My very first Halloween-two years ago, I dressed up as a prisoner, striped hat and uniform. It was big fun and my husband dressed as a Judge, with the long black robe and gavel. We had a great time that year. Whatever you choose to be, enjoy it!!!

The pain got too much so I wrote to my daughter....
by Lozhasleft ini just wrote a message to my youngest daughter - its been over a year since we were in touch.
she moved to live with an older sibling and cut off contact with me.
she's only 17. its been heartbreaking.

Lozhasleft--I have been thinking about you all day wondering if you received a response. I'm so sorry that it turned out the way it did. That Cult is destroying families. It's sick to think of what they do on a daily basis.
Please be strong and hang in there. I am so sorry for the pain you are going through.
Sincerely,
Susan

Hello-today is my birthday-yeah, I'm 42y. My co-workers brought me flowers and a cake. I feel so loved. It was the first time as an adult that someone sang Happy Birthday to me.
I was also able to anti-witness to them about the JW's. It feels good sharing with others the real reasons why I never celebrated my b-day. What a cool way to start my day.

Do either of you know what publication it was in? I'd be curious to see that and wonder where the hell they came up with such an idea!

Thanks for the real story Blondie. It's very interesting to see how the WTBS get's rid of those that question their authority. I'd love to hear how those brothers are doing today. I hope they all stayed out of the organization.

At the tribulation your children may be taken from you like in nazi Germany
by jambon1 init is incredible the amount of scaremongering that jw's carry out.. this was one that always plagued me when i was still trying to grasp onto my beliefs as a jw.. either in wt study or in private discussion, this topic would come up.. what a horendous outlook of the future.
to be in absolute fear that the authorities might take your children away from you.
that you might suffer torture.

I remember hearing this many times. It was horrifying. As a parent, I worried about how I would protect my kids if that happened. It's no different than how other religion's teach hellfire to their parishoner's. It's all about teaching fear to get people to submit.
I am so HAPPY that I no longer fear this and don't fret each time the news comes on. The 'truth' really does set you free!!
