That's a great letter!!!! Very moving and this statement really stood out to me:
"They had been living in sort of a virtual reality." --- It is sooooo true.
I hope this letter reaches her heart and she opens her mind and eyes.

My sister called! I've written her a letter...
by Confession ini was working in corpus christi this past weekend, when my sister called out of the blue on sunday.
she, like the rest of my family, is a very zealous jw, and since i am recognized as an apostate, i haven't seen nor spoken to her in about four years.
i was completely shocked that she called.

Did You ACTUALLY Believe That Jehovah Was Going To Answer Your Prayers?
by minimus ini know many people, witnesses and nonjws that truly believe that if they prayed to god, he would hear their entreaty and perform some miracle and grant their wishes.. did you believe in the power of prayer?.

I used to believe he was. Now, I feel as prayer is just wishful thinking and something used to comfort oneself. Why would my prayer requests be more important than someone else?

My long time friends 18yo daughter attends the local community college. She is also pioneering and working part-time. Though the long term goal is to be able to use her degree to further her spiritual goals and pioneering-she is getting a degree having something to do with sign-language.

Did You Know Any "Gay" Jehovah's Witnesses?
by minimus ini suspect a few witnesses were not "straight" but didn't act on their sexual preferences.. i knew one up and coming bethelite who was approached by the bethel heavies and talked to about his "effeminate mannerisms" and was pretty much told that he could become a more prominent menmber of the bethel family if he "became more masculine looking" and preferably found a bethel sister to marry.
he followed the counsel and was thereafter a regular designated bethel speaker at district conventions.
interestingly, all of his bethel buddies thought the whole scenario was a hoot, knowing that he was really an effeminate man suddenly now looking very hetero..

Yes, we had an elder in our congregation who was very feminine acting. He was married then divorced. He became openly gay upon his divorce (and df'ing). Me and the hubby saw him out once at a club after he came out. Kind of crazy to see him be so free with it but we are not judgmental about that choice so we chatted with him and went on our way.

The DEMONS broke her leg! Too funny or maybe sad!?
by QuestioningEverything inmy mom told me about a sister in her hall that came in on crutches to the meeting sunday.
my mom asked her what happened and she said that thursday night when she was on her way out the door to the kh, that two demons attacked her.
they knocked her to the ground and one held her down while the other one jumped on her leg and broke it .

Not sure if she's anointed but I figure she has some 'evil' yard sale stuff in her house or was watching a Harry Potter movie.

They knocked her to the ground and one held her down while the other one jumped on her leg and broke it .
My mom was perplexed and offered her some comfort but apparently this sister has had 'problems' with demons before. She is 'normal' other than this issue- according to my mom- My mom is very kind hearted and sees the best in everyone. I say she sounds a little touched and some strong psychotropic medications along with therapy and monitoring would cure her demon problem.
