This is the comment that my husband made to me this morning about his mom. I felt terrible for him. She is an UBER-JW!!! His childhood was very JW structured. It still affects him to this day-- it's hard to let go of things that were put in your head for over 30 years.
I don't know what to say to take away his sadness about this.
the jw rollercoaster continues!
if you still have to go to meetings, i sympathize with you.
i know a few that keep up appearances so that they do not lose their loved family members.
It's kind of like a kid who gets an A- on his math test and his parent wonders why it wasn't an A+.
here is the thing.
as mentioned earlier i have been fading for almost 2 years now.
i moved to another congr.
J12-If it was as easy as just telling the truth to the elders, there would be no need for a board like this. Most of us don't want our families to shun us because we no longer want to attend the KH. What do you think would happen if you told someone you no longer wanted to attend? Do you really think the elders would just walk away quietly? Or that others in the congregation would understand and let you be? NO-within a short time, it would be all over the congregation what you said and others would immediately start the shunning-despite the fact that you were not DF'd. I've seen it happen.
bohm-I would let the elders contacting you know that you appreciate their concern but you will contact them if you need any 'encouragement/assistance. Best Wishes to you!
took my dogs for a walk on a beatiful mild sunny day 24 degrees.
winter is coming soon so i cleaned our wall heater!
i have never seen snow here but our cars and lawns can frost over with cold night temps so hows your weather?.
45 degrees F here in Flint, Michigan, USA. Very happy that spring is on it's way.
i have been reading your posts for 2 weeks now, and i am riveted!
i spend every spare moment on this site.
it has become rather like a drug to me!
Welcome!!! This is a wonderful, terrific website and the people who are on here are great!! It has truly helped me regain my sanity. Hope that you find the same peace of mind that many of us have found.
this one-- love it, love it, love it!!
weather.com-- I am a weather junkie-strange, I know.
dreamindemon.com -crime website
craigslist .org -love to check out the furniture listings.
Yes, my husband did. He tried to kindly reason with me. He tried to go hard-core with the reasons it was wrong-by starting arguments with me about it. Finally, he just started to plant some seeds of doubt here and there. I resisted all of those attempts. Several years later, I did some research on my own and Damn-what a shocker I got!
Thank goodness I discovered the realities of the WTBS (WatchTowerBullShit). I am grateful my husband was patient with me(mostly) and the blinders I had on.
i was reading some of danny haszards web site last night.
i haven't been able to find out what happened to the parents of laree slack.
her parents larry and constance slack, jw's, beat their 12 yr old daughter with a 5 foot 1 inch thick electric cable.
The parents were both sentenced to prison. Good!!!
i saw 6 jw zombies walking up a hill near where i live the other day.
they all were dressed nicely.
they walked together in twos.
HELL NO!!!!!
a couple of years ago we got into this huge family argument because i didn't believe jehovah was going to destroy 99.9% of the population at armageddon.
elders were involved and i almost got d'ffed.
i didn't talk to her or my parents for 4 months.
Sounds like something did 'click' in your sister's head. I hope you are able to lead her out of the organization. good job!!
