i 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
i turn 35 today - since the mr. won't be celebrating with me - i thought i'd announce it here!.

Have a wonderful day!! Happy Birthday!
my co-workers brought me flowers and a cake.
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.
Thank you everyone!! It's been a wonderful day so far.
OTWO-thanks for the information, I wasn't sure where to submit my time at-lol

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.
having a discussion with my sister and she remembers that there used to be a teaching that the earth had a watercloud over it and that's how we got rain.
anyone else remember this?
i vaguely do..
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!

what happened in bonham, texas?
: the body of elders and the majority of the congregation decided to leave the watch tower organization.
and with that, they took the kingdom hall.
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.
it 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!!
and how far apart were they?.
thanks.
Once, in 1985. We have been together ever since-almost 25 years.
is it true that the current thinking of jehovah's witnesses is that you can "fornicate" with your marriage mate if you engage in sexual activity that is not approved by the writing department at bethel?
what are some examples?.
ultrabimbo.
I remember a talk at the Service meeting about this topic. It was maybe 6 or 7 years ago. The elder giving the talk said that if you have oral or anal sex with your spouse, you are committing fornication.
