  Apparently, we are all dishonest

  i have been stewing on something all night and i need to vent.

  my dear grammy's service is this saturday and i am playing along nicely, planning on going to the kh and being respectful and trying to be true to my grammy's legacy.

  she was truly the kindest person i have known and i know she loved her religion and the people around her.. however, my sister, who has decided to return to the jw religion a few years back after being so against it, is up for the service.

  I have been stewing on something all night and I need to vent. My dear Grammy's service is this Saturday and I am playing along nicely, planning on going to the KH and being respectful and trying to be true to my Grammy's legacy. She was truly the kindest person I have known and I know she loved her religion and the people around her.

  However, my sister, who has decided to return to the JW religion a few years back after being so against it, is up for the service. That's fine. I respect her choice to be whatever religion she chooses, and if it makes her happy, then so be it. Who am I to say? She just can't keep her mouth shut about it, which is annoying, but that's typical. They can't help it.

  Anyway, she lost her camera case and some money, credit card and a license. She left it at a lake. I called up there and left the information for them to call if it was found. I was hopeful...I said, maybe someone will find it and call. She immediately said, well, if they're a JW, then, yes, otherwise, no. I was stunned. I wasn't quite sure that I heard it correctly. The implication is that we're all dishonest. Seriously? I found a wallet not too long ago loaded with cash. I sent it back to the owner and paid the postage myself and never really told anyone. Until now. I am not sure how to handle this and I need advice.

  The truth is, I know that she's up to some things that would definitely get her booted to the curb. However, I am not one that is in a position to judge anyone or tattle. But I am thinking that once this whole thing is over with my grandmother, I might send her an email saying that I am aware of exactly what she's up to, and while she may be fooling everyone else, she's not fooling me. And then end it there. I might also add that when she needs me (which she eventually will when she's busted) I'll be here, as usual.

  Thoughts?? Opinions?? Thanks.

  Found this gem in a coffee table book from 1947

  context was a discussion of anti-war groups.

  the caption for the pic described the jws as "pathetic" (probably reflecting the victorious postwar mood).

  outlaw could probably have some fun incorporating this pic into his comments!

  So sorry about your loss..my grandmother passed last month as well. She would have been 89 this month. She was a JW for over 60 years and a "pioneer" for just about that long. I loved her dearly and miss her every day. Although she was one of the most faithful JWs I've ever come across, she never judged me or anyone else around her. I let her know my views, I knew hers, but we both still loved each other regardless. I wish that every JW and ex JW could have the relationship we had....there wouldn't be so much heartache.

  Love,

  Diana

  Friend gets "scriptural divorce" over wifes transgressions before they got married...

  by sosoconfused in

  2. experiences

  so i have a friend in a congregation in new jersey who recently called me to tell me that he got a divorce.

  nothing surprising there at first but it is the fact of when it happened.

  his wife began pioneering april 1, and after about three weeks she came to him and told him that about 4 years she had engaged in loose conduct (fondling the penis and the guy kissing her breasts) during a time that she was inactive.

  Why does god kill children?

  by Comatose in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was thinking about all the accounts in the bible that indicate god kills children as a punishment or teaching experience.

  1. kills all of egypts firstborn sons, who were innocent kids who did nothing to him or his people, who had no control over the decisions pharoah made.

  how many times have you read that account or thought about it without realizing the devastating pain dealt to all those parents, and remembered those were innocent kids?.

  Kind of goes against the "God is love" BS we were taught, huh? I always had a problem with this issue. Some of the people in the Bible had it coming, but children???
