FlyingHighNow's Nephew's shunning - tragic ending

by Incognito in

flyinghighnow (heather) updated her thread last evening about her nephew's shunning treatment by his own mother.

this story has now taken a tragic turn and because heather had updated the original thread, it has been buried and has not gotten the recognition it deserves.. the third page of the original thread is here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/196991/3/my-lovely-jw-sister-just-said-this-to-her-oldest-son last evenings post is about half way down.. .

please provide heather some kindness and support that she needs at this time.. .

Mattieu

Thinking of you and your family Heather Mattieu.

hi i am new here

by dawntodaylight in

i had started studying with jw because i was curious about the religion because my bf then(now husband) was a witness.

i am a very open minded person and really had i known what i know now i prob would not have been baptized.

i always had my doubts but i really enjoyed the positive aspects that i was learning at the meetings...i studied with my mom in law.i prob shouldn't have done that because she has taken it very personal that we have stopped and even had the nerve to say i started studying to get in good with the fam!!

Mattieu

Welcome dawntodaylight, congrats on taking the big step away from the borg, look forward to hearing more from you. Cheers, Mattieu

What's the saddest movie you've ever seen?

i'm asking because i just watched "the road".

it may not be the saddest but it's up there.

"my sister's keeper" was a real tearjerker too..

Would you invite Jehovah to a party?

by JimmyPage in

jw

i think he would be a real buzzkill.

for example, if someone were fornicating upstairs, he'd probably want to annihilate them with fire.

or if someone were tapping the keg too much he'd want to take them to the back room and give them some strong counsel.

Mattieu

Sure!! Why not, imagine what he could do to the water, would have to be a lot better wine than his son produced - Almighty Chardonnay Label
