I heard that love bombing on another site. I got just the opposite from the so called 'witnesses' there. I was seeking help and was attacked viciously by the witnesses. They kept saying I was being love bombed by the apostates and was going over to their side because of it. I have never been so upset in all my life as to the treatment I recieved from the so called witnesses there.

Is your parents paying your bills? If not, they have no control over you at all. Well if you dont live in their home, they have no control even if they pay your bills. LOL

I just want this to stop!
by mrsjones5 inas some of you know my husband became ill and we lost our house in indiana.
my parents offered to help and although i really didn't want to do it knowing that my parents have limited resources i really didn't have a choice.
i also wanted to come back to a place that was familiar and where most of my family and friends are.

Have you tried talking to them very calmly and telling them what they are doing to you? Maybe speak to your mother and explain to her how they are hurting you. I guess I am just one who is very close to her parent and would hate to be in the situation.

Maybe this person is afraid as well and scared to talk about it right now, just give them time and they will come to see. I would have never thought that after this many years I would have questioned things, I was, and am still very scared to do it. Just back off from it for now and let them come to you.

I was so afraid that Jehovah would cause something horrible to happen to me if I came here. Someone told me that it would not, so far, they are right. Someone also ask me, why would I want to serve a God that would punish me for wanting to make sure I was doing what he wanted of me, they made a very good point. How could they look at someone who had served Jehovah for as many years as a lot of us here, and think just because we questioned something it made us apostates? Do you think that maybe a lot of them have questioned things themselves inside, but never let it out as we have? When I was a the memorial with my mother this year, I kept noticing the speaker kept looking me in the eye, was this my imagination, or did he know something? I do not know, but I know it made me feel uneasy.

How many TIMES can a JW be DF'd before the ELDERS dismiss them PERMANENTLY?
by african GB Member ini know a "sister" who has been df'd 10 times for adultery within a period of 15 years..... she is married....her hubby was an elder until she got df'd for the 1st time...he was then deleted....apparently the sister was not happy in the bedroom, he was always away doing cong duties, including jcs....... she keeps getting reinstated, and usually it does'nt take long for her (not the usual 6 months).....apparently she is a very good actress (she cries like a baby in the jcs )..... how many times can she keep getting df'd and reinstated like this until the elders say it is enough?.

Comparisons between todays Witnesses and those 40 years ago
by truthseeker inloyalty, devotion, hardcore, willing to lose jobs to attend friday of the district convention.
these were the witnesses who came into the truth or were born into it some 30-60 years ago.
they could reason from the scriptures and hold their own at the doors.. today, i see a large mass of witnesses who have been in some 10-15 years who really don't know much about their own faith, could not explain 1914, are unwilling to lose jobs and sleep over attending meetings and assemblies and live double lives.

I remember going to assemblies far far away. I remember one in Oklahoma City and a horrible storm that came up when it was over and we were on our way home on the Will rodgers turnpike. Lightning was horrible. Also I remember going to Milwaukee and staying in a home that scared me silly. I thought it was haunted!! The home we stayed in at Oklahoma City had a Oil well under it, yes she opened the door to the cellar and showed us the big ole pump pumping away. I was so scared it would blow up, but you have to remember I was probably all of 10 years old.
I also remember all the get togethers they use to have, it was fun being with all the other kids and having so much fun. They do nothing for the young ones anymore and they wonder why they leave when they are old enough? I remember parties, and ball games, and house warmings, they dont do anything like that anymore.
mouthy, I am so sorry your daughter does not speak to you anymore, that just breaks my heart to think of it, I would hate for a daughter to do me that way.

I cannot find how to start a new topic, maybe I cant yet because of being new, but I wanted to ask what is the deal with IBSA? Are Jehovahs Witnesses still part of them or not? MY mother who is still a witness told me a few years ago that they were a break off part of the Witnesses, but according to the internet, they are still very much a part of the WTS. If this is true, why do they not still follow the teachings of Russell?

Like you berean I am here to find truths, proven truths. I to am so mad that for years I was unable to voice my opinion on things...and still do not have that right as of yet. I am scared silly for any of the witnesses to find out I am questioning things. I have no idea what would happen to my mother if I were to get disfellowshipped. My brother is having these same thoughts. I am so scared and not afraid to admit I do not like what I am finding out.
