  Two possible reasons why some elders stay in the organization.

  do you think some elders stay in the organization just because of prestige and getting horny at some judicial committee meetings?

  They are ego triped men that don't have the humility to know they are in a cult

  or

  They are good men that want to help

  coercion to refuse blood.

  today i uploaded a new article to my blog documenting instances of inappropriate coercion to have jehovahs witness patients refuse blood.

  the article clippings from the early 1950s are a must read.

  The Internet and appointed JW positions

  by Black Man in

  does anybody remember a letter from the org which discouraged appointed ms and elders from having a page on facebook or having a presence on the internet?

  and that it could lead to deletion or affect their appointment?.

  yes, what convinced you to leave the jw's org?

  i've known about this group since 1949, things were much different back in those days, yes they were exciting times.

  why did i eventually leave this group?

  To start with like so many others was the lack of love

  Then the elders view of themselves. They think they can judge another persons heart

  Then reading Crisis of conscience

  help appreciated...any success or failures at truly conscious efforts to make new friends after a life in jwland? As a very social person i still only seem to have ex-dubs as my new friends...

  by oompa in

  as a jw...at least if you were social...you could walk into about any hall and find other social jw's you could become friends with...yes they are conditional...perhaps more so than other friends, but i did have some great friends there and i still miss them.

  since my wake up....then departure....now df status....i realize that i have had only seven or so real friends and five were found here..... five are fairly local, one is far away, and one is an old high school friend i have reconnected with (lives a thousand miles away).....and i have met some nice people through these friends but they are more aquaintances than close friends.

  the bar scene did not really get me anywhere with guys or girls...and i tried meetup.com but as of yet have not connected with anyone....so what worked for you?

  I'd agree with what is already said. It sounds like a personal thing with your sister. Apostates are as bad as it gets. They trump child abusers! She may just be uncomfortable with your life style or just not willing to go without a mom.

  A polite way to ask someone to keep their hands to themselves...

  by White Dove in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  what's a polite way to ask a man to keep his hands to himself while conversing in a group with you?.

  this neighbor of mine and i were sitting in chairs on the deck with other people.. he always touched me whenever he said anything to me or i said anything to him.. it was as if he was using touch like an antenna to send and receive signals.. i didn't know what to do, so instead of risking embarrassment for us both, i did nothing but stand up and step away.. i stepped away after he attempted to caress my hamstrings on one leg.. *shudder*.

  wonder why 60+ year old men think that a woman being nice to him means she's hot for him.. also wonders why it's only the smoking, beer guzzling, scrawny, bony, and smelly old men who do that.. .

  I had a "stiuation" at work. A man EVERY TIME he saw me - almost every day- would run up to me a hug, put his arma round me... I tried the run the other way, mature choice for a while. One day he corrnered me and I just said "please, don't touch me I'm just not a touchy person" He jumped back and said sorry thank you for telling me. Now I just get a nod when he sees me and my Blood Pressure no longer goes up when I see him....

  What would the world be like if everybody was a Jehovah Witnesses

  on the news the other day they showed a young man after graduating from high school went out and got drunk and had a bad car accident.

  he was paralyze from the waist down.

  instead of going into deep depression of what he did to himself he started his life over and went to college and was involved in inventing a exoskeleton for disable people.
