Your worst field service experience.

by littlebird in

my worst field service experience was this.. i didn't have a car at the time and so a pioneer sister was picking me up of service every couple of days.

she was my partner and i got a door where the woman was clearly not interested.

as i am stepping away the pioneer sister starts in with all the objection stoppers.

Im sure many a brother has snagged their pants running from a dog. I always felt sorry for the brothers on hot days wearing suits. Even with the jacket off, it still had to be hot.

High Profile Case: Seeking Reinstatement

by headisspinning in

but our situation is very difficult and quite high profile.... i was raised as a jw and my mother was very strict and abusive.

i got baptized at age 14.. my mother actually called on my (present) husband's mom in service.

she was on the initial call resulting in his mom coming in the truth and him being raised in it from about age 8 or 9.. despite a very abusive step-father, he followed his mom's lead and came into the truth.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the story of the prodigal son. I just have never read, where is father made him turn in a letter in the first place or his father saying he had to wait for years to be allowed back in the family. Just things to think about. I wish you the best.

Welcome, Headisspinning! take this time to read your bible on your own. compare different translations. I would start in the greek scriptures. Then ask yourself "Would Jesus have treated us this way?" How about the woman he met at the well? Ask yourself, if the wt way of dealing with people they have disfellowshipped is really the way the bible tells us to handle these situations.

It is nice to have you here!

sorry

it s me again....and yes, i m still alive.. first of all: i am really sorry for causing some trouble lately.

i had the intention of taking an overdose the other day.

to be perfectly honest, i was drunk out of my mind when i wrote my last post, and someone i knew gave me all kind of pills to take.

littlebird

Glad you're back. Leaving the wt sets us through a range of emotions and it is good to have people to talk to. I dont think anyone can really understand what we go through, unless they've been a witness. Hang in there!

Worshiping an act itself

by WTWizard in

you probably heard of people worshiping people (such as a parent, a study conductor), things (crosses, money), or organizations (a church, the washtowel babble and crap slaveholdery).. i believe, however, there is one other thing one can worship: actions.

and, among the witlesses, the most common acts that are worshiped are field circus and boasting session attendance.

this happens when one believes that they are going to see one or more of their problems gone as long as they are attending every boasting session and/or doing excessive field circus.

My sentiments, also.

my daughter is in the hospital with pneumonia, and possibly a blood clot in her lung.

they'll be testing through the night...apparently, her heart is enlarged as well.

she is scared... and if her jw father catches wind of it, he will be there trying to intefere with her treatment... he lives close by to her, so i'll be flying down in the morning....to head him off at the pass.
