I'm still watching it and realised that their fleshly brother is dfs and they get upset that he is at their mothers and she doesn't want them to tell their father, who himself just did the wrong thing. How truthful is this story, they are hypocrites. CULT,CULT,CULT.

I've taped it, (thanks smiddy for letting us know), I've watch some of it and I think its good. I can't believe I use to think that everyone will die. I'll just get back to watching it. Thanks jwfacts for posting a picture of Tabitha.

The Loving Disfellowshipping Arrangement

by headisspinning in

my youngest sister is the only person in my jw family who has had any real contact with my husband and i and our baby.

for the first year she cut us off too but then after a while she seemed to realize how horrible it was and she opened up to us.. well, she is very easily influenced by the family and so she cut us off again.

she tried to feed me the line about it being for our own good blah, blah, blah.. here is an excerpt from how i replied:.

I agree with nugget, it is a disgusting form of BULLYING. It is a cult and thats why they have to scare people. CULT, CULT, CULT, CULT.

Worst Night of the Year

by Quendi in

well, it's that time of year again.

the memorial season is upon us and jws the world over are getting ready for the celebration which this year falls on 17 april.

for the first time since 1975, yours truly will not attend and i couldn't be happier.

etna

Last year was the first that I missed in 49 years, no one even asked if we were going. (I feel for you palmtree). I'm glad I'm not going, they are all over "interested" ones, but dfs one they completely ignore, I wish some "interested" ones would notice and say where's the love.

Yay! Finally 2 Jdubs at my door.

by cyberjesus in

so i was posting on the forum and 2 neatly dressed jws came.

they didnt know who i was so i opened the door.... .

they started with their regular fear inspiring statements that god will destroy the "world", so i asked if he was gonna destroy me..... and thats where the fun started.

etna

I wish I had some jws call at my door. But I've taken note of how you handled them and will remember not to attack their beliefs, but ask them to explain them.

e-document: "Blood on Their Hands: The Story of a Hemophiliac Child in the Jehovah's Witness Cult"

by AndersonsInfo in

this material is so important that i felt compelled to recommend it even though it costs a few dollars.

while you're reading what this sick child was put through at the hands of ignorant religious zealots, i think you will feel the emotional pain and anger i did.

how in the world can the witnesses in this child's world believe that they have love for others, when by their actions, they demonstrated that they don't.

Thanks for posting this Barbara, and I'm so sorry Mary. 20 odd years ago when my son was 4 years old and he had his tonsils out, he couldn't stop bleeding and we had to take him back to the hospital. I was disfellowshiped at the time and not with my son's mother(who is a really nice lady). Anyway all the liason bros came out of the woodwork, giving support(making sure no blood was given) to my ex. So much pressure for her, so we held off for as long as we could, until the doctors said they couldn't stop the bleeding and he was definately going to die. Well I had nothing to lose, and they still weren't talking to me, even though they could see how distraught I was(constantly crying), so I said to give him the blood, and he was fine and he is as healthy as ever. Unfortunately he is a jw, but I'm trying to help him see how much of a cult it is, very slowly.
