I do not condone any of this at all. All I was saying sometimes if one has lost his family, he feels there is nothing to lose. I think it is a terrible act, hurting and trying to posion someone and their family.

It was in the Sunday telegragh on page 18 "A murder attempt in chuch". Someone that was disfellowshiped has been trying to poison an elder and his family in Adelaide. I certainly don't agree with this at all, but I do understand this man doing something like this. I imagine, he being df, that he is being shunned by his family and therefore feels he has lost his family and tried to get the elders back. I do feel sorry for him. I will make a comment on this to the newspaper stating this. If anyone else feels that way maybe they can say something too.

Letter to the Writing Department from Barbara Anderson
by Dogpatch ini thought i knew you.
an open letter from barbara anderson to watch towers writing department.
in 1517, martin luther wrote in a letter to archbishop albert of mainz: you must graciously forgive that i, that scum of the earth, am so bold as to dare to address a letter to you.. yes, i know, you think of me as scum, just like mainz believed of luther, wondering how i dare write you a letter, someone jehovahs witnesses disfellowshipped back in 2002. i was accused of being an unrepentant sinner and condemned for causing divisions, then labeled apostate because i spoke out publicly on nbcs dateline tv program aboutthe child sexual abuse policies that protected pedophiles policies that you helped formulate.

Can someone please help me?
by ruderedhead inhello, i'm new to posting here, although i have been reading and gaining insight for quite a while.
thank you to all of you.. i wrote a letter of disassociation this week, and sent it to the local kh.
i have been faded for a number of years, and after much research, know that the witnesses do not have the truth.

Throwing this out there...
by NY23brown indo jehovah's witnesses tend to contact family members no longer associated with the religion, especially around holidays, and try to get them to "come back"?
i'm married (never been a jw) and husband hasn't been a part of that religion since his teens (he's now 39).
i've written here before regarding my in-laws sending people to our house from kingdom hall, etc.

If he has been out for 20 years and votes and calls them a cult, he knows what they are like. Another way to go about things is maybe respecting their (your MIL and FIL) view. But show or ask your husband that they should respect your view also. Then they will seem like the bad guys and not you. Just my 2 cents worth. Hope it goes well for you and your family.
