i apologize for being absent for so long.

i've got a jw at my house right now (unexpectedly) who is talking to my husband.

he keeps on bringing up that only jw's have universal love....that if you go anywhere in the world, you can mention you're a witness & you'll automatically be welcomed and accepted by fellow jw's.

How Many Years have your JW Relatives Shunned You ?
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
i felt with newer members coming on and other jw fence sitters lurking it might be a good thing to explain what many of us have had to go through in regards to being shunned, cut off, ostracized from our jw families in an unjust way .

whether we are dfed or inactive - many of us have shared this same fate and ill treatment.

for many of us- it makes us stronger, more firmly entrenched that the decision we made to exit the jehovah's witness organization was the correct decision as no organization that claims to be " christian " would ever commit such horrid atrocities or justify it !

My son is having a birthday party today
by mrsjones5 in
1. jw
2. friends
one of his friends can't come because his mother is a jw.

i told my boy he shouldn't have said to the mother what kind of party it was.

he's just having a few friends over for food and video gaming, something his friend has done before at other "worldly" kids' house along with my son.. there will be no beheadings at this party..
