  You're a better person than I for entertaining uninvited visitors. Sorry you had to deal with them, good job on questioning their motives.

  Why I Left Jehovah's Witnesses--a 10-page essay by sd-7

  by sd-7 in

  why i left jehovahs witnesses.

  they can be painful to bear, but sometimes that is part of life in a setting with many people and their various personalities.. it was my examination of evidence that did lead me to leave jehovahs witnesses.

  they, of course, had failed to bear proper witness to his name.

  i used to sew advanced vogue patterns but not in a while.

  i know just enough about large prints to ask a myriad of questions.

  for decades, i've wanted a good quality chinoisserie print.

  Make sure the fabric is on-grain and cut the fabric in single layer using the with nap markings on the pattern.

  A quick google search will bring up a number sewing blogs detailing this technique. But you can't go wrong with Threads mag.

  My siblings and I 'borrow' from each other all of the time but I would never take the same liberties with anyone else. Even if I was doing them a favor. In my experience, when folks encourage you to 'help yourself' they're referring to food. Not booze, clothing and the contents of medicine cabinets,LOL.

  Nice to hear from you!

  I'm sorry that your parents are still shunning you. But it sounds like you are still holding your head high. Take care of yourself.

  Are there ex-jws who haven't read Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk?

  by mutinyinheaven in

  every ex-jw who has read my novel of a love story based in the jws is blown away.

  there hasn't been one bad review, and it has been reviewed in the boston globe, san francisco chronicle, sf weekly, portland's weekly and daily newspaper and more.

  publishers weekly gave it a starred rating and it's optioned for a film through hunting lane, the same producers who brought you blue valentine and half nelson.. it's available all over north america at indie bookstores, barnes & noble and more.. if you buy it off of me directly and don't like it, i will refund upon return of book minus shipping and paypal costs.. www.tonydushane.com.

  Hello--new to the witnesses...and you

  by LKM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wanted to introduce myself.

  i went to the kh for the first time 2 weeks ago...and will go again tomorrow.

  i don't believe anything witnessy...(i was raised in the assembly of god church and now the closest thing i "do" with religion is yoga or sometimes the buddhist temple).... but the man i'm in love with is a df'd jw (we've been together for 6 years).... and he wants to get reinstated just to talk to his family again (i can assure you he does not believe it).... and he wants his family to accept me because we are about to get married... so, i'm going to meetings...its very interesting, but only because it shows me more about how he was raised.

  Welcome to the forum.

  Attending meetings will not make a difference in him being reinstated. If you nothing is hindering you, get married and then he can proceed with the long reinstatement process. Good luck.
