  Shunned by family

  by Ruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my fiancé is an ex-jehovah’s witness.

  when he was 18 years old, his 17 year old brother was killed in an accident.

  his parents having previously lost an infant daughter were understandably distraught and were therefore highly susceptible to an organisation which seemed to be able to supply definitive answers where more mainstream religion seemed to fail them..

  Excellent synopsis of the situation, welcome to the board.

  Unfortunately you are dealing with a full blown cult, as you probably realize. You have figured it out, you pretty much can be the go-between because you haven't dedicated yourself to the cult. Contact will always be limited and strained unless your fiance wants to play their silly game and get reinstated. Unfortunately it would probably take a few years of attending meetings and being shunned before he would be reinstated.

  On the plus side, he could flip the middle finger to the whole organization if he never attended another meeting after reinstatement and his family then could talk to him.

  Young JW's attitudes

  by Phizzy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i met an old friend last evening, a great guy, an xjw for longer than me.. during a conversation about our experiences since fading (neither of us are da'd or anything) we got to talking about the young jw's.. his wife is still in, and he has two lovely daughters who he is trying to teach the art of critical thinking so that they can make the right choice in the future.. what worries him though is that he is convinced almost all young jw's do not give a "proverbial" if it is the truth or not, they simply wish to remain in it because of the social aspects, loads of friends and activities that they feel safe partaking in etc etc.. so how do you convince these young people that they would have a better life if they left ?.

  they see it as losing all their friends, and being alone and trying to build new relationships, which is mostly true.. how do we convince them to make the leap ?.

  should they ?.

  He needs to break up the social system as they grow up. By that I mean he needs to allow and encourage them to hang out with the kids from school.

  I fortunately have been able to do this with my teenage girl. She is quickly seeing that the teens in the hall don't give a shit if she isn't around. I'm so hopeful she will get out fully within the next year or so.

  so my cousins in seattle have had their regional convention i believe (at the tacoma dome).

  my cousin has a sister that has been inactive for 40 years but doesn't ever speak against the jw's but still inactive nonetheless.

  so this weekend they are going out on his cousin's boat, her husband is a deacon in the local episcopalian church.

  Microsoft has not made anything worth while since Windows 95.

  JW's opinions on bunker video

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the so called bunker video isn't just getting attention here but among jws as well.

  i've heard a fair share of cracks, some half joking half serious about the prospect of the video playing out in real life .

  but something else i've heard is that the video was meant to be figurative, an illustration representing the 'interior rooms' prophecy..

  The JWs hope to hell its figurative, none of them want to go out and start spending their hard earned money and more of their time on bunker construction.
