  Enjoyed the Memorial

  by ScottyRex in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  probably not a popular opinion on here....and haven't been actively attending meetings since 1988....(i know i know a submarine attender) however thoroughly enjoyed attending this evening...was good to see lots of people i remember whilst growing up in this faith, they were genuine and the whole atmosphere was one of love.

  sure if i suddenly wanted to become active again and didn't change my lifestyle they would drop me like a bomb.....however i haven't and won't and they didn't and don't.

  this works for me.. i cannot demonize the witnesses on what i have seen tonight.

  Thanks OTWO.....and for the definition. Its just that when that term is used on here it it used as if 'a trap' to get people in to some sinister organisation..(which may of you I'm sure concur) I don't.

  I didn't feel that, and I don't feel anything sinister. These were loving people who I remember growing up and many I don't. I think I was recognised as probably a lost sheep from 30 years ago, but they were genuine, and they were loving. Even if I am not about to return to the fold. I do recognise fakes.

  John....I didn't suggest anyone did. You inferred tho.

  Thanks OTWO.....I'm old enough and wise enough now to recognise which is genuine and which is not. That old apostate 'love bombing'......please.

  you can if you present an intelligent post. But bashing and degenerating for little reason with 'I hate JWs' will not do.

  I don't claim wikipaedia is infallible, however note Brazil, under Religion:

  The 2010 national census reported 226,509 people identifying as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints;[17] This is very different from the church's reported membership, in 2012, of 1,173,533[18] causing some to question the membership numbers reported by the LDS church.[19]

  Is it OK to teach your children that Homosexuality is wrong?

  by Thomasdam in

  1. social
  2. family

  i know a few family's who have left the cult but send their kids to a religious school because of the public schools teaching many times that homosexuality is ok. the bible is clear that its a sin.

  there is no just love each other and its all ok. i don't believe in the bible or any religion.

  i have a niece who came out as gay and i told her i don't care.
