@Stonewall. Thank you! You are a jawja boy? Where do you live? The congregations and people that I contacted have been affected in a large way. Some have awakened to what is going on. Others have talked to me for extended periods of times, and yet still others who are df'd or whatever have taken a stand themselves. Many more however, like you said, are terrified, and talking up a storm. Much controversy! At least they are talking about stuff.

How a teenage boy helped end the Cold War with Russia
by moshe insometimes people claim than an individual can't change the world, but i guess matthias rust , a 19 year old west german, never heard that one.
in 1987 he flew a private all the way to moscow to plead for world peace and his unbelievable flight probably did more to end the cold war than a bevy of professional diplomats.. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/26/ar2007052601262.html.
i am hoping an idealistic young person will bring down the wt org, too..

BP & Moshe I agree with both of you in a way. It is VERY hard to lose your relationship with your family (trust me I have and know), but being silent isn't the course of action either. After 10 years of being treated different and talked down to by my parents, and shunned, and keeping silent my thoughts on the world in front of them, I finally bit the bullet and made that painful decision. I have no relationship at all with my parents right now, and in fact I told them that I would rather not talk to them at all if they don't treat me like a son. But my brother was able to break free from that mind control, and just two weeks ago, he gave them a call and told them what he really thinks about their insolent treatment of their children. In fact, several people have stood up to the WT authority structure in my area after I became very vocal and active. Once you make a stand, you will feel better, and actually losing an abusive mentally diseased family is not that bad. Moshe I am idealistic like you seem to be, and I get impatient too. It may seem like the end of the world to cause such a social earthquake, but it is worth all the sacrifice. And you may gain your family eventually.

That would be funny! Yeah, let's get the word out! I am talking to some of my local ex-JW friends too, to try and get them to go. I hope that some people go this year and take a stand against their abuse and against their suppression of truth and freedom.

Wasn't Jesus a shaman? Fasted for forty days in the desert, talked to God and Satan, ect., ect. I think Shamanism is indeed a gateway to the spiritual mind. I highly recommend the book, "DNA and the Cosmic Serpent", it will help you to understand Shamanism from a western scientific viewpoint.

Help please - my wife wants a divorce
by IMHO ini've read some old posts and they don't really fit my situation.. my wife just told me she wants a divorce and that's it after nearly 20 years., she doesn't want to try to work on it.. other posts talk about friends and family.
i have no family and no friends (due to a lot of traveling).. i went back to my hometown a year ago (after many years away) and even then old friends treated me as a stranger, like they've moved on.. i've had a lot of emotional / mental problems, basically a breakdown so have found it impossible to fulfill my role as a husband for many years, emotionally and physically and she said she's had enough, although she's never talked about it before.. she went out and had an unplanned one-night-stand.
i forgive me but she says she doesn't love me anymore.. we both find it very difficult to communicate our feelings.

I have totally went through what you are going through right now, twice! You will survive this man, you can manage the mental problems too. I have managed severe anxiety and panic disorder with and without medication. All this shit you are going through may have a bright side to it. Look for that, and it can be a real help. By the way, feel free to give me a call if you can bring yourself to talk. Trust me, I understand. I have even gotten to the point where it is hard even to talk, just period. Call me and I will just talk to you and tell you my story man, it may help you out, just to hear somebody else went through this. I will also tell you how my life drastically changed for the better. 404-645-8060 Clint

What will happen to me if I drink all of the wine when it is passed to me at the Memorial?

They will not do anything to you if you partake. It is not a JW law that you cannot partake. No one but God can say if you are anointed or not even according to JW doctrine. I went last year to the Memorial. I went to the hall that my parents go to, the same one I was disfellowshipped at. I showed up with my wife and kids, because you know how they are always wanting to make a good "witness" to the unbelieving mates. I had long hair and a big beard, was wearing a black hat, and bright orange snake print jeans, The elder handed the wine directly to me and I partake looking solemnly into his eyes. To my surprise, he also handed me the bread and I ate a piece of it too. I knew the elder very well, and used to go in service with him all the time. After the meeting was over, I stayed and talked to my mom and dad and other JW's with my wife and kids with me.
Don't let the Witnesses scare you. The only power they have, is the power you give them. Partake if that's what you feel is the right thing to do. Jesus did say that we all should partake. John chapter 6

I am attending the Memorial this year (March 30th, a Tuesday) and I am talking to my ex-JW friends about going with me. I went last year and partook at my parents Kingdom Hall, the same Hall I was DF'ed at. The news of what I did spread like wild fire. I know, because I have many JW friends who are not DF'ed and they still talk to me and tell me what the JW's are saying about me. Us going back to the Memorial will make a huge impact, much greater than merely picketing outside of Halls and assemblies. They cannot ignore you if you are in the building, acting calmly, and stating your stand with respect and dignity. I know, because i have done it.
"The only thing we have to fear, is FEAR itself."
"Love never fail."
I'm on the same page with you Tim! If more of us would go, it would really make an impact!
