The wife and I absolutely love him.

No grand baby is better then the next but he is the first baby from our only daughter. (We have 3 boys one girl)

Thanks for the comments

We wish he lived a bit closer but his Dad and Mom have a wonderful thing going in Spokane and we can travel to see him and the other grand son (he also lives in Spokane) whenever we can find the time. Our 21 year old son works for Alaska Airlines and as his parents we can fly (FREE !) on stand by.

Most-Ignored Scriptures by JWs

by Mad Sweeney in

the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.

they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.

" the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.

My awakening and realization that I have been told a lie

hi all, new posting, but i've been lurking for a while.

i thought it was time to "come out" as it were and voice my story.... i was born into the jw cult surrounded by all of my jw family.

grandfather was an elder for almost 40 years till he passed, both of my uncles are currently now elders and have been for the last 15 years.

You will find the living is fantastically better then living a lie.

I was born in also and didn't realize how big the lie was until many years later.

Stay strong and stay out

In my immediate family which includes

my parents and my 7 siblings (4 girls 3 boys) there is one boy and both parents active baptized Dubs.

My oldest sister was 2 years old when my parents were sucked into the cult.

Us children in order girl, girl, boy (me), girl, boy, boy, girl. My brother down from me is the one that is still delusional. Something that is interesting is my youngest brother had actually spent several years in the belly of the beast in Bethel NY. I have no idea what he did there ? I do know he is now in southern California and no longer a Dub.
