JWs Assigned to Fetch Lost Sheep Here?
by HomebutHiding ini have been pondering the whys of jws who regularly, and not-so regularly post to the board.
the possibility then struck me that maybe they are assigned--have special dispensation--to associate here in order to retrieve any "misguided" or "lost" sheep and bring them back into their fold.
or are they, thenselves, on the edge, wanting the freedom we now have?

It was a 'kinder, gentler' way of having your eyes opened, if you know what I mean.
Notblind-I couldn't agree more. I wish some other posters here would know that when they were talking to JW's.

I totally agree Blondie...I didn't quite understand where he was coming from on that. Anyone who has ever been abused, assulted, whatever, knows the person who did was exercising some sort of power over them, regardless of if it physical, emotional, mental, financial, whatever...
Goph- Polymath--someone who knows a lot of little things in all sorts of different subject fields. For example, someone who actually knows what polymath means, is probably one. HAHAHA! No the only reason I know it is because I had professor tell me "you're quite the little polymath" and I said "what? I hate math" To which he laughed, and I said "no really, what the hell is that"...he still gave me an A in the class, but probably re-thunk it several times--hee hee! I gots me an edumacation!
Heidi- Really great to see you post here! If you need any kind of moral support I am sure you will find lots of people here willing to give it, I would be one of them!

Without much surprise, you have totally missed my points yet again...
When you simmer, maybe we can talk, but I refuse to continue in a debate with someone who over uses punction marks.

Crawdad what is your qualification to suggest that flowers children are suicidal?
You seem to dole out just as much advice as any elder I know, did you go to school for that?
I never said I support it, I am saying I can relate, do I think it was ok for them to make me cry, of course not, I am just saying you are jumping to conclusions. Is it right they have the power to make people cry no. But you know what lots of people have made me cry in my life, and I don't go ballistic on them either, but that's just me, I know how to deal with anger issues.

I think some of us on this board are abuse happy. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but sometimes people can become overly cautious.
I got pulled aside quite a few times, and left in tears everytime by elders, elders wives, etc. And the topic was always on baptism, and being told I wasn't doing enough, and that at my age I should know better, and didn't I "love Jehovah?" etc. It was a lot of pressure. Good for you Flowerpetal that you are letting your kids make their own way. I am SO thankful to my parents they gave me the same freedom. (Granted I know they aren't entirely pleased with my choice, but I think we are pretty happy and well-adjusted family as far as that goes).
Take heart flowerpetal, my parents used to want to know what was making me cry all the time too. And I didn't want to tell them because I didn't want them to be pissed by what someone said to me. I was also pretty independent and into making up my own mind, and not needing help from anyone.

in a lot of instances it comes back to bite you
This is true in most religions, I am sure plenty of us knew the preacher's sons and daughters were the worst behaved ever. It's a lot of pressure for any kid with a family member in high position, and they are held under stronger interogation lamps too. Behavior in un-spiritual families is often dismissed, while we hold children in ANY religious household to a higher standard. Doesn't seem fair to me.
As for you crawdad...what the hell is your problem?? Lay off! And how utterly crass and rude of you to suggest her children are suicidal!
