i think the music was intensely different...i really wish i remembered about my video ability on my phone for the 1st song, because the jw's performed their first new song out of the new song book.

Who is Going to Cedar Point Apostafest this Summer?

i am soooooooo excited!

this is only 100 miles from my house, and i'm going!

it will be historic!!!!!!!!!!!.

I am planning on going. My husband (never a jw) is looking forward to it too. He said they (those at the apostafests) are ALWAYS the best bunch of people. The BEST of the best.

I have over the years been to several 'fests. I've met many on this board and many that have moved on from this board. Some were never part of this board, but they know someone in real life that is. However, I've never met anyone that I ever knew as a JW. I've never met anyone that I wouldn't want to see again.

Some I have become real life friends with and stay in regular contact with. Like extended family.

Helping those out, that I helped put in, or just stop meddling?

by undertheradar in

i was wrong when i was so sure i was right before.

.

i feel a responsibility but i am confused.. also, any ideas for preparing vulnerable family members prior to pulling the rug out from under them?.

I agree with much of the above, expecially GLT's. Great post

Most people don't like to be told THEY are wrong. But if you were to tell them YOU were mistaken about what you had told them before, maybe it won't seem so harsh.

and always remember..baby steps.

I have spoken with an xJW that lives in the missing womans' area. He wrote back and said that he knew the couple. That both were both 'in'..kinda.

He also said the woman had recently received a DUI.

Sent anonymous letters to the society?

by Truthexplorer in

just wondered if many of you have sent any anonymous letter to the society expressing your view points and unhappiness with the way things are.. i am in the process of doing this, but wish to keep it personal and not show it on this forum as there is too much in the letter that might give me away.

the letter will be very sincere and honest.

it will be about 10 pages long and i will be sending copies to the governing body and to the writing department at brooklyn.

lisavegas420

Some child will pick it up and maybe seeing something about the Bible will dut........

and a tiny seed is planted. hehehe

I remember lots of stuff that didn't seem right when I was young. I just thought it was me,.......come to find out...years later. Well you know.

had second thoughts about divorcing my JW wife...

by oompa in

jw
friends

just this week after being separated a little over two months....and funny cause i just got a pm from a newbie about what it is like to leave all...including your wife or husband....anyway, i spent the day with my wife and we talked about it...it is so sad....even though we are very different in natures...i again concluded there is enough in common to be happy and grow old and avoid the very high costs to both of a divorce....except we just cant figure out how to have totally separate friends and social lives....that is kinda big and may still be the deal breaker....soooooo frustrating and infuriating..........oompa.

here was my reply to the newbie pm:.

leaving was terribly hard as my wife is a wonderful and attractive person...my 22 year old son is also a good dub...and my parents are not real old yet and he is a hardcore elder.

The time to be happy is NOW.

Choose happiness now, not what might be in the future. If it wasn't working before, and nothing's really changed...I'm just sayin'

Be happy NOW.

Planted a seed today... Update on de-program of my 16 year old son

by Aussie Oz in

well, some of you know that i have a 16 year old son who lives with his jw mother.

she has already mastered the art of guilt control on him.

i am most anxious that he not get baptized at all or at least unless he has really understood the whole truth, not just the watchtower truth.

lisavegas420

I work with a woman (Not-JW related) that told me that when her father molested her, it wasn't until she talked to a school friend about it and found out not all dads did this to thier daughers..and the friend told her own mom..did the molestion stop.

I'm only saying..tell them to tell you of any adults that do anything that they find questionable to them or any of their friends. That they can come to you with even the silliest or most embarassing questions.

Especially if another adult or someone told them NOT to tell.
