Do you feel sorry for the family members who shun you?

as each instance of shunning happens to me, it seems even more ridiculous than the last.. this weekend i took our kids to the park - wife opted out, understandably - and we let our daughter call my parents to inform them we'd be there.

this was my first time in the presence of my parents since our df announcement two weeks ago.. my mom and dad were 10-20 feet away much of the time and yet they never said a greeting or.. well anything.

at one point my daughter, who is aware of the shunning, mistakenly thought my mom called my name and shouted excitedly, "mawmaw, were you talking to daddy??

I raised my Kids so they Are Born In...

Never thought I'd become an Actual Sith Lord in My Family and Friends eyes!

Like what you are going thru...... After yrs of trying to make peace with everyone and everything... Enough was Enough!

I became a Weak Little Man cowering all the time.. walking on eggshells on everything I said and Did! after awhile I said I know what COULD happen... but this is NO WAY for Me to live.

Remember Dan don't let anyone tell you what to do Us -Them.... You NEED to do what you choose.

Every family is different. Advice is one thing... But YOU NEED TO DO THIS. Haven't you lived with this kinda life long enough....

Dan Is The Man!

Did born-in's have the capacity to "test their faith"?

by sabastious in

2 corinthians 13: 5a - 5 examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.. this verse just comes at me like a locomotive.. to examine something is to truly use my mental capacities and to look at something objectively.. how do i accomplish this, even now?.

i was raised in an organization that controlled my information and used fear of rejection as well as my need for approval to "inculcate" the "truth" into me.. by that right, i (and all born-ins) do not have the ability to examine our faith (as a jw).. there will always be an artificial pull either for or against the society (whether we are aware of it or not).. free will has been comprimised; therefore our "faith to our creator" has been tainted and cannot be judged as worthy or unworthy.. of course many of us have regained our ability to discern and look at things objectively.. but i believe that we will never be able to truly look at the watchtower organization without a slant.. not to say the conclusions we come to regards to the organization are not valid (because they are and have been validated).

my point is that the organization has no right to judge and ostracize any born-in for leaving and even for speaking out.. they broke us, and now they are demonizing us for the things we did in that broken state.

"Do born-in's have the capacity to "test their faith"? I have to think that they CAN.

Someone from Work asked me to buy Cigerettes for them..... and I almost did!!!

Thats what I remember from Born-in's having their Faith Tested!

Very Well Programed that's for sure!

did jesus really succeed where adam failed?

by booby in

why did jesus christ come to the earth?

the rebellion in the garden of eden brought a death sentence upon adam and eve and all their offspring, but god lovingly supplied hope.

he sent his son to the earth to provide what the bible calls a ransom.

Jesus reminds me of a Politician..... Promising everything and Giving Nothing.

But alway asking please be Patient Change doesn't happen overnight or 2000 yrs or..... Longer.

4 MORE YEARS 4 MORE YEARS

I have no way of contacting my Kids who Shun me. No phone #s, E-mail Address's and I don't know where they Live anymore. It's made my Heart Very Cold. And every Year that goes by my Heart Dies just a little more.

I have recovered from most Damage caused by JW's...... Started my Life again. Started a Family Again...

But the Heart is something that can take Time to Heal. Even where I am now ...... sad to say I guard my heart and very rarely open it to Trust.

I know my Wife would NEVER treat me the way Jehovah's Perfect Marriage Arrangement treated me. But I had the Absolute Truth and my Flesh and Blood..... have SHUNNED Admirably.

Do I feel Sorry for them.......... as Years Pass........ No More! I think My Heart Has Frozen Completely to them.

Rolling Stones icon Keith Richards...

by Gregor in

has written his autobio, "life".

i bought it a couple of days ago and so far it is a good read.

hard to believe he's lived this long....

Darth plaugeis

Imagine if Intervention did a show on him.... the end would have the Councilors going....

"You know something....this won't work if you keep saying........" I've heard if I don't stop I'll be Dead Man"... because Keith..... you will... you know you're right Keith. You are the Exception to the Rule... You quit in 6 months you'll be Dead. So I think you should continue the way you have lived. Stevie Ray Vaughn was a Lesson for us."
