A sister emailed me and................................

by BLISSISIGNORANCE in

........................expressed the desire to meet for coffee or lunch, seeing as though we work so close to eachother.. i must say it was quite a surprise.

this sister is older and been a dub for much longer than i ever was.

she wasn't one of my close friends either, so the email had me curious while also pleasantly surprised.. i replied and we met yesterday for lunch.. she embraced me and we hugged.

Joyzabel

good job, bliss.

nice to see you posting again. Let us know if she contacts you again. Maybe she is questioning things and will want to know more.

Hugs,

Joy

Bringing Reproach Upon Jehovah

by Sunspot in

as jws we heard this over and over again.

we still see this phrase used time and time again on this board.

what, exactly does this mean to you and how do you think it is applied or should be applied?.

Are you worth more or less than the angels? Is it more or less important to make sure reproach is kept from Jehovah's name before the angels or before men? Do not the angels clearly see what men may not know?

According to JW dogma, it makes no sense that reproach should come on Jehovah's name by horrible wrongdoing getting cleaned up. According to JW dogma, it makes perfect sense that reproach is on Jehovah's name - before the angels and Satan - until it is cleaned up.

I think Jehovah can take care of herself/himself/themself, just like Santa Claus, the Ester bunny, etc. etc etc

DA'ing coming up, to speak out now or not?

by meat pie in

jw
friends

hi there, i know its up to me in the end, but just wondering, what would most of you do?

my da'ing could be tonight, should i take the opportunity (before they can no longer speak to me ) to tell a few jw's that i am being da'd for telling the truth, or not to bother.

does it matter anyway.

Joyzabel

I've heard it said that we rarely regret the things we do but the things we don't do.

I love it!

hey XQ:

and MegaDude shutup!

a personal friend of yours?

Suicide

by Rico El Vato in

my 30-year old daughter committed suicide on 11-13-2004. we had both been jw's who had left the borg.

she had been diagnosed as bipolar.

i did a search from the top of the page to see if this topic has been covered but it did not work.

Joyzabel

Rico,

I'm sorry for your family's loss.

I'm glad you are no longer in a high control group.

Welcome to the forum and hope you can find some fellow understanding on what you are going through. The healing/grieving process takes time. Give yourself lots of time.

Hugs,

Joy
