  Help - shunning stories needed

  by Mr Rocky in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  my letter to the editor to the davenport times just came out on june 30, 2005. the spokane spokesman review is interested in doing a story about shunning as a result of reading my letter.

  the religion reporter wants to start working on it wednesday.

  does anybody want to tell their story of odd things they have been shunned for by jw's.

  My husband and I were df'd in Feb 2003 for standing up for child abuse. My family are all JWs. My mom was recently widowed and I have been helping her with the transition/bills/band accounts. My sister has not talked with me since our brother's wedding May of 2003. The last time my sister was at our mom's house she questioned our mom on why she is still talking with me. Mom explains "family business" and I'm the closest child. My daughter threatens to take our mom to the elders and storms out of our mom's house saying, "I'll see you in the resurrection." She has not talked with our mom since.

  Please check out my letter to my sister and tell me what you think.

  dear *****.

  i know jehovah's witnesses view people of the world as bad because satan is the ruler of the world and we are all controlled by him.

  you preach that we will all soon die at the hands of jehovah at armageddon.

  UN Question

  by kilroy2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i was thinking about the society being involved in the un, and then thought that they preached that the un was going to destroy all religion [nondubber] soon.

  so when they got involved in the un do you think it was because they know that they are full of shit?

  or do they justify their bull shit by some nonsensical reasoning?

  welcome maj039.

  Yes, little articles in "Watchng The World" in the back of the Afake Awake since 1991 showed how they complied with their obligation to support the UN.

  Even though the WT was exposed about their NGO affiliation in 2001 it seems that the WT is back to publishing small articles of support again. Makes it look like the WT is in bed with the Wild Beast again!

  Chemo begins today

  by outnfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, i've been sitting at the computer all night long, not really panicked, but definitely disturbed at the thought of what the months to come will entail.. the port-a-cath was "installed" (surgically) on monday, and that was tough.

  somehow the lumpectomy last month and even finding out that there was lymph node involvement was okay.

  scary, but okay.

  ((((((Brenda)))))))

  hoping you come back from chemo to see all these wonderful comments for you.

  I agree, the bad days will be 2 - 3 days afterwards. A good mental attitude is worth a lot. You are such a strong lady. Keep the rainbow in front of you.

  I couldn't help but think when you said: "So why do I feel so utterly alone depsite the love and prayers and actions of so many?" that you are facing what every human has to face......our own eventuality............it comes down to being at peace with oneself.

  Know you are loved.

  Joy

  ps. love your new avitar pic. Sedona........beautiful.
