RESPONSE: Letting Go of the Need to Have Approval - MUST READ!
by gmason972 inthanks for the responses everybody!...nice to know i'm not alone in this.
the one thing that the watchtower society has taught me is to never place your value and worth in the hands of other people!....
once you look deep down inside yourself and let go of the need to have approval from others...you will find out things about you; you didn't know before.

Tea
by Hortensia ini was raised on lipton tea.
my mother saw tea as the solution for everything.
no matter what the problem, she'd suggest a cup of tea.

WTS overboard w/suggested presentation
by doinmypart inthe nov 2013 km contains an article that is ridiculous in its level of minutae.. they focus on the word "because".
they tell jws to use the word "because" when explaining why they're at the homeowner's door.
writing department, you wrote an article on the use of the word "because"?

Using the word because ...is a way to stall & avoid.
Don't you remember when you were a little kid & your mom
asked why you were ...spitting, picking your nose, hitting your sister,

Do You Often See JWs Out In The Ministry?
by minimus ini used to always see them preaching.
now, it seems as though they rarely are around.
the only witnesses i see, every once in a while, are the hispanic ones..

I find the whole thing amazing ...until about 10-12 years ago the
neighborhoods were in siege by their nuisance calling! On any
morning a couple of carloads of eager jdubs would fling open those
4 doors ....jump out and get to work, house about or 1 group take
1 side and 2nd group take the other ...........now.....................

...hello ... hello anybody there? No!

Really I have not seen any witnesses working my neighborhood,
and even driving down any street .... no witnesses there!

We have to ask where are they, and more importantly, what the heck
do they have to talk about, except maybe apologise for all the lies they
told before 'cause now they have new lite!!

Home schooled witness kids
by stillin insorry if i'm stepping on any toes here, but i haven't seen anything positive about home-schooling...at all.
the notion is that parents are taking advantage of the formative years to inculcate more worthwhile values while protecting their kids from worldly influences.
they end up with lazy, socially inept, illiterate duds who haven't a clue.

time to reboot jwn??? attn. tech49, formerlongtime elder, others.
by nowwhat? infirst of all let me start by saying who am i to judge, but... i understand jwn has completely evolved over the years, but what i would like to see a forum that has current members and former jw's that still live by bible principles and respect the bible, but are not afraid to call out the watchtower on their practices and revised history.
i think quality posters as mentioned above, after venting their frustrations and experiences realize this website is taken over by athiests.
and punk kids-[ see similar post.

Christopher Hitchens was atheist. We would have been honoured
to have that man, with that mind, with that critical thinking,
with that drive, with that devotion ... on JWN!

The world is the poorer without him,

So who is to say, who should be "DF'd" from here?
Who is to say, that none of you,.. are not another Hitchens?

this site sucks! its just a buncha athiest on soap boxes.
by crossquestions6995 inthis site is not a healthy forum for discussion or healing.
its an arena for jaded athiests to bash anything christian or god related.
yes, i know the jw's lied to us about god and the truth.

Hi Cross ... welcome here first of all!
I like your style, you took some flack and stayed with us!
>
Takes a strong person to do that ...especially a Newbie! lol
>
I was a born again for a few weeks, after leaving WT, but then
things kept coming to the fore ... right now I do not believe in the
bible as being the word of god ...so you can see where I am at.
>
As far as I am concerned, I was critical of all religions & people in
general, while prancing around as a JW ...so I have had ENOUGH of that!
>
I hope you stay and share you ideas & thoughts ...we might all learn something!

Also should we be praying through the gov body, as christ
is not our mediator.

Have you grown detached from caring about JW family and old friends?
by tootired2care inafter being out of the borg for a year and a half, weve dealt with a lot of nonsense from local elders stopping by unannounced, well-meaning do-gooders trying to encourage us.
somehow weve managed to get through this without getting dfd/dad.
for me the worst part of it all has been that much of my family has shunned me, and stopped talking to me, as soon as they heard through the grapevine that i wasnt going to meetings.

Peggy ...glad you came on, is this your only sister?

Tough call, if that was my sister ..I would have to think twice too,
about getting her really upset!
Maybe just stay close & in touch with family,
be prepared to run up there.
best wishes
