Poor thing, her bubble will burst when she's sitting all alone waiting for these so called bro/sis to help her. That's when you step in and look after her, not saying a word.
Actions speak louder than words.

i saw a story about the following video on the news last night and thought it was cute.
i then showed the video to my daughter and she smiled.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enpfde5rgmw.
here's the tv story: http://news.yahoo.com/video/world-15749633/sesame-street-teaches-self-esteem-22512445#video=22520085.
well, it's the big day.
time to go over the checklist..... .
shoes shined.
Wow what an awesome moment for you & Mrs Tim :)
So sad how your family and others you care about drop you like a hot potato that's full of poison. Well that's the JW way & another reason to leave this cult and join the human race.

okay, if you haven't figured me out yet, read my past forum posts.. so the 2 elders wanted to meet up with me for the last time today to talk to me, but i told them that i want to talk on the phone and not in person as i can speak more freely and have less inhibitions.. they found out that i had committed acts of homosexuality with a few people and they still want to keep me in the congregation somehow.. i, myself, don't feel repentant over what i did and don't really regret much.
if i came across an opportunity to actually be in a relationship with someone and it were to appeal to me, i could potentially take that opportunity.. so now, i need to know what to tell them when they call me in an hour from now.
i want to be able to let them know that i don't mind being disfellowshipped and that i'm not repentant.
Congratulations bottleofwater!!!!!!

Hi bottleofwater, they have NO power over you, these people are just part of a strange cult group and in their cult brain they think they have authority from a god to judge people.
You don't owe them ANYTHING, tell them whatever you want or don't even talk to them, up to you, you are in control here.
They only have power over those who give them that power, namely your family & other JWs who believe they speak for their watchtower god.
If you want out of this cult, go for it! Any of these ways will work:
In other words, just move on, they have no authority over you and never will.
Enjoy your freedom :)

hi all.. my story.
it's been a while coming.. i have been lurking around here for 10 months or so.. reading just about everyday.
thank steve jobs for the iphone.. i haven't worked out how to post from the iphone.
Welcome FadeToGrey
Great to see another Aussie here, I'm from Melbourne.
Your story sounds very familiar, the day I found out this cult was all BS my depression disappeared over night. The pressure & guilt they put on us is just unbearable!
Great to be free, look after yourself and your lovely wife mate.
Look forward to hearing more from you.

my bf is one of jw mainly to please his parents, since he doesn't believe half the stuff they preach.
now i'v been going to the meetings for over 2 years partly because is pretty much the only way i'd get his parents approval.
i am in the process of studying the bible to become baptized.
Whatever you do, make sure you NEVER get baptized into this cult!!! We can't stress that enough.
This so called religion is a dangerous cult! They are all ready to kill their children (or themselves) if they need a blood transfusion, sacrificed to their 'so called loving god'
The shunning practice is so unloving it would make Jesus cry (if he was/is real)
They practice mind control on the members without them knowing it.
You need to help your boyfriend see the crap and then you both should run like there is no tomorrow, away from this group!
I wasted over 30 years being completely brainwashed to believe their version of 'life' & 'the truth'
RUN RUN RUN RUN AWAY FROM JWs!!!!
Oh by the way: Welcome to our little forum :)

i mean what is so fun or interesting about facebook?
i am very new to it, i feel like i must be missing something.
it seems boring.
Serenitynow I can't help you because I think the same about it: Boring & a pure waste of time.
If I want to contact my friends or share some photos I email them directly.
Maybe because I have passed the 'bloom of youth' it will never make sense to me

Welcome 99
Sounds like you had a pretty crappy JW life ... (just like the rest of us, some better some worse)
You'll find us a friendly bunch, helping where we can, answering questions the JWs wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.
Do a search for older posts with questions you have, some awesome older posts here going baaaaaack years.

Oh ... hahaha :)
No worries
