HI!
NLW's wife
today was my grandmother's funeral.
she had a hard life (which i will not divulge here) and the circumstances of her death weren't much better.
she was not a jw but because she was my mother's mother she got a jw eulogy (yeah the jw infomercial).
I'm so sorry.

due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?
remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.
what about the thousands that don't get caught?
I think that I know of about 10 people. It's so very sad. They are all messed up and still trying to serve Jehovah. And I don't think that they have a clue about why they are so unhappy.

as i said before when i reached my thirties i feft i had to do something with my life.
so what was my great idea?
well of course i felt i needed to be a elder.
I am so glad that you are happier now!
i'm sure this question has been asked before .
i've come a long way in my thinking.
a very long way!
NEVER EVER IN A MILLION YEARS!! I believed it so fully. There was never a doubt in my mind. Like keyser soze said, once it happened it happened fast.
i know that this is not a new topic, or that important really.
however, it's now been a full year since we last attended any meetings or went out in fs.
just felt good today and jwn has been a great source of encouragement over the year.
Good for you!!
back years ago when we were getting ready to split, i suggested that two or three bros and their families went to the other hall, otherwise 75% of our new body would be belong to the same family.
my idea was shot down.
so, any time we needed a show of hands, all six of those men (father, two sons, two son in laws, a brother to one son in law) always voted the same way.
Yeah, the one i grew up in. Most everyone was related to two families.Thank goodness I wasn't. Rahahah

i have a mother in law that doesn't like me because i'm not an elder and i don't study enough.... i think worldly people have bigger problems in their marriage!
did you ever just want a "normal" family?
i don't have to celebrate christmas, but i just want people that care about and accept me for who i am!
I thought I had one. lol. Come to find out I don't.
NLW's wife
my story starts off the same way a lot of yours did, i was born into the jw cult in 1986. my mother got kicked out of her house for studying with her older sister when she was 15. my dad was also born into the jw world.
my mom and dad got divorced when i was 5 (my mother had scriptual grounds) so she raised my younger sister, brother and i mostly by herself.
because of her beliefs she adamantly did not want us having any worldly influences, so she chose to home school all of us.
Welcome!!
