High Profile Case: Seeking Reinstatement
by headisspinning inbut our situation is very difficult and quite high profile.... i was raised as a jw and my mother was very strict and abusive.
i got baptized at age 14.. my mother actually called on my (present) husband's mom in service.
she was on the initial call resulting in his mom coming in the truth and him being raised in it from about age 8 or 9.. despite a very abusive step-father, he followed his mom's lead and came into the truth.

Welcome!
It is nice to talk to a group of people who get "it". No other group of people in the world know when reading your post know how real it is. We also can see into the future for you as well, knowing the years and years of shunning ahead for you, as well as the years of being the ones who are gossiped about in your cong.
I asked my mother the other day, "When you are out in field service and you come across a householder who loves her religion. Infact is overjoyed! She attends regulary, reads daily, has a personal relationship with God. Would you try to get her to become a Jehovahs Witness?" And so I ask you if you would make a new disciple, even though you would have to destroy someones faith to do so?
Yes? Then I implore you to go a little beyond your own comfort zone, expand your thinking, your love for God will only grow. There are alot of truths out there that might rock your world. Thruths are real they do not vanish and float away, however some of my former truths were like a childhood belief in Santa Clause.....and one day someone says, "Santa is not Real he is imaginary".....the gut reaction is to say "No he is real!!!" But it is too late the question is there, the bubble has been popped. We look it up, we look for proofs, and then we move on, we grow. Pryimdology, False Prophecy, 607, Dates (1914 1925,1975), the Cross, the Blood doctrine (this was my start...do some searching on this it will blow your mind) and the list goes on and on.
Make your truth real, read Crisis of Conscenience, read the bests of threads on this board, freeminds.org is a great start, and so is jwfacts. do the work...it will be hard. Pearsonal Stories is how I started to heal. And I didnt want to be an apostate either!
Congrats on the baby, I think you are in the best place for rebuilding, and I am excited for the 3 of you, and your husbands other kids. Healthy emotional balanced parents make so much better lives for their children.
Again Welcome, you have friends here.

This Riddle reminds me of the WTBTS
by 3dogs1husband ini dont know how well this riddle will work in written form, this reminds me so much of the round and round reasoning jw (my mom) uses daily.. three men go skiing, and forgot to book their hotel rooms.
they find a hotel with only one room left, and the three agree to take it and share.
the bell hop kept 2 dollars.

He just told me I'll probably parish anyways.....that would be tragic if Jesus hadnt already died for my sins. WOW SOOO MUCH JUDGMENT!!!!

Golden Age Goodies
by Leolaia inrecently i had the pleasure to examine a stash of 1920s and 1930s golden age magazines, among the rarest of watchtower publications.
i thought it would be a fun idea to have a thread in which i share with you some of the amazing, ridiculous, hilarious things contained therein.
hence, this is the first post of a series of excerpts, scans, etc.

I speak from my heart. I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. (long before the internet and discovering this website) What lead me away from Jehovah's Orginization? No one is sure of their salvation. Every long lifer I ever knew felt not good enough for Jehovah, and worried everyday if they will make it. When my husbands 80 year old grandpa, who worked at bethal, wbbr, sold his house for 75, on his death bed is unsure if he did enough for Jehovah.....is thankful he will die in this system because then he will at least be brought back. And when my brother who struggles with reading and public speaking, decides the only sure way to the new system is the "underground railway" in a pine boxcar. My very very diligent very good JW mother, who has lived her whole life for Jehovah, does not think she is going to make it most days...unless she can do more.
I lived this life I know my reality.... I was preparred to die at arrmagedon. I never thought I could do enough to make it......although I kept trying and trying to live up to the standards. I UNLIKE YOU never ever ever went to webstites like this...I didnt even know they existed.
So needless to say when I read your reply:
Let me put it this way: Anyone that listens to you will die. There is no one that refuses to listen to us that will be saved. Period. By our paying constant attention to ourselves and to what we teach, and living our lives in accord with these things, Jehovah's Witnesses have faith thatwe will save not just ourselvesbut those who listen to us. (1 Timothy 4:16)
I say to you: YOU ONLY HOPE TO SAVE YOURSELF!

This both excites me and breaks my heart
by GrandmaJones ini have two living siblings, an older brother, and a younger sister.
my brother and his wife have had to move many times due to his job because of promotions, and new opportunities.
everytime they moved, it would be weeks before they were settled enough to begin attending meetings again.
