  Letter From Whitney's Mother

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just saw this on google news.

  link to letter here.. .

  dear family, i want to tell you that although this has been the worst of my lifes tribulations, that i am still standing.. the obvious reason is that jehovah is the faithful keeper of promises holding to his word that never, would his great love allow his precious children to be tested beyond what we could bear.

  My friend just called me and because I live in Mexico where ALOT of mafia are etc. He said for me to call out Jehovah's name and he will protect me. I asked him did Jehovah just protect Whitney? His response? Maybe she didn't call on him.

  over 40 yrs baptized, service, builds, talks and talks and talks that i put countless hours of prep into, elder, meetings, assemblies,----you all know.

  but through it all i never bought the whole truth idea 100%.

  no matter what it was, meeting, service, assemblies, i just couldn't wait for it to end.

  Not me. I was 100% in. I even used to witness here under the name of Bane. Then IssacAustin sent me in PDF form Crisis of Conscience. That is what did it. I was booted from here as Bane. Couldn't get back on. Then came to my senses after the book etc. Then I ordered the book and it's sequel. But I was 100% in and believed it all. I researched like crazy. Read every WT.

  more doctors honor religious objections to blood transfusions.

  october 09, 2012|by manya a. brachear, chicago tribune reporter.

  as a jehovah's witness, tracy pickett always has enjoyed knocking on doors and introducing strangers to the tenets of her faith.

  I hear ya! My father died and left me a few grand. I ALMOST pioneered it all away and thought....what if the system is 20 years out? Then I sunk all of it into a restaurant that I own and run. It is so fullfilling. If I had agreed to the WT mandate I would be homeless.

  I know VERY few apostates who are mentally diseased. If the org can get away and GENERALIZE words about us, then I do not feel at all bad in the slightest about generalizing that the majority are window washers.

  My father was an architect. We went up to Bethel and he had all kinds of ideas for KH designs....Bethel laughed in his face and didn't accept his application.

  it is eight months since i went to a meeting in a kingdom hall.

  in that time i've met one or two witnesses, including elders, as i've been out and about in this small town.

  some have been pleased to see me, some have avoided me.

  Did you ever shun people when you were a dub? How did it feel?

  by oldlightnewshite in

  1. watchtower

  okay, i don't know lots of people that were df'd, but of all the times i've encountered df people when i was a dub, they actually blanked me!

  it was always something that i had fixed in my mind that the jws had dead wrong, even when i was an uber dub.

  i remember several times when i used to arrive late at meetings, and i'd make a point of getting eye contact with the poor dub at the back sitting on the naughty step.

  Eric Beck in Atlanta was DFed once. Dad and I used to go and pat his back as we were walking by. His mother said years later that that action from us always made his day. He is dead now though.
