  Mom's completely mental...

  2. friends

  never having been a jw...i really wish i could understand this better.

  shortly after my dad died, mom starts her "bible study" with the nice ladies from the hall.

  fastforward a couple of years...she's now a baptised jw...and a totally different person.

  JW lingo...ad nauseum

  by KistByQpid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok...i have to admit this board has been unbelievably helpful in helping me figure out my jw mom!

  i've especially got a kick out of reading the many posts about their "language.

  " well, today i'm trying to have a "normal" conversation with my mom...i've decided their is no such thing as "normal" when talking to a zealous jw.

  my jw mom and her oddball "brothers and sisters" never cease to amaze me.

  i own a christian bookstore that carries curriculum for homeschoolers.

  today i'm literally minding my own business, when "sister-so-in-so" comes in.

  Indifferent OR Ignorant???

  by KistByQpid in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  something has always puzzled me about the jw's.

  one word...history.

  on one hand they can (and do) cite every infraction/mistake/screw up of every other denomination since the beginning of time but refuse to look at their own.

  2. current

  first my standard "disclaimer" i'm not a jw, never been a jw...just trying to understand my jw mom.

  ok...now i'd like to share with you guys that i've been listening to my mom ranting about the catholics for months now.

  she doesn't miss any opportunity (no matter how small or inappropriate) to "witness" to me.

  Hypocricy of paid holidays...

  by KistByQpid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  other than my mom, the only other jw i've ever had any real life experience with was a co-worker.

  actually, i was her supervisor and there is one thing that never made sense to me.

  she would aggressively attempted to "witness" to everyone (my supervisor had to eventually tell her to cool it) well, everyone pretty much respected her beliefs and knew better than to invite her to any birthday celebrations, etc.

  Sheep and Goats

  by KistByQpid in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am familiar with the parable, as found in matthew.

  however, i don't understand the jw take on this one.

  jw's like to think of themselves as "sheep" and perhaps someone slamming the door in thier face a "goat.

  Churches...would a JW go

  by KistByQpid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  under what (if any) circumstances would a jw go to a church?

  is it the building itself or is it church services they have an aversion to?

  can they go under circumstances that are not neccessarily considered "worship"?

  How do you reply to the constant...

  by KistByQpid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...negativity?

  you know, your having a pretty good day, you meet up with a jw whose trying to "witness" to you, by the usual opening rant of how horrible the "world" is...etc?

  i resent being treated like i am too stupid to realize this is a way in which to introduce the wt agenda.
