  Husband has joined me in being inactive.

  that's right, and it's great!

  i don't know exactly why because he hasn't turned apostate and still seems to believe jw things.

  i don't feel comfortable in asking him why he doesn't go to meetings anymore for some reason, or find out what he believes and if the things i've told him bout ttatt influenced his decision.

  Maybe he is like me and just cant go door to door preaching such preposterous things the Watchtower says.

  Happy for you.

  Jehovah's holy spirit is losing it's power, huh? Can't protect his people in modern times as he did in the old testament? Satan can thwart his purpose of the good news reaching every nation?

  Michael Jackson's kids decide no more going door-to-door

  this article made my day.

  it looks like paris jackson and her brother prince michael have told katherine they simply aren't interested in peddling jw stuff from door-to-door any more.

  i'm glad they are becoming their own people and emerging from their grandmother's control.. http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/05/paris-jackson-prince-michael-jackson-jehovas-witness/.

  Heartwarming JW Facebook Comment

  by exwhyzee in

  2. friends

  this urban legend/anecdote was on the facebook page of a jw who is a facebook friend of mine.

  it's kind of long but tell us what you think....it was all i could do to stop myself from making a snarky comment.

  a young couple very much wanted to have a family, but his wife could not conceive, so they decided to adopt a baby.

  outsmartthesystem: Loved the way you articulated your thoughts. Right on.

  Aggienostic: Good point another poster had about this being your wife's mother and you should proceed however she feels comfortable.

  I wouldn't respond too soon or in anger. I would tell her that once you all "catch your breath" after reading her letter, you will respond. Let her know that nothing she would do would ever make you decide to shun her and that you are hurt by her letter. Tell her that you will have to wait till the hurt dies down a little before responding to her letter.

  Also, your son is a man now, in college and is free to make his own decisions about who he associates with. You have taught him to love his family and he does. If she has a problem with this she should take it up with your son.
