I messed up again... Opened my mouth... oh well, we'll see where the cards end

so i hadn't talked to my friends on facebook for a while because i had been too busy on my page (now two pages) and my job, and my girlfriend.

so i go on my fb account yesterday and i start talking to a "bible study" i had had while in mexico... after learning ttatt, i have dreamed of ways to tell him and his family to stay away from jw's, but i hadn't had the courage to do so because of a) wanting to get my family awakened first, and b) noticing the horribly bad reaction of the very few people i have actually talked to (three persons).... but anyways, i felt the need to tell him, the "bible study"... he is around 15. his mom was inactive for many years until we found her in "service" and then we started her on a study and she came back... at the time, i thought i was doing a correct thing, if i had known ttatt, no way in hell i would have done that.

now it hurts my conscience, although to my credit, i had no idea of ttatt.. so his mom, him, his brother and sister are all in some way or another associating with jw's.. i wasn't intending to talk to him about ttatt, it just happened.... yesterday we started a conversation (a is him, b is me):.

I hope this doesn't come back to bite you in the butt, however you did the noble thing.

Do You Think Many Engaged JW Couples Fooled Around B4 Marriage?

by minimus in

when i was an elder, i had a few couples approach me to confess that they either played around or went all the way.. i suspect there were many more that did not admit to it, though..

whathappened

Everyone I know confesses that they at the very least did heavy petting.

You do not owe them anything. Tell them not to concern themselves with you anylonger and close the door or hang up, whichever the case may be.

How I recently handled JWs at my door

by Christian guy in

the jws stopped by my house a couple weeks ago on a saturday morning.

i knew that with others most likely waiting for them out in the car they probably did not then have much time to engage in any serious conversation.

so i let them talk while i feigned interest in what they had to say.

whathappened

Wow! What a counter witness you made. Great points here.

Watchtower admonitions against unofficial pro-JW websites

by Londo111 in

a friend of mine asked, "do you recall a watchtower or km that said the jw's are not suppose to read, or post information in defense of the watchtower on their own personal website or anyone elses website?".

of course, there is the july 15, 2011 watchtower: what is involved in avoiding false teachers?

we do not receive them into our homes or greet them.

They just want you tredging door to door, none of this easy count your time stuff!

after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.

thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.

i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.

Eventhough I think it is a huge mistake to go back to a cultish lifestyle, I wish SBF the best and will certainly look forward to the day he will surely return.
