  Intro and Thoughts

  by ThinkerBelle in

  2. friends

  i've been lurking on the board for almost a year now and i think i'm ready to come out of hiding (although, i'm so nervous as i type this).

  i'm not ready to share everything about my story, but the basics are that i'm a born-in, elder's kid, baptized as a teenager because i was tired of hearing people ask me "all your friends are baptized, when are you going to get baptized?

  ", married an unbeliever (was df, but came back shortly after) and we have two kids.

  Hello Tink, it`s so nice to meet you. It sounds like your in a good place to fade out, I mean that you have family on the outside to talk to. Sorry about your parents that's tough. Good that your kids are young so their not in a place where their being pushed into baptism. Look forward to getting to know you. SABIN

  as some of you might have read last week, my mother had extremely low hemoglobin and without it, she would have died.

  i have somehow managed to bring her to reason and accept the transfusion.

  it saved her life.

  Largest amount of refugees since WW2 in Europe

  so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.

  so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

  ask her what time the Spanish Inquisition is arriving. Seriously how many more people are there today on the earth & if the internet had been around say a 100 years ago do you think it would have read any different.

  I was unkind & I am deeply sorry

  2. beliefs

  early this morning, i was stopped at a service station dealing with a mechanical issue with my motorcycle.

  i was approached by 2 young men who pro-offered some of your reading material.

  i deeply regret that i was very unkind; in actual fact, i was quite mean in my response to them.

  What has the Watchtower reading material done to YOU?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the reason i ask is because i realise i couldn't go on reading watchtower material.

  i have discovered it did something to my mind no other literature has done to me before.

  it had turned me in to a person without a heart, or soul, and made me in humane and distant from other humans who didn't share the w.t world view.. i now feel ashamed of my childish behaviour, and i have learnt :-.

  I don't read it, nearly all of my books were boxed up & put in the attic the spares were thrown out, i cant stand the new bible (silver sword). I did like the animal/cultural/historical stuff though. Everything to me now is a contradiction & an insult to Jesus & what he represents. We went out to get a dvd & I saw the JW.Org sign it actually made me feel nausea. The W.T. what a joke, they write the article, they ask the question & they tell you what to answer.

  Crazyguy is going batshit crazy a Rant

  by Crazyguy in

  1. social
  2. family

  yesterday some jw's came over to my house and were even being nice to me, most of the time if they do come by an elder or ms may say something but the others will not, its even hard for them to say just hello (how pathetic).

  ( they also do this behind my back as if i don't know).

  i now realize by not being their i've handed my kids right over to them!.

  Crazy Guy. You need to calm down & work out what is really bothering you. Is it that your kids go to the meetings, are responding well to the JW teachings, your own guilty conscience in that you feel your not playing such a big part in your kids life or that your son called this man dad. Then you can go forward from there. On the matter of your son calling some one else dad, Millie is right. That is over stepping the line & as I said before on your other post do something about it even if it pisses them off, speak up. You don't have to do it in anger but you do need to get jealous for your family for your kid`s. If any of them question this I would have bells ringing in my ears, why do you want my kids calling you dad, you stop encouraging it or I`ll call the branch office. Don't get angry with your kid`s though. & no if you want a straight answer I wouldn't be going all apostate on them, remember once you say something it cant be unsaid. If they are happy then let them be. My hubby told me that if the kid`s were happy to study than it`s fine if however they say they don't want to at any time they weren't to be forced. It`s called being reasonable. If you try to pull them away they will go more in it`s what kid`s do, that`s why people tell you to just love them. If you have to find the right words when expressing what you personally believe do so in a way that doesn't run your wives beliefs down, that's equal to putting your kids down. tread carefully, you don't want them to grow up with memories of their farther being an arsehole. Collecting info on the borg & gently plant the seeds always the best option instead of saying out right you don't believe in shunning you can say I don't like the way in which they shun people. He will ask you to explain, this is your moment, use him as an example how you couldn't turn your back on him when he needed you most, Jesus didn't treat others this way etc. Instead of fighting the borg use the tactics they taught you with your family. Find the common ground. You know your children better than anyone else that's why its so hard for people to give personal advice there are some things as a parent that only you can work out, its you that ultimately will pay the price or get the benefits. On your remarks about not giving support on the forum. What do you want us to do, lick your arse . I think from what ive read that many here are doing their best to support you if that isn't enough then tell us where we can help further, we all have our problems to bare. Many on here are struggling also, I think we need to stick together as best we can. I`m sorry if any of what ive written has caused offense that wasn't my intent. SABIN

  JustHuma, Witness my Fury. Is so right. that is exactly what happens. You are only as good as your last service report. However, only you know in your heart what you need to do & what ever that is then that's o.k. You can still talk on here. Tell us all how it`s going. You may get lucky & wind up in a golden cong, I`ve been in one of those it was great. If not then your gonna struggle with all the hypocrisy & lies. Just my opinion. No judgment.
