It's my birthday today
by Bruja-del-Sol in... but most of my new (post jw) friends either don't know my birth date (if people don't specifically ask i won't tell them), or they are 2500 kilometers away in the netherlands... so all that's left to celebrate with me are my hubby, the two doggies, cat and my two rabbits... mixed feelings, i miss my friends and family around and haven't found friends in spain yet.
luckily our daughter will visit us the end of the month... and yesterday we've found a new rental house and we're moving into it next month already!
i'm thrilled and really looking forward to it, then we will finally be able to let all the rest of our belongings come to spain (2/3 of our stuff is stored in the netherlands).. so with this in mind, i'll just say 'happy birthday to me' and will enjoy my third birthday in espana .

BEING SHUNNED
by JOHNROSS93 inafter almost 40 years of being shunned by close family members, it never gets easier.
my own mother is under the spell of the "organization" and won't even write to me.
for a long time i sent her things - cards, news articles of interest, jokes, etc - i finally gave up.

I've been out 7 yrs. now. My mother's gone. My oldest daughter is still in. Evidently her nonJW husband doesn't want to rock the boat by bringing my grandkids over. So I have to live with it. It hurts less every year. I have since enjoyed my wife's nieces & nephews. My mother-in-law's house just swarms with kids on every holiday. I am the oldest of 9. I haven't seen many of them or my father in years. All live within 60 miles of me. And most are not JW's. What is family? Family has nothing to do with blood. Seek out those who love you. They're your family.

I like the similarities to the Scribes & Pharisees. Jesus called them out on hypocrisy. AMATEURS !!! These guys make them look like choir boys. I do wish there was a burning hell for monsters like these guys. You might want to cut them some slack believing they were sincere. So was Hitler.

If You Could Tell A Jehovah's Witness One Thing~~~What Would It Be?
by minimus ini really would just like to ask them if they believe everything they hear on the platform or read in a magazine.
they seriously look like cultists.
it is embarrassing..

If you notice NY and Britain have the same overcast, rainy, snowy & generally unpleasant weather. Ship us all to Florida & we'll be pleasant too.

Could There Be Another Mass Exodus From This Cult?
by mrquik init's happened before.
how much crap can any rational human being take before they just snap & walk away disgusted?.

I spent 50 yrs. in this cult. I've watched loved ones & friends die waiting in earnest for Armageddon. My generation is the last that will obey blindly. Losing their only cash cow has to have a serious impact eventually. Fortunately for the next generation, they have access to TTAT. At some point, all this has to reach critical mass. I only hope I'm still here to celebrate that day.

My Elderette is attempting to change the subject again
by Faithful Witness inwe were in the middle of discussing their use of god's personal name, and miss k was not able to find one place in the bible, where jesus actually said the name out loud (that wasn't a quote from the ot).
we had started out by talking about jesus being "the way, the truth and the life.
" then she stated that one of the purposes of jesus' coming to earth, was "to make god's name known.

I always ask the following in my discussions with Witnesses. " As you're willing to sacrifice not only your life but the lives of your children in the name of this religion, what concrete proof do you have that this is the one true religion, led by Christ & approved by God himself?" Expect everything but concrete proof.

Punk; It would be nice to see a "great crowd" head for the door. You're right though; there will always be die hards.

I remember that one. Sure glad I'll never grow old. I wonder who that old guy is that stares back at me in the mirror? Problem of taking care of my aging Witness mother? No problem at all; she died waiting for the "end".
