  Recent Letter to Witness Friends and Family

  by sabastious in

  2. beliefs

  haven't sent this yet: might not, but i think it would help people here:.

  to all my family members and friends of the jehovahs witnesses.

  for the past year and a half i have been deeply immersing myself in the community which you refer to as the apostates: the ex jehovahs witness community.

  I'm at a loss here

  my little 23 year old brother and his wife have been living with my wife and i, and our infant, for a few months now.

  it has been a good bonding experience for all of us, at least it was on my end.. my little brother is in a band.

  they travel all around the surrounding areas and play a mix between punk and 60s surf rock.

  if you're still in for the sake of others, how's it going?

  what specific plan are you working on to get your loved ones out so you can leave, too?

  how is that plan progressing?

  Is it normal to quote without naming the source like WT does?

  by InterestedOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am noticing here and there that the wt literature will say things like "one bible dictionary says ..." or "one scholar says ..." and then proceed with a quotation.

  my immediate reaction is to ask myself why they didn't provide the specific source of the quote - author, publication, page #, etc.

  so i am wondering, do other magazines do this?

  The Danger of Credulous Research of Jehovah's Witnesses on the Internet

  by Spade in

  2. scandals

  http://www.watchtower21.org/2011/02/danger-of-naive-and-credulous-research.html.

  it's been my experience so far, that anything a person wants to find out about jehovahs witnesses, they can find out from jehovahs witnesses.

  any and all information ever published by jehovah witnesses is accessible to all.

  Being honest with yourself, could you have reasonably adjusted your attitude and continued on as a JW?

  by miseryloveselders in

  2. friends

  i ask this question in harmony with deedub's swan song thread which i linked below.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/205902/1/time-to-say-good-bye.

  to some degree, i think i understand where she's coming from.

  just speaking from my own experiences since stepping into the world of anonymous apostacy, i went through a few different phases of personal outlooks.

  Why does it seem to be unhappy people who are attracted to the JWs?

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have had time to think about this........... i was an attendent for many years.......... and looking up and down the rows at every family that was seating there in the khs........... no one was happy!.

  i think of my mother (who brought this religion into our house)......she was one of the most unhappy and miserable people you would ever meet!

  she was a spiritual orphan with few friends and no real family to speak of.. she got the "good news" back in 1950, that "the world" was a bad place and god, would soon be killing most everyone......she was thrilled!...............
