  just wondering how all you slow faders are doing.i know this subject is discussed many times,but personally i wish it was more.we should post every once in a while just to say how we are doing,we need to encourage each other.as for me,it is still going very slow.right now i'm looking into the history that is being covered up.i have learned so much just by reading the older threads.it is very painful for me because this was the truth.and to be finding out so much crap that 99% of jw don't even know,it just is unbelievable.i have cut my field service down,and miss more meetings then i ever did.i'm hoping the sister that is in my face all the time,trying to help me,will forget about me soon......so how are you doing?.

  Honestly, Do You Judge Someone Because Of Their Color Or Nationality?

  one of the first baby dolls i gave my granddaughter was a cute little black baby doll.

  she still has it in her car seat and if you try to take her doll from her she says, "my baby!!

  " typically little children are color blind.

  Nope. Lived in various Countries and various US States. Like Lillith, I'd have to hate my entire family. Its not like skin color makes sameness: Are the Brits and the Irish and the French the same because of skin color or the Ghanians and Congans and Jamaicans the same because of skin color? No, their cultures are completely different. I find those differences interesting.

  It works for me.

  I'm reminded of the saying, "Pray to God but row away from the rocks."

  Lady Liberty,

  Sorry to hear about your MIL ... doncha just wish sometimes a giant fish would pop out of nowhere and swallow a few folks?

  Next time you and your daughter both see the starer, why not have your daughter go over solo and say hello and give her a big hug? See if the ole MIL runs from her or not? Or simply say 'hi grandma' and wait to see if she returns your daughter's hello?

  Killing mean spirited people with kidness and refusing to stoop to their level is fun. I think what your MIL is doing toward your daughter is plain mean-spirited, there's no reason for it. She's simply taking her anger out on you by ignoring her grandchild.

  Stay strong.

  do jehovahs witnesses and their hierarchy claim that they receive direct revelations from god (jehovah)?

  if so, can you give me quotes, i would like to show some of my family members who say they are not like the pope of rome, or the mormons.

  thanks .

  Why is Ray Franz the only GB member to have ever resigned?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's always seemed a bit odd to me that ray franz is the only gb member to have ever resigned, particularly for such a controversial religion.. we know from ray franz's books that there is often debate amongst the gb about new ideas sometimes introduced and often they are quite divided in their opinions.. i am not sure when the "governing body" officially began (wikipedia's explanation is messy) but it was quite a few decades ago.

  there have been dozens of members of the gb since it's creation (does anyone know the exact total number?).

  one would think that there would have been a few more disgruntled gb members over the years who would have resigned if the gb voted against some proposal they felt very strongly about.

  How many generational welfare recipeints get off? Honestly, these guys are one step above welfare queens, the difference being every now and then they send out a book for all the money they get. No charity, no food packages for needy 'friends', no building small homes for low income 'friends' [the ones they encouraged not to go to college], nothing, nada.

  They stay beause they don't want to have to get real jobs, pay rent, pay gas & electric, buy their own gas, have a car note, buy food, live in the real world .... those are scary things for people who have never had to do so.

  Like the catholic heirarchy, they are content to live in high security domiciles off of other people's money, while the majority of their "flock" can barely scratch together two nickels.

  Franz leaving was like leaving off of welfare. A brave thing to do considering his age at the time.

  FINAL UPDATE ON MY PIONEER SISTER'S FADE

  by SusanHere in

  2. friends

  my sister was a pioneer for decades.

  she loved the jehovah's witness religion with all her heart and nobody anywhere could have tried harder to live its teachings.

  but now, finally .... she's washed her hands of the jehovah's witnesses once and for all.

  Think ive changed...can see it quite a bit laterly.PLEASE!!

  2. family

  putting this out there.....going back 12months ago i was completely different to how i am now.

  i am still loyal to jah and dont go against the scriptures, but even though ive recently returned to pioneering (only aux pio at present) i see im a little more laid back.. i think this has come through having to endure hell and back without any help, except jehovah, which im not complaining, im so glad his been there for me, for us both.

  but i really believe that due to things that have badly and wrongly been allowed to take place etc its moulded me a little different to how i was.

  Well AE, you said no one helped you but Jah. So if you've finally figured out he's all you need ... why return to those whom you do not need nor were there to help you?

  I figured it out a long long time ago. Satying with Jah and your core beliefs does not mean staying with those who are a "downer" to your mental health.

  Leaving them in no way shape or form equates to leaving Jah ... no matter how much someone says it is.

  You are perplexed ... because had a a far more sustaining and closer relationship with Jah when you weren't aroung JWs.

  Admit it.

  PS. Some of the people here are totally out of line to the point of nasty. Why treat someone as nasty as you claim to have been treated? Is that supposed to be helpful?

  CO visit this week

  by JerkhovahsWitless in

  2. friends

  for the first time, i didn't attend the meeting when the co came.

  my family went, which i figured would lead to them being questioned about me.. i thought for sure the cultists would be knocking on my door with the fat old wind-bag co to "encourage" me.

  unless they stopped by this week when no one was home, it looks like no one wants to save me from armageddon.
