completly ignore disfellowshipped children and never speak at all to them , also what about the children of the disfellowshipped children that are growing up unaware of the "truth " ?
im thinking of writing to my inlaws who have never bothered with our child for two and a half years to tell them to just walk on by if they see us as it would confuse her if they saw us and acted as though nothing has happened .
then they will be good jws and obediant to the watchtower and not blame us for not letting them see her which is what they lie and tell people !.
i have tried many ways to get them to see the reality of what they are doing but to no avail and now its just too late !
i dont want thier sicko religion messing up my childs mind ever
! like it did mine and my husbands . i now actually want them to ignore us all . and by doing so they will be good jws ! problem solved !
BRAVO!
Yes. One large and influential family.
these comments and the references to the old publications are a true find.
have a read of this and you will never become one of the jw's!.
don't associate with outsiders (non-jehovah's witnesses).
Just stand over there in the corner, put your hands on your head and DONT TOUCH ANYTHONG (oops sorry, a freudian slip) I meant ANYTHING
i don't know if anyone has already posted this since i was in corfu island in the last 2 weeks.
it's from the jwn forum:.
september 2011 km says, "publishers auxiliary pioneering during march 2012 will have the option of working toward a 30-hour or a 50-hour requirement for the month.
So for those dubs excited about the fact that they had not heard of any conventions planned for 2012, and taking that as a sign that the end is verrrrrrrry near, this must be a blow. They have got to wait until at least april now.
i got the convention update from my mom, who attended this past weekend.
sounds like the society made the claim that immorality is escalating at a faster clip.
is that true?
That depends on ones definition of immorality.
When you consider Sodom and Gomorrah, ancient Rome, etc, I dont think that humanity is any different today, than ever before.
i have read coc, ccmc, isocf and captive of a concept.
i have been fading since april.
i have nothing to hold me back in wbts so i have decided to leave it.
Congratulations on making your decision umadevi. You have made the right choice.
well, as i mentioned before in one of my few other posts, i've been lurking here for some time now and finally decided it was time to face the facts and take action.. i was raised a jw (4th generation) and my parents were quite zealous when they got married.
mom was a regular pioneer and dad was a ms. i was the little jw 'rockstar' in my congregation, got baptized at 10, was giving talks and serving as an attendant at the hall and at conventions at such an early age.
auxiliary pioneered whenever i could.
Glad you have seen the "new light" Bucholz. Enjoy your life.
heard this from a friend of a friend via an email locally circulating.
are you ready?
take a deep breath.... "the end of this system is just a whisper away..." from a ca talk i think, maybe even from the dc, i can't remember.
It seems that alot of dubs are very excited that the end is verrrrrrrrrrrrrry close.
I've not seen that since 1975.
Maybe its the 2012 prophecy.
And there has just been another earthquake: near Corsica. Scarey stuff..... I dont think.
so recently, i've had this urge to write to my father.
i couldn't quite pinpoint why i would try when i know he wouldn't read it and we aren't even that close.. over the years, before i left, my father and i could not relate to each other and we quit trying.
he was always so busy writting and preparing for talks.
Velour, you are right to write to your dad. You must tell him what you told us. To bad if he doesnt read the letters
(yes I did say letters. Keep writing). Its important for you, and for him if he did but know it.
You never know what he might do. Maybe he'll read them in a month, or in a year.
I miss my dad too. I would have liked him to see what I've made of my life. I would have liked him to be proud of me. But he's gone. Its too late for me. But not for you.
Straightshooter:
I don't think the WTS realizes the extreme hurt that they cause by their doctrine of shunning.
I dont think they even care.
me and my wife,a non jw,took her 3 year old country cat to see the vet in edinburgh, i left her at the vets with the cat and went to work, i gave her 20 pounds and told her to get a cab into town to meet me at work.
the vet removes the chicken bone from the cats throat,{the little bastard stole it ,when we were not looking} anyway she gets a bus with cat into town,cost only 1 pound, she does not get cab she keeps 19pounds.
typical, only the cat manages to wriggle out the basket,on princess street, terrified runs helter skelter accross 2, 4 lane highways, avoiding buses taxis,ect, my wife terrified screaming down the phone at me,to come and protect and save her beloved cat.f__k ,my whole world was collapsing before me, i prayed that kitty would live, my wife is sensitive, and she would have been inconsolable had the kitty died on her watch, so i ran out of work, drove through red lights, and prayed,that the little cat survived.
Did you pray to Bastet, protector of cats?
