I understand how you feel. I once did that.....and my mother did not speak with me for 5 years..... until she fell gravely ill. So now I say nothing again.
But it drives me crazy.

How do you respond to JW family?
by Laika infor those who have left and are still in contact with jw family, how do you usually respond when they bring up jw stuff, i.e.
start talking about the nearness of armageddon or things like that.. i usually say nothing and just let it pass but i'm considering changing tact to something more confrontational, less because i want to change their mind and more because i find it tiresome.
thoughts?

Your site looks like it will be interesting. I like your very reasonable approach to the subject.

Good luck with your project.

Morris Vindicated. Yoga Pants ARE Indecent
by konceptual99 inhttp://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-31447905.
even those in "the world" (tm) recognise the indecent nature of this type of apparel.

Thankyou tv.jw! you are helping my wife wake up!
by stuckinarut2 ini have to thank tv.jw!!!
(im not putting the complete link, but you know what i mean).
after showing my wife the 'trolley song' as we now call it, she was rolling on the floor in embarrassment and shock.. she shook her head, and was clearly troubled by what we watched.. little by little, the org is actually helping more to wake up!

So my dad comes from vacation and ???!!!
by Kool Jo inhello folks.....so in an earlier thread i started, you'd realize that my father and i are quite close, we talk about almost everything/anything.. he traveled outside the country (he's semi-retired), enjoying the fruitage of his hard labor during his younger years.
so he recently returned home after he and mum went away to catchup with some old friends in another country.. upon his returning home, and subsequently to the meetings, he was told that a decision was made to strip him of his "field overseer" role, but will still continue to be an elder.. the reason...he goes away for too long too often...you can't be away from your congregation for three months out of the year!!!???
has anyone else had this experience before?

thank you for posting.
Its just another story of a wrecked life thanks to the hypocracy among the elders who could have done better to protect these children.
an interesting fact: the number of active jws has been decreasing in montreal ( is it talking about just the provence or all of canada?
anyway, thats the sort of "goods news"I like to hear.

welcome to the forum gone. I'm so glad you have found happiness at last. Enjoy.
As an ex elder I would have blown the others out of the water for not helping you. Then I suppose I would have got "taken off" myself. What a crazy religion. Good luck with the rest of your life.
