  My trip to the landfill

  by hoser in

  2. friends

  it was with great pleasure and with mrs hosers blessing that i took all of our bound volumes and other obsolete jehovah's witness books to the local landfill.

  i threw them into the garbage pile and watched as a crawler tractor drove over them to pack them down.

  i just wrote them a mail, telling them to not contact me any more under any circumstances, illness or death (79 and 83 years old).

  unless they leave the cult and would apologize for our f*'.ed-up upbringing which ruined our whole life.

  If we dont respond "humbley", they will have a "good reason" to say,

  you see, they've really turned theirback on jehovah. you must shun them, completely

  i could only find the article in french, but you can use google translate.

  i remember this guy vividly and it churns my stomach to think of what he did to that poor girl.

  as a CO, nay, as a JW, you only have to say something, and it automatically becomes the truth. No need to prove it.

  They were saying exactly that, in the 1960s, when I was a boy.

  Why not, whilst giving her a reasuring hug, say that you dont worry too much about that, as they have been saying the same thing for such a long time. maybe give an example from someone you know. Then tell her you will face whatever comes together..........then change the subject.

  How do you respond to JW family?

  by Laika in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for 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?

  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.
