  Active jws are discouraged from speaking with ex jws, we might hurt them.

  Personnally, if a jw wishes to post here, what difference does that make to me?

  I guess that if he's here, and if he stays here, its because he's hearing something he likes.

  Good for him.

  Bienvenu Georges.

  In 1974 I read in " Punch" magazine,( for those who dont know it http://www.punch.co.uk/ ) a cartoon:

  "Now they are saying "peace and security", lets hit them with everything we've got".

  I was quite excited then. Well I was only 14!

  Slandered At the Circuit Assembly & My Letter To My Mother

  by headisspinning in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on saturday, my ex husband went on the platform at the one day circuit assembly and slandered me in front of 800+ people.. my jw family is even up in arms because he basically lied and ruined any last bits of my reputation that i had left, the worst part is this was elder sanctioned.. i am really exhausted from all the upheaval so i will get right to the point.

  the following is what i sent to my mother:.

  hi mom.

  Sorry to hear your story Julia.

  You and your family can and will make it through.

  Unfortunately, in my opinion (and experience), half of the elders co's etc are just on a power trip.

  In reading crisis of conscience you can see that it goes right to the top. The loving elders often give up and resign or leave the borg altogether.

  I find your letter very touching and kind. I do hope your parents will listen.

  Good look.

  Is this normal witness behavior?

  by confusedstudent in

  2. friends

  i quit my bible study a couple days ago after taking a month or two to work up the guts.

  have been getting harassing emails/phone calls blah blah blah.

  but i got an email today telling me that an unbelieving spouse can be "sanctified" by his believing mate.

  When my mother first saw her great grandson, she said:

  he's lovely. Its a shame he's going to die soon!

  And then she comlains that they never go to see her.

  By the way, her grandson is nearly 10 now.

  Most humiliating...

  i was at home this morning typing up a couple legal documents for some general contractors to sign that were going to be doing some tree removal on my property, when i get a visit from a sister in the hall i used to attend.

  she usually stops by at least once a week.

  i haven't been to meetings for over a year now and didn't attend memorial this year, but she was quick to remind me how i missed out.

  Something I like to do in such circumstances is ask out right but very politely:

  "Susan ( place her name here), do you count your time for when you're talking to me?"

  And then just look at her and say nothing. Wait for a reply.Even if it takes a while and there is an embarasing silence.

  If it is true, then you probably wont see her again.

  Oh, and for whatever answer she gives, just say, pensively, " I thought so".
