  Did you like hymns as a jw?

  by jean-luc picard in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just explaining to mrs picard........ never a jw, and not english, how we used to celebrate the harvest festival, when i was 7 and younger, before my parents converted to jw'ism.. i loved to sing "we plough the fields and scatter".

  of course, singing such hymns is, to a jw, paramount to apostasy,with the death penalty like punishment the ensued.. how really stupid their harsh rules.. did you have any favourite hymns?.

  i think we would all agree, that they beat the pants off the "kingdom melodies".

  I like so many of the songs you've mentioned.

  I really should learn la marseillaise..

  simon: I just love christmas carols. I had forgotten about the salvation army bands though. They do add a bit of ambiance.

  just for a laugh, look up the english translation of the french word "con" on the internet. Youll see your CO in a new light.......... or maybe not.

  I commisurate with your feelings mrs eden. The problem is:for most jws, your sister included, they just dont know how to talk about normal things.Their sphere of knowledge/interests is just soooo limited.

  I sometimes wonder who shunning is meant to protect : them? or maybe us.

  ex mrs picard, daughter of an elder, has never been disfellowshipped. lived with one guy for 2 years and now "has a new boyfriend every month"according to my son.

  i though, was disfellowshipped double quick, when they knew about mrs p and I,even though I was living 1000 miles away.

  as my mum said " jehovah sees all" lol

  Waiting For The "Real Life"...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how many times did we have to hear this?

  just another way to make you feel guilty for wanting to spend time improving yourself or enjoying life outside the organization.

  to think of all the people that died waiting for the "real life" that is not coming is actually very sad and depressing.

  Advice Needed - JW Grandparents

  by What Now? in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my family has been out (inactive no meeting attendance or field service) for just over two years..

  weve made many changes in our lives, including with our personal appearances (tattoos, piercings etc) that are a pretty obvious sign that we arent going back any time soon.

  our families went through a period of time about a year ago when they made a lot of threats that if we left the truth, they wouldnt even be able to share a meal with us, they would stay loyal to jehovah etc.

  I havent read all the posts,so maybe its already been said:

  they will try to get your children on their side, and then, the logical goal is to get your own children to shun you.

  Not today, or tomorrow, but sometime in the future.

  "If you love your mum and dad, then you should shun them..."

  Then you will be the ones with no body. Yes thats how loving they are in this cult. And they will be able to justify themselves too.
