46"DON'T BE AFRAID TO DIE FOR THE TRUTH"
by Mary inmy jw sister was over tonight for supper and after a couple of glasses of vino she told me that "today's watchtower study was bullshit" and that one of the 'elite elders' made a comment that bothered her a great deal.. he was apparently at bethel not too long ago and "one of the big-wigs" who was giving a talk said "don't be afraid of dying for the truth brothers" and this jackass was stupid enough to repeat this at the meeting.
it bothered my sister a great deal and i said to her: "soooo are they going to start passing out the kood-aid or what?
" she knew exactly what i was talking about and she said "ya, i wondered the same thing.

I am new here too, been on for 2 days. I have been out for 14 years but I lost my husband and 3 children when I left, got my youngest son out with me. All of my 3 JW children are in marriages set up by the JW. I was not allowed to attend the weddings. My only daughter has 2 children I've never been allowed to see. You learn to cope but the pain never goes away. It's very lonly. Because of my JW hangups it's hard to trust and meet people. I've been to Blue Mountain Christian Retreat in Pa. ( Witnesses for Jesus ) a WONDERFUL place and so full of love and common experiences. I hope to meet many of you.

Ex-inlaws are trying to JW indoctrinate my daughter....need some advice
by James_Slash incould do with some help please.. i found out last week that my daughter is being taught how to pray before meals "dear jehovah" and taken to meetings by her mothers family (that are jw's).. myself and her mother are divorced - we live over 100 miles apart.
neither of us are jws anymore (i haven't been for 5 years - not d/f or d/a) and i am contemplating my disassociation letter as we speak.
her family played a part in separating me from my daughter during our divorce in 2007 - they even wrote lies to support her.

I went through something similiar with my son. I left the JW when my husband left us and I took my young son. My husband was a JW in good standing even though he abandoned us. Anyway, every visiting day he tried to indoctrine the JW teachings in him. Whenever you see your child tell her about Jesus and how wonderful to be free, how great it is to have friends and go to school functions, etc. It doesn't take a child long to see the boredom and strictness in a Kingdom Hall!
