Well, I sure am glad my mother decided to have lots of NFB in her last few years.

Necessary Family Business (NFB) is now acceptable according to the weekly WT Study
by Quarterback induring the last decade i've seen so many articles, and top speakers try to downplay that nfb policy.
now, this weeks wt study mentions a positive experience of someone applying having, "contact and applying nfb with a df relative".

I have to vent about someone...
by babygirl30 ini'm sorry if this comes across as rude or mean, but i'm sorry - not sorry!
there is a woman that was in my congregation for years.
she was dating a 'worldly' man at the time and ended up df'd.

She is clearly a very confused young woman. Please remember that her issues are her own.

As a Matter of Conscience, I Am Resigning from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses
by Sail Away inafter listening to the hearings of the australian royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse, i am no longer content to have simply walked away from the organization.
as a matter of conscience, i do not want my name linked with the organization in any way.
i know this letter has been posted previously, and i thank the author.

Attempts to derail this thread did not succeed. Sail Away, I cannot adequately describe how proud I am of you. Your letter is excellent and I hope you will give permission for others to use it. There should be a form letter for those who want to leave without submitting to the JW BS...I wish I had known this was possible many years ago. Thank you so much for your courage and sharing. Btw, I will be celebrating my 58th birthday this year as well.

See? Standing up for yourself was absolutely the right thing to do. I guess hubby will just have to get over it and get on with life!

I believe 'were' is correct. The problem I have is that on jwawake.com I didn't see a link to anything about pedophiles.
Is this still up? It's a great idea, imho. The public needs to know. If a series of these were being done, I'd like to know where to donate.

Your congregation is full of drama queens! This can end in your favor if you get a good lawyer and keep your wits about you. The cudstody agreement can prohibit the child's mother from having her baptized before age 18. Do keep meticulous records on the behavior of your wife and in-laws, while conducting yourself with the utmost decorum. Slow and steady wins the race.

The 79 year old elder officiating at my mother's funeral said "We're all going to die." Apparently some have given up on the fantasy.

The story of a secret Apostate Anointed
by TerryWalstrom inthe remarkable sister pettifog.
this morning i arrived on my bicycle at the local starbucks early, before the intensity of the texas sun boiled to full blaze rendering me a soggy, wrung out mess.. i took up my perch on the outdoor patio in the shade, eager to work on my book of short stories.
this will be my 3rd book and i’ve been enjoying the process daily.. .

Is he just an old blow hard? All bark and no bite? Just trying to get a sense of how he really is...not to say that his behavior hasn't been abusive...It has and he needs to check himself. You have a right to choose your own path, whether it is a spiritual one or not, and whether he likes it or not. I like the idea of calmly stating that you no longer consider yourself one of JWs, for personal reasons. You don't need any help from the elders and you won't accept any sheperding calls. For personal reasons. You owe no one any explanation. Period. No need for raised voices; your decision has been made. Therapy will give you tools to handle your marital situation in the way that's best for you...and don't be afraid to vent with us. The feelings you're expressing are valid and valued.
Hugs,
