  Intro and Thoughts

  by ThinkerBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been lurking on the board for almost a year now and i think i'm ready to come out of hiding (although, i'm so nervous as i type this).

  i'm not ready to share everything about my story, but the basics are that i'm a born-in, elder's kid, baptized as a teenager because i was tired of hearing people ask me "all your friends are baptized, when are you going to get baptized?

  ", married an unbeliever (was df, but came back shortly after) and we have two kids.

  I think that being true to oneself becomes something different when one becomes a parent.

  It then means that for the next ____ years, you will seek the best interests of that child ahead of and before anything.

  Your plan sounds wise to me CrazyGuy.

  Who was it that said - hold your friends close and your enemies even closer?

  Yes Half banana, we will ridicule them and sadly enough they will provide all the material needed for that.

  stuckinarut, that is exactly what they are attempting to do. But why does the H.S. need more revisions than a college paper????

  Because they are totally reactionary in form, we know what there WONT be...

  there wont be any talk about pants or socks or spanx.

  Looking back over the forum here I have been amazed at all the back and forth over doctrines about blood, childbirth, vaccinations, will the people of Sodom be resurrected, type and antitype etc.

  They launch an idea, cherry pick some scriptures and when that doesnt seem to work they dont just change it they reverse it and call it "new light"!

  All in an attempt to persuade people that they are Gods spokesman.

  So if the best indicator of the future is the past then they will stay far away from all the things that brought such ridicule on their heads last year.

  I was unkind & I am deeply sorry

  by Dolosus in

  early this morning, i was stopped at a service station dealing with a mechanical issue with my motorcycle.

  i was approached by 2 young men who pro-offered some of your reading material.

  i deeply regret that i was very unkind; in actual fact, i was quite mean in my response to them.

  my father was diagnosed with alzheimers disease.. .

  before his dementia grew worse he requested to be baptized in jesus name.. .

  when i see him and hear him talk now it is nothing less than a miracle from god.

  In this case we are talking about an older gentleman with Alzheimers.

  Whatever works, I say.

  Ray Franz was an Idiot

  by vinman in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  ray franz who gave us insight into the gb due to a crisis of conscience was an absolute moron, with absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever like all of us have.

  i mean, to have a conscience based on some magic man in the sky.. how stupid can you be?

  in search of christian freedom?

  Best post of the day!

  Okay, vinman, sometimes despite good intentions, strategies backfire badly and who is perfect? In your attempt to make a point, you missed by a country mile. And whatever good point you may have wanted to make has been lost. But good on you for saying you'll try harder next time. That's all any of us can do: Try to do better next time.
  Ray Franz was above all else a respectful and empathic man. He did not attempt to convert people to his point of view but was cautious in his statements because he knew that most of his listeners had been through the mill with organized religion.
  Ray gave as much attention to how he said something as he did to what he said. Unlike some posters on this forum he did not attempt to deliberately provoke outrage for the sake of sitting back and enjoying the conflict.

  Why is my Uncle (JW PO-COBE) and Aunt Cruella suing my parents and grandparents?

  by ReligionOfHatred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i heard this is a website where you can ask fellow jehovah's witnesses questions that websites like jw friends will not allow you to post because they don't allow you to speak ill of any elder.

  my aunt cruella de ville and uncle jaundice sent my grandpa (he's got dementia and grandma has cancer) a letter saying their going to force grandma and gramps in to selling the land my grandmother located back in the late 1970s, grandma is very smart and saw the potential for their land, she was very gifted seeing things others did not see.

  in the 1980s my grandparents went to oregon to check on their daughter who was pregnant, they were appalled by the living conditions cruella was living and she was having to work even though she was heavy with child.. all of this started when my dad ran in to a elder at the grocery store and this elder told my dad that "the reason cruella and jaundice are shunning your inlaws is because their apostates and therefore have the right to shun them.

  2. family

  yesterday some jw's came over to my house and were even being nice to me, most of the time if they do come by an elder or ms may say something but the others will not, its even hard for them to say just hello (how pathetic).

  ( they also do this behind my back as if i don't know).

  i now realize by not being their i've handed my kids right over to them!.

  It takes a very special person to attempt to make amends when they feel they have wronged someone.

  Its really nice to meet you Dolosus.
