  Reading horoscopes (harmless fun but still felt guilty)

  Feeling happy when I had an excuse to skip meetings or field service ( I thought I should be appropriately sad BUT I WASNT!)

  Why is the approval of family so important?

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one of the reasons people remain pimo is fear of losing family.

  those that are disfellowshipped and shunned regularly comment about how devastated that they have lost the approval of their parents.. when i respond to emails from people saying how difficult it is being estranged or looked down on by their parents, i would like to say that over time they will come to terms with it, except i not sure that people ever do.

  i cannot shake that feeling either.

  If we take the original premise and reverse it we see an interesting facet also.

  The "org" knows how powerful this family tie is = thus the use of it as a threat to keep people "in".

  Why hasn't the WT spoken out as loudly about Islam as it has catholics?

  by Bad_Wolf in

  muslims are now outnumbering catholics.

  could the gb be all talk, and afraid if they spoke out against them, the last words they would hear at one of their talks would be "aloha snackbar!"?

  I wonder if it is because Islam "works" for them. It is scary and proves the end is coming quickly?

  In days gone by the Catholic church was the competition so its pretty easy to see thats the way early JW leadership viewed them.

  after much lurking and even sporadic posting under an alias account, i've decided to come out of the "apostate" shadows.

  this month marks my 1-year disfellowshipping anniversary.

  it's been a long, arduous journey, one that nearly took my life.

  This is a great topic to discuss.

  The fearless leader of the JWs here locally (COBE) gets disability and is not disabled in the least. His wife worked tirelessly at the paperwork and hoop jumping required for years and finally got herself and her husband a nice check coming each month for them both, along with free health care.

  I would say at least 50% KNOW they have done something considered "elder worthy" but dont tell.

  Most of that is young couples about to be married.

  I think the number I gave is a conservative one.
