How did I get away with it??
by home_and_dry inthe more i read on this board, the more it makes me wonder how on earth i managed to escape the jw's without being df'd.
i was baptized in 1990 aged 15. i was df'd in 1991 and was reinstated after only 2 months 'out' and a further 3 months of returning to the meetings.. two years after being reinstated, i knew i wanted out but couldn't bear the thought of being df'd again.
so i found a flat to rent and moved out of my jw parents home.

I met one Jw( an elders daughter ) who admitted she was a lesbian-Her Father & Mother knew- she was NOT Df- she said Elders kids have an astrik
beside there names ( meaning they are special.....)
Just thank God you havent been treated like a lot of us- lost our fathers, Mothers, children, & friends...
Good Luck to you. -

I agree with David. Why go to mock? children sitting in the congregation will be told" they are Satan tools" My prayer is that those attending can see the LOVE of God in our ways.
Sorry to sound judgemental- but I was thinking of my family still in- seeing such behaviour. -

jw schools?
by one inin the past i wondered why the wt did not promoted or operated prvate jw schools to keep children (their source of membership) out of the "world".. also it was/is frustrating for some parents no being able to send their children to private schools, their are mostly operated by religious organizations in many places.
i was pulled out of private schools after failed attempts to get exemption from attending the religious services at the school.
i remember going to the bath room or somewhere else and statying there until the "service" was over, scared to death...

We were told we must send out kids to public schools so they could "preach what they were learning from the Fretful & deplet Slave.

Talk about missionarys- There is an 80 year old woman in St Joseph
MO who for many years was one overseas....She came back to the States to look after her dying Mother- Her hubby was DF for drinking-But she carried on- she is now crippled- they Df her for pointing out her fleshly brothers theft-of her Mothers belongings-he was an elder.
She read Crises Of Con: Even helped Ray with the loaning of the money to publish it in Spainish- She now sits in a "home" with not a soul to visit- ALL her family are JWs...I call her once a month-I have never met her...What a lonely life to live-Not a soul ( brothers & sisters, fleshly or spirituel) who care.I live in Canada so it is far for me to go.But if any on here arein MO- feel like visiting a lonely old lady? -

Why all the disrespect for Tua Pek Kong?
by bboyneko innow i understand completely that most in this forum are 100% against jws and the watchtower.
what i don't understand is the disrespect that has been shown for such a sacred occasion that is the birthday of tua pek kong.
whether you agree with jws or not, the fact is that birthday of tua pek kong has a lot of meaning for poh hock seah's.

#*&)^%*!!!!!! I'm in the mood to kill.
by LoneWolf inand if you read some snarls in between those words, you don't know the half of it.. my wife asked me to go to the memorial last night, and i decided to go if for no other reason than to keep tabs on what's going on.
those who know my story know that my situation is unusual.. just before we left she came to me privately and said that she had something to tell me before i heard it from anyone else.
she knows exactly how i feel about the society, and was scared as to my reaction, and i don't blame her: there's hell to pay.. jeff strebe committed suicide the night before.

My sympathy to you. I believe the trouble is when the Borg captures our mind-It teaches us to be unemotional. No feelings for others
( because WE are so selfrightous)I was so saddend to read your post.
All we can do is pray for their eyes to be opened.
Hang in there my friend- you will hear alot more suicides- the net is exposing their lies- Because they have been been so indoctrinated- they will feel guilty for looking here..Then guilt being the most distructive force in the world- is when they end it all. -

That is exactly what I do. I "TALK" to the Father & the Son,I thank Jesus for paying the price for me. I ask the HOLY SPIRIT to guide,direct,& lead me to do HIS will not my own.I dont just end my prayer with" in Jesus name" I talk to Jesus -Some times I vent....
complain,cry,but I would put up with all that from MY kids- & I know his LOVE is greater than mine....So I always say "he has broad shoulders ,he can take it"
The scriptures tell us he uses "broken vessels" I would say we are broken when we leave the Borg.( I like to say crack pots) The relationship will truly grow-if you start talking to him on a regular basis.Remember the scriptures say"If you do not honor the Son as you honor the Father -you are not honoring the Father- so start that relationship as soon as possible friend. -

Suckered into the memorial after all
by Pierced Angel indang!.
things happened with my mom (dad couldn't get back from his out of town job) and i ended up being guilted into going to the memorial with her after all.
at least she agreed to take the kids home with her afterwards so my friend and i could still go out for a few drinks afterwards (which were much needed after that experience).. i'm da'd so many there smiled when they saw me and it immediately froze on their faces as they tried to look the other way.
