  Will they disassociate me?

  by Sirona in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my boyfriend was disgusted with the jws after the panorama programme, and has decided to da himself.

  none of his family are jw and he just simply does not want to be listed as a jw anymore.. since we are known by the congregation to be together, will they da or df me for seeing him?.

  bear in mind, neither of us have set foot in the kh for a couple of years.

  Law in USA, fyi, (hey texas!)

  by one in

  1. jw

  http://www.nolo.com/texas/professor.html .

  "de tocqueville described this elite strain of thought quite well in democracy in america, where he characterized american law as an "occult science" that only those trained in the priesthood could understand.

  de tocqueville contrasted obscure american law with the law of france, where codification made law accessible to everyone.

  Facing the inevitable....how will you handle it?

  by Makena1 in

  1. social
  2. family

  or - how are you handling it?.

  my subject is how we deal with getting older - realizing that we are headed in just one direction, aging and eventually dying.

  for most of us born after wwii, raised as jw's, we did not give a thought to getting older.

  "You can't use both ends of the stick"

  by DazedAndConfused in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am so frustrated.

  on one hand i want my parents "out of the truth" and then on the other hand...i wonder if it were to really harm them if they stayed.. i know that for me...to be out is the best thing to ever happen to me.

  i have talked to my parents, devout jw's...mom is an ex-pioneer (disabled now) and dad is a ms (pushing for eldership).

  Disgusting JW Funeral story

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i heard of a funeral held for a sister last week in a kh.. her non-jw daughter-in-law write a poem for her, and wanted to read it at the service in the kingdom hall.

  the d-i-l had studied many years ago but was never baptized.

  however, because she was wearing slacks, she was refused to read it from the platform and had to read it from her seat in the audience.. how low can you go?

  growing up JW DOES DAMAGE (re-post)

  by lisaBObeesa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  good post!

  but there are those who stay for other reasons.

  even though they know the beliefs and practices are wrong, they cannot bring themselves to pay the price for leaving.

  JW Family Tries Black-Mailing Me

  by Prisca in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have spent the last week or so with my sister and bro-in-law and my 6year old niece, all jws.

  they live in a town not too far away from me, and i visit them every couple of months or so.

  my sister and i are close, not extremely so, but we appreciate each other as we have no other bros & sisters, our mother died 21yrs ago, and our father treats us as though we are dead too (due to non-jw issues).. last time i went to visit them, my bro-in-law asked my niece to ask me if i'd go to the meeting.
