2 nice ladys called on me the other day , as one started her "speach" the other one looked embarresed , i interupted and said to the embarresed one "you know why im not interested in your religion ,dont you " she replied "yes im sorry i couldnt rember which one you lived in " (i had met her at my door some months ago , and explained that my daughter was raped as a child by a man i had met at the kingdom hall , and some jws support him despite him abusing other jws etc , i had told of the paedpphile problem in the religion and my jw inlaws dont visit my little girl because her daddy is a disfellowshipped man , which i think is very unchristian) the other lady then started admiring my dress , then my little girl appeared and she said how pretty she was etc, i said goodbye and closed the door , i wish i had heard what the 2nd lady had said to her friend in explanation for why i was not interested !
the annoying thing is my little girl then wanted to know who they are and what did they want to talk about , so i explained they were in "that religion that grandma is in "that stops her coming to see daddy , which upset her , then hubby came back from work later in a good mood untill i told him of the visit that had upset our little girl and then he was moody with me and said "dont talk to them again , next time tell them to be made a "do not call " for ever and never ever review it !is it possible to do that in our situation ?
i dont want my family life upset .
you could bypass waiting for the next jw caller,
send the hall a registered letter (that they have to sign for that gives you proof of delivery) put in it your name and house number and state that you wish to be put on their no call list immediately,
say that you will view any further calls as harrassment, and that you are prepared to use legal means if it is not adhered to.
cc. your solicitor on the bottom of the letter.
this video was sent to me earlier today, and it really hit a nerve with me,,,,, i just couldn't stop applying it to the witness belief of df and da.. i've known quite a few witness parents over the years who just left their kids "on the roadside" because they no longer.
wanted to be a part of this religion.. why is it that genuine human reaction/emotion is dropped when children no longer want to be a jw ?.
this father seems to be quite a guy, notice how he yells at the security/medical person near the end no doubt to leave his son alone !.
sorry didnt answer what a jw would think of it forgot the question when i watched it

wow - I'm not a sap, but that was intense. x2
i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.
i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?
i've already found several by reading older posts..

when my mum returned after 6 weeks she had also been converted.
i am sure the twenty years younger and big boobs had nothing whatsoever to do with it and cannot think why he both could think of no other way of leaving and why if it was so bad it was alright to leave his kids in it.
she beat me so bad i found out afterwards my brothers thought she was going to kill me.
thankyou for sharing that, love the way you write.

theres an awake article hot on the press as we type, the evils of education puts youth into path of temptation. evil boss leads youth astray by giving him well paid job and believing the jw honesty hype on his resume.
saved from the brink of ruin by pioneering and window washing.
i do hope his window cleaning customers lock their windows.
hi everyone, have a question:.
in your experience, which side figured out that the wt wasn't really "the truth" first?.
the right side of the brain is generally considered to be the "artistic, emotional, 'all at once', sub-conscious, dreaming" side of your brain, while the left being the "logical, procedural, step 1 then step 2" side of your brain.. for me it was clearly the right side - my left side had been well trained to ignore or weasel around the logical problems with the wt.

in that case it was my right side as it used to leave the building and go somewhere else as soon as my bum hit the seat.
it was so well trained to get up and go it still does, i struggle with anything that resembles a lecture, business meeting, training sessions. even long youtube talking things can send me off.
i had to sit through 3 days of training dvds and sessions for care work a while back, it was a total nightmare trying to stay conscious while my head was trying to zone me out continually.
the job i have now involves AGM meetings, i'm just relieved i dont have to take the minutes cos i'm gone just after they start.
and she said that she likes to shoot turtles.
.
she can teach you to shoot turtles and you can show her how to kill bugs long and slow, sounds like a pretty good match. go for it.
a. do you try to "witness" to current jw's as much as possible?.
.
b. do you just let them find out for themselves on the internet?.
no, i dont have the inclination to bother . theyre not my problem.
from what i've seen of dubs on the internet lately, they like to swing both ways, have their cake and eat it, they stay in the jws for various reasons family, social circle, power status amongst the ranks, while managing to live with a foot in both worlds.its not so much a belief system as a hobby.
the change has been gradual but its getting harder to define jws v 'worldly' cos apart from the minority die hards the lines are all blurred. the borg is losing its power and control thanks to the new age hobby jws. the rotting is on the inside out.
so no, the hobby jws are doing a great job all by themselves as far as the internet goes.
my father was a cop for 30+yrs.
he was a tuff and ruff cop.
his sence of humor was awsome.
(((darth))) its hard watching someone you love die long before their body catches up.
in our family the men have tended to drop dead fast and the wiminz get the ol'timers and linger for years away with the fairies.
i think the men got the far better deal.
my nan never forgot me, she did forget about the jw politics and that i was dfd, it reverted her back to the years before the jw crap imploded our family. i didnt get to see her much cos of the jw crap, so it must have really irked my aunt that she could forget those she saw day to day but she lit up like a torch for me.
