  Steve2, Very true! and if your eyes slightly begin to flutter you grab some warm milk in the attempt to prevent/hinder the awakening.

  You might be a J dubya in the early years if:

  You believe black people will turn white and

  Women will turn into men after Armageddon. Or......

  You might just be a gay misogynist bigot?

  OneEyed, You hit the nail squarely one the head. As a born in with absolutely no ex or non JW family I ignored any doubts and refused to research the history of the Borg for the simple reason that I was completely UNPREPARED for the decisions that would be required if I learned TTATT.

  Crap Shoot

  what would have happen if i was not home when jehovahs witnesses knocked on my door?.

  there was a group of us living in a small trailer in the mid 60s when and old pioneer brother knocked on our door and placed all kinds of books and magazines with us.

  all of us took it seriously and studied and started attending the kingdom hall.

  Your story is interesting.

  At least 5 of you quit being JWs
  

  One of you became a doctor

  The fact that he died in an auto accident could happen to anyone.

  Drugs can kill in more ways than one.

  None of you were better off for being in a cult.

  Life is often random.

  OrphanCrow, "Thank you, Mother. You taught me well what not to do."

  You took the words right out of my mouth. My only living child called to let me know how much she loves and misses me. She has ZERO interest or relationship with her grandmother, a decision made all on her own.

  Can they disfellowship my father?

  this has nothing to do with my facebook endeavors.

  when the elders visited us last week, they also discussed my father.

  my mother called them about him.

  Your mother is in two abusive relationships. The Watchtower and your father. I applaud your concern for her but keeping your parents together under the circumstances is a mistake. Disfellowshipping is not the real problem here the abuse is.

  Help her get in touch with a women's shelter. Help her to value herself enough not to allow herself or her animals to be abused. He needs serious councelling and so does she. Help her find safety AWAY from your father/ abuser.

  this was the reason that our 12 year old son gave us for wanting to be baptized.

  my wife and i actually agreed that he should wait a little longer, thank god!

  by the time he was 13 he was running wild.

  You might want to rethink things if you are following the WTBT$ rule of "necessary family business" to appear to be a follower to your wife. What about visits with your daughter alone? Surely there can be a satisfactory "work around"?

  Hey Nate,

  True story I answered a private ad for a 10 yo low mileage sports car. When I saw and drove the car I was in love. Turns out the the owner was a USED car salesman named....(wait for it) VINNEY. Being an active JW at the time I not only bought it but paid him cash. LOL!

  Relax, Paulmolark

  If the person reading or replying to your thread doesn't see that it is obviously a typo do you really care what his/her opinion is ? Besides, from time to time we all need a laugh. :)
