Pixar the production company is jealous of Caleb and Sophia video's
by life is to short inso said the co last night.. apparently a jw was on a flight and just happend to sit next to some big wig from pixar and when the man from pixar heard that he was a jw the pixar man just gushed over what great work that the watchtower has done in producing the caleb video's.
he siad he only wished pixar could do such great work.
the co said we are able to do it because we have free labor and jehovah behind us.. my husband stayed home from the meeting but wanted to tie in by phone and that is what the co said in his talk.. the co also talked about all the changes that have happened in the last ten years and how if some of the friends did not like it they needed and to quote him "they just needed to get over it" these changes are going to happned period.

* the last time we spoke, you raised a question about gods kingdom.

Shunning Makes us Joyful - Another Blast on Jehovah's Trumpet
by cofty inlike all the best comedy this is hilarious and agonising in equal measure.. if you have not bookmarked the jehovah's trumpet blog do it now.. shunning makes us joyful .... "fiends, we are the happiest people on earth because of true worship, and this includes the practice of shunning our closest loved ones...".

That is scarily realistic!! The clever satire makes the real thing seem even more repugnant. Brilliant!

Name Some Things That JWs Look Down Upon That Normal People Wouldn't Even Think About?
by minimus injws look down on others for saying, "bless you" if someone sneezes.
it has something to do with the demons.
another example is that it is considered satanic if a man took his hat off for a lady!

Roll call of those of us stuck in for our spouse or whos spouse is still in!
by BU2B ini just wanted to get a feel for how many here have awakened to ttatt but are still carrying on some jw activities to pacify them and keep the peace.
also trying to hear from those who have left, but whose spouse has stayed in the wt and in the marriage.. for me it comes down to my own mental anguish.
i am mentally tortured by attending the meetings, yet i feel compelled to because my wife would kill me with her personality if i had her drag 2 small girls by herself there.

Hubby is an elder but I've been slowly fading. He knows all my doubts as do my children (grown). I go as little as possible but just enough to keep the peace. When I go I feel like an 'outsider' now looking on. I've let go of all the stress/guilt etc and feel quite liberated now. I realise that no-one else has any power over me. It feels good.

A "follow up" meeting?!?!
by DATA-DOG inwell, now they want a follow up visit!
when you tell the elders that you have doubts and they say " its okay, we have had our doubts.
having doubts is not apostasy.

Yes, I felt like you when I first read CoC... as you can see from the username I chose. A couple of years on I don't feel that way anymore. Take it slow, don't rush things, give yourself time to adjust and come to terms with it all before you decide what you are going to do.

DD... just do what I've done and say you don't want to talk about it. What you think and what you believe is your business and no-one elses. They only have the power that you give them.

Dilemma
by Gorbatchov ingorby and his lovely wife had during dinner a chat about watchtower hypocrisy.
she faded with me since 2007 and shows sometimes affection for the organization.. we talked about the gb and ray franz.. she asked me if she could read my ray franz books.. now i have a dilemma.
the books gave me a hard time in the '90.. i know the ray franz truth can hurt and shock her so much.

Let her read CoC first. I read it still believing it was 'God's organisation'. Once I'd finished I knew it wasn't. SfCF sealed it. At least she has you to support her once she realises it's all false. It's much harder when you have no-one.
All the best Gorby
