  at one time i felt my jw famliy members hated me.

  because i turn my back on the cult.. today i feel sorry for them and it,s not hate they.

  feel.. they way i see it, first of all it,s frustrating serving a. god that you can never please, serving a god that.

  "Disobedience is very costly"

  2. experiences

  wow, i had some words with my father in law.

  over the years i have always had such a profound respect for him because he used to speak from the heart and used the bible to express his view, but lately he has become more and more "wt-ish" with his comments.

  my wife has been suffering from severe pain for years due to injuries suffered at the hands of her 1st husband.

  i used to go in service with a prominent elder in our area who would announce, regarding the 'truth' book in the 70's:.

  "would you like to know the truth and gain everlasting life in just one day?

  this book is divided into 24 chapters that can be studied in just an hour each.

  In a funeral... or when the JWs want to show they're different

  by hijosdelawatch in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a couple of days ago i went to the funeral of an old age brother in his 80s.. well, that was the typical jw funeral although his daughter and the rest of his family are not witnesses.

  as you know the brothers don't wear black clothes nor they show lot of sadness as a "prove" they believe in resurrection.. the problem this time is some of them went too far.

  two sisters had red clothing and at the entrance a group of brothers were literally laughing.

  my jw grandmother passed away last night after a long battle with alzhemers disease.

  What was the first thing you did...

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  2. friends

  when you left the man-made organization currently known as the wtbts??.

  and for those still "in" but mentally "out" what have you started doing thats against the silly, stupid and non-scriptural watchtower policy/law/rule??.

  i know the question has been made before on another thread but i couldn't find it and also there's been quite some growth in new ones here to jwn, so just wanted to see if we could all share some lovely/funny/random experiences.
