while you're busy not having "any" contact with your family and you need help, it's ok to contact your family because they are not going to help you.....

looking back, did you find yourself always worried about what was going to happen to you if you made a mistake or you even exercised your own "bible trained conscience"?.

Brother Sidekick and his wife came to our house today. This ones for Moshe
by garyneal in
1. jw
2. experiences
wow, two days after my conversation with brother hero that brother sidekick shows up with his wife at our apartment.

i am not sure what he wanted but he shows me a newspaper article that suggests that jesus was in jail for the last supper and calculates his death at 33 c.e.. i honestly dont know what he was trying to get at but he and his wife started talking about the memorial.

he said that just like what the newspaper article said, the jews no longer use the old calendar.

Shunned by a pharisaic elder
by ldrnomo in
1. jw
2. experiences
stopped in a local eatery this evening for their famous vegetarian enchilada casserole and there was a man in there, an elder in a local congregation who i was aquatinted with (he did some work for me at my home) and we know his wife.

he was in the same congregation i was in for a time.. i went over to him to say hi and shake his hand and when i reached out he pulled his hand away so i looked over at his partner who was obviously a bible study and reached out to shake his hand and as i did i said to him the reason he wont shake my hand is that hes mad because i dont go to meetings anymore.

i walked away and nothing else was said.. .

Another day, another apostate. Here's my story.
by I Want to Believe in
1. jw
2. experiences
been lurking for a bit, and feel safe enough now to tell my story (condensed).. i'm a third-generation born-in, but my parents were inactive for most of my upbringing.

this means i got the worst of both worlds--no worldly friends (home schooled all but grades 2-3), no witness friends (since we never went to the hall except for memorial), and a generally isolated upbringing in a tiny, tiny town.

needless to say, my emotional, social, and personal growth were stunted.
