On a side note, how did the dad get to be an accountant without attending university? - oh i suppose he did that before he was a JW. Good thing he did!

I have no desire to sit through this crap voluntarily digitally or in person, i do want to keep up with their propaganda. I'll just wait until Lloyd Evans does a rebuttal. Or when the topics on here get heated about a particular talk.

JW Grandparent Drama
by What Now? inmy mom and sisters have not had any contact with my family for the past year and a half.. we even recently announced a new pregnancy and none of them acknowledged it or called to say congratulations or anything.. this past week my non-witness grandfather passed away and i had thought that for the sake of his death and funeral, it being "necessary family business" that they would at least be civil in front of our other family.
all of them still ignored me, my sisters didn't even speak to my children at all - to be honest i don't think my kids even knew who they were.
for the sake of my grandmother i made a small attempt at the end of the day to say goodbye to my mother and she kind of just brushed past me and said goodbye without really looking at me.. anyways my grandmother told me later that my mom spoke to her and said "i love my daughter and i love my grandchildren and i'm so upset that she won't allow me to see them".

Similar situation with me. My family are shunning me but cry and moan that they never see my daughter. They too are playing the victim "the whole family is suffering because of what you've done" etc
Unfortunately, my ex takes my daughter to visit every couple of weeks. I tell her not to but she does it behind by back anyway (no backbone).

Baptized at a young age, homeschooled, and pioneered ...
by Wild_Thing inand all of this by the time i was 14. i was the youngest person in my pioneer school.
was anybody else in the trenches (to this degree) at such a young age?.
i look back on it now and marvel at how isolated i was.

When I was a JW I dated two girls that were homeschooled. Both were very defensive in the fact that they were homeschooled and both were always trying to prove they were clever and not stupid.

Funny, all of the active JWs that try to call me a "lying apostate" on Quora say the the JWs are the fastest growing religion?

The look of horror on his face when his non JW family are over at his place. Is this how JWs are supposed to react now?
With the 2016 convention telling them to shun inactive family members, I think this is giving the subtle hint that you should only associate with JWs 100%.
The GB are turning up the heat. Fortunately not everyone will go along with that.

When i was a kid, i remember Jehovah being so real to me. I would pray to him in my head many many times in the day, it was like he was my best friend watching over only me. Unfortunately, this was nothing more than a child with an imaginary friend. Only mine was called Jehovah, he lived in the sky, he had a big white beard and only cared about me (first and foremost), then other JWs.
If you want to know how it feels to have a "personal relationship with Jehovah" all you have to do is imagine there's an invisible person floating over you. Talk to it all the time and give it credit when things go well and blame something else when things go wrong.

I have a friend who is a Dr Who fan. He told me there's an episode where the Dr (Tom Baker) is given the chance to kill an infant Hitler. The Dr flatly refuses as it's still murder. I agree with that. However, the moment Adolf is about to give orders to end lives then he should be taken out.
I think under this condition i would be willing to kill the moment they decide to commit to their plan... as they're on their way to the Manchester Arena with a bag of explosives.
