  My Reverse-Shunning Letter To My Mother

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i mailed the below letter to my mother a few weeks ago.

  i did share it on the ex-jw facebook group but thought i'd post it here.. basically, she's shunned me since day 1, has little or nothing to do with my 3yo daughter and told my sister "i hope <my daughter> becomes a jw when she's older so i can welcome her into the family".

  well, that was the last straw for me..

  Great letter, and i think she will read it all the way thru in the privacy of her home. She will feel bad for doing so, but curiosity will get the best of her no doubt.

  so as of july 2nd my wife delivered by c-section our little one pound, three ounce daughter izabella.

  it was a very scary night that started with a decel and turned into multiple decels that greatly concerned the doctors.

  by early morning they felt the need to take her for her safety.

  I got a kick out of how they talked about first century "elders" and the "governing body" in the first centuy. No where does the bible talk about either of these men does it? They apply their new school words to the old school bible to manipulate peoples thinking.

  Also someone made a comment about the opening picture and how some had beards and others did not, and how they were supposed to be accepting of that. Funny how no one accepts anyone with a beard today though.

  The argument that it won't look good on your body at 70 or 80 years old.......well, nothing will look that good on your body at that point :)

  KISS - Knights In Satan's Service

  by Funchback in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  growing up as a jw, i was told that kiss stood for knights in satan's system (or service).. i just did a google search and learned it's not true.

  it's actually not an acronym for anything.. to be honest, apparently it's not just the jws who believe it means something related to satan.. http://www.snopes.com/music/hidden/kiss.asp.

  one day paul [stanley] and peter [criss] and i were driving around, brainstorming for new names.

  What "Rules" Did The Elders In Your KH Make?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some congregations were known as liberal and others were considered very conservative.

  back in the 1970s a nearby congregation made all speakers who gave public talks a white shirt to wear.

  if a speaker came in wearing anything but white they were brought into the library and were given a white shirt!

  We were counseled for hanging out with another witness couple too often, even though everyone was in good standing and for going to a bar (they didn't call it a bar though, they referred to it as a place with a "long thing") Ha, such morons.

  Witnessing to two JW elders

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was approached by two jehovah’s witness elders who handed me a pamphlet advertising the jw .org website.

  each man carried a bible and an apple ipad.

  they told me that they enjoyed visiting with people about the bible, and asked if i was a bible reader.

  Awesome job. You are every witnesses worst nightmare at the door lol. I hated getting people that knew their bible, and you know it better than 99% of witnesses!

  Jehovah's Witnesses denial of what they are supposed to believe from Watchtower

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the most frustrating things.

  when you confront jw's about what they believe they will often deny it.

  such as "if your child is disfellowshipped then you can't have contact with them ever again".

  I know when i was in i was embarrassed to tell someone some of the beliefs because they seem too crazy or over the top. They don't want it to sound too strict because that would turn people away, so they for sure water down what they believe.
