  My mother has been inactive for the past 5 years and she never stopped talking to me after I DA'd. She is shunned by the JWs when she sees them out in public. They see her and look the other way, except for Memorial season when they stop by and leave an invitation. She has never been asked to attend a JC nor has any elder contacted her about her "spirituality".

  "Count the years you always knew it; Strike a match go on and do it" Sunny Came Home - Shawn Colvin

  New blood joins this earth
  And quickly he's subdued
  Through constant pain disgrace
  The young boy learns their rules
  
  With time the child draws in
  This whipping boy done wrong
  Deprived of all his thoughts
  The young man struggles on and on
  
  He's known
  Oooh a vow unto his own
  That never from this day
  His will they'll take away What I've felt
  What I've known
  Never shined through in what I've shown
  Never be
  Never see
  Won't see what might have been

  What I've felt
  What I've known
  Never shined through in what I've shown
  Never free
  Never me
  So I dub thee unforgiven - Unforgiven Metallica

  so, i have missed 4 sunday meetings now for different reasons mainly fatigue cause i'm still in school and i'm up late almost everynight.

  anyways..the lady i study with decides to harass the house with relentless phone calls disturbing my mum (who doesnt like jws) for the last 3 days.

  she finally got through to me today because she called super early (before 7).

  Loved the prayer at the end. Not surprised that the elders blamed human imperfection rather than watchtower policy for the congragants' shunning you. Thank you for making this video and showing this side of the JW culture.

  Did You Know A Lot Of Elders That Simply Weren't Too Bright?

  We had one named Jose. He was the book study conductor and couldn't read to save his life. He also had no time management skills so we would never get through the required paragraphs. He had an awful memory too, couldn't remember what he ate for breakfast but he was supposed to tell you how to raise your kids, save your marraige, stay faithful blah blah blah. Had another one that went 25 minutes over his 15 minute KM part due to stuttering. Anyone with boy parts became an elder regardless of intellect, public speaking skills or leadership skills.

  We did have two extremely intelligent and faithful elders. In the end they stepped down in their 80's and went home to wait to die. Both were discouraged and disgusted by what they saw in the KH.

  I knew one servant who hanged himself in the woods. He suffered from depression and on top of the two of his children were disfellowshipped. One of them lived at home with him and the congregation blamed his disfellowshipped son living with him as the cause. Idiots.

  Eric Reeder's Memorial?

  by NeverKnew in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've seen the insulting obituary and like all of you, i'm blown away.. i've also seen several threads of individuals crying out for an opportunity to meet with others on this board.

  maybe it's time to recognize the need for an assembly (if you will) to foster a familial relationship for those on this board!.

  what if a memorial were planned, in eric's honor of course, for a weekend next september in north carolina?
