I feel so angry!
by Ellie in.
not really much point to this except i want to vent some anger but yesterday my little brother came round to my house for lunch, he is studying and living at the house of my jw sister, i myself have never been baptized so am not disfellowshipped but they all (with the exception of my little brother) treat me as though i where.. anyway, my little brother came round for lunch and the next thing my jw mum phones my house, asks to speak to my brother and gives him a telling off for being at my house because i'm bad association, and tells him that he has to spend more time with the members of the congregation.. he tries to explain to her that the members of the congregation don't want to know him, that he is sick of making an effort to be friendly with them when they just ignore him.. anyway, it finished with her telling him he is to go straight back to my sisters house and not see me again.. he is 24 years of age, surely its up to him if he wants to come to my house!.
sorry, i know there is no point to this, but i just wanted to let off some steam!

You are the World and the World is You :)
by frankiespeakin ini've read over and over again in mystic writings this basic idea about "oneness" is that "you" are the world, you are making the sun shine,, you are everything and hence the world is you.
everything in space time is an illusion of the mind and thought,,, and that there is this nonfragmentary consciousness of it all, that is nothing like the the fragmentary nature of human thought.

Hi
I have been reading the Conversation with God books by neale walsch,does anyone here agree with these words.
Five Steps to Peace.
1)We acknowledge that certain old beliefs about Life and about God are no longer working.
2)We acknowledge that there is something we do not understand about God and about Life,the understanding of which could change everthing.
3)We are willing for new understanding of God and life to now be brought forth,understandings that could produce a new way of Life on this planet.
4) We are willing to explore and examine these new understandings,and,if they align with our inner truth and knowing,to enlarge our belief system to include them.
5)We are willing to live our lves as a demonstration of our beliefs.
Thanks for reading.

Hi Diamond
In reply to your post concerning spirirtualism,they do not worship demons or devils,i investigated spiritualism many years ago and i found a truth there that i found nowhere else.
There churches are light and airy and the atmosphere is calming and tranquill,the people are genuinely loving and kind,on the walls of the church you will find the words LOVE,TRUTH and LIGHT,you will also find the 7 principles that they live by.
1) The Fatherhood of God
2)The Brotherhood of Man
3)the Communion of Spirit and the Ministry of Angels
4)The Continous existence of the Human Soul
5)Personal Responsibility
6)Compensation and Retribution hereafter for all the good and evil deeds done on Earth
7) Eternal Progress open to every human Soul.
Didn't people hear voices in bible days,didn't angels appear to the people didn't prophets go into trance states,read the bible again,the church supressed this knowledge for there own power, chose what they wanted people to believe and demonized the rest.Much like the watchtower really and the rest of organised religion.

disfellowshipping children
by QCA1 inawhiile back i posted telling you about my grandson whos mother hit him for not saying grace before a meal ( he is 15yrs old ) he has been hit on many occasions,he hates being a witness and is forced to go to the hall by his mother.
my grandson phoned us on the day his mother had hit him,he was sobbing down the phone to us and said he wanted to come and stay with us, i said yes and that i would fetch him, anyway his mum and dad have had nothing to do with me since despite me writing to them expressing how much i love my grandchildren and that i wish to see them,i have had no reply.. the other day my grandson phoned and said to my younger son that he is leaving home when he is 16 and can he come and stay with us,of course i said yes.
what i need to know is will he be disfellowshipped for living with his grandma ( i am not a jw ) of course i know what this will mean for him,his brothers and parents will shun him.. as for me what else can i do to see my grandchildren.

As for me what else can i do to see my grandchildren. I love them dearly and i am angry at my son and his wife for treating me this way, i feel i have done nothing wrong except show concern for my grandson and i won't say sorry for that,what i have said sorry for in the letter is the fact that they saw it as interfering.
thanks for listening

QCA1
hello lonelymom
My eldest son married a witness girl, within a few years he succumbed also, it was inevitable my first grandson his first child would be bought up in their faith.
I recall saying to my grandson (when he was 4 i think) happy birthday darling and he turned to me and said nanna i don't have birthdays, i was gutted and angry at my son.So i started on the trail of finding out about this so called religion that was about 11yrs ago now and what i found appalled me.
Birthdays stopped, visiting regular stopped but i never stopped inviting them over for birthday celebrations or family weddings, even invite them over for boxing day every year and they came,relationships are strained at the moment with them but i won't stop trying. Keep communication open as much as you can. I am thinking about you,i was thinking about putting an add in the newspaper getting all non-witness families together who have children in the org, but i would have to do it very discretely. What do you think
