I like the sincerity of Ray Franz. Reading two of his books so far has given us an outlook that we wished we could of seen years ago.

The Meeting Clothes I Left Behind
by dobby inthis past weekend my husband and son and i went to stay with my jw in-laws.. it was a pleasant weekend.
they were a little subdued this weekend, i think the assembly got to them and they seemed less open to discussing our feelings about the wt.. a very interesting thing happened as we packed to go on sunday morning.
i was in the guest room folding clothes into our suitcase when my father-in-law tapped on the door.

dobby, i hang on to my receipts, I had 3 dresses from Sears bought last year that I was able to take back with tags still on. though, it depends on where you get them. they could also be donated or brought to a consignment shop.

Thank You WatchTower!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by roybatty infor several weeks now ive been a little distraught that my jw, ex-wife will be taking our kids to the service meeting and have them listen the wts propaganda on how to view and treat dad & dfd individuals.
not only because of the possible negative effect it may have on my relationship with them but also the fact that they are being taught to hate a certain group of people.
my ex and i have made it a point never to talk negative about the other to the kids.

Hang in there, you are really in a tough spot,
keep sharpening your sword with reference materials,
and in time they will see the hypocrisy. Mine have.

Birthdays & the Cult of the Diminished Indi...
by joelbear inyesterday was my birthday.
i got greetings from a number of friends from here in atlanta and also from people who had never met me from around the world since my birthday announcement was carried on a couple of the central bear pages on the internet.. there is clearly no prohibition against birthdays in the bible.
the reason the watchtower prohibits birthday celebrations is the same reason they discourage college, extracurricular activities in school, etc.

i never really understood the anniversary thing being ok to celebrate but not birthdays.
Because birthday means an anniversary of this day.

Did you experience favouritism at meetings?
by haujobbz in.
as former jw i did witness favouritism towards elders and circuit overseers and also noticed how low status j-dubs actually lined up to speak to the circuit/overseers wife.even outside association seemed to be confined to say elders associating with elders etc.
i remember when even a sister gave a glass of water to a coughing circuit.overseer but i noticed she never did this to others in the hall.. then for instance how many at the hall formed groupies after meetings not making any effort to gell with others,i felt so sorry for those just sitting on there own.. so why do they act like this, it beats me because a lot of literature and talks focused on not being impartial to others,were they really taking it in or was it a question of congregation status or favouritism towards others.. also outside the meetings association didnt seem to exist and only confined to a certain favoured individuals.

At ours, there were a lot of relatives, glad my boys didn't make any true friendships, Also if you are a huge football fan for the state and could put out the catered parties they really loved you.

I told a MS EVERYTHING today!
by meat pie inthis old chap is quite sweet really, and i wasn't going to say anything much.i studied with him and his daughter and they are neighbours, but there was just us two in my house (!
) and it all came pouring out.i get sick of the 'when are you coming back'...'what else is there'... where else would you go' questions, and i don't even know what started it, it was a bit of a blur, i went on for at least an hour and 'brought out the following points'.
have you had your new blood card yet?

I'm sure they'll try again at a later date after they learn new parrot lines. Just tell them your happy not to be associated with a pedophile (or bloodguilty) place.
