Just wanted to say thatyou are very welcome here and I hope you meet lots of new friends and find this to be a place you really enjoy.
I also wanted to let you know that I understand you feeling like you've lost both parents.
I'm sorry and hope things change some day.You will learn alot about JWs here.
Edited to add that I was raised as a JW.
I am not DA or DF'd but I do claim to be a witness anymore.Ranchette

I have thought about this many times.
There were many times I'd be out from 9:00am when meeting for service started-12:00pm when we met back at the hall.
In that time I might speak to two people and the rest were not-at-homes.
We would go on break during that time also, maybe hit a couple of garage sales and would turn in a solid 3 hrs.I wanted to start counting my time as soon as I drug myself out of bed and starting getting ready for service so I did hold back.
Really I did.Anyway when it is all said and done very little of the hrs reported are actual witnessing or preaching time.
After the publisher gets through messing with the time it's all compiled and sent to NY where Bethel does further playing with the numbers.
So I think that all that time counting is just another control tactic WT uses on it's members.

Would Jesus Wear a $10,000 Rolex?
by messenger inthe quote below was mentioned in a silentlambs post of pot calling the kettle black.
*** w90 2/1 25 exposing "the man of lawlessness" ***.
.. 19 the worldliness of some clergy has even been exposed in the media in recent times, as for example the licentious and luxurious life-styles of some tv clergymen.

Henry,
Your breaking your silence accompolishishes nothing.
Messenger asked you those questions because he already knows the answers and is trying to see if you do too.
He asked the questions first.
Just be honest and say you don't know the answers or explain why you can't answer them.

Like many here, my ancesters came to this big melting pot of races called America.
They quickly got down to the business of mixing their genes.
That,I'm sure, was the fun part!!!I really don't know what all I am!
I have heard that I have some English,German,Irish,with a few wild Indians,and some red necks in the mix.I am scared of what I may find out if I look very far into my geneology

MY FATHER HAS BEEN REASSIMULATED!!
by Ranchette inyes, im sick!
my father willingly allowed himself to be reabsorbed by the borg!.
during the time he was dfd and separated from my mother (church lady) i tried to help him see through to the real colors of the organization.. he has not one spiritual bone in his body and never has.. he really didnt want to discuss it.. i was concerned because i knew that between the organization and my mom he just believed he was a bad person who would be destroyed at armageddon.

Thanks for the hugs and here's some for you.
Sorry about your sister.I am not going to give up hope but I'm not going to hold my breath either.
Things can always change and as messed up as my family is it probably will at some point.Ashi,
Thanks for the encouragement, kind words, and advice.Out4good3,

Wow you saw through to my moms favorite weapon and control tactic!
You must have experience with this kind of person.Blue Sapphire
I HATE, DETEST, ABHOR this wicked and twisted excuse for a religion.
I feel the same way because of how much we have lost and how even after leaving it still effects us.It is also a constant battle not to let these feelings get out of hand so that we are robbed of the happiness freedom that we fought so hard for.
William Pen,
I think there are many who go through the motions and stay in this religion for reasons other than true belief,devotion, and faith.
Many will never admit this fact even to themselves.
Everyone,
I forgot to tell you how I came to find about my dad being reinstated.
About a week ago my sister called up very upset and crying.
My dad deserted her to go back to mom back in October and now after all this time he calls her to give her this piece of news and she is the one DF'd and I am not.How weird is this?!!!!
My parents want her to come back and my mom has been warning her not to let me influence her with my apostate ideas.
My sister feels abandoned by them the same as I do so she is feeling closer to me now.
