well, you all seem to have moms in the "truth"..... my mom isn't, never was and was unhappy i became one.
but then she came around to accept it and not have a bad view of jws.. now i am df'd and she was madder than a hornet.
even called one of the elders and gave him a piece of her mind.
Hey simplesally congratulations! I'm really happy for you. It feels wonderful to give your child a happy birthday doesn't it?
I remember how excited I was when I got birthdays back, they were jerked away when I was 8 and I was thrilled to get them back! One good thing about missing all those birthdays though . . .
I'm remarkably youthful!

"I hear tell the organizations thinking about banning smoking, Sister!"
"No way! They wouldn't do that to us, if I tried to quit I'd probly crack up!"

We'll see if this works . . . (there should be a pictue of the guys looking at the bible)
"Gezunheit! Brother . . . my that looks like a nasty sinus infection!
why does the organization disfellowship homosexuals when tho homosexuality is against 'biblical' mores it is not illegal and it is an issue involving consenting adults .
.. whereas pedophilia is not only illegal and immoral by societal and biblical standards but is an act of the worst kind of assault inflicted on an innocent helpless child by an accountable adult?.
just wondering... raven101.
Would like to add a story that sad posts about emotional neglect in the congregations had me thinking about last night;
A sister in the congregation I attended once told me bitterly about her dead son.
He had been raised a witness but had been disfellowshipped because he was gay, she said he had gone out into the world and he had gotten infected with HIV, he later came back to the 'truth' and died at home with her.
She was sad and bitter but she talked like he more or less got what he deserved (from a biblical standpoint, she obviously loved her son) . . . and I'll never forget how she summmed it up . . .
"He came back to the truth but he was too sick to preach , he couldn't even DO ANYTHING for Jehovah!"
Even though I had either been actively in the organization or actively believing it was the truth at that point in my life I was very disturbed at her attitude and how whe felt obligated to feel.
I remember wondering why she felt an Omnipotent god needed a human to
DO ANYTHING for him.
glad to get that off my chest

yet allow pedophilia
never cared to bother before, thought it was rather funny that they still had someone on the books who been studying diverse religions and belief systems .
read tarot cards etc.. but the last week or so that i have been a member here, reading all the horrible, atrocious, unpardonable behaviour toward family members the organization encourages toward df'd da'd family members .
remembering throught you alls related experiences the deep-seated damaging fear they instilled into my life .

reading some of their illogical manipulative propaganda, hearing it in the 'societies' words for the first time in a long time, first time since I was blinded by unquestioning ignorance I was indoctrinated into.
I'm considering writing them and telling them how and why my eyes were opened.
What do y'all think? Any input welcome. . .

when the buggalorians arrive to put our race into the glorious chains of enlightened slavery, you will wish that you listened to me.

is the turning of people from the clergy to the psychiatrists a healthy phenomenon?

my daughter is interested in posting on here, but there doesn't seem to be any other pint sized exjw's around.
anyone out there have kids that would like to post with her or possibly be pen pals?.
she is 7 years old but is at a 3rd grade reading and comprehension level so any kids up to 10 or so might like to correspond with her...... anyway just a thought...
My daughter (10) will undoubtedly love the idea. I don't see why it should be a problem at all, maybe just preface the posts KIDS: or something so there is no Q? as to the content.
