  The problem is that when the JW's are told by other JW's the real truth about the WTS, many refuse to listen, accuse others of being apostates, deliberately cause emotional hurt on their family members by shunning, DF, etc. In turn, these actions leads to marraige and family breakups and breakdowns.

  It is when these things take place that the JW's and the WTS become interchangeble, and both are blamed.

  I have many family members that I love who are still active Dubs. But they have refused to listen to those of us who realize the real truth about the WTS and subsequently have shunned us and caused family and emotional hurt. They would rather listen and be controlled by the WTS. As much as I love those family members, I can with a clean conscience lop them together with the WTS and blame both.

  Once you have told an active JW the real truth about what is and has been going on within the WTS and they refuse to listen, etc.- they have become interchangeble with the WTS wrongdoings and sins.

  Case closed.

  Just my opinion.

  still considering going back to meetings...

  not that i want to or anything, but this therapist guy seems to think that it would be really helpful to my wife.

  he says to pull out the good and ignore what you dont like, and that supporting my wife a bit in this way could be good for us as a couple.

  it could also let us have at least some shot at keeping the old social life alive.

  Gilberto:

  I agree. I was the first the be against the things going on in the cong and org. My husband knew my concerns and feelings, but we still went to the meetings and assemblies together.

  Eventually my husband saw the real org for what it was and decided it wasn't for him also. He removed himself as a MS, we both removed ourselves from working on the quick build committes, stopped field service and aux pioneering. So now we are both actually faders and out and only sometimes go to the meetings and an occassional assembly day just to keep informed.

  No harm done.

  My mother is from the South and we children got beat on occassion with belts, ironing cords, switches.

  Not one of us hates our mother or our late father. Not one of us has ever been in jail or criminal activity.

  Beatings do not resolve all discipline problems, but we learned respect for elders and authority and that we were to treat persons with dignity and kindness. Not to steal or lie, etc. And we certainly learned to watch our mouths and speak properly at a young age- not cursing and vulgar language.

  Your son did an excellent job in responding to his mother and your ex-wife.

  Unfortunately, she has 'drank the kool-aid' and probably will not change her views.

  Megan back in Hospital

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  she's gone back into the hospital again, complaining of her symptoms worsening (they said get in if that happens) so a long couple of days turns into what is going to be a nightmare week, hopefully she gets out tomorrow.

  i'm alright but things are difficult without real support.

  megans mum is a clown, megans stupid brother tried messing with meg's mums head by asking if she was sure if i didnt push megan off the ladders (good job he lives in ireland) - then she has the cheek to tell me today he asked after megan, who hates him for the abuse she suffered (sexual unfortunately) when she was just 12 and he was 18. my mum and stepdad are being as helpful as they can, but when your alone at night with a crying baby and your stressed out about everything from moving, megans health, your own and financial situation it does make you realise just what the wife/mum has to manage.

  Sorry to hear she's back in the hospital, but it is better where they can monitor her symptoms, etc.

  This is a rough week for you both and baby-please hang in there.

  Hoping Megan recovers soon.

  My husband and I go once or twice a month.

  It doesn't hurt or bother us because we know the real deal with the org.

  We take what we hear from the platform with a 'grain of salt'.

  The Bible will never change. So sitting in a meeting reading the scriptures will not hurt.

  Mr. Flippers Son Anti-Witnesses to his Fanatic Witness Mother

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, my 22 year old son called me this morning and said his witness mom, my ex, sent him this website link- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,313683,00.html .

  it is an artcicle about a 14 year old witness boy with leukemia who died because of refusing a blood transfusion.

  doctors said he would have had a 70 % chance of surviving to live a normal life if he had accepted blood.

  SIGH... Mother troubles again...

  by Elyse867 in

  2. friends

  so i opened up my laptop last night, to check my email and such, and my mom had obviously just checked hers... she was still logged on, which has never happened before.

  i felt like i needed to look in her emails, which is not something i would normally do, as i hold privacy as something sacred.

  as some of you know, my mom lives with my hubby, me, and my kids.

  I have to agree with WingCommander:

  Let your mom know that you sense or feel that she is not really happy living with your family and that you feel you are a spiritual hindrence to her.

  Also, let her know that you feel she could really use her own space and privacy and would be willing to help her find a place of her own. Also state that you are certain others in the cong, since they are so loving, will assist her in any way they can.

  This way you will be showing her still love and respect and also finding a resolution to your situation.

  Megan is in Hospital...

  in a sense its my fault, i made her take a look in the loft to see what she wanted me to take down.

  anyway while she was perched on top of the ladder, she slipped back and banged her head/neck/back.

  she is ok, up, smiling and joking compared to before when things looked quite serious.

  So sorry to hear about Megan.

  Please give her lot's of hugs from us and take good care of her when she gets home.

  From a medical standpoint, please watch her carefully even if she is being discharged. Any continous headaches or breathing problems, ear on the side of caution and take her back to the hospital.
