my wife is a moderate jw, me i am agnostic.
she can "offer" eternal life on earth, which is difficult to top.
first i told him, that there is actually no proof for what his mother tells him.
My daughter wanted to talk about death when she was three or four. I just remember telling her people go to sleep and don't wake up. I agree with you we don't have any proof what happens either way. She seemed ok with that one chat and didn't raise the subject again so maybe your son won't. I don't know what she believes now she's twenty but that's her business.
The next thing when he's about five will be questions about God. Fun isn't it 😄
i hope everyone here is well and staying strong x .
another year, another year with no armageddon.. i have noticed the jw pals and family become more frenzied of late, small things in the news wind them up and make them more hysterical than ever.
the events in paris were horrendous, but to a jw they mean the end is near...........why wasn't it near when chechnya was in the shit?
i know this has been mentioned before, that words at the ends of lines are continually being cut in half and hyphenated.
i think a suggestion was made and if i could find the thread i would follow it but it may have been removed, i've gone back in 'forum related' topics several months.. i can see it's not just me that it happens to and i have been trying to ignore it because life is too short and all that.
i'm just starting to find it really annoying now.

absolutely disgusting!.

How on earth do they reconcile this nonsense with the fact that there are women premiers of countries, women scientists, chief execs., lawyers, doctors, surgeons, college lecturers, explorers.....?
WTF! How does anyone swallow this crap. It doesn't make any sense when you live on a planet surrounded by thousands of women doings the above jobs. So they can run a company, a university, a science department and even a country but their brains are too small to be head of the house? Never, when I was in did I hear anyone trying to get away with saying illogical things like this. Women please wake up and get out of this cult that hates your gender!
so i'm loving the fact that my little one gets to be a "normal" child and take part in everything at school.
however i still have that stupid niggling in the back of my head that she shouldn't be doing it and it's wrong etc.
at the moment she is rehearsing for the nativity play and keeps singing the songs at home (she is going to be an angel!
It's been 17 months so I guess I still have some healing to do. - FeelingFree
I don't think you're lagging behind. We didn't do Christmas the first year we were out because we didn't want to feel we were swapping one lot of customs/beliefs for another lot.
But on the second Xmas when we had been out almost two years we did buy a tree and give each other cheap chocolate and second hand books because we didn't want to join in the ridiculous commercialisation.
Do it your way, whatever feels right. From then on we didn't get feelings of guilt about it so please don't worry that it takes decades, you're nearly there.

Aw I still have lovely memories of my little girl looking beautiful as an angel with tinsel around her long blond hair in the nativity play at school. Don't worry about your daughter, she'll have a great time. It's just fun to them at that age, play-acting. My daughter is an atheist now, even though she was Mary in one nativity play at school. We have to let them join in to feel a normal part of human society but if you don't take them to church or continue talking about religion it all just fades away as part of their childhood. Just as its part of humanity's childhood.
The negative feelings you have from joining in with the holidays will fade. It's just the cult programming being triggered. Remember the brain is programmed by learning that some things are good and other things are dangerous. Depending on who tells us about the nature of the danger of course! It's an evolutionary survival mechanism. If you don't keep reinforcing the programming it does fade gradually and your authentic self will take over as you make positive decisions to do things you truly want to do. Have fun!
i have been looking into this issue that (many/most/all/etc) ufos are caused by demons as seems to be said by jws.
some time ago when i browsed this site i read a posting where someone recommended a book titled "the dark gods" by roberts and gilbertson (here is a link to the book at amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/dark-gods-anthony-roberts/dp/009138771x).. besides that one there are a couple of other books that i have checked (one of these is "operation trojan horse" by john keel and the other one is "a guide to the paranormal" by magnus raven).
both of these say the same thing although they approach this issue from different directions.. looking at the amazon reviews for "the dark gods" it looks like it also says the same thing but the book is out of print.

the gestapo body, brought out a brochure, i believe it was called return to jehovah.
in it they gave 3 reasons why some-one left the borganization.
if i remember 1 was because the person is angry at some one in the cong, or something along those lines.
