Every time I see JW women I can't get over the length of the dresses, they're getting longer every year.

The 'anointed' woman who always wore purple. Her home was also purple, carpets, curtains, sofas.
The couple, he was a MS, who thought the devil made us all physically ill.
A woman who thought a JW man was visiting her in spirit form at night and raping her. I know because it was my husband she accused before we met.

I wish he would just play the recording of the talk. I can't listen to this guy for an hour and eleven minutes. His mind and speech are so slow.

Just take your time and celebrate only if you want to. Christmas has become way too commercialized but you don't have to go along with that. We didn't do Xmas the first year. Expensive presents that get you in debt are stupid. Do whatever you want. No one's going to disfellowship you if you dont't join in.

Hi Spacegirl. If I've read this correctly you've given up your career and moved to be with your husband. He doesn't want to have children because there are paedophiles in his family!
I find this very worrying. You seem to be required to give up everything for him, career, children, now your Christmas tree. You want to be a good wife and think of his needs? I think you've done nothing else but think of his needs. You're in trouble, dear, I'm afraid. I'm really sorry to be so blunt but you seem to be losing yourself here.

"In a human moment before Jehovah grabbed her"
by truthseeker ini often wondered how far back the witnesses had been involved with my family.
my grandmother died at the end of 2013 and while going through her photos we found some of my great-grandmother, dora, who was born in 1901 and died in 1994. there is a photo of dora dated 1946 standing outside her house in east riding, yorkshire.
on the back of the photo her husband had written "in a human moment before jehovah grabbed her".. my great grandfather, who died before i was born, did not like the witnesses.

What a treat to see your family photos and their beautiful drawings and paintings. Also to hear their stories, thank you Truthseeker.

the fir tree stands silently in the corner of our living room: proud, erect, strong.
even unadorned, it is beautiful.

I have read JWFacts and whatever other websites - I will admit I have been shaken a tad by it, but then realise, at the end of the day - most people who are Disfellowshipped have themselves to blame
So you were shaken, then you rationalised it and decided people who no longer believe after being raised in this religion deserve to be shunned even though they lose their entire family. You think only people who disobey the rules get disfellowshipped? Anyone who questions the beliefs gets disfellowshipped.
