My JW Mom came for an impromptu visit yesterday. It went great! :)

by Faithful Witness in

it is so nice to start actually believing that my mom wants to have a relationship with me and my kids again.

there was awhile, where it was in question, and she wasn't sure if she was supposed to associate with us or not.

i think the stand that my sister has taken against me, is actually causing my mom to start doubting whether it is a good idea to follow this cruel example of "love" as defined by the watchtower.

Faithful Witness aka Faithful Daughter... You sound like a daughter any parent would be so proud of.

I appreciate hearing how articulate and sincere you are with the JW's and your Mom.

Talking to your Mom while she is doing crafts with her grandchild, is as the poster Jgnat says to do, talking to a loved one, when they are not in " cult mode". It does seem as though your dear Mom was listening to your logical assessment of the discussion you had with Miss K... and your Mom came up with the correct follow through thinking. Yay !

Your Dad, I thought at first, he was so happy to see his daughter and was acting "normal", but I think you probably have an excellent idea if someone is "love-bombing" you or BS'ing you.

I enjoy reading your posts.

I believe your Miss K is getting a "faithful witness" from a Christian Lady, who is not prone to be a drone for anyone.

It is none of my business, but were your parents as mentally awake and aware, as you are, before they got baptized and then something happened, they were lonely, love-bombed, brain washed??? with all the WT dogma, flip - flops, nu -lite, forget old lite, did they get confused and shut their brain down???

I say it with respect to you and them.

Dressing down for the Cult Cart work

by cantleave in

i have just read on another post that those brothers and sisters manning the cult carts are meant to be fully suited and booted, i have seen the brothers wearing jumpers instead of jackets.

is the dress code monitored?.

----->> "A brother wearing a jumper???" What piece of clothing is a man's "jumper"? Sorry, not a UK'er.

GET A CLOSE INSIGHT INTO HOW RUTHERFORD made excuses in Court

by Terry in

we are all familiar with the flip-flop on the generation teaching which, in effect, demonstrates watchtower interpretations do not stand the test of time and must be changed.

the words of god suddenly become the opinions of men, time after time.. the teachings and interpretations of pastor c.t.

russell changed often during his lifetime in regards to dates and pyramid speculations.. next, with judge rutherford, the wildest exaggerations of his imagination were proclaimed to be god's own mind revealed to man in the pages of his many books!.

I hadn't read this before.

Thank you Terry.

Thank you Leoleia.

I am shaking my head in disgust that I believed any of this religion for a minute, let alone, a lifetime...

it's called the opal ring.

i will be posting it in installments, and would like some feedback on it.

LoisLane looking for Superman

Okay Julia, I am here. Where is my next installment... bedtime story???

PS Oh, Aleksandr. I have only read his "The Gulag Archipelago" which I read, at a very difficult time in my life. It helped me to know worse things could have happened to me, so be thankful. I was.

New to The Jehovahs Witness Faith and need some help

by jnjburkett in

jw
friends

hello there i am new to the faith and have been studying for about a month.

i am very excited and hungry for the truth and have not missed a meeting or study since the memorial.

we do about 2 bible studies a week.

LoisLane looking for Superman

Oh Pleaseeeeee do, what ConfusedAndAlone says.

Tell Elder's at the Kingdom Hall you met your JW friends at the Y.... Young Mens Christian Association or YWCA... Young Women Christian Association.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not allowed to go there. Can't swim there. Can't work out there. Can't have a job there.

It is kind of like if you met these people at Bingo, or at a Casino, or the Horse Races, or at a Strip Club or you were all smoking cigarettes hanging out together, or wife-swapping, or at your children's Christmas play at school, or at anyone's Birthday party, or at a Halloween party, or Valentine's party, or at an Office Xmas party, or were neighbor's sharing a box of Fireworks for your children's enjoyment on the 4th of July. ALL of these are forbidden and considered disfellowshipping offenses.

JW literature says these are ALL not allowed.

Do you think going to the "Y" is sinful??? It is viewed that way. In Watch Tower language by going there you are "touching" the unclean thing. Bad, very bad, worldly association. Also known as "interfaith". Being around "worldly" people aka normal people are bad, in JW.org's narrow view.

If the people who study with you ever went to the "Y" once, in any regular congregation, worldwide, they would be viewed as bad association, if not outright disfellowshipped . . The area or congregation that you are now associating with could be a renegade one where many underhanded things, might be taking place.

This is not good for you jnj . These people are not who you think they are.

LoisLane looking for Superman

Hello jnj ... A lot of good hearted people have responded to you.

Do you understand that your freedom of thought, expression, clothing style, music, movies, associating with "worldly" people, family members, is in danger of disappearing?

You are not even allowed to buy Girl Scout cookies. Did you know that?

Jw's look down on anyone who goes to University, I kid you not! Did you know that?

What is it these JW's are holding out for you as a carrot???

New "friends" that will drive you for "free" 3 hours to visit your very ill step-father?

I know normal people that would do that, and I do not have to "join' their religion.

Jw's count "time" on you (think Brownie points). They counted all the time driving you in the car, at the hospital, and every minute they spend with you. You represent a gold mine of "time" for them.

Did you really think you had made instant "friends"??? Well, did you?

In JWLand having a "Bible" (Watch Tower publications, only) study gives JW's status in the Kingdom Hall. It gives them status at their Circuit Assemblys and also at their District Convention. It gives your study conductor bragging points.

You are cha - ching , hours of time, they are counting on you.

You are "studying" Watch Tower publications twice a week???

Cha-ching, cha-ching. Oh, you are a gold mine of time, they can easily count on you. Did you know that?

Cha-ching, cha-ching. Maybe we can take her shopping??? Cha-ching, cha-ching.

You sound like a dear, earnest, sweetheart, caring human being.

My advice, my 2 cents worth is , run as fast as you can. Hold all your family members close to you and let them know how much you love them and do not let anything or anybody get in the way of that.

LoisLane

PS Please keep in touch with us here on JWN and let us know how your Life is going for you.

Take care and I hope your step-father is better soon.

1984 WT cover, 1914 Gen That Will Not Pass -- How many of 16 alive today?

by FatFreek 2005 in

those people on that cover were supposed to represent a group of people that would still live on into the new order.

in your best guess, how old were most of those 16 people at the time the photo was taken, and how many do you suppose are still alive today?.

remember, that wt was printed in 1984, nearly 27 years ago.

LoisLane looking for Superman

I was a JW.org drone.

I believed the ridiculous lies... P eople are not going to die??? Children should listen to JW .o rg and not get a blood transfusion when deemed it will save their little precious lives?

I placed the May 15, 1984 Watchtower, who's cover now contains all dead people.

I placed the Awake with all dead children on it's cover.

I don't like gruesome stuff.

I don't like liars.

I don't like JW.org.

Sent cover design to a publisher and they liked it

by nugget in

i was asked by a friend to design a book cover for her book of poems and finally after 3 designs found one she was happy with.

the publishers sent me a lovely response and asked if they could pass my details on to anyone who wanted cover art as i was obviously a professional.

was both surprised and delighted.

Beautiful work, Nugget. You should be so proud of yourself.
