I have a relative who always says "if I am wrong it will be no loss because I have lived a clean life but if the world is wrong it will cost them their lives.". She credits the truth with her giving up smoking etc so it is the best life ever for her.

"Even if this wasn't the truth, I would still stay. This is the best life to live..."
by HereIgo ini was recently told this by a jw family member when trying to get through to them.
does this quote indicate that maybe such ones have considered that the jw's may not have the truth after all?
or is that just my wishful thinking?

Paranoid why the coordinator's wife is soft shunning me
by Isambard Crater infor the past six months the coordinator's wife has definitely been avoiding me, turning her back or walking away when i walk in her direction, giving me a stare at other times.
if i try to make casual conversation with her, she literally walks away or just looks through me until someone else comes to talk to her.. i can only think of one reason, which is that she may have seen me give a car ride to a disfellowshipped person months ago.
i mean, it would be totally random if she happened to spot me on this one short journey, but it's possible.

I agree that letting it bother you gives her all the power. Say hello when you see her, smile and walk away. She is one person and of no consequence to you. If she did see you give the DF person a ride then it is up to her to say something to you - according to proper scriptural principle - until then you can ignore her behaviour and carry on as normal.

First Girlfriend first kiss
by TerryWalstrom infirst girlfriend first kisswho was my 1st girlfriend?.
the first girl i took notice of in any real sense of "notice" was a brunette named robbie.. i was in first grade, so i must have been six-years-old.. i had no idea why this particular girl caught my neurons and trapped them.
adolescence was a thousand miles away so it couldn't have been a sex attraction.

Anyone recall someone disfellowshipped for gluttony???
by James Mixon ingluttony seems to be a sin that jw's like to ignore .there are several scriptures that point out that gluttony is a sin, proverbs 23:20-21 "do not join those who gorge themselves on meat".....also i read somewhere that 1% is the number of disfellowshipped jw's each year......how do prove someone is a glutton and not just a person who love food???
?.

Never heard of a person being DF for gluttony but a friend's husband was told he would not be made an elder because his wife was overweight and therefore she must be a glutton. Small minded judgemental twat! People can become overweight for reasons other than food.

There is always one!
by Isambard Crater ini am pimo but attended the r.c yesterday for family pressure reasons.
a "sister" i've not seen for a while told me her husband is overjoyed because a man he called on recently in the field service suddenly told him he wanted to attend the r.c.
the unusual thing is, this man is a millionaire having built a property portfolio.

JW Kids Bullying My Daughter
by pale.emperor intrying not to type swearwords as i write this so bare with me.. my little 3yo attends meetings with her jw mum (who doesn't believe watchtower anymore but is stuck in because she relies on her family for help).
my mum (the one who tells people im dead) had a party for her grandchildren.
that's my 4 nieces and 1 nephew aged from 3yo-11yo.

Wow! Your ex is still in. Going to the meetings and taking her daughter with her and THIS is how the loving congregation including the "oh so spiritual" Nana choose to treat the ones "related to them in the faith"?
Shouldn't they be doing the opposite? Love bombing them to help see how loving they are and that they have the truth?
They have opened the door to the way out and are adding a boot showing their true colours and what is worse they think that this is how God wants them to be.
I hope your ex has some nice "wordly" friends with children. I would throw my own party for her and invite ones that will be your friend regardless of what you or your parents believe.

Another example of the smothering and high control nature of JW husbands
by stuckinarut2 ini have noticed another popular pattern of behaviour amongst witnesses in recent years.. many, and i mean lots of ones with instagram accounts have closed the wife's account, and have started a "couple's" account instead.
also, for families.
the children's accounts have been closed, and the husband starts a "family account".. it is mainly on the husband's device, and seemingly under his control.

I haven't seen anything like that amongst the jw i know. I have a teenager and I have all passwords and access. That is the condition to them having social media accounts.

If you have to do a "school project" together you will have to be able to see each other. That is of course if you have classes together. I know some young ones will face time their school friends and help each other with home work etc.
