To all my congregation Elders :
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthank you for coming to my house so often because you were so concerned about me missing so many meetings.. ( actually, the only time you visited was when the circuit and district overseers were in town.
you really showed them how concerned you were about your sheep.
i now know that it is more of a duty than a concern.).

is it possible to raise good kids with out religious morals?
by Princess Ashe inmaking up my mind on how to teach my son values in life seems to be an on going struggle of what is right and wrong.
being raised in a sheltered jw life until after leaving high school seems like going from one extreme to another of being over restrictive or under.
trying to find that balance.

And situations that most people have gone thru that I never faced, I wont be able to know what my child is even going thru, if that makes any since. Is anymore else going thru this or gone thru this?

Advice on fading needed
by wallievase inthese 2 options are before me right now-.
1. write a letter to the elders and my family, not da myself but basically saying i have too much going on in my life and am confused, so that they will stop bothering my wife and stop asking me questions all the time.
after i write the letter continue to go to the hall less and less.... 2. appease my wife.

every family will handle things differently when it comes to some one leaving. I thought my mom would stop talking to me after I faded but she still does, well it took awhile but she came around. I remember over hearing at a witness gathering about another family and one witness said "oh yeah we displayed strong will power and did not talk to one of their family members at all and we were able to welcome him back because of our actions he came back to the meetings"

have you tried confronting your wife? Would you have a support group/friends if you did leave? Personally I would rather fade away then write a letter. When they read that letter its like huge mark of shame on you in the eyes of everyone. Like you premediated to leave. Just fading leaves thin guessing. That maybe you just became overwhelmed. But there is still that possibility you might come back. My husband stopped going and the comments of "we are so proud of you for staying strong and coming on your own" really irritated me more and I just ended up leaving as well

I sure was living in such a sheltered world growing up, hearing about all the thoughts of the teacher and other students.

i was very suprised to hear Fred Franz mentioned in one of the talks on friday, First the speaker starts out that for many decades brother fred franz was a faithful servant annoited here on earth and even served as a part of the governing body but when the turth found him he was a college student studying the deep things in this world so he could be a leader for one of bablyons religions, after hearing the truth he removed himself from all the conections from babylon the great this brought sharp critism ... he told the religous leader i dont care what he thinks this is the truth

on your honeymoon!!!!! Wow that's crazy. My cousin and I were visiting my bro in Cali and we went to the kh we arrived early a few people thought he was the speaker. At the end of the meeting we talked with a few people it. One older lady through me off she inquired if we were kissing cousins. And she hands me like a business card with her information on it and the watchtower symbol (the tower picture) really strange.

better then the book hahaha. I went to see it today. The theater was suprisingly packed. The people in my row were making fun of it. that was entertaining. The nephilim were called the watchers and god was referred as the creator. I didn't notice if there was a rainbow at the end I was distracted by everyone jumping up so quickly to leave before the credits started rolling. I was suprised the movie went as far as showing Noah getting drunk from wine and being naked in front of his sons Gen. 9:21,22. The watchers were angels that came to earth but only because they thought they could come to help the humans. And ended up helping Noah build the ark and once the job was complete you watched the angels go back up into heaven. Hams wife was not able to have children, Methuselah heals her and she goes running off to ham to make a baby. (the lady beside me was like dang he made her horny really horny, I need that) noahs wife mixes herbs together and burns it to make a smoke to keep the animals asleep. The first chapter of genisis is mentioned about the creation of the earth. Did anyone see son of god?

The most disturbing Watchtower quote in 2013.
by never a jw ini am trying to put together the worst of 2013. the first quote that comes to mind is possibly your "favorite" too.
do you have any other disturbing quotes from the publications in the wt?.
elders who are reading this article can draw some useful conclusions from the account we have just considered: (1) the most practical step that we can take to prepare for the coming attack of the assyrian is that of strengthening our faith in god and helping our brothers to do the same.

watching the world in the awake. I read a long time ago mentioned, In Canada a group was going to do research on the effects of porn but they were unable to do so because the could not find a man who never looked at porn. Not disturbing but funny in my opinion.
