what is it like to be a jehovah’s witness family living in ireland?.

adherence to biblical strictures provides a solid base in an increasingly secular society.

The Amish community are hell-raisers compared to JW's!

Congregation Reassignments in Ohio?

by My Name is of No Consequence in

from what i understand, a letter was read this past week in regards to congregation reassignments and that the elders want to meet with people at their homes to tell them where they have been reassigned.

obviously, this would be due to the merging and dissolution of congregations.

can anyone confirm this?.

The Fall Guy

The "personal touch" may be getting invoked to prevent potentially outspoken "evict-ims" (see what I did there?) from causing a scene when they read the letter on the notice board.

I distinctly remember years ago the distress voiced by some when the book-study groups were "re-arranged."

Apostasy Movie

i found it extremely accurate, and as such, not a pleasant experience.

merely reinforced my certainty regarding the org's venomous teachings & practices.. a very well made film for non-jw's to get a good insight into the minds & attitudes of the cult and its members, but not really one i'd urge faders to go and see.

victim returning to the scene of the crime scenario.. opinions will differ..

So I went to see my dad give a talk

by StephaneLaliberte in

i have to say that it was quite a strange feeling.

for many years that i was in, i had to do a lot of pretending with various teachings i personally didn’t believe in.

still, i believed in some foundation and went for that.

The Fall Guy

You did well Stephane. Who knows what seeds you may have sown.

Excellent links Perry. Thanks for those.

Former2free bio and intro

by former2free in

oh where to begin i am a born in witness witness mother and father and grandparents though only 2 of the 4. i was born in the early 80’s and immediately my parents faced the blood transfusion issue course in their minds at the time it wasn’t an issue it was not gonna happen.

i don’t wanna go into too much detail but fortunately it worked out well as is evidenced by my writing of this back story.

i had the usual spiritual goals that most witness children have i got baptized at 13 then i started running mics and doing sound and giving more talks.

Welcome F2F. I'm sure you'll gain a lot of help and encouragement from many on the forum who can relate to your experiences.

Am I being unreasonable with my pimo boyfriend?

by Addison0998 in

i was very lucky to have be dating somebody who didn’t run and snitch on me when i started having questions and showing him research i did, instead he listened to me, and after a few arguements, he did wake up as well.

it really didn’t take much to wake him up, and he was more just tired of the crazy witnesses in general.

and now we are planning on getting married and fading together so that our families can at least enjoy our wedding, that special time in life, before we possibly loose them one day.

The Fall Guy

Hi ADDISON, good advice so far. Take it easy and don't say too much to anyone - for your own benefit.

You have a PM.

All the best.

Paranoia at Britain Branch?

by The Fall Guy in

i just 'phoned britain branch and asked to speak to someone in the public information department.

it looks like the days of questioning the branch over the 'phone are a thing of the past.. here is the substance of my conversation with the sister who answered the telephone:.

operator: "what sort of information, please - is it a legal question or an accounting or construction question?".

The Fall Guy

YOU'RE probably right!
