I have yet to meet one person that hasn't spoken to their parents, siblings and every childhood friend but x-jws. I am extremely jealous of my never been a jw wife. Yeah they can fight but family always rally together. To see her call friends even from grade school and the love shown lets me know jws are the most f$&@ religion I have come across.

35Does being a "born in" blur parental vs JW issues?
by obfuscatetheobvious inthank you to the many people who have posted their experiences and advice on this site!
i have browsed a few topics but the threads that i seem to gravitate to the most deal with family.
there is certainly a lot that i can relate to in many of the anecdotes i have read.

Just to add. How many have died from suicide? The family is the most basic evolutionary need of all humans. When you are shunned not only by them but every friend you have know since birth isn't that policy also to blam? Or some lead to believe they are good as dead and began abusing drugs or a risky life style that also ended these poor souls life . Neglect is child abuse. Who abuses their family more than a jw.

I have heard 200,000 it was based on population statistics and how many we're saved by a blood transfusion. But how will we really know. My friends dad had a heart by pass lost a lot of blood. The doctors informed the wife he needed a transfusion. She would not allow it. As a direct result he had some type of stroke. Now he didnt die but was disabled as a result and died a few years later very young. When he died do you think it was listed as a refusal to take blood? No but his early departure from this earth was a direct result of Jim jones style leaders who don't care how many have Fallon for their policy of death to benefit their need for a messiah complex that reassures the grand delusion that is a Jehovah witness.

If would have to be a ride that never ends because somehow you end up right where you started over and over and over again. New light becomes old light only to become new light once again!

I was reading an "old" Watchtower mag and the "overlapping" generation was hinted at with President Knorr from a QFR
by booker-t ini was flipping through an old volume of the wt mag from 1952 and a qfr was asked about "this generation" from matthew and the author actually mentioned "overlapping" generations.
i was surprised but it dawned on me that pres knorr toyed with this explaination 60 yrs ago so the new light is really partially "old light" from the 50s.
the sept 1 1952 qfr ask "your publications point out that the battle of armaggeddon will come in this generation and that this generation began ad 1914, scriptually, how long is a generation?

Jws are always hedging their bets. They don't shun on the website yeah right. They have flip flopped on so many things what can they ever not come back too. No one should have to choose between ones religion and family that was in an awake in 2009. One day that article will be talked about and boasted as loving insight from the gb. They are liars and false prophets. Go to reddit and read about Mormons, seventh day Adventist and all the like. People want to believe. only free thinking people will ever come to their senses. At that point we all have realized it was bullshit. If my meals, worldwide travel and house cleaning depended on the other option maybe I would try not to think about the fact I lied. If you are not a catholic then billions are wrong along with another billion Muslims. People really are sheep that want to be lead to slaughter or you are a wolf reaping the benefits. My choice is atheism a man who chooses to face the world on his own terms. Most can't take that path it is too painful.

Ok is it just me or was the king of the north a big deal or not. Suddenly after the Soviet Union fell new light came out. Why we the gb don't know who the king of the north is. I was like wtf why are we changing it now. Even a co wife said it was strange. I was like who the fuck is the king of the north. Well 20 years later no answer.

My mom once told me brother Franz had the whole bible memorized he only brought it up on stage so as not to be boastful. True story. I was 12 at the time.
