I Thought we had Friends!

by Kelley959 in

i am a life long jw, but this issue i'm going through has taken the cake.. i am in a job situation that is not good.

and we were promised to us in our old hall that we would have a roof over our head for us an our animals.

so i gave notice on thursday then went to call by so-called jw friends and they backed out and claimed he now couldn't let us move in and broke the deal.

I'm 3rd gen. I've always seen this and no matter how hard I try to show this to my "in" brothers, they just don't see it.

I've been in your place and was told to get help from the community. Oh? So... we can take from the community but not give back? I volunteer now to my community for helping me, or donate. They were their for me!!!!

We have an outlet "Neighbors helping neighbors"

look around in your community and other churches that have resources. YOU'LL get ALLOT more help than from any congregation of JW family. what ever that is.

Pope thinks hitting children is "Beautiful"

by cofty in

one time, i heard a father in a meeting with married couples say `i sometimes have to smack my children a bit, but never in the face so as to not humiliate them.how beautiful!

he knows the sense of dignity!

he has to punish them but does it justly and moves on.

it's really simple....you start with taking away what they value along with privileges. It lasts longer and is not degrading. The vid recording is another way to humiliate. Every parent should have Nanny training

friends

it's come time for me to leave.

i honestly feel at this point continuing to visit this site and others like it is starting to hinder me from moving on by keeping all the feelings of pain, resentment, regret, etc fresh.. i haven't posted a lot since i have been on here but to those of you that replied when i did, i appreciate it very much.

you helped me through a very rough time that is affecting me to this day.

you'll be back....stop it.....

this is such a great place to dump it all

I gotcha data-dog

I sent it to my older brother the step down elder and he says it has nothing to do with the org. So, "Holy Spirit" is a good rebuttal

I remember we use to have the tues. night book study at our house with a donation jar. I was 13. I stole 50 cents for a pack of cigs and when my dad found out he said, YOU STOLE from JEHOVAH. I didn't offer to share with my Dad since he smoked too in secret.
