she said what she got out of it was that apostates are negative murmurers who can cause you to question jehovah and his earthly org and that it reminded her of the negativity caused when i told her i read ray franz's book.

she said it caused me to question service, family worship night, and praying together.

The first thing to go off course in my house was family study, I used the Bible only and made relevant application without any other book and gradually introduced subtleties. It helped the kids, their mum still goes but says she no longer believes the same.

Halloween

i want to celebrate it this year for the first time with my two daughters.

they are 4 and 2 years old.. i am afraid to tell my husband though.

i also don't think it's fair that i feel the need to hide it.. i'm pretty open about how i feel on most things, but i know he feels strongly about demons being involved in the holiday.. what do you think is the best way of handling this?.

They are still young so won't see the difference between a little celebration and a full blown one, so do a little at a time. I think you'll find whatever way you do it they'll remember it as a bit of fun, after all that's all it is.

Have any of you ex elders ever seeked out those you previously disfellowshipped?

by EndofMysteries in

i was curious if any of you who were part of judicial committees and disfellowshipped any ever after learning ttatt tried to look up those who were dfed and never returned, etc, or who are still dfed.

.

if so, tell us how it went.

happy@last

I was on lots of JCs, only disfellowshipped once, he was a muppet and everyone would have wondered why his new wife and he had a bouncing baby after only being married 6 months. He was back in after about 8 months.

CANCELL MY REQUEST FOR MEMBERSHIP I HATE APOSTATES

by Simon in

lol, just received this email:.

idiots!

you of weak minds that have chosen to leave the truth!

happy@last

Simon, if you dont write back how will he know if his membership is cancelled! On second thoughts his DA email should be followed up by 2 older members to make sure they wrote it and still feel that way.

The distinction between cult and religion.....

by NoRegrets in

another great article from the ted talks.

opening quote really tells it all: "the distinction between cult and religion lies squarely in how those leaving or those wanting to leave are treated.
