Goodbye for now!
by Ephanyminitas inmy parents made it clear to me that while i'm under their roof, i can't have _any_ communication with apostates.
obviously, that would rule out this group; so until i move (hopefully in a couple of months or so), i must be on a forced hiatus!
thanks for your kindness during the past -- what?

My son contemplates suicide.
by dmouse inmy 14 year old son, benjamin, confided in me last night that he almost tried to commit suicide this week, he felt so low.. he has been brought up as a jw by his mum all his short life and until recently totally believed all the crap.
although he has not been baptised yet he expressed the desire to pioneer and go to bethel.. then, in the past few months, he suddenly woke up and smelt what he was shovelling.. my son is an extremely gregarious, likable boy with lots of friends in the congregation.
he is always invited to the get-togethers etc.

So,so sorry to read all of this,I agree that a bible study is NOT a good thing at all. It may be very confusing and start another similar problem a few months down the line.Also,a relative of mine committed suicide after seeming so much happier.She was happy because she'd ralised setting a date for her death made her happy to know exactly WHEN the pain would stop...Reborn is right.You can never know for sure,best to er on the side of caution.I would use my sons' unhappiness as the reason I was withdrawing him from any negative jw association.But let the real? friends he has visit, as when your whole life falls apart as his has it'd be nice for him to feel they hav'nt all deserted him;and it'll be THEM he'll be 'mourning' and 'new' friends can't stop you grieving over old ones yet.Lots of love to him and you.I think i'll talk to my children a little more often about how they feel to be 'out'.I usually wait for them to bring it up, but from now on i'll bring it up periodically;his terrible time is going to help alot of others-wolud you tell him that? xxx

Oh, be fair you lot!I think that although the title does not,perhaps ,fit the thread;they're still damning themselves from their own mouths.I have been told very sharply that the ones who left the org after 1975 were weak and adulterous as they sought a date and wore out ,blah,blah,blah and that the society NEVER predicted the end near 1975 etc.I can certainly use these quotes at my door if they dare to call on me again.Nice one Newboy!

Gravedancer,I feel the word to concentrate on is NOT.eg 'it may only involve a difference of weeks or months NOT YEARS.Well,it HAS been a difference of YEARS, so they went beyond what is written by trying to predict the end and got it spectacularily WRONG!Exactly the things they accuse others of doing. How can they say the lot that left were serving with a date in mind,after telling them what to think?Unbelieveable,lying gits.But I know what you mean they'll just say 'well' that was a long time ago, now........'aaaaaggggghhhhhhhh

Telling a JW that you are anti-watchtower.
by jerome inthe time has finally come.
i am getting dangerously close to a situation where i will have to reveal to my gf's mother and siblings that not only do i not share their beliefs but the probility of them converting me to their religion is next to none.
relaying this information could cause one hell of alot of problems with the situation as it satnds.. in my country which is mainly christian the the jws eventhough not accepted are permitted to continue with their faith.

Jerome;hi, you could just do your research 'backwards' as it were.Find the issue(ie-the un thing)Find a non-jw source (ie-newspaper)research it on un web site- offer info as your reason for getting the hell out of there.You only need one issue(blood,un,fds not inspired ,child abuse etc)or it gets too complicated... and just say because of THIS your christian concience cannot allow you to associate with the religion any longer...be firm and sound completely resolved and disgusted and VOILA! you're out without slandering them personally and with your self esteem intact; you don't want to get all emotional and cause a ranting,embarassing scene! xx

Heavenly or earthly hope in "Hebrews"?
by Justin inofficial jw doctrine is that the pre-christian servants of god had an earthly hope.
but, according to hebrews 11:16 (kjv), "they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly; wherefore god is not ashamed to be called their god: for he hath prepared for them a city.
" the nwt, alone of all translations as far as i can tell, translates this as "a better [place], that is, one belonging to heaven.
