DesirousOfChange: I know that recording things is like a two edged sword...kills both ways.As much as it is a protection, it also leaves one a victim relying on the circumstances. So far i have seen the benefits of it and I am glad that I have the app.It has helped me out of pickles with Boe's when they have lied to me, or try to frame me wrongfully. Anything otherwise ,I have yet to wait n see.
All in a days work n all that!
Thank you for the reference though.

Thank you Smiddy3. Unless we let people start thinking for themselves, we are no better than the GB , legislating things as rules, dont you think?
Thank you Xanthippe . The day I can help my family (all PIMI) to leave the cult that will be my true success for me. At the moment none of them know I am POMO (my circumstance is such). All is honky dory, rosie for now. How long for, cant say???

head coverings
by loveforgod inhi there i am not a jw but i am having bible study.
i came to christianity a few months before and i was searching for the right path.
one of the things god spoke to me about and directed me in was to do away with all the vanity that was in me and now i wear the head covering and the modest dresses.

A very warm welcome LoveforGod. You are in the right place here to ask questions and not get shadyanswers, snubbed, or no answers at all!. Here you will get as many answers as the people in the forum, as varied as possible , all from different angles.So you are going to see a lot of color and info that will help you on eway or the other.
Your own words say it all,
yesterday i asked an elder because the sister teaching me didn't want to ask for me, so i asked the elder if me wearing the head covering would stop me getting baptized in the future, and the elder said basically i would have to make a choice and as time went on i would see what is the right thing to do.
In my opinion/experience this is generally what they do to new ones who are having a Bible study so as not to scare you away. Why is it so difficult ot give you a straight forward answer? You did not ask a very difficult question! Also why would the sister not want to ask the elder the question for you? Did she give you any reasons at all?
the watchtower seems to have a lot of power over the congregation and just getting this simple question answerd there is proving difficult.
If getting a simple question answered is so difficult , can you imagine how much more difficult it is going to be if you asked really serious questions; questions that have a very high impact on you and your kids life?
You also mentioned that your daughter has differing views and because of that you wont be able to talk with her (if I understood you correctly), do you know about shunning that the jw's follow? That is heart-breaking, life wrecking!
The bible says in Proverbs 27:12 A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
Do tonnes of research because this is your life
Wishing you my best.

Also Steve2: I am not looking for a badge or star by calling it a success. I meant success in that I have got two more to start thinking outside the jdumb world , so success in accomplishing that alone.(english is not my first language so at times I may not be conveying things properly,sorry)

Steve2: But isn't it a little premature to call it a success? I couldn't tell from your intriguing post the number of times they have returned.
As my post stated, I have been trying to wake them up for over 8 months now.So they have been coming back quite a bit .When they come back, they bring research that they have doe on topics by way of a reply to my statements at their last visit. So I know they are listening and changing /opening their minds to other info outside of the cult. Their demeanor during this period has been changing and they are becoming more open to conversing things with me now than before when I started. Whenever I notice a right time to mention stuff, I have done so but never with a view to 'teaching them,insisting and proving that I am right'. A person has to prove to themselves what they want to believe in.One can take a horse to the water, not make 'em drink it.

Vidiot: enjoying your quotes so keep them coming. So appropriate. here's one from me:
If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a
mosquito in the room.

Giles Gray: I have not yet shared info as such to them. All I do to wake people up is throw a couple of statements at the appropriate places and let them come up with the info. Or "I heard/read this on the news/newspaper and I dunno what to make of it? " This leads them to think about it to reply to me or make any statement they want.
Based on their response and the vibe I get, I either pursue it or let it hang in the room, to be picked up later, at some other day. This is why it is slow but I believe in this and have seen it work for me.
Thank you for reading.

Vanderhoven7: I have been naughty foreseeing what you say could happen. I have recorded our recent conversations on hot subjects.I normally record all my conversations, my calls etc .Its an app I use which come on automatically unless I switch it off. I do not like to do so but if push comes to shove they will also be in the same pickle with me. For me, as each day goes by I am getting farther and farther away from the Boe's mind (hopefully). I say this coz I have not had any calls, visits , texts etc from anyone (yet???).
Where I am at now. I am willing to go head -on with the jdumbs!
Thank you for giving me headsup.
