  You know, I have say that I'm amazed by some people's kindness - enough to envite strangers in. Interesting story, Amazing.

  By the way you are drooling, Amazing. Are you on something?

  Why Aren't Jehovah's Witnesses Allowed To Freely Express Themselves?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's a simple fact.

  jw's cannot freely express themselves.

  they can't freely tell another about a doubt or a question that they might have for fear they could be exposed to the elders.

  Well, it's because it can cause a lot of free and independent thoughts. And you are not supposed to be free and independent if you are a jw.

  Yay!!! I wish my "getting out" plan was as well planed as yours. Ah, I could see myself smiling as I walking into the parking lot to drive away from all that. People would have thought I was thoroughly enjoing the program. I hope you didn't smile too much. It might have given a wrong ideas to them.

  I am so sorry for your situation. I've been there. We, my mom and I, had some heated arguments. I just ignored. A few days later she would bring some fruits or food for me. I just pretended nothing was happened. I think mom apreciated that.

  Your parents (at least for now ) and all jws are not capable to show real love because they are brain washed not to. You have to show them the true love, Melissa. It's not going to be easy because it sounds like some of your other siblings are jws as well. Stay close to your the other sibling who is not a jw and to other friends and family who are not jws. You'll be surprised how much support you can get from them. The jws says that the worldly people are the worst sort, but they, the worldly ones, are the ones who can give you unconditional love.

  Keep your life style morally clean if you can. If other people can see you as an examplary one and see your parents shunning you, they are going to wonder and your parents might be pressured not to shun you.

  PM me if you'd like.

  I need advice quick...and a hug.

  by dmouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm in a bit of a state at the moment, my wife has just left me about 30 mins ago and took the kids...i don't know where.... ok, some of you long-timers may remember the problems i had with my son ben, who decided that the jw religion wasn't for him about a year ago.

  i supported him as best i could through that and he's developed into a fine young man with a more healthy spiritual attitude, investigationg a number of christian churches in the area and finally settled on church of england, which he really likes now.. although no longer a christian myself i have no objection to them pursuing whatever religious path they choose (obviously within reason).

  that has been the case with all of my children: ben, 15, charlotte, 14 and chloe, 12. i have never attempted to stop my wife taking them to the meetings although i have voiced to them privately my concerns about the religion.

  Dean, have you contacted a lawyer? She will get a free legal service from the WTS. You need to take care of your side now. You've got to take a day off and try to sort these out.

  I really hate when jw destries another family.
