I may get a visit from the P.O. :(

i think i may have a potential problem on my hand.

over the last year or so, i've been attempting to go the slow fade route with the jw religion.

for the most part i've succeded, as my significant decrease in jw related activities has been greeted only by brief "pep talks" by my parents at worse.

(GASP) J.C., you are telling him to lie????????????

Does your dad know about this?

If he doesn't, maybe we can have a business talk.

Save a prayer, I'll be droppin' bombs...

.

if you have a chance, wish me luck or whisper a prayer for me.

i'm going to "address an issue" with my family (drop bombs) this weekend after 7 years of silent tolerance.

BLUEBLADES, I tried that with my mom, but it didn't work. She was not as rational as I thought she was.

Happysunshine, I'm sunshineToo.

Just tried to be calm and avoid arguments. If you get so emotional, your family will think you are demonized. Well, they'll think of you demonized anyway if you quit being in the org. But when you get to tell other people, who are not jws, you'll be more convincing. There are still many people who have no idea what the WTS or the jws really are. I have met several people after my DA, who thought the jws were as good as saints but shocked what has been going on within the org.

Don't get insane. I came very close to that point, but I realized that I shouldn't be. Because if I did, I would be losing to the WTS. I don't want that.

Hey, SYN! You got "moderated"? Does that mean you were once a member of the JWZone? Oh, my! I think I read somewhere that Farkel was trying to get in there, too. It'll be TOO funny if both of you guys could make it there. Oh, I shouldn't forget about the Crazy151drinker, too.

I NEED your advice!!!!! Please reply!

ok here's the deal..... i've not had much to do w/ my parents since jan '02 when my mother and i got into over her force feeding my 3 year old the "troof".

when i respectfully ask her on behalf of myself and my non jw husband, to respect us enough to let us teach our child about religion.... her response was "well if you don't want her around our religion, then don't bring her around us".

and during the course of this conversation she stated this in the most hateful of tones at least 4 or 5 times to both me and my husband, in front of our daughter.... well i was furious.... that she would say such a thing and openly chose to have nothing to w/ my daughter.. without being given an ultimatum<sp> to choose.

WG, I'm sorry to hear about your mom. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{WG}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I am going through a similar situation. In my case I don't have children yet, but I'm getting married soon. I've been thinking about what will happen if I have a child.

All of these advises from DB friends are good. Regarding the molesters in the org., I would tell mom not to take my child to the field service, meetings or even their gatherings. But for visiting her friends, maybe if she can keep her eyes on her all the time. I think I can hear her voice yelling at me already. I don't trust those JWs anymore, but at the same time I don't want to deny my mom's status/right to be a grandma to my child, either. I had such a fond memory about my grandma. So I don't want my child to miss it out. As far as religion, I think I'm going to enroll my child to other church.

"u.s. condemns latest abduction by abu sayyaf guerillas.

" go to the last article of related stories underneath "heads of 2 sayyaf hostages displayed in public market.".

also, to the extreme right under highlights gma-7audio-video is dean jasec, watchtower spokeman for the philippines who says that the jws involved "were not officially sent there.

Was any of them an US citizen? If that kind of stuff happened in the US, I think the WTS could be charged for Murder2 or maybe Criminally Negligent Homicide if the judge and the members of Jury are so generous and bias in favor of the WTS.

Is any government going to take any action?
