  Thank you for your responses and I do pln to use Matt. 18 with her but I wznt to do it in a truly christian manner. I will writing out notes so I can keep to the points and not allow this to be a screaming match. I have tried to bury the hurt and anger and some of the consequences her action of the first incident did to her brother, nephew, and neice qnd myself. She actually told my son fiance that my husband and I were Apostates which was no way the truth at the time and 3 years ago she prevented my son from seeing his grandmother which he knew which probably the lasr time. She will think I am persecuting her for her religion . I am just tired of people causing damage within their family units. I will tell her after her last action her two great-neices response was Thank You for not raising us in that relgion I can't treat people that mean. But since her unmarried daughter is giving birth to her 4th out of wedlock child ths weekend (down syndrone) I will give her timie to adjust to this. But I have hid my tue feeling for such a long time I need ro exopressnmy feelings.

I am suffering from depression taking anti depressants to cope and I have fibromagiya with intensifies with stress. I have come to the conclusion that JWs often don't understand what their actions does to others. She has been asking other family members why we are cool to her. 65 years of this crap is earing me alive from the inside out. What is your opinion using Matt. 18 to let her know hw her actions are contributing to my health problems. Any ideas or suggstions. I want to be able to do this is a calm kind manner and have been waiting till MIL dies but I have decided my health and feeling are important too which is one of the things I always suppressed my feelings And hurts and kept everything inside.

  Were you Stalked or Chased After Once you Exited the JW's by Elders ?

  by flipper in

  i tried to fade off the map by moving 30 miles initially in 2004 after i exited in late 2003 .

  the first several years they didn't bother me.

  i ran into a elder from my former congregation in late 2005 in an antique store - he tried telling me i was wrong for stopping attending meetings.

  Not myself personally but at age14:(51 years ago) My cousiins and I all JWs watched Elders staking out a man who we didn't ever know hqd been a JW. This was a 3 oclock in the afternoon as we were walkiing home from school. We thought they loked ridiclous. Another friend was staked out after she seperated from her JW husband she finally told them she was guilty of adultry even tho it was a lie to have some peace.

  How to tell if something is true

  by gma-tired2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if jws had the true teachings they would not be afraid of members researching and listening.

  the truth would be so obvious that they would encourage all research.

  my 2 cents worth.

  Elders- Have any of You faded Because of participating in a JC where the Arguments from the accused made sense to you?

  by truthlover in

  2. bible

  i know the question is long, but it has occured to me that there are a lot of newbies here but before that, many ex elders, some co and do's that are no longer jw's.... did the publishers comments at a jc about the misconceptions,dates, and lack of holy spirit, etc.

  make sense to you and did you start thinking about the failed prophecies, fudging the "new light" etc.

  which caused you to slowly fade away.. .

  Is it the GB's plan to NOT explain the nu FDS lite?

  by outsmartthesystem in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  perhaps i am overthinking this.......but i may have come to the conclusion that the gb's refusal to address and explain in detail all of the changes mentioned at the 2012 annual meeting is in and of itself.....their final explanation.

  from what i have gathered by speaking discreetly with those that are still "in" but on the fringe.......the information given at the 2012 meeting meant practically nothing to most jws.

  in fact.....most are still completely unaware of the changes.

  lets face it - the witless mating guide is just a checklist of behaviors that makes a potential mate.. how do you let go from this??.

  sorry - have met so and am already going through this compatibility crap.

  We were told to pick mates by spiritual qualities instead of finding mates by attraction.

  thought on this topic off and on today. Yes they are afraid of each other. Why should they br any different then the rank and file. We all keep part of ourselves apart because of the fear of saying something not quite in agreement. They must be fearful because of their positions.
