remember the drama about persecution,suffering, that a modern-day job experiences?
the jw's under ban in a " landmark ruling", our faithful brother conversing with job in the new world, it' all too wonderful!
especially job wearing pants and a tunic style shirt!
Their ,suggestions, bcomin rules, rules becoming laws they have themslves in a corner and can't keep up with what they believe.
They proved this because Job and his wife being together after A and holding hands should have been a non issue but their little rules backfired because everybody is so aware of the little "suggestions" it becomes a great big blunder.

Tri Tip, Floridians have Californan ship to them packed in dry ice.
finally i was having an anointed moment.
i looked up and saw jesus on his throne saying "my dear ray, i am coming soon.
yes soon i am coming and i will be coming quickly so be prepared.".
I accidently took one in the morning hours. It was an eyeopening day. I slept for a couple of hours, woke up and went thru the day but have no memory of anything I did until that evening. Lucky me my husband stayed very close and he feared I had suffered a stroke. I carried on conversations with different people and never rememberd I had even seen them.
i purchased a condo late last year and due to my personal schedule, i wasn't able to redo it to my preferance until a few months ago.
all the heavy work is done.
now just replacing electrical outlets, fixtures and such.
We dumped our JW lit when we moved across country. Kept two Bibles and we miss none of them. 4 Years no lit.
are they allowed to vomit all their jw crap everywhere on fb?
i know they aren't supposed to have jw forums so i figured the same would apply to fb but not sure.. if there are any references, that would be great.
.
My son who has been df'd for 18 years and has many of his JW cousins and friends still on FB with him. Occasionaly he will be defriended but not very often. I think many are still iding themselves as JWs for their parents. Most of these friends, cousins are in their 40 's. My BIL 79 would love to have a FB account but afraid of my sister. He is constantly asking who I have on my FB account, I tell him all your neices and nephews, a great way to keep up at a distance.
i've been reading a lot and learning even more (project deadlines to meet), getting this overwhelming satisfaction and feeling good.. and then i stopped and realised that i never got that feeling when reading borg publications.. i also realized that i have probably read more non-fiction books in the last month than i did during my whole life in the borg.. for all my reading (and i was fully in) i read no more than two wt books cover to cover.
none of my study books were studied cover to cover and wts were usually quickly underlined and rarely properly studied.
magazines were usually flicked through and resolutions to read them cover to cover rarely lasted more than a few weeks.. i did manage to read the bible through once - but that was because i was always afraid someone door to door would ask me if i had, so i figured i should just crack on with it.
I read all the time. Still do. But never WT stuff much. Give me a good novel and I'm happy
the only reason i am posting this is because i know many of you are going or will be going through something similar and wonder if it is worth it.
i personally feel that it is worth it regardless of what i lose.
my wife is backing me and i have my children.
Sosoconfused, I cried when I read your moms letter. The statements she believes are from her heart are a parrot of words she has been taught by this organizarion. Why do I make this staement. I have heard the same exact words from my sister, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law. It amazes me how close each staement parrots the same ones I have heard over and over. If this is not brainwashing I do not brainwashing would be. My heart goes out to you, wife, children and parents. To even be put in the position to feel such a letter must be written. Follow your heart.
a number of years back i heard a story of a young girl in a congregation ( i have some good friends in this hall ) who had an amazing field service experience.
it was so amazing that it was retold in the 2007 yearbook!.
it is retold in the highlight of the past year section.
Mynfavorite part of assemblies were not accurate. This actually saddened me. Another bubble busted.
