they did an excellent job of the first day of convention.
imo.
i grade them a+ in shunning your dfd children.
I really thought that the organization would take a softer view of inactive ones, i.e. encouraging them to come back to the meetings.
Anxious to see how my JW relatives treat us going forward. Even though we have not committed any disfellowshipping offense, I'm sure they will assume that we have since we don't go to meetings. Time will tell.
i just saw where the emergency landing that prince made several days ago in moline was due to an opiate overdose.
this came from tmz and sounded pretty credible.
if true, just curious if he would still be given a jw funeral, if that is what he wanted..

i can't begin to count all the changes that have happened in the last five years.. i just read they're getting rid of the theocratic ministry school from cedar's blog.. i remember when they released the new theo school book back in 2001. how times have changed.. it's almost scary in a way what's happening.
there's barely any time to adapt to one change before another change comes along.. there's been more changes in the last five years than the previous 100 years.. i feel like there's some grand puppet master pulling his string.. what if the governing body are not really in charge but just give the impression they're in charge.
could there be someone else behind the scenes?.
Can someone post the link?

i got a call from my mother-in-law the other day begging me to go to the hall this past sunday for a special talk.
i didn't go but was wondering what the deal is?
details please..
when i left in march officially i started reading the forums here.
i had this excitement that more people would be leaving soon because of the crazy broadcasts, the crazy "new light" that the gb was dishing out, and more recently the australian royal commission lighting up geoffrey.
this past saturday i had an elder stop by to chat for the first time since i left.
just on of the perks of being an apostate who is married to a branwashed, blinded jw woman.
you know, we have been married for ~27 years....most of which we had nothing to do with the piece of shite cult.
up till the begining of 2014 was when i woke up.
She's scared. I used to give my husband the silent treatment if he missed a meeting. Now we are both out.
Take her out on a date, maybe out to eat and a movie. Tell her that any talk of religion, God, anything spiritual is off limits. If there is something you both enjoy doing, try doing it together. What brought you two together to start with? Focus on those things. If you have kids pull out photo albums of when they were young of photos of when you were first married. She also may be going through menopause if you've been married for 27 years, the sex drive does lessen.
Hope this helps.

i'm sitting here drinking my morning coffee and opened up the yahoo page to see jw's trending at #10. clicked on it and the first article is about the child abuse.. did something happen lately that would get so many people doing a massive search?.

I just watched the CNN-Australia clip. I have a feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg.
We should all type "Jehovah's Witnesses" into the Google and Yahoo search engines (and any others) to keep it in the fore-front.
