Easier said than done when the cult can put limitations on how you can parent your kids. Not too much recreation and tons of meetings and service. I don't know what's worse a kid losing a parent or a parent losing a kid. Lets ask Mouthy what it's like to have kids and grandkids that are off limits to her because of society's limitations. Lets ask and eighty-six year old grandmother what it's like to live alone. That's the reality !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We shouldn't be so dogmatic over the scriptures
Don't be critical or negative of your brothers or sisters. One day we may all be in prison and have to wear the other persons underwear
AAA Available after armegedon. (can't spell Harmegedon?)
Through your reigning son, Christ Jesus>right after a prayer I asked now that Jesus is up in heaven is his name still Jesus and I was told by an elder no. He's now Michael. Then why don't we say through your reigning son, Michael?????
Be in suggestion oops! I meant be in subjection

This is sickening in the least. I have a friend( ex unbaptised publisher) who left her husband and the religion (long story) and is happily living with a disfellowshipped man. They didn't get married but I see the exhusband poseing a problem down the road with the two children that they brought into this world. He could easily push for the two kids to get baptised as soon as possible so they have nothing to do with their mother especially since her new husband to be is df'd. I wonder how many parents that are either seperated or divorced use baptisim as leverage or payback to the other parent so the kids will have nothing to do with them. That would be an all time disgusting low in useing the kids as a weapon against the other person because they are so dam insecure. I wonder how many in the org has done that and can the courts do anything about that.

Keep testing the scriptures to prove this is not the "truth"
by label licker inwhat's your favorite scripture to prove that watchtower's doctrines were false.
mine was romans 6:7 where they say it's our death that's aquitted us of our sins when it was jesus death that aquitted us of our sins.
our death doesn't have that ability to do that.

Oh and when you read in Isaiah 43:10 " you are my servant" which is actually talking about the nation of Israel. (verse one) The whole chapter is Jehovah talking to the nation of Israel. But the witnesses say it's them that are the servant. Isaiah 44:1,2 shows again it's Israel he has chosen. Remember Jacob who was changed to Israel and it was his twelve sons that were the twelve tribes??????? Are you getting this g/b ? Hope your lurking

And just through this experience of ours> We had the elders come to our home and tell us about gossiping and slander. Here's what really happened. A so called sister pulled her mother out of the nurseing home knowing the mother was in diapers and had dimensia. She told us and other families in the hall that she was doing that so the mothers' pensions would cover their mortgage on the fancy house that they admit they couldn't afford. They denied asking us and others for help.They also asked us if we would move their thirty year old son out of their home along with a wife who had just come from El Salvador with her two little kids. The son had lost his job so "christian" parents kicked them out. Nothing was done about it but a whole lot of families got shepherding calls. If this dumb bitches husband were to ever find out she was telling all of us how she thought her husband was dangerous, tantrum fits, couldn't afford the house, bipolar ect... Her mother was shipped back to the nurseing home when she shit all over the floors which was by the third day. For three weeks she was placed in a temporary nurseing home with no visits from the daughter but the daughter was phoneing different ones if they would go over and make sure the mother is wearing her diapers instead of shoving keenex in her underwear. That's what a jw is all about. They had pulled the same shit up in Elliot lake where the poor mother is now. They also scammed the mothers bank account while the mother was in their care roughly eight thousand dollars. Nice, eh?

In our hall it's only the elders elderly parents that get cared for and only by the pioneers so they can count their time. And when it's not them it's their kids but the kids can't be baptised. Again, we've seen that rule broken too. I laugh when a pioneer tells me there's about six pioneers that are going to take the elders kids to an amusement park for the day and theyare going to count that whole day witnessing to the elders kids. What a joke and why tell me?

Ever Caution a Former RV about JWs?
by rubadubdub inhas anyone ever felt a strong desire to go back to one of their former "return visits" in order to warn them about ttatt?
i used to call on the sweetest gentleman who was truly hurt as a child by the catholic church and its doctrines.
last we spoke he was still so fearful about being damned to hell.

A couple who we studied with for almost two years were told. When the disfellowshipping was explained they said there was no way in hell that anyone or anything or any religion would seperate them or break that parental bond that god soooo instilled in each and every parent with their children. If they want to keep the congregation clean then it's up to the freewill which god gave us along with our conscience if ones want to associate with these ones but when it comes to family that's where they said they draw the line. When you think about it the society has no trust in their followers that they have to take away their freewill and conscience, something only god gave and only he can take away. Too many warnings and rules mean they are hiding something that they don't want you to see.

Imagine if the GB called you in for questioning

HAHA! I would ask them when they are going to appoint another four dicks (sorry dicks, even they have a use) to their elite group and call themselves the apostles. Oh, wait a minute, they can't for the apostles weren't annointed till fifty days after the last supper. I see new lite coming our way down the road. It will be you don't have to be annointed and now the apostles are annointed again cuz Jesus said so when he gave them the bread and to eat it.

At thirteen but they lost my cards and then thirty-three years later did it again. And because of this site where I read that we were baptised in the name of the father, son and organisation and the fact it was in a still water hole, I will be getting for REAL this time in flowing water like a river!
