I'd write a scathing letter to your father and send a copy of it to your other non-JW family members. Let your father squirm as the whole family turns on him for his heartless, loveless attitude.

Family Reuinion and Being Disfellowshipped (sorry...but it's long)
by babygirl30 init has been a long looong time since i posted on here, but never ceased reading all the posts and keeping up on the changes that have been going on!
but it just seems that now i have a need to get something off my chest, and this is the one place that will most definitely understand the topic at hand.
i have been disfellowshipped for about 8yrs now, and have dealt with the 'consequences' of that decision: all my so-called friends in the org left and i was also abandoned by my own family.

Jesus Christ explains the particle used in my cosmology theory using parables in the bible.
by Aleon ini wrote a cosmology theory using an expanding particle shaped as a perfect sphere.
in the bible jesus christ speaks of this particle in his parables.

Sorry if I seem disrespectful, but your target audience to publicize your book has already been inflicted by many pains because of those who think they have a unique spin on the bible. And yes, I humbly admit that your theory is too difficult for me to... "handle". -

Awe shucks! And here I thought a mustard seed was a mustard seed, dough was dough and a pearl was a pearl.
Why you gotta go and make things so complimicated? You and Jaewook should hook up to collaborate on more poppy cock!

Gives me shudders just to think of how close and how much I wanted to go to Bethel when I was young. Thank goodness they picked my friend (with the inside connections) instead of me. -

Jehovah's Witness meets a Born Again Christian on a Train. Oh and a Muslim
by passwordprotected ina couple of saturdays ago i and my girlfriend (who happens to be baptised into the greek orthodox religion, but practises greek catholic...no, she's not greek) were on the virgin train from glasgow to london.. we had reserved seats on the quiet zone of the train, because y'know, a 5 hour train journey shouldn't be sullied by mobile phones ringing and noisy conversations.. somewhere around the lake district a very tall woman sits at the table across the carriage from us, a table already occupied by a very chatty, bearded man in his late 50s, along with his wife.
this man was directing people where to stow their luggage and asking random travellers questions about their journey to the point where i sent my girlfriend a text message (easier to communicate that way without others overhearing us) asking if he was the "train boss".. he struck up a conversation with this new passenger about his travels, but i wasn't really paying attention as i was watching a movie on my ipad, wearing noise cancelling headphones.
after a little while i noticed they'd stopped chatting and the woman was now reading.

Still hoping a Scot will tell me what a Virgin train is. Is Virgin their way of saying non-stop? Might be good to know if/when I visit the country.
The great thing about the country I'm in is no one is allowed to talk noisily on a train. They will soon be shushed by the people around them. It makes preaching almost impossible!.

JWs With A Financial Interest In The Org
by JW_Rogue inthrough personal experiences which i'd rather not relate because it would give away my identity i have come to a realization.
many brothers own businesses that a greatly supported by witness activities.
when local congregations need some service they will prefer to do business with a jw.

Speaking of materialism, one of the things that woke me up was how brothers were using their personal businesses to open things up for the preaching work in countries in south eastern Asia. To give a specific example, One elder is using his portable drinking water tank business to send a bunch of his guys to the country to preach while under the guise of working. This guy was all about money all the time and often bragged about how business is booming. Whatever happened to the days where the holy spirit was getting things done and breaking down the barriers? Now you just follow the money trail to find out what they are doing over there. -

Theists, why does God allow suffering..
by The Quiet One in..specifically, the suffering of animals.
you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.
i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

StrongHaiku, that has got to be the best post that I have read this month. So true. I couldn't have expressed it any better. We should have a post of the month award!
