Reaching Loved Ones Stuck in a Cult: Reciprocal Letter Writing

by 00DAD in

i've been toying with an idea that i think just might have some legs.

so here i am trotting it out for all of you to consider and comment upon.

for many of us, we are extremely frustrated by the fact that we have no way to communicate with our loved ones still stuck in the organization.

It's time. Thanks to all who offered to help!

He Got Reinstated . . .

feeling low today.

i haven't posted for a long time (forgotten log in details = new username) i'm in a good place with my family now and have built a life outside the religion.. today i found out a good friend has gone back and got himself reinstated to be able to have contact with his elderly mother.

that is the only reason apparently.

Hamahead: I'm tempted to keep him at a distance now - the lack of integrity is unpalatable

You obviously are taking this very personally, but should you?

How does this person's actions affect you this way? Has he started shunning you? Or has he just done this to be able to reconnect with his own mother?

Being judgmental is a JW trait. We can disagree with a person's actions without condemning them simply because they do things we would not do.

Tchotchke, kitschy trinkets and baubles. This MUST be the True Religion!

I am JW.ORG

by LogCon in

famous quote from wuthering heights revised.. '... i am jw.org!

it's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than i am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.

so don't talk of our separation again: it is impracticable...'.

I've been stumbled.

by silent in

i just realized that all these dates that the borg have said the end would come on or by and then it didn't happen, have stumbled me.

why such a fascination and trying to divine the answer from scripture when scripture plainly says only the father knows the day and the hour?

by their predictions, they actually sent many christians on the path of date-based worship insted of faith-based worship.. if they have stumbled me, then who is reponsible for that?.
