hi all, my name is eric, i'm 22 years old i live in kansas, and i am the new guy on the forum.

just looking to meet some people who, like myself, have decided that being one of jehovah's witnesses was not for them.

i stopped going about 1 1/2 years ago and have been feeling quite alone.

SheilaM

Welcome! as you can see I've not been here long myself I think you'll find the board a haven from the storm.

I live in Missouri so we are neighbors!

Peace,

and after the wt has labeled you as 'bad people', 'satan's offspring', "apostates", people who have committed the "unforgivable sin"........ .

a theory about parents/parenthood

by teejay in

jw

personally, i know of several cases -- and have heard of many more -- of grown children not getting along with their parents.

some of these cases that i know about have nothing to do with the jw experience.

these people -- parents and their children -- go years without speaking (although sometimes living in the same town) and actually see each other even less.

I have two children that right now are the light of my life, they are living good productive lives. Would I as a parent not speak to them I can think of reasons such as what LB shared. See you don't see the pain YOUR OTHER CHILDREN face when you condone the actions of a child that is not living a good life. For example my sister who I mentioned in another post is nine years older, she has been on drugs tossed her daughter from home to home and just when my little niece would get settled and happy here would come my bitchy sister to rip that security out from under her. Well it all culminated for me in the late 80's my sister who claimed she LOVED me had injured herself I went to where she lived to help her in her job. Suffice it to say she set me up, she had gotten in debt with her drug dealer and had worked out a scenario that her younger sister ( I was in my mid 20's) would "Visit" and she would take me to his house and somehow she would owe less when the deal was over!!!(this is a TRUE story)well I ended up finding out from a DEA agent that was undercover what she had planned, he saw how naive and trusting I was and broke his cover to save me. My sister was going to dump me in the middle of an oil field in the middle of no where because I had fought her taking me to the party. I made it back home and my MOTHER and Older sister were there THEY WERE told what happened I was so upset I shook from head to toe all NIGHT. This is not the only thing my sister has done but you know what my Mother denies it EVER happend, my older sister DENIED it ever happend until I told her if she wanted to have a relationship with me she needed to look me in the eye and tell me that she ended up saying that I shouldn't hold a grudge!!!!

So see it causes the child that tries and tries pain when a parent blindly loves them despite the havoc they cause. My older sister wanted me to start fresh with the other sister, so I took her call I told her I would try if she would apologize she said: I HAVE NOTHING to apologize for". Funny I feel guilty if I forget to call someone or mail a card maybe she was born without a conscience or maybe a heart. In fact my Mom lauded over the two kids out of four that were the bad ones drugs, bad relationships, etc. I always was so tempted to be bad to have that kind of love from her but it wasn't worth it.

Newly DA'ed Our story

by Robotnomore in

my wife and i have been witnesses for almost 50 years.

we are both third generation witnesses and raised in the "lie".

we raised our kids in it also.

SheilaM

It's hard when your family is still in the "Lie" but you simply explaining may make them think everytime they are at a meeting. Also take heart because some of the most unhappy JW's were the Ministerial servants wives so they may be listening more than you believe. Best to both of you for seeing the light

Help! Neighbor starting a study

by Trotafox in

i am so furious.

the very zealous elderly pioneer sister who lives across the street (alberta) has been canvassing the neighborhood for studies.

i watch her walk up and down the street and being very friendly and helpful with her neighbors (all the while preaching to them i'm sure).

SheilaM

So there is a potential of three people's lives being ruined by this damnable organization if Mary succumbs to Alberta's teaching

I personally would visit your neighbor and voice your concerns. I am the type of person that wants to at least know I TRIED to stop something. Does it always work , sometimes it takes time but the end result is at least they have the other side in their mind to, so she's not buying a pig in a poke so to speak.

Just to clarify in my post I said I never thought my hubbie would leave. I didn't mean me I meant the Dubs and he did leave them and is still with me! SO you never know what good can come out of DA

Your funeral -- if not in a church, then what?

by Gopher in

i don't mean to sound morbid, but we're all mortal.

just as we are wise if we plan for our financial future, we are also wise if we plan for our demise (timely or otherwise), so that our relatives know our wishes and are not burdened with difficult decisions in the case a fatal event befalls us.

so for those of us who are currently unchurched -- we all know that if you wish to "tie the knot" you can quite easily get a "justice of the peace" to perform a wedding.

SheilaM

I have always just wanted to be cremated I also want no viewing,autopsy YUCK (unless demanded by the state) and I don't want people that couldn't call me to show up and lie that they loved me. I want my kids and my hubby to have a party and think about the life insurance they will receive.I am undecided about where I want to be scattered I guess a pinch of me here and there in the places I loved.my garden, Key West, Nathrop Colorado etc
