  since we're accused by some of being so negative about jehovah's witnesses, let's start a thread regarding some positive things about being a witness or believing in the organization.

  my mother has six children, all of whom she raised in the truth.

  over the years, all of us (with the exception of my older brother) have either left the org behind or got df'd and never bothered to return.

  today, out of the blue, my baby sister emailed me to say that she's back to attending all the meetings and even when out in service last saturday.

  How Would You Handle This?

  by Undecided in

  i've been expressing myself about some of my doubts about god being an active creature in our life and my doubts about christ being the son of god.

  i didn't know the young grandkids were listening sometimes when i was talking to the adults.

  my daughter was telling my wife that her 10 year old son was crying to her because he was afraid of dying since god and christ wasn't real.

  I agree with wildhorses,,,,its good for them to believe in something while they are still young....anyways....once they get older... they will have their own opinions.

  thats right, my baby asked me to be his wife on friday night.

  it was our 1 year anniversary, we had booked into a motel with a spa bath and admist bubbles, i followed a trail of balloons to my ring.. it was all very romantic (and about time too seeing as he had the ring sitting in the draw for 2 months!!

  hehehe).

  When have you met a boss that makes less money than the employees?????

  THE BOTTOM LINE IS:

  You hate your husband's boss bc he is RICHER than you are......He has the Mercedes Benz that you want.....the yacht and the million dollar mansion you don't have.....

  Just BE HAPPY with your life and DEAL with it.

  Hi, I'm a little bit nervous posting something in here.....this is the firts time.....I was just wondering what "good" or "bad" things you have to say about JW. I have been a JW all my life and my husband too. Right now I'm in the process of getting out... or fading away....I'm not attending the meetings anymore. It has not being six months yet, so I think I'm not completely inactive...My husband has been inactive for over a year now.....and when that happened the situation affected me.....the attitude of all our "friends" towards us changed.....including my sister....she still talks to me but since i don't go to the meetings I don't see her anymore. As JWs we have learned that being a JW is the best thing, we always do the right thing and everybody else is wrong....I had a lot of pressure from the KH when my husband decided no to go to the KH anymore.....they said I had to be stronger and I had to stay in the organization no matter what.....This situation affected me, bc I wanted to follow what I have learned all my life and thought it was right, but at the same time I wanted to support my husband. All this caused a lot of problems between my husband and I. At one point we couldn't even talk bc we ended fighting all the time.....which brought some other problems in our lives. I'm 100% sure that all of our problems came just bc of the way we were told to think. The only thing I wish with all my heart right now is to start all over but with the "new mind" we have and with THE WAY WE THINK, not the way others want us to think.

  My husband doesn 't know that I'm posting my experience in this website, he probably wouldn't believe that i'm doing this...but I know he is going to read it one day.....I just want to Thank him for Opening my eyes!!!!! ;-)
