  ((((((SC Guy)))))

  Don't get baptized just because your parents are pressuring you to do that. You might even ask them, "Do you want me to get baptized because you are pressuring me, or do you want me to get baptized because I love Jehovah?" On second thought, maybe that's not such a good idea 'cause then they'll want to know why you don't love Jehovah enough to get baptized.

  I agree with Stephanus about seeing if your grandmother could let you stay with her while you get things sorted out. It would give you breathing space to think and plan. Also, when you are 18 you can open your own bank account (most banks have a policy against allowing those under 17 to have their own account, a parent must sign on the account until they are 18.) Even if your parents won't give you the money you have earned, at least you will be able to keep whatever you earn after you turn 18.

  Good luck. And remember "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."

  Did You Ever REALLY Love Jehovah?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses are taught that they must love their neighbor and jehovah god.

  when persons fade away or leave abruptly or get disfellowshipped, you often hear this statement:"well, they obviously never really loved jehovah anyway"........looking back, can you say that at one time you really did love jehovah?

  Yes, I always have loved God, and I let myself be fooled into believing the jdubs had the way to please him. However, after escaping (yes, escaping) I have found the "daddy" that Paul talked about, and have that personal relationship that I was formerly led to believe only the "anointed, chosen, special, exclusive ones" could have. What a bunch of Pharisees they are!

  i recently dissociated myself and the elders keep calling me trying to speak and i don't want to hear it then he leaves me a message saying i have to sign a paper saying i'm dissociating myself since when did it become more of a business than a spiritual manner.

  i'm not signing any papers.

  Welcome to the board, Alison.

  I'm not sure of the answer to this one, but others have threatened the "brothers" with restraining orders if they don't leave them alone.

  Blondie?

  Good luck.

  2. friends

  well i have redone the maps.

  it was helpful to have them separated before while i was trying to make them all.

  but now i think it is easier to have them separated.. ballistic has done an amazing job with the map of the uk you can find it at.

  It's supposed to get to 64 here in sunny Las Vegas, with lows in the low 40's Farenheit (sp?) We have been cold for us - below freezing several nights in a row, with highs in the low 50's, not to mention the snow we had on 12/31.

  in a minimus moment, i find myself interested in knowing which buzz-words and phrases in jw publications stand out the most to you?

  when i read wt literature, i constantly find myself astounded by how transparently cultish the language is.
