  Hot Saucing your children

  to me this seems cruel.

  after my divorce i heard from a friend that my ex-husband's new wife was doing this to his son to stop him from telling lies.

  i was very upset about it especially since he had learned to lie from his father.. i think it is mean, what do you think about it?.

  acsot,

  Nice to hear from you. Too bad about your mum. Growing old ain't no picnic. Glad that your mum is comfortable and that you are also doing well.

  I had to LOL when I read how you are dodging the meetings and the whole watchtower crap and no one is the wiser.

  Take care

  regards

  i'm sure this has been done before, but thought i would start this poll.

  how many donated for literature taken.

  personally, i never gave a dime, yet ordered a lot of literature including "deluxe" bibles, cds, bound volumes, etc..

  But ever since becoming a secret apostate, not one dime in the last 4 years.

  ditto for me.

  Sometimes i get so mad that I take extra literature and put it directly in my recycle box.

  But when I was a loyal dub I gave more that i needed to put in.

  Old People Ask

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, i was reading the awake article thread, and i thought, we have "yound people ask" but no "old people ask" so what about some article titles for the old?.

  old people ask: "why has the new system been *just around the corner* for over 100 years?".

  old people ask: "why didn't i save for my retirement?".

  A Very Sad Shell-Shocking Day

  by Amazing1914 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why is it our lot as former members of the watchtower organization to suffer so much emotional pain?

  just when we think we have reached some level of putting it all behind us, something new pops up to bite us hard.

  a couple that i have been very close to just sent me a very sad e-mail.

  I can't imagine that your friends are going back. But to each their own.

  Maybe they are missing the sense of community. Some people need to be part of a group. Perhaps your friends are of this sort.

  If going back is what makes them happy so be it.

  True some xjw are bitter and will say things that are off the cuff. But I believe that an intelligent, reasonable person can look beyond that.

  One cannot deny the "truth" about the watchtower organization. There is plenty "truth" about this organization to make a reasonable, honest person run far far away from it.

  When my husband introduced me to this board he told me to start reading your posts. I enjoyed them immensely and they were very helpful to me. Thank you.

  You have done a lot of good to a lot of people.

  I wish you well

  i have posted this under ?scandals?

  In all fairness I dont remember any y2k humbug.

  XQ, In the january 1 1989 of the watchtower (page 12 end of par 8) it read: The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century. So watchtower was most certainly up to its old tricks of setting dates. By the way this quote is from the individual copy of the watchtower. By the time the bound volume cam out they removed "in our 20th century" and substituted "in our day" wannaexit

  The day my husband gave me Ray Franz's books to read he told me about this site. Amazing was the first poster I was introduced to.

  I have come to this site everyday for the last 2 years.

  What a wealth of information there is. This is better than Tim horton's coffee.
