  But I was wondering that too. Hasn't any of the householders just seen you there and come out anyway?

  If the householder come out then we will talk\

  PLEASE see the reality, WT, and stop destroying the future of yet another generation of innocent, well meaning young people.

  Well said!!!!

  I feel your bitterness. I am also of that generation and know exactly what you are feeling. I didin't go to on to college or university. Neither did my husband and all my other friends in the congregation. The few that went were ostracized and critizied.

  But I believe that WT will not win on this one. I know personally of at least 10 Jw of my generation that have children that will be going to college and university. I don't know if this is a local thing here. But it does not seem the flock is listening.

  Thanks for that research, definite keeper

  So we go up to a door and pretend to push the doorbell. What we really do though is push the screw on the doorbell.

  No one is the wiser. We have even pushed the screw with other jdubs right beside us.

  At the end of service we measure our success by the number of screws we pushed.

  We usually have a good laugh

  It Seems That My Children Are Not Trained

  i just returned home from the kingdom hall.

  i am an elder.. after the meeting all the elders were called to the back room.

  i thought this was an impromptu elders' meeting.

  My father was an elder. Being an elder's kid stinks. Now as an adult, I would suggest that you spend that time with your family, resign the position and enjoy the kids while you can. If you have a book study in your house, have it moved too. That is murder on a wife too. Enjoy your family while they are young because they aren't young forever.

  This is so true. Both my father and my father-in-law were elders when we were growing up. Now both realize how foolish it was to put family second to the congregation. Both have some deep regrets. But it's too late.

  No other organization expects their children to sit through hours of hell.

  Children have such a short attention span and to expect them to sit still like adults for hours in my opinion is child abuse.

  I have a suggestion, why don't you take them to the back as much as possible. What a nice excuse for you to get out of listening to the crap they spew at every meeting.

  Is there any hope of you coming back to Jehovah?

  by LeftBehind in

  2. friends

  my brother is a self proclaimed apostate.

  i see now that there is a wide variety of posters here.

  so to those that have left the witnesses what would it take to get you back?

  I didin't leave Jehovah at all. In fact my faith is stronger now than it ever was. The problem with most Jws is that they equate God with Watchtower. it's not the same thing. As time goes on I find the watchtower society to be apostate. When an organization tells me that I have to give "implicit trust and loyalty to the faithful slave",that is apostasy. Does not the Bible tell us not to put trust in men?

  So to your question is there any hope of you coming back to Jehovah? Well, I never left Jehovah.

  I heard recently from a dub that the number of "genuine" anointed is much less the the 8000+. Someone from the ivory towers told her that it could be as low as 4000.
