  When my son was little (age 4-5) we happened to sit on the front row during the Sunday talk of the CO visit. My husband sat at isle seat, I sat next to my husband and our son next to me.

  During the talk my son would turn to me so I could help him find the scripture. After the meeting the CO takes me to the side to talk to me.

  He told me that it would have been best if my son would sit next to his dad. As the head of the house my husband should have been the one to help our son with the scriptures not me.

  I told the CO that hubby was a very attentive dad and he and our son had a great relationship but that during the meeting it was always our custom that he sat next to me since his dad would get up to do mikes or sound. CO said it didin't matter because it made my husband look like he wasn't doing his job as the head of the family. I couldn't believe this guy. The funny thing is he never said a word to my husband.

  Are we participants in this forum because of bouts of "loneliness"?

  by Wonderment in

  i wonder how many of us here hold on to this meeting place out of "loneliness.

  could it be that we harbor feelings of "abandonment" and "loneliness" from being left cold and dry by the wt people and our families?

  perhaps we do have a need to reach out to people with similar experiences.

  Leah Remini's book, "Troublemaker"

  by DisArmed in

  just finished leah remini's book, "troublemaker.

  " very good book that easily resonates, i'm sure, with anyone who has exited a cult.

  her life in scientology and eventual exit was a nightmare.

  I saw her interview on 20/20. It was eerily similar to the jw experiences with the shunning and being considered a subversive person. But I wonder if she would have stayed if the incident at the wedding would have been different. I'd like to get the book and read it too.

  To my knowledge and experience, yes it is a true blue pro witness community.

  The administrators are like bloodhounds. If for any reason they peg you as an apostate, bam you a banned.

  As to whether they are in good standing, I don't really know. One thing for sure, the governing body doesn't approve of these forums, so they are bucking the trend and breaking their own rules by overstepping theocratic order.

  Yes I come here because I am lonely sometimes. After a lifetime in this organization, the jw experience is not easily shaken. It great to come to this place, this community of folk where we have a commonality. The lonely dissipates.

  I don't have access to a good translater but here is a translation from Google translate- Not that great but enough to get the idea:

  Press release November 2015- Regain proselytizing among Jehovah's Witnesses, indecency with disgust ...
  November 20, 2015 NEWS Newspaper
  
  On the occasion of the dramatic events affecting our country, members of the Cafés and all who accompanied them want to share their emotion and show solidarity to the families of victims. They reaffirm their commitment to their side to promote the well live together in peace, self-respect, each other and life.
  
  In these circumstances, they denounce forcefully that seek to take advantage of these events, according to several sources, the American Organization of Jehovah's Witnesses. Who would intensify its proselytizing door to door and metro exits, indicating that these are signs of the end of the world, and only the Jehovah's Witnesses would be saved. "Do not be afraid, but rejoice, lift your head, approach the issue", they say.
  
  The height of indecency would be reached that would, with great apparent zeal to surf the attacks right now to recruit new followers bewildered by these terrible events.
  
  And for driving in another radicalism has long denounced, since what makes them happy and pushes proselytizing is that these dramatic events announce the issuance of this world - in their satanic - in which we today live.
  
  Here reappears as the specter of "selective War (sic!) Of Armageddon" advocated by the American Organization of Jehovah's Witnesses, itself. The one who, having "erased" from the face of the earth and in horrible suffering the enemies of "Jehovah", let alone his followers a paradise on earth.
  
  Faced with this deadly objective, which is not without similarities with those we are experiencing,
  
  Faced with this type of improper proselytism and "trash", which seeks to exploit to the public disgust fear in defiance of national mourning and respect for the victims' families,
  
  YOU MUST CALL FOR GREATER AWARENESS AND CITIZEN ACTION OF GOVERNMENT DETERMINED TO PROTECT ALL radicalism THREATEN THEM.
