my mother doesn't speak to me although she will exchange emails with me.

we actually don't communicate much, but recently i sent her a few emails detailing things are wrong with the watchtower society.

her responses are laughable... but i am still printing out articles and mailing them to her about the un scandle, she of course doesn't believe it.. but has anyone sucessfully made any headway talking to a dyed in the wool jw and made any progress?

I was a dyed in the wool Jw. I successfully saw the light. But it does take time. My husband tried for 10 years before I realized it all.

Do JWs really grieve?

a strange thing happened to me while watching a television movie on the life of the late nascar star dale earnhardt; i got choked up remembering a close family member who died at an early age.. .

for those of you who aren't familar with earnhardt, his father died when dale was a young man and this movie portrayed him pretty much living his entire life trying to live up to his father's ideals.

of course he died on the race track having some of the same issues with his own son, now a superstar on the track.. .

When my father lost a family member a prominent elder chastised him for grieving. He told my dad that it was setting a bad example for others and it showed a lack of faith in the resurrection.

Scott Peterson is an evil man.

He killed his 8month pregnant wife and dumped her body in a Bay out in California. Months later the body was found along with the body of the baby.

I guess he got what he deserves.

They are hoping that the dubs who read this will open up their wallets and contribute.

Watchtower is soooooooooooo sneaky.

I went to the memorial service for Talia Balletti.

by hubert in

i sent a pm to one of the forum assistants telling him this, and he said i should post and let everyone know how it went.. i didn't want to do this until mario posted first, because it's about his daughter, not mine.

but, i know all you wonderful people out there are waiting for some news on the memorial service, and i think mario is too grief stricken to be able to write right now.

sometimes these things hit you harder after it's all over, because now you have more time to think about it.

Hubert,

I read your update with eagerness. I am glad that you were there on behalf of all of us.

thanx a bunch.

Crisis Of Conscience - What Did The Society Say?

by dh in

jw
friends

i remember reading somewhere online that the society have banned jw's from reading ray franz book; crisis of conscience.

i wondered what the details of this were, have they actually named the book in any of their publications?

or spoken publicly against it?

wannaexit

I remember in the early 80's my father told me that Ray Franz was the biggest apostate society ever encountered. Also that Ray got really jelous that his uncle was president that he tried to take over the society.

I was young and impressionable and thought that Ray must of been like Satan trying to be like God.

When I finally read his books years and years later, I could not believe how a kind and meek person could have been maligned so horribly.

I owe Ray a debt of gratitude for putting the pieces of the puzzle together for me. At the present I am rereading "in search of Christian Freedom."

Free Literature at the Kingdom Hall

by frankiespeakin in

i was thinking for all you guys who go the kingdom hall even though you know it's not the truth,, in order to keep from loosing all your friends and family,, why not take advantage of the wt free literature at your kh?

i mean the wt is forcing you to go to meetings with the threat of being outcasted from your family why not put a little dent in their finances but getting all the free literature you can and not contibuting anything for it.

after all the wt is offering it free of charge.

wannaexit

I have been doing just that for a while now. Every meeting I go up to the literature and get a 5 or 6 brochures, 4or 5 books then I walk over to the mag counter and get a stack of magazines. Then I go home and I throw them into the recycle bin.

But at the end of the month they show up on my service report of course.

BEWARE! This is an Apostate site!!

i'm sure 99% of you know this already, but i'm warning whoever visits here and doesn't know.. .

if any of you still read god's word, i ask you to read eze.

33:11 & prov.

And you have just been infected with the "apostate virus" by being here. Quick call the Presiding overseer of your congregation ASAP and get them to pray over you.

By the way an "Apostate" is someone who has denied the Christ. I for one have not done that and neither have many on this board.

But since you took the time to register here, why don't you stay a while I guarantee you will learn a lot.
