What the hell?!?
by happysunshine ina shipowner was about to send to sea an emigrant-ship.
he knew that she was old, and not overwell built at the first; that she had seen many seas and climes, and often had needed repairs.
doubts had been suggested to him that possibly she was not seaworthy.

I spent most of my life juding other religious beleifs as wrong. Why should I waste any more of my time telling jw's are wrong.
Excellent point Joanna... I agree with you whole heartedly

Explanation Owed
by Carmel inin my previous post about losing one of my older brothers due to the elders insisting he attend an assembly against his doctor's advice, i should say that this happened in 1958 at a time when i was too young or aware to take any action, legal or otherwise.
i had just been df'd and only found out the details of the death at a family gathering after the funeral.
i am sure he gave in to the pressure of the elders (not sure there were elders back then) as well as the family pressure to go along with the system.

I am deeply sorry for the loss of your brother.. I am not sure what you are asking from us??
Is it that should you search you other brothers out or not??
If you do find them, and you want to have a relationship with them, it might help to think they at the time, they were under the "spell so to speak" of a cult....
Let them explain before you judge, remember, that is one of the main reasons most of us left the borg.

Because confronting means losing....
I do not want to confront my parents and tell them what I know because I still want them in my life. Ok maybe I am just chicken S*&^t but that is the road I take.
My parents firmly believe in what they are doing is right.... What right have I got to take that away from them? It gives them hope and happiness. I was one of the lucky ones. I didnt have a hard up bringing as a witness. In many ways it protected me...
I will not take that away from them

Let me introduce myself...
by aarque ini've done a lot of lurking and have put in my two cents a few times on this board, but just realized i've never introduced myself here.. i'm one of five who was raised as jws.
my mom began studying not too long after she married; dad was totally against it.
coming from a divided household, we were treated as an nonentity in the congregation.

. I think he misunderstood, or didn't read the whole post, before he wrote his comments.
Well Mulan if that is the case, then he owes Tatiana a huge apology! It was a thoughtless and heartless comment.
Hip - Grow a heart....you heartless cow
Tatiana.... You are an incrediable woman. I find as I read through people's posts, all the different heart aches and trials they had to go through all in the "name of Jehovah".
You are strong.. I look up to you and I know that I can face anything because I get strength from your story and life.
(((Tatiana))) We are here for you.. Thanks you for sharing something that must be really difficult for you to tell.
Love Kelpie
