  by Gerard in

  i just found this from

  http://quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com/1874.htm

  i knew there was piramideology involved in their early hocus-pocus but it seems they could not even keep that lie a consistent one!!!

  6 months out and at times doubtful

  it was in may of this year that i resigned as a minsterial servant and stopped attending jw meetings.

  i made a fairly clean break from my congregation without the typical disassociation process.

  while some areas of my exit were very smooth others were extremely difficult.

  Birthdays and Holidays

  by larc in

  we all know the witness position of this subject.

  i think they simply do not understand human nature.

  they say that birthdays make a person self centered and egotistical.

  I agree too, I think we need reminders to show our love and appreciation for our moms, dads, kids, friends etc. We always do love and appreciate them, but life just somehow gets busy or whatever..

  NEW TO YOU ALL...MY STORY

  by rebuilding94 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was born into the witnesses in 1962, i was disfellowshiped when i was 18, because i decided to marry a catholic.

  our first son was born 4 years later, and thinking i had to teach our son about god, which in it self is not a bad thought, so the only thing i new was the jw's teaching's, and yes i went back.. it took them 11 months to decide weather they would reinstate me, 11 month's of no one talking to me, no one coming to see my new baby, allways leaving befor the meeting was completely over, so as not to feel any more hurt then nessecary.

  after i was reinstated i proceeded to raise our 3 children as jw's.

  LOL, you guys are too funny! (organ vs. piano thing)

  From what I remember, the "feeling" was you were not supposed to donate organs. When I first got my drivers lisence it came up and I remember wanting to but being convinced not to.

  I'm happy to announce that I am now an organ donor and proud of it!!

  Have you joined another religion?

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't think i will never join another organized religion.

  that being said however, i have enjoyed going on occasion to non-denominational churches, watching the band play music, and the speaker.

  if you did or would attend another church regularly, which one would you go to and why?

  Wow, ]

  We sure do "run the gamet" in all our responses, don't we? At first, I was just out of the JW's and feeling very fragile and afraid. After a while I joined the Unitarians, and to tell you the truth, it was really great! Terrific group of accepting, loving people with wonderful principles to live by.

  We would probably still be there now if there was a group in the area my family and I moved to. Since there wasn't, we just didn't do anything for a while until a neighbor mentioned the local Presbyterian church they were going to. My husband (an agnostic if anything) and I decided to check it out. As it turned out, the minister is terrific! Understanding and openminded as any I've ever heard of. Most of the church is made up of differing religious backgrounds and almost feels like a non-demominational church.

  Sometimes the sermons make me go"hmmm".... but for the most part, we just take advantage of the good christian principles taught there, enjoy all the "fun" stuff the church does and meet a lot of good people to do things with. We are now active in giving back to our local community because of the church, as they are very involved in helping out the needy, the elderly etc. Something I never did as a JW.

  I'll tell all of you, it feels good to be normal, to be a part of a community helping church, and to not be too hung up on "the semantics".

  since i am new on this forum, just thought i'd share my story.

  parent's nutty jw friends told them to raise children like nazi's, and not allow them to do anything, or associate with anyone other than jw kids.

  Mulan,

  The sisters were threatened to be df'd? In 1992 our area was was doing booming business with BK and there were camps for and against, but certainly no commitee action. Are you sure there wasn't something more to what those sisters were doing? By the way, I don't mean to completely knock the BK in my posts, it's just that it seems to take a lot of money from people and to be honest I haven't seen it work any miracles.... eating well, excercizing and taking multi vitamins have done as much for me (maybe more) than biokinesiology ever did. And what's with the "three brain" title, is that really what is was originally called?
