so, some of you may have seen my thread from yesterday about my wife waking up.. we had further discussion yesterday evening after i sent her the pbs video on the abuse scandals plaguing the watchtower.
she was so furious and pissed off at wt hq.
apparently a close relative of her's was abused by an elder and the only reason he was reproved and removed as an elder was because he confessed.
I would buy a hard copy and place it around the house. It'll be more tempting to read it versus an email which you can easily close and ignore.
You can always read it together. One chapter at a time, then give her time to digest the information until she's ready to read the next.
first off i want to say that i'm a teenager which makes my situation interesting.
i don't want to give too many details in case someone i know reads this but i'm between 14 and 18, homeschooled, and i've been awake for around one or one and a half years.
i already have a plan to attend usc or wisconsin university if i'm smart enough to get in and then move to san jose and try and get a job working for a hs football team or with a soccer team, since i want to coach sports or be an agent.. now, this all sounds great in theory but there's one thing i've been thinking about that makes me doubt my plan.
Its common to think that a girl who you've known for a long time is the one but you really don't know until you start into serious relationship, the WTS tries to interfer a lot into that investigation.
I've always wondered how you can possibly truly know someone while you're in there as there are so many restrictions on what you can/can't do and people hanging over your heads. To explore the depths of a person requires a one of one relationship.

You're fully aware of the situation from the get-go. If you haven't seriously been involved yet, it is not worth it to get involved and wear your heart on your sleeve only to mostly likely be led into a torture filled situation.
Your'e not in yet, get involved with someone who fully accepts and adores you, as you.
If you're going to test the murky waters anyway, take your time and strictly be her friend as you plants seeds and see where she lands.

cappytan, lol that video with the Disney trolley song combined with the magazine is hilarious.
If they justify it by old light, why even use the excuse it was speculation among rank and file JW's?
Why does it matter if it's "old light" if they've made a false prophecy? The point isn't whether something is old or new, it goes against their very own Bible beliefs of not following anyone who predicts the future in their God's name.

(before you read i hope no one gets offended by the word retarted...that s how i thought when i was 13)my mom and dad are divorced and my father never helped my mother on raising us, so basically she was a single-mother.
he just abandoned my three brothers and me and my mother had to work two jobs all of the time so we never got to see her.
when we did see her it was after school, but all she did was yell at us, make food, and leave to her next job.
i watched this tonight and it made me think.......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=almbxqvwpei have a look x
today... i'm going to talk to you..... about "sisters!!".
now our dear sisters... have a place ... in god's organisation.

That man reminds me of Heaven's Gate cult leader..
