  Being lied to by parents

  by What is Truth? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean pretty much all parents lie to their children at some point about something and usually it was to protect them or just wasn't something important and it normally doesn't affect the relationship between them and their child.

  but how does a person reconcile and recover their appreciation for their parents after finding out almost everything they taught them was an evil lie?

  i don't mean going back to the same relationship as i know that is gone, especially if the parents are still deceived.

  This could all be avoided, if baby baptism was banned.

  By the time adulthood came around "like 30, as they say jesus was", we would know better than to join the damn cult.

  How Much Do Circuit Overseers Make Under the Table, and is it Taxable?

  i was thinking about green handshakes, and i knew my wife and i personally would try to slide at least $100 each c.o visit to the c.o.

  if we were low on cash, we'd never hand him less than $20.

  how many of such handshakes does he receive in a weeks time?

  Are JW's inflating their numbers?

  it can be anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes!

  as long as you've had a literature discussion three times, you can start counting it as a study.

  first, they say you can now count only 15 minutes a month.

  i was discussing this topic with two friends of mine, ex jws, a few nights ago.

  i think it would be boring after a while.

  you can't smoke, have to drink with moderation (difficult in europe with all the wines).

  An experience at Bethel

  by joe134cd in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was just thinking of something i observed on a visit to bethel some years back, that at the time struck me as odd, but now that i look back on it, it might be revealing about their financial situation.

  please feel free to agree/disagree with me and also bear in mind this is some years back so my memory may be sketchey.

  i remember walking into the front entrance of the bethel to do a tour.

  If the Watchtower truly collapsed, how would you deal with your JW relatives?

  by nicolaou in

  imagine the best case scenario.

  the watchtower society implodes from within even making final printed admissions that it is voluntarily dismantling it's mission and legally dissolving the corporations.

  oh happy day!

  Book Burning and other burning of materials done by JW. Any experiences Please post

  by adjusted knowledge in

  as a very young child i have memories of several book burnings done by jw families.

  it wasn't something arranged by the congregation, but elders did participate in it.

  it was actually scary for me as a child of only about 8 years old.

  If They Stopped Shunning Tomorrow?

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  imagine that the cult decided to stop shunning family members on the proviso that the dfd person was not actively trying to attack the cult.. (please don't debate whether or not this is likely - it's hypothetical).

  how would you respond to your family?.

  personally i think i would be less than cooperative.
