dansk,why do you click on these threats if you don't like them?
I NEVER click on these threads usually! However, this one was started by my mate, ISP
He likes to wind people up and most fall for it. Thought I'd just nip in and wind him up for a change!
That said, I still think the war threads are useless. If someone wants to have a go at the American government what on earth do you think a bunch of xjws from this list can achieve? All such posts do is aggravate some of our American friends here. What's good about that?
Didn't Simon say he wasn't going to allow such threads again, or am I mistaken?

Sorry, Eman, but we can't make it after all

my dad is a jw, trying to reach out to be an elder again......also pioneering.
i saw my cousin , his nephew , the other nite at the dance club......i told him i havent seen my dad, nor heard from him in almost 2 years.
he said he saw him a while back but that he heard he moved.. last time i talked to my dad, it was over me not going to the circuit assembly he was trying to get me to go to.
Lady Lee,
I find you an immense inspiration. I'm truly sorry about your situation - as I am with everone else's here. It's great to know that here one is taken for who they are, not what they are. The unconditional love here permeates my computer screen and then fills my room, my home and my life.
Thanks everyone!
Love,

Unbelievable all of this, isn't it! My two daughters (24) and (19) still haven’t been in contact with either their mum or I for over four months now, both living less than a mile away. The older one’s husband was recently appointed a ministerial servant, so things aren’t likely to get better for quite some time – if at all! The younger daughter is very head-strong, and unfortunately swayed by her friendship with two sisters married to elders.
I can understand it if they were to say I’d been strict as a father. I can’t deny that, but then what’s their excuse with their mum, who’s absolutely wonderful!
Fortunately, my two sons, aged 18 and 13, are right behind their mum and I. Neither has intimated I was ever strict as a father, so maybe I’m still trying to find possible reasons for my girls not being in touch.
The bottom line is, it isn’t our families that are to blame, it’s Watchtower dogma. I have to take my share of the blame here. I taught my daughters too well.
It is extremely hard to believe that the children one took care of all these years can suddenly seem to ignore it all; to seemingly take one for granted.
I feel everyone’s pain here – as I know you do mine. I believe things will get better for all of us. And, let’s face it, had we never been JWs we would never have known one another. That, in itself, is at least one blessing – and a great one at that!

i just thought you'd all like to know...... (personal joke, indulge me please, i'm kind of inebriated...just the necessary amount....).
does anyone else feel that way?.

I find it good to know that there are so many others who have feelings and thoughts similar to my own about the whole jw experience.
That says it all for me, Rocketman!
We all love you BEING HERE, Rosemarie!

Ah, ISP, not another one of these threads! Please, the majority of us are sick of them!

...and i'm afraid.
i know the result of reading this will most likely be putting the final nails in the wts coffin.... .

I knew so much about how the WTS had erred and how the NWT was skewed, but it was like I couldn't see what I saw.
Craig, I'd say that just about sums it up for most of us. It's good to know one doesn't feel stupid alone!
Hi Rosemarie, my much loved friend, congratulations on your excellent purchase. This isn't just about putting the last nail in Watchtower, it's about your being truly set free. There isn't an ounce of bitterness from Ray Franz in his book, just plain facts and a love of God and his fellow man.
After you've finished reading it, your appetite may even be whetted to read his follow-up In Search of Christian Freedom, but one thing at a time. All you need can be found in Crisis - the rest, i.e., the empathetic support, you'll get from this board.
You've absolutely nothing to be afraid of now and your friends here are all with you. Well done on having the strength to proceed forward. Physio is currently reading Crisis, too.
Love and best wishes,

as most are aware, vicki boer has been long awaiting a decision to be handed down in a case she started against the society in canada.. the decision was handed down today.
as with any 55 page decision, it will take some time for the legal experts to hash it over and decipher what was said.
but, in a nutshell..... vicki won.
Absolutely wonderful news, Vicki! We all know how tremendously difficult the entire trial scenario must have been for you - but you had the guts to dig your heels in and stand your ground. We salute your courage! You have helped more people - and not just abuse victims - than you will ever realise.
Bless you, Vicki.

i have some bound volumes:.
watchtower 1951-2001. awake 1987-2001. does anyone have any really good use for them, such as research against the organisation?
if so, let me know here or by pm.
Hi Alan,
I don't mind who gets them as long as they ARE used for research purposes. I would hate them to get into the hands of "loyal" JWs because I wouldn't want anyone else's lives ruined.
Check your PM box. Nic also seems interested!
Best wishes,
