Just wanted to share my little bit of good news.

by nicolaou in

i haven't been posting here much lately, i think i only created one topic in 2018!

but this is worth it.. i am a grandfather 😊.

it happens all the time but damn, it feels good.

Introduce myself

by dantoole87 in

i'd like share why i went from being a teenager determined to work in full time service for jehovah my entire life, to now being on here commiserating with you all.

i use to be an atheist but i now believe in god.

but i'm not preachy about god.

dantoole87 I also believe that the elders can be good if they wanted to truly reflect Jesus love towards the flock, I'veknown about Jehovah my whole life and trusted the elder arrangements , so when my son that committed sin, confessed to me I wholeheartedly told him go to elders they will help you and since your repented and want help they won't desfellowship you, he was just 18 and these men have known him since he was 4 yrs old they knew he was a good kid , he came out crying from the judicial committee he was getting dfd. He said when they were done they said "there's the door", I'm in tears still every time I think about this, so that year very difficult my son graduating high school no friends to hang out with , all his friends in kingdom hall, I received so much love by so many on this site, even a few wonderful people went out of their way giving me telephone number and email . Just one advice to you try to stay close to your daughter as much as possible this way you show her what love truly is

Welcome , I have found comfort on this site , so many experiences, with the body of elders that are supposed to care for the sheep mistreat them, I still go to meetings and like you said there might be a sincere elder that wants to help but they are persuaded by the opinions of the rest and don't think for themselves , just a question If you had a medical Marijuana card would it be OK to use it for anxiety ? , don't know , sending you my love 💜

Shunning video questions

1.if the parents were to have no contact with there grown daughter why was she still in the house,?

there were also not supposed to grieve like aarons household yet they appeared to be grieving.

3. aaron case is different in that his entire family was not included in the no grieving?

As a mother of a df gay son , it is unconcivable for my husband and me to shun our son, it is so unĺoving , he goes through so many emotions and situations and he needs us, I can't imagine pushing him aside and treating him that way, at the meeting this week my husband and I just looked at each other 😐 (inconceivable )

Land of the living dead

by hoser in

one of my children got disfellowshipped recently.

i was worried about that some of my jw friends and jw relatives would mention it to me and it would make for awkward conversation as i am glad that he is out.

i went to a jw family gathering.

Rebecca 619

Hoser, I also have a son that's desfellowshiped , no one ever asked for him or bring him up, I always mention something like he's doing well in school or something like he helps me caring for my aged mother , and 😑 it's like he doesn't exist , so sad

This is so awful , can't imagine ever shunning my child , my son was dfd when he had just turned 18, he was so conflicted with being gay, hated himself for it all I can do is love him no matter what, my husband and I will be there for him always ,

Should I get babtized?

by BlackWolf in

jw
friends

i know this sounds like a ridiculous question but i was talking with my mom in the car today and of course we got on the topic of getting babtized again.

she told me that jehovah holds me accountable for my sins regardless of wether i am babtized or not so i have no reason to be holding back because it won't change anything.

my parents are the type of super strict jw who will shun you just for not being a witness.

Rebecca 619

Blackwolf; if I knew then what I know now, I would have never encouraged my son to get baptized , he wanted to my husband was an elder my other son baptized so he did also , he was 17 got df at 18, now every person he grew up with doesn't even acknowledge him he's moving on but I see his pain every day I tell him he can have a relationship with God, and that Jehovah knows his heart there are so many 20 some things that haven't got baptized and they associate with the congregation and just because my son got baptized made a mistake I feel I contributed to his sadness now because should have told him no don't get baptized, that's just my opinion .
