  Here's an experience I had.......

  by WingCommander in

  2. experiences

  .....around the mid 1990's.

  there was a sister in our congregation that was very poor.

  she was kind, dressed very modestly (not in shreds, even though poor) and was missing some teeth, probably because her non-jw husband used to get drunk and beat her.

  thank you all for the great messages you have written, both publicly and privately.

  it figures that the one time i start a topic and it turns into 10 pages long, it's about my dad!!

  the funeral will be held next monday, december 29th, at radcliffe crematorium.

  I just went back and read your dad's Biography from a few years ago. He was a truly wonderful man and so like many of us.

  "19 years associated, including 15 years baptised. My wife and I started studying around 1985 out of concern for our children's future more than anything else. I look back now and see how we were clearly lied to. Our motivies were pure but the society hoodwinked us. I would dearly love to see the society utterly and completely destroyed so that families all over the world can be reunited and thousands of other people can be saved from the heinous cult hold that once enmeshed my wife and I. Happily, my wife, two sons, one daughter and I are completely free of Watchtower now but it still has a strong hold over my older daughter, who is currently shunning us. We shall not be emotionally blackmailed and it is up to our daughter to come back to us as we shall never set foot in a kingdom hall again. There is a wonderful life outside of the organisation, where love and friendship is not conditional. Spiritual enlightenment comes from within oneself and not from any religious teaching. "

  Hi Steph.

  It's been a while since I've logged in to JWD and am shocked to hear of your dad's passing. He was greatly loved and respected out here.

  Please accept my sympathy for your tremendous loss.

  this is not based on polictics.

  it is based on what you would personally do in a specific circumstance.

  please do not base your answer on a democratic or republican response.

  When I was carrying my children, I would have contacted the doctor Immediately if anything out of the Ordinary was going on.

  My son met his wife on the Internet. They've known each other now for about three years. It's a new way to meet people but you've still got to be careful.

  Do black Americans claim Obama as one of their own?

  by digderidoo in

  2. friends

  i was watching an interview with a black american recently about barrack obama.

  interestlingly he said that black americans find it hard to claim him as one of their own.

  he said that black people would much prefer to have someone who is from the stereotypical upbringing of a black american to be the presidential candidate.

  I think blacks like Obama because he is a Good Man with a Positive Outlook.

  i'm new to this site and just thought i'd share a little bit about myself.. i was born and raised in los angeles, grew up as a jw and left the org when i was 22. i wasn't df'd or da'd, i just faded (very quickly).

  i left the org 10 years ago and never looked back....or so i thought.

  it wasn't until recently that i realized how much of a hold they still had on me.

  Hi Cal & Welcome!

  If you haven't read the book "Crisis of Conscience" yet, please do. The Watchtower does indeed have a strong hold; it took me 13 years after I left to look into it.
