  Big Day fast approaching Letting go

  by rebelfighter in

  the big day is two days away when she will say "i do".

  i knew this day would come someday but as a mom you just want to hold on even though i did everything to train her to be very independent.

  she has been making most of her own decisions since middle school.. she moved away 5 years ago but still was totally mine till 2 years ago when mr. wonderful appeared in her life.

  RIP dad, who introduced me to this fairytail of everlastin life and paradise :(

  by Frezia in

  less than 5 hours ago my great dad fell asleep the last time :( still in a bit of a shock and sad that i will not see him again...i promised myself that once he is here no more, i will somehow make my move out of this organisation who kept us all captive believing in a fantasy of an everlasting life :( i am in a tricky situation, since raised as jw, still in, married to an active jw, and pretty sure that all in my social and family circle will turn their backs on me if i finally say goodbye to a fairytail ;(.

  this really works.

  i've already applied the basics of this with one elder who "offered" us a shepherding visit.

  we've been totally ignored since!!!

  Great advice. I also like the idea of playing the stumbled card and switching to a nearby hall.

  The UK WTS companies' accounts documents for 2015 are currently available to download and here's information plus links

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the uk wts companies' documents for 2015 are currently free to download from the uk government's companies house website.

  the person who sent me this information said that it appears they are testing a new form of the website, so access to documents may in the future revert to a pay per file system.

  therefore, he advises getting copies of documents as soon as possible, as he doesn’t know when the testing phase will finish.

  Dissenters in Watchtower History: Differing Departures

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i'm reading an excellent book about defectors from the mormon church called differing visions: dissenters in mormon history.

  through a collection of essays from many academic authors it looks at the life stories of dissenters and reasons for departure, as well as analysing the impact of their dissent on the church itself.

  fascinating stuff and makes me wish there was a similar volume looking at the key dissenters from jws/watchtower and the impact they had.

  The Elders want to meet with me and the hubby... Lol lol lol

  by Sevan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so the elders called wanting to meet with me and my husband.

  most likely because i told a concerned jw friend of mine that i really care about that i wasn't coming back and a couple of the issues i had.

  i didn't bring up any so-called "apostate" information, just told her about the australian royal commission and that there are a lot of unscriptural teachings and that the gb apply scriptures that are about jehovah and jesus to themselves, which is idolatry.
