The Search: around 10 years ago my daughter came out to visit her mom, they

all (my four kids and family) vacation in Caribbean. My two girls are still JW's, the boys left

we me. So I was happy the kids were together, they had a great time. Two months later my

one son was schedule for a two day business meeting in her state, so he called her and told her he

would love to meet her one day for lunch. She e-mailed him and told him he is not welcome.

slimboyfat:Over the years(29) my JW family is so F--- up, they don't know if they are coming or going.

Chook:Yes my brother and I wasn't raised JW's. Mom and Dad showed us unconditional love.

The most sick statement put in JW print

by Chook in

wt 1973 p568.

"did you know, for example, that mothers and fathers that stroke the genitals of their fretful babies to keep them quiet are unwittingly encouraging them to become maturbators later on?".

what sick fu... writing this article thought the the average person did this to keep kids quiet..

Be carful if you are a young man and sleep on your stomach may cause masturbation,

not in print but my nephews were told that at Bethel....

Thanks Mrs flipper. Indeed a tough one "what kind of people the cult has made her",

that's the key to rekindle the relationship....

her, the door is open.

I have reservation folks. JW's can be so fickle minded at times.

First of all she told me my JW brother Elder told her she needs to see me, not her decision.

I would hate to call and she told me, dad I only came by because my new husband and your brother encouraged

me to do so.

The most frighten part about all this when she walked in I thought she was my ex-wife, same fake smile,

same speech, body movements it was weird. I know it's silly but my ex was a evil lady.

The main reason I haven't call, if she say something stupid (I only came by because of the pressure),

it will set off my anxiety problems. Over the years I have learned to control my PTSD and don't

want that to start up again. I will give her another month and I will call and if she get weird on me,

OH LORD I will go off..

So what do you think friends????

What do you think would have happened to you if...

by LevelThePlayingField in

you found out about ttatt way back in the 70's or maybe the 80's (basically before the internet) and you thought that you were all alone in this knowledge?

what do you think would have happened to you?

no jehovahs-witness.com, no john cedars, no arc, no jwfacts.com and no crisis of conscience to fall back on.

James Mixon

The year 1974 my friend, fellow elder DF. He was one of the good elders, very kind.

I ask him one day, why? He told me Crisis of Conscience, have you heard of it.

Three years later I was out. Didn't find out about this place until the 90's and the rest is history and

so is JW.org.

Who writes Awake! ?

by Drwho in

just a quick question.

who actually writes the awake!

and the watchtower publications ?

The shunning has started and... I like it!

by oppostate in

so not having turned in a time-slip in a loooooooong time and making fewer and fewer meetings, and from time to time attending a local church service... the majority of local dubs are overtly shunning me.

there are those who i talk to and who visit our home from time to time, but this last meeting i went to hardly anyone made eye contact, when i greeted folks passing by me, they ignored me.

it actually felt good.. i was surprised at my reaction.

James Mixon

Magwitch: It's so funny when you walk up to A JW and ask them, how are you and

watch them run. My sister- in-law ran off and left her items at the checking stand (Walmart). My wife

ask what was her problem, she looked like a crazy lady.

opposite: That's comical "shunning and I like it". Maybe we are looking at shunning in

the wrong way. Can you imagine asking the elders to shun you. You folks who are sitting on

the fence and dread the day when you may be shun, take the power

away from the elders. I can see a WT article, we have reports of JW's asking to be shunned so what

do we do now. Lets step up to the plate folks, shun me I don't give a damn.

That's the only power they have on most, but if you know it's not truth it's just a matter of time.

JW elder on the street I live in.

by Thisismein1972 in

so just the other day i happened to look out my window to see the cobe and the elder who studied with me on the doors.

it got me thinking.. i remember one day, during my study that he said he loved me.

although he meant this as a "brother" it actually sent me into, what i can only describe as shock and alarm!

James Mixon

It's strange, you learn true love when you leave the the WT.

If anyone claimed that god speaks to them personally.....

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

they'd be viewed as completely mentally ill and laughed at.. so, how do the governing body get away with it?.

James Mixon

Around 400 B.C Greek physician Hippocrates the first to treat mental illness about the same time

the God stop speaking with humans. In the OT God spoke to hundreds, in the books

of the prophets it's every where, "and the word of the Lord came to me". So it's very strange

after treating people for mental illness (400 B.C), the numbers dropped in regards to people speaking with GOD.

This guy decided to go ice fishing so he cut a hole in the ice, he heard this loud voice "there is

NO fish under the ice". He stopped and looked around and thought "God is speaking to me".

So he moved to another spot and drilled another hole and the voice loud and clear, "there is no

fish under the ice". He stood up and lowered his head and ask, God is that you?

The voice came back," no this is the manager for this Ice skating facility.
