  In a tight spot.......and unsure what to do!

  by Redneckgurl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have not posted in several months..........way too much emotionally for me to deal with everything, since my family is all "in the truth" and i am the black sheep

  well here is my dilemma.........we are going to celebrate halloween with the kids on friday

  there are several in the congregation who still call me to do their hair.........i don't want to do it anymore, but don't know how to tell them as many of them are elderly and i love them dearly.......i don't want to hurt them, ya know?

  lo and behold, this was a "special" meeting b/c the "circuit overseer???

  " was there to put his spin on things.

  Spring 2003

  for those of you residing in the northern hemisphere, there's nothing more satisfying than the onset of spring.

  this a.m., after working a long shift at work, i arrive home after 5 a.m., and it's pleasantly mild (i live in toronto) and the sky is partly cloudy.

  the moon is no longer full, but still very bright.

  Is everyone bitter against JW's?

  by Redneckgurl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have to post this question, because as i was trying so hard to talk to my husband about what i am learning and what others are saying, he is saying i am not doing this objectively at all, and only hearing things from bitter exjw's who are angry at the org for something.

  i say this isn't true, i wasn't searching for answers due to a negative occurance in my life, and i don't believe everyone here was either.

  he says i am only emotional about this, and trying to find reasons to prove all the things i have learned as wrong.

  The Knock at the Door After the Prayer

  by stevieb1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this experience is commoly related by jehovah's witnesses:.

  a man or woman is desperately searching for "the truth" or someone is about to give up on life but before they do they utter a prayer to god and lo and behold a knock is heard on the door and behind the door are jehovah's witnesses.. these experiences are used by jw's to confirm angelic direction on their work and seems to reinforce in them that they have the "truth".. how does one argue against such personal experience?.

  i am no longer a jw and no longer support their organizational teachings by the way, but i'd like to throw out the above question to you all for comment and consideration.. .

  how i got here

  by danb71 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after having looked at this site for almost a year and recently made small replies to threads, i should introduce myself to you all and tell you how i got here:.

  i was raised as a jw.

  it didn't take long to figure out that to have more independence at home, i'd better be a stand-out jw.

  "You know it is, you know!"

  by Redneckgurl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i kept hearing these words from my mother today, she kept saying, "you know it is the truth" "you know the end is coming" "you know there is only one true religion, there is only one truth" "you know, you know, i know you do".

  aaaaahhhhhggggg!

  it makes me sick to hear her say that, i have always responded to those words with "yeah, i know", but this time i didn't.. a friend that i haven't spoken with in quite a while from the kh da'd herself the other night, i found out.

  as a faithful and zealous witness, nothing can question your faith.

  but one day, something does!

  you begin to have doubts.

  My introduction...hopefully not too long!

  by Redneckgurl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am going to try to introduce myself without giving away any evidence of who i am as i am not df or da, but just wanting to figure out what is right for me to do!

  i was born into the jw world only to have parents df as a young child and we celebrated all the holidays without the "holy" meanings and i have such wonderful memories of that.

  when i was 10, the elders stopped by and the rest is history.......i had to quit dance lessons, stop going to my friends house, and no more birthday parties, etc etc.
