  Getting nervous

  by FourMs in

  i feel like i need to spill my feelings.

  after lurking on the site, i realize my story is like many here.

  the reason i am feeling nervous is that i have not broken the news to my parents yet about my inactivity as well as my standing as to what i think about this whole thing.

  JW's and the internet

  by *jeremiah* in

  2. experiences

  growing up as a jw in the 70's and 80's we didn't have the influence of the internet.

  i, of course, believed i was in "the truth" and never heard anything (from the outside) that negative about our jw religion.

  of course, now and again, we had some angry people at the door, but other than that i can't recall very many outside negative criticisms.

  I have used email as my primary contact with my family since moving several states away for the past 10 years. For the past few months that i have been emailing my mom, sister and niece they have not been replying. I called my mom a few weeks ago (she will not call me) and ask her if she had received my email with the pictures of her great granddaughters. She told me that she really didn't have time to get on the internet any more. I ask her if my sister had pulled them up and seen them because the girls were in the matching dresses that they had given them. She said that my sister hadn't really had time to get on the internet either. Same response for my 21 yr. old niece.

  First my sister pulls my niece (now 21) and nephew (now 19) out of school to home school. They don't use the internet. They pioneer and work part-time jobs and still live at home. How will they ever "see" how wrong this religion is?

  Continuing these practices the "generation" JW's may never open their eyes. My nephew and niece are 5th generation - i don't know if they will ever get out.

  Welcome to JWD.

  You sound like you could be my son IF i had of raised them as JW's! But thankfully I 'saw the light' before they were born and they never had to live through the cult.

  Soul mates are everything aren't they! I married mine 13 years ago, he doesn't even realize that when i get on a rampage about JW's that just by him listening (i'm not saying he understands by any means) but just by listening and holding me makes everything alright.

  Please say hello to my wife.

  i've been posting here for quite a long time, so long in fact that it just doesn't feel right that my wife isn't a part of it.

  earlier today i created an account for her with the username heron, she'll know why.

  i'm not sure if my wife will ever post here but i would feel much more comfortable knowing she is aware that i do.. this is the one post i am going to ask her to read.. so, i'd really appreciate it if you could say hello to my lovely wife.
