  I completely understand small town mentality. Is this person looked up to in your town? If not turn it around on him. If he is and his “word” will affect others in your community I would do as avishai suggested. If not taking it all of the way; at least telling “the town” you are going to; of course after telling him you are going to.
  
  I have done it. Just the suggestion of pressing slander charges on the person, fixed the problem for me. (I don’t know if it will be the same in your case) But he is the one that has been in hiding now; not me.

  Not sure if this is the right area

  all - of course i'm new to this board (or any board) and have an 'issue'.

  my father and step-mother are both jw's and i know i can't argue with them.

  however they're important to me and yet after a visit, i feel as if they are chipping away at my own spirit.

  You didn't say old your daughter is. If she is young; please don't let your parents tell her things like "you are going to die if you don't worship Jehovah". Valis is right - don't let them get to your daughter.
  
  You are old enough not to let them "scare" you. Even if your daughter is in her teens; if she had been around your family a lot, she probably trust your parents, she shouldn't she? Now grandma & granpa began telling her about the end of the world. It would scare any child or young adult.
  
  Protect your child above all else.
  
  Welcome.

  waiting,.

  i've been thinking about some of the posters i've met on the exjw boards these past couple of years and you came to mind as one of the most level-headed and balanced people i have encountered on this journey.. i appreciate your humor too.

  we have not always agreed but what the hell, if life were just one head nodding "yes" after the other, we would still be in the tower.

  for the court hearing on july 17, i need examples of jehovah's witnesses who have kidnapped children out of hospital or not provided essential medical treatment.

  this would include children who died for refusing a blood transfusion or needed phychiatric care and commited suicide.

  incase i have been to busy to say thankyou, please forgive me.

  Assembly fun....Final notes.

  by integ in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a couple of things i forgot to mention... -it would not be "wise" to have open bars at witness wedding receptions.. -dating non-witnesses like going to the morgue to find a mate.

  (this was mentioned at the latest circuit assembly as well).. -there are "deplorable conditions" in christendom...not in jah's org.. -we reflect the glory of god by preaching.. -(this is a doosy, and an actual statement made by the speaker)..just as jesus was hated by the world, but was perfect, so too is jehovahs' organization.

  (yes he actually said this).. -3:05 sat.

  Did they have a new date for Armageddon?
  
  And was anything brought out about staying away from DF’ed or Faded family & friends? Things have really been strange between my JW family and me these past couple of months. No phone calls (I live about 700 miles away from them) no emails, nothing. It was abruptly halted.
  
  My mother did call last week (a typical conversation with her is literally a minimum of 2 hours) and told me about my cousin that died. I had to literally keep asking her questions to keep her on the phone for 20 minutes. She was very evasive, wouldn’t really talk about anything. My sister will not answer my emails. Nor my phone calls.
  
  I was wondering if the assembly pushed the no association issue regarding DF’ed or faded family members. (I’m not D/F’ed – just faded)

  Top 10 Signs Your Religion Is Dying.

  by SYN in

  2. beliefs

  your leadership is a bit dodgy.

  for starters, theyre all so close to deaths door that he has repeatedly asked them to stop loitering and just ring the bell.

  theyre so old and wizened that they have a hearse on 24-hour standby.

  Have you noticed that most of the people getting baptized these days at Conventions are children of people who're Dubs already? And that at more and more Conventions, they're not baptizing anyone at all?

  This angers me to no end. My niece's and nephew were "pushed" into baptism. They were continuously being ask “when are you getting baptized?” Isn’t it about time you began to think about baptism?” “You know when Armageddon comes you need to be baptized.”
  
  I remember after I was baptized a sister in the congregation said “this is the first day of your life” you were “born” TODAY.
  
  My oldest niece has always emailed me and talked to me and occasionally called me. I haven’t heard from her in the past couple of months. My other 2 nieces’ occasionally email me and all of that has stopped in the past couple of months. They are all now baptized, kids – not even able to drive yet – being forced into a cult that they will never be able to get out of.
  
  The only way JW’s will increase is to make kids feel GUILTY about not being baptized. Get them while they are young – before they can even think about thinking for themselves. DON’T THINK just get baptized. Then we got you and we can count you and “you can never leave”.
  
  It makes me sick!!!!!!
