  by Jen1 in

  what is the best way to make freinds while fading.. i have no friends outside jws.

  and if i tell a friendly jw how i feel, it would not be confidential.

  i am thinking of joining a day time group, but what!

  Hi Jen, I recognize the feeling. Hobbies and things you like to do are a great starting point to find people that might end up becoming your friends.

  I'm DF'd for over ten years now and have had a difficult time in finding friends and now I'm starting all over again in a new country, so I'm actually at the same point as you are right now. Questioning "where do I go? What shall I do?" So I've started with Spanish lessons two days ago and planning on being able to communicate with local people here within two months. Then it'll be a lot easier for me to connect with people and maybe I can ask our landlord for some help. He's a very nice guy and his wife is also lovely, we just cannot communicate with them yet. So the language is my first goal and then I'll go out and connect with others.

  one of the founders of rock n roll passed earlier today, 74. as bob dylan said "we owe these guys everything".. we saw them in concert a few years ago with simon and garfunkel, who equally praised their pioneering work.

  they sounded great.. here they sing bob dylan's "abandoned love".

  I love them both, Everly Brothers and Beatles. So sad that Phil has died, but he'll always be remembered for the great music he and his brother have left us.

  we and our unbaptised children have now been cut off by our last jw family members.

  cowardly email at the bottom and my response just below.

  sorry it's rambling and probably not the best thing to send, but we are upset and angry.

  Don't think they'll read it, but it's always good to vent...

  Reasons for reading about the hidden secrets of the Watch Tower religion

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the volume of e-mail i have received from still-in jw's because of reading my book has startled me.. somebody sends them a copy and they secretly read it.

  that's gratifying enough, certainly, but--they take the.

  trouble to e-mail me or contact me on facebook, and that boggles my mind.. .

  Do you think JWs know what apostates really are?

  by KateWild in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my friend was slagging off one of my other friends saying they have been known to say apotate things.

  she does apostate things herself without realising it.

  she meant well because she fears the word apostate as i once did, but she openly says to me my jc was lacking in holy spirit.. she doesn't have a clue what apostacy really is she just wants me not to mix with ones who have been known said "apostate things".

  Indeed Gladiator, not nice... just had my dog vomiting and before I could clean it he already ate it, the dirty bastard! YUK!!!

  But I think Kate/Sam is right, JW's fear the WORD 'apostate', like they fear 'demons' or 'Satan'... but they really have no idea what it really means.

  Does bring a memory back that I made up some new (funny) words to a 'kingdom melody'. Wow, what a major mistake that was! My dad heard me and told me angrily that those songs were 'sacred' and it wasn't allowed to change any words!

  "the truth" it seems to me like a lightbulb.. .

  when i think of "new light", i don't think of the sun or the moon or the stars.

  an ever present ray of light.

  It's heart warming to read your story. It's like getting a sneak peak through a time machine... And the accent, well I've seen Forrest Gump haha, can imagine a bit how she must have sounded. Will listen to the song later today! And please post a picture of her, I'm curious what your grande ma ma looks like.

  Thanks for sharing FHN!

  (I've had a wonderful grandmother as well, haven't seen her the last decade, since she's still a JW and 'because of her conscience' she's 'not able' to see me again... ever... She's 89 and I terribly miss her )
