It's sad so see someone get RI'd, but it's for a good reason to be with his mum. I am glad to see you will support him and be there for him, if he knows TTATT he will really hate the meetings.

feeling low today.
i haven't posted for a long time (forgotten log in details = new username) i'm in a good place with my family now and have built a life outside the religion.. today i found out a good friend has gone back and got himself reinstated to be able to have contact with his elderly mother.
that is the only reason apparently.

famous quote from wuthering heights revised.. '... i am jw.org!
it's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than i am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.
so don't talk of our separation again: it is impracticable...'.
britain is refinancing some soverign war bonds dating from the crimean war, napoleonic war and wwi, 2 $billion worth.
2 century old debt.. our president has been reluctant to begin another war when the debt of the previous two wars hangs heavy.
those of the prowar persuasion have insisted on 'boots on the ground' a move that would require 100,000s of personnel in the middle east and allocating billions in debt to cover the cost.. "every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed" president eisenhower.
Soldiers in Britain tend to come from the most derprived parts of the country and towns where finding work is almost imopossible even with qualifications. Yes war costs a lot in many ways, it costs lives and causes poverty.

husband is completely, beside himself livid.
he's going to the elders on me.
i've havent been to a meeting in over a year.
My daughter is grown up now, but she wore a costume to work and went to a haloween party in the evening, I think they had alcohol instead of sweets (candy) though. It's good to know that everyone can join in no matter how old they are.
I am so sorry to hear your husband put the dampers on the fun, and is going to report you. He is obviously scared the kids will die at Armaggedon. What he is proposing to do is terrible, but don't forget he thinks it is what's best for your whole family. Just try and ignore the elders but show your husband love, and that you are a good wife and mother. Very sorry this is happening, WT is a cult.

there are many things that can be done to make others aware.. perhaps in the following comments it would be good to have suggestions of "direct actions" that everyone can do to have an impact on the wtbts.. .
i suggest as an idea the following if you havent already done so;.
google play app's.
more for the benefit of non-JW's who see the app and think they should install it because it's a "5-star" app with gushing reviews,-88JM
Ahh I see, I hadn't thought of that perspective. Perhaps just being simple and writing "This app is produced by a religious cult" would deter non-JWs. But if you think about it JWs place a huge amount of litterature and hardly anyone gets recruited, but some slip through the net I suppose.

A sad story, but yet more evidence that Jehovah does not protect you more if you go to assemblies. The report says that the driver was wreckless, was he a JW?

Mana,
I applaud your desire to be active and express your views about the organisation, but I personally think this idea will not work. If you put a negative comment for a JW app, all JWs will see it and say "ahh that's just an apostate, we are warned they're bitter".
Our aim should be to help JWs wake up from their indoctrination don't you think?
You may very well be irritated by the comments, but these are fully indoctrinated JWs, I was once like them, but now I am awake. I am awake thanks to activists that did it the right way.

anyone have any leaks on this three hour meeting we are having early november?.
.
.
Just more adhoc meetings to keep the rank and file keen. Just like many have said it will be the same old manipulation, nothing special at all. I can't believe I feel for it all and preached more each time there was a special meeting.
