  a woman has a blood transfusion during pregnancy.

  this blood, obviously, now constitutes the unborn child's circulation.

  kid gets born, becomes of age and wants to become a jw.

  finally after five years i have finally shut the door very firmly on the witnesses.

  i have had this "sister" calling for over the last six months clearly trying to reactivate me,but never mentioning the reason why me and my family left the forfar congregation two years ago.

  it was always any subject but the " elephant in the room" well today was the finale.

  Using the tv.jw.org as a wake up tool with my kids

  by konceptual99 in

  2. friends

  so, i have been badgered recently to do some kind of family study by my wife.

  thanks to tv.jw.org i now have a really easy tool to use that not only passes this time but actually makes them question the organisation.. our sessions skipping through the delights of the monthly broadcast have been very interesting.

  derision at the wooden delivery of the gb.

  For those that are still in and awake....is jw.TV really the best thing for young children? Is waking them up and teaching them to live double lives really the wise choice?

  I firmly believe that kids need to see integrity and parents standing up for what is right. We could end up breeding a whole load of fake elders that don't believe in WT at all but just playing the company game and getting privileges.

  This sort of lifestyle is one that I don't condone. We need to get our children out not teach them how to get away with waking up and staying in.

  Sorry to burst everyone's bubble. It's great to see new users, but they are not necessarily newly awakened or newly exited from WT.

  Some newbie posters are long time ex-JWs.

  Nevertheless it's good to see new users or lurkers.

  So my dad comes from vacation and ???!!!

  by Kool Jo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hello folks.....so in an earlier thread i started, you'd realize that my father and i are quite close, we talk about almost everything/anything.. he traveled outside the country (he's semi-retired), enjoying the fruitage of his hard labor during his younger years.

  so he recently returned home after he and mum went away to catchup with some old friends in another country.. upon his returning home, and subsequently to the meetings, he was told that a decision was made to strip him of his "field overseer" role, but will still continue to be an elder.. the reason...he goes away for too long too often...you can't be away from your congregation for three months out of the year!!!???

  has anyone else had this experience before?

  Kool Jo,

  Glad your dad is looking forward to flying out somewhere nice. Having a nice life now is what counts as long as he's not hurting anyone.

  I thought it was interesting how the Church of Scientology tried to silence ex members and even lied about being a JW to do this. Very telling indeed.

  The article ends with a more balanced view, but as any ex-cult member would know, putting that much effort into silencing ex members is a cause for concern.

  "it is perfectly apparent that god is monstrous, utterly monstrous, and deserves no respect whatsoever.

  the moment you banish him, your life become purer, simpler, cleaner; more worth living in my opinion.".

  great answer to a stupid question - what would you say if you're wrong, if god does exist and you go to meet him when you die?.

  Serena Williams

  by New day in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a big tennis fan and today i watched serena williams win the australian open, one of the four tournaments which make up the pinnacle of achievement in the tennis world, the grand slam.

  in her victory speech the first thing she said was that she thanked her god jehovah for the victory.

  now i know that rumours have circulated for a long time as to whether she is a baptised witness or not, but she is definitely associated with witnesses .

  Well I think it's ridiculous her thanking God for her tennis win. When I was a believer it baffled me to see sports stars and celebrities claiming that they were JWs. Now it doesn't surprise me cos I know it's all fake.

  Good for him if he's retired in his fifties. Your parents should be spending their time travelling and seeing the world if they can afford it why not.

  Sadly as JWs their reputation will be called into question, but thankfully they will see what the WT is really like and wake up from their bind.
