Welcome Breezy,
Bonsai and fmf have got the Awake for you with the quote. This is really good to use with your parents. They seem reasonable and balanced as they did not encourage pre teen or teen baptism for you, I think they will eventually accept your religious position.
If you show them you can be morally upright and responsible, I am sure they won't shun you as you're not baptised.
Good luck and keep us informed

Following Links to JWT
by konceptual99 injust a wee warning on following links to jwtalk (jwt).
if you are a member there then it is very easy for the mods to identify if you have come in from this site.
they will then ban you.. so, if you are member here and trying to lurk there then don't click on any links to jwt, just copy and paste the link into a new browser tab..

Well I couldn't pass the registration process to join JWT. They have really set up their own cult over there, and doing it in defiance of the GB. They're hypocrites.

I read a few posts from the JWtalk thread. It reminds me of the loving kind sisters in my cong. They are so full of faith Armageddon will come soon, but they are losing loved ones each year. So very sad.

things you dont hear: Protest against Jehovah's Witnesses event in central Israel turns violent
by goingthruthemotions init funny how the cult will imbelish on somethings and others they just sweep under the rug and you never hear anything about it again.
i was just doing some searches on the internet and stumbled on this.
i had heard that the dub's were trying to get people to go to israel and then you never hear anything after that.

The report says that JWs are trying to convince children and teenagers to convert.
This is true they aim at that age group with their simplified recruitment tools.

Is Lying a Disfellowshipping offence?
by stuckinarut2 inso, if lying or being deliberately misleading is a "disfellowshipping" offence, why haven't the brothers who lied to the australian royal commission been brought before a judicial committee?
?.

If the elders want to DF you, they will find a reason. It's being unrepentant that causes the Dfing. But if the elders don't want to DF you they will find you repentant of whatever you have done.
It's all a sham and dependent on your status with the elders

My experience with a Judicial Committee, when in my early 20's
by Dunedain ini joined this wonderful site, only a few weeks ago, although i have been away from the borg, for almost 20 years.
i didnt introduce myself, on a personal level, but i jumped right in, commenting, making threads, and just immersing myself in this community.
what a time, indeed, to be here, its almost as if i was "called" here, because the week i lurked, and joined, was when all this recent stuff came out.

Did an EX-JW wake you up to TTATT or did you put the effort to wake up yourself?
by John Aquila inhow many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.
how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.
how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.

Cedars woke me up. He bumped his site on Google some how and I clicked on it by mistake.....we exchanged few emails and he finally woke me up.
I was experiencing injustice at the hands of elders I must admit.....but still very indoctrinated when I spoke to Cedars.

My brother-in-law just graduated PSS
by Frazzled UBM inso i was scrolling down facebook and i saw that my brother-in-law was getting lots of likes and congrats (including sadly from my wife) for graduating pss.
initially i thought peter pan (he is incredibly immature for a 23 year old) had gone against character and completed some sort of educational or vocational course until i found that pss stood for pioneer service school.
i was tempted to comment how sad this was but instead commented that "no matter how much you do they will always make you feel like it is not enough".

Sorry to hear your wife is sending money to support pioneering. This goes against your belief system and it might result in the the recruiting of vulnerable people. But having said this I am glad you are not forbidding your wife to spend money as she wishes. You are giving her financial freedom in your marriage and treating her as an equal.
