Have a Happy New Year honey, wherever Fate takes you....
Take care, QCF x
so i have a couple of options..... 1. an other poster is happy to chat with me but although him and his partner seem lovely i am not sure if i want to, especially at midnight, it's seems a bit sad.
my jw friend is busy tonight with other jws going to a firework night, would have been nice if i wasn't a secret friend now.. 2. my ex collegue fro my mcdonald's years finishes work around midnight / 12.30, but he can't drink, i am trying to get him to be my wing man, but he needs to be in work new years day anyway.. 3. or i can post away here 24/ f ing /7.
i love this place guys i really do, but i am so dependent on you guys for human contact, i need to do something more productive with my time.. there are my three options, which one would you choose?.

and may 2014 be the beginning of the end for the wtb&ts ./ jehovahs witnesses.. smiddy.
.
What a naughty bunch we all are and all the better for it!!!
Happy New Year to you and yours. X
when you were in the truth did you find websites like this and read what the other side has to say?
i am in that stage and i feel as if i'm seeking out the ttatt.
i feel the wt society is hiding way too much.
Keep sharing on here Brother Mike. Lots of knowledgeble and caring people on here.
I would personally walk away while you have little to lose. BUT it is your decision.
Happy and Hopeful New Year to you my friend.
quite simply, most jw's are scared as heck of ever reading information critical of the watchtower society.
deep down they genuinly fear their 'faith' wouldn't stand it.. ignorance and resisting contrary information is the final defense for jw's.
it is the fall-back position they mentally run to at the slightest bit of criticism.
Really enjoyed your post Yadda.thanks.
I reasoned with myself when I wanted to find out ttatt, that a judge in a court case would listen to both the prosecution and defence in order to make a ruling. It would be foolish to only listen and investigate one side of the story.
I rest my case!!!!
re: adjustments to draw close to jehovah.
dear brothers:.
some changes involving our understanding of the meaning of gods name and what it re p- resents have been made to the first chapter of draw close to jehovah.
Can you smell that???I think it might just be bs.again.
is it really true that jw children get gifts 'all through the year', not just for christmas and birthdays like non- jw kids?
as stingy as most jws are, i find that very hard to believe.
plus the childhood magic of christmas and birthdays is totally absent in jw households.
Always bought toys for my son.not extravagant but he had enough.also took foreign holidays and it was fun to buy souvenirs.he loves train and tank games on the pc now.
i have been eyeing this site for some time (years) and finally joined.
i was born in the organization, and grew up not too far were c.t.
russell started it all.
Hi there.
ok, i haven't introduced myself properly.
sorry for that, but i just never feel like i've got something really interesting to say.
so i rather respond on topics of other people.
Hi there.Thank you for sharing.your story is inspiring.the fact you met up with your real love after all you'd gone through.look after each other.it's great that you still have a relationship with your children.I understand loneliness.I often felt alone in the truth and the odd one out.my life has shrunk, socially.my New year's resolutions is to make an effort to get more friends.join a club, do some voluntary work and an exercise class (need to lose weight too!!!). Keep sharing on Jwn.good place, good people. Feel free to message me.
Kind thoughts xx
i was reading an old article in a british newspaper about some jw's (in portsmouth) who had called the police regarding the wording in the 2011 wt, that if someone had da'd, left etc... re; questioning the wt teachings then they were "mentally diseased.
" they said this was "inciting religous hatred".
has this been mentioned again anywhere in the jw literature???.
Hi Kate,
I am still angry about things. I don't know how they could get away with that kind of stuff. It's also a kick in the guts for people who suffer with mental health problems (caused by the WT). Surely, it's not politically correct to write like this nowawdays??
p.s how about going on Oprah??

Does anyone know what happened with this or any similar situations. The wording, indeed is very provocative.
