That poor lady. Hugs to her.
Kate has given great advice. She knows all about broken families.
I hope you get this sorted out.
ok, so my mom is finally out of the organization!!!
which is awesome!
she has been a witness for over 60 years, but for the last 15 years or so she's been one of those that listens in on the phone and had depression issues and couldn't make it out in service much, you know the type.

it's hard for me to start this topic bc i feel like i'm being judgmental, a quality i don't like in others and one i try to stay away from as much as possible.
i really do try to be an understanding, caring person.
i essentially believe that all people are good and i am shocked to my core when i am betrayed.
Just don't let Hannah near any pet rabbits.
Seriously, she sounds unstable. I mean clinically so. She needs psychiatric help and soon before she does something stupid, like abducting the baby.
Has she any family or other friends you could talk to about her behaviour?? Do you know her doctor, maybe?
She is on a bad road, don't let her go any further down it.
You did the right thing posting here.
Hope it will work out okay.

I don't blame him.He had enough the first time.
i am so happy to be out of the cult.
i would never go back!
i don't know some still could accept this religion, be here, regularly and not just get out..
Happy as Larry, that's me!!!!
so recently there have been several posts with references to talks and articles that imply the following:.
most of those who learn ttatt or fade from the "truth", are actually practicers of bad things, eg immorality, hence that is why 'we' now find fault with the org?.
i find this so offensive that they imply such.
I don't believe in that crap. I think I'm a better person since I left the WTBS. I don't judge people or think my faith is superior.
I know what God and Jesus think of me and I'm cool with that, thank you.
been lurking for years, but couldn't log on.
for some reason, my email spam filter is inaccessable, and ended up having to open another account, simply to become a member... wonder how many others have had a similar problem.. its been an eye opener reading everyones life experiences, often so similar.. i was almost a born in, with a hardcore family.
abusive stepfather who was one of the original jws in the area, so much so, that it was called the xxxxx family religion.... been out for 25 years, am glad every day for that!!.
Hi Mikado and welcome.
I know the feeling about having that reaction when seeing the witnesses. It just gets you like that sometimes. Keep talking, you obviously need to get some things off your chest. Counselling will help, if it's interfering with your life.
Were you sad about your stepfather dying? Did you wish you'd told him about how angry you were etc....
i'm not gay but i do support gay people against hard line christians that forget the principles our lord demonstrated when he lived among us.
jesus had compassion for the outcasts women and tax collectors outside of society of that day.
i find it hard to accept gay people haveing relationships and sexual relations but i find it even more devient of me not to show christian love and acceptance of these people.. i am encouraged by the response of the netherlands union conference of sdas and as you know the sdas are like a sister church to the jw religion and is just as conservative.. the world sda church has adopted guidlines for the response to alternative sexual practices.
Thanks Bazza.
a couple of paradise earth questions: .
1) if you are a married, baptized witness couple (both people being baptized) and armageddon arrives, will the couple still be married on paradise earthtm?
2) if you are married to an unbelieving mate (ubm) and armageddon arrives, will the witness be free to remarry on paradise earth?.
What a load of cak.

I agree. Not to show love is un-Christian and judgemental. A bit like the Jdubs!!!

Don't let the witnesses think we care. Don't give them a reason to feel "persecuted". Ignore them like you would a spoilt child who wants attention. Don't fan the fire.
