Wow we have someone from Naples in our midst!! When I was there I made sure I had pizza for lunch dinner AND Breakfast. And I'm someone who generally never orders for a pizza. That, and fresh mozzarella balls and the one euro baba rhums from the street sellers. Sigh. :)

I Haven't Missed a Meeting in Years!

by Oubliette in

i recently ran into a jw i knew from a few years back.you know how it goes, a few pleasantries that always seem much more awkward than they really should (not for me, mind you--for him).and then the question, "so what congregation are you attending?

are you able to make the meetings?

"i'm thinking: do you always start conversations this way?so anyways, knowing full well the jw-mindset, i decided to have a bit of fun.furrowing my brow, i said, "that's an odd question!

My own daughter has much suffered; she will get justice in due time.

by TheFadingAlbatros in

just learned today direct from my beloved daughter that she has been abused between 5 and 12 years old by 2 brothers (her own cousins) and 1 family "friend".

she has attempted suicide a few days ago.

luckily she is living and she is not physically injured.

You have a rare optimism for the problems life brings TFA, your daughter will benefit much from it :)

Hope you've been able to have a look at my PM

A Question for Underground Apostates, How Many Are There?

by Village Idiot in

when i first came to this forum i was of the belief that those of us who were still in due to family reasons were few in numbers perhaps one in a thousand in the jws.

soon i came to the realization that there were many more.

we have dozens of posters here who are mentally out but still in.

In short, I think you should add me to the count of underground apostates :-/

I'm visiting family (In another country) right now and I have to pretend to be in. However, I obviously cannot compete with their uberdub-ism without gagging. So I just tag along to the meetings, saunter into FS and tune out during the family study... don't ask how!

I did however rock the boat with mum a couple of nights ago. I mentioned certain things about the fact that the cong may protect pedophiles, that we don't know really where all the money we put in the contribution box goes, and that this could be a man directed organization. She started to freak out!! And I'm not saying freaking out in a way that she's shocked at my insinuations and going to research them, but shocked those things could come out of my mouth.

She already knows I'm not as "zealous" as I used to be and with zero commenting at the meetings she and dad suspect there's something up with me. However, the other night I realized that anything I say to her at this moment is not going to make her see light. She will only hurt that I might be turning away from the "Truth" and talk WT to me endlessly till I turn back ot being the old uber-JW that I was.So what IS the point in hurting a family u see for a couple of weeks twice a year when all they do is worry about you year round?

I've decided to keep my mouth shut and pretend for hte rest of the time I'm here.
