Need help. Daughter wants to leave org but does not know how.

long question, but very important.. i can use some help.

my daughter wants out of the organization and i need some advise.. here is my background in a nutshell.

i am fully faded for 10+ years.

Larry you were fortunate that when you decided to fade you had a family in place. Am I wrong in stating, though, that your wife will not travel with worldly friends that you have? That’s not living a full life if you are still picking friends because they go to a specific building on Sunday.

Your daughter is at a point where she needs to be able to build her life and that is not easy to do while faded. It took me 16 years to finally rip off the band aid, leave my friends and family behind and finally start living my life at 36. Up until then I was never truly happy because I was living for other people. Couldn’t date, had no real friends, was miserable every time I stepped into a KH.

Your daughter sounds young, encourage her to dream and plan out her perfect life, from the car she will drive, to where she will live, what she will do with her children on Saturday mornings. If that doesn’t include the org help her to rip off the band aid and tell her it’s ok to say a big F you to all those that will shun her. But she is in a much different place in life than you were when you faded and your tactics probably won’t work for her.

Reinstatement

by Pinky in

what questions do the elders ask you when you are in your meeting requesting to get reinstated ?.

floridaborn

Thanks John. P that’s exactly what I was getting at. The original congregation that DFed you had to reinstate you, so what if that Cong has been dissolved?

didn't they use to print crossword puzzles in the awake?

i vaguely remember my mother doing them, and me trying to do them when i was a small child.

is this an accurate memory or could i be thinking of a non-jw publication.

I remember the watching the world where they criticized the Catholic Church for taking credit card donations

I loved those crossword puzzles. You had to get the word from the scripture

New releases at annual meeting??

by _Morpheus in

this has been mentioned in passing but it seems to deserve its own thread.. this year at the rc, no releases.

instead they wait to drop them at the annual meeting which isnt a even simulcast event.

what is their thinking?

floridaborn

Because it gives the excitement for everyone to hear about the king of the north at the same time. This is a great marketing move. The hype is a whole lot greater than spreading it out over a year of RC’s. Now everyone can read and talk and be excited at the same time. The hype of this will be nauseating

Lies, Deception and Half-truths. Today's WT

by Slidin Fast in

today's wt was a masterly study on how to manipulate the faithful's attitude to the study of facts and truth.

in the last clam of september we have this justification of a half-truth uttered by jesus..

joh 7:8-10 —did jesus lie to his unbelieving fleshly brothers?

floridaborn

So than Jackson’s testimony at the ARC was a lie?

Russia=King of the North, USA=King of the South? New info coming in from Annual Meeting 2018

by Jules Saturn in

it was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.

for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.

very interesting times!

Perfect timing for this since they are getting all kinds of bad publicity. Whoever is their marketing manager is is doing his job. Have the R&F be distracted from reality by having prophecy be fulfilled
