    Welcome to the board....

    I haven't had any of my old friends to come out. The friends I had that left before me, I've lost touch with over the years since they have moved away. I have one sister that is out as well, though.

    Welcome to the board.
    I made 10 JW"S & have I helped any out? I believe I was used by THE HOLY Spirit ( The REAL TEACHER OF TRUTH) to help many out. Just wish that my daughter & grand-daughters would listen .but since they are forbidden to speak to me & they believe the Teacher( HOLY SPIRIT) is electricity I have to leave them to God.
    Good to have you aboard.

    Welcome to the board! I was the only one in my family that was a JW. When I DAd myself 11 years ago all my JW friends stopped talking to me, so "No".

    HI everyone. this is my first entry but i just wanted to know if any of you been able to convince your friends to come out of the "truth" and realize the society for what it really is?

    Welcome to the zoo.

    Be careful who you try to pull out, it's much safer for everyone to only try to pull out people who show signs of looking for answers, having problems conforming, etc. People can seriously injure themselves in a lot of ways, including loss of life, from the experience, especially if they are not ready for it. Sit back and learn for a while, then you can make informed choices about this. My 2 cents...welcome! WLG

    Hello Uhoh. Welcome to the board. My wife and I had two best friends, a couple that we did everything with back in the early 70's We even took 2 week long vacations with them and lived next door to them. We were friends from the hall. We would get together everyweekend go out to dinnner, play cards, games, etc. Then in 81 my wife and I moved to Florida.

    We spend this past Christmass with this couple they have both moved to Florida. They are both out of the organization. They are now divorced. Still we spent the day with them. Her new husband was there also.

    Kind of bizzare.

    Hello and welcome, Uhoh08. Is that you in your avatar?

    No, I haven't been able to get anyone out - yet. My 18-year old daughter is still.

    Hope you will stay on board and tell us a little about yourself.

    Hi mouthy,
    Of course prayer, and fasting are real weapons of spiritual warfare.

    Plus the gifts of the Spirit. Not forgetting the bible.

    Unconditional love is essential in all though (1 Cor 13).

    All the best,
    Stephen
