They hate it that you haven't been listening. They are the ones with the Truth, not you.

Need scan of a Greber related letter
by JWOP ini keep finding references to the wts replying in a letter the following (a letter dated march 15, 1983) anyone know where i can get an actual scan of this?:.
no doubt you have had opportunity to read the comments in our letter dated december 31, 1982, to brother jack gottfried, secretary of your congregation.
in our letter we addressed the issue of the propriety of the society in quoting johannes greber's translation as an example of another translation that agreed with the new world translation.

You don't have to throw the whole trash can at them. I reckon it's better to do a thorough job on one subject than a half pie job on several. Pick one that undermines selection as God's channel as that is the sand the whole castle is built on.

Hubby went out in service today.
by KariOtt ini can't believe hubby and sis in law actually went out in service today.
when he left this morrning i reminded him to inform those who didn't slam their doors on them that if they join your cult that this will be the last christmas, holiday and birthday they will be allowed to celebrate.
i thought it very inapproiate going out today to knock on doors trying to get converts..

Stick to asking them questions that you know they don't want to answer, rather than telling them things that you know that they don't want to hear.
Don't let them off with crap answers and make them be honest by standards that they profess to keep.
It is a fine line to tread., especially when both parents are full on JW nutters. Sending them an email crossed that line.
You need to get your parents off guard. They have to know that they need to defend their descision to remain with a church with a history of prophetic failure.... Failures that they know about, but pretend/prefer to ignore. Try to bring up statements that you heard them make.
I didn't say it was easy.
Take it sloooooowly. Your parents are psychologically damaged from many years in the cult, so don't expect that you can extract them in a couple of weeks.

New here
by winnie12 inhey i'm new here, i've been reading up so much here and on other sites about tatt and it has really settled a nagging feeling of doubt within me.
truly i have been lied to and have been trapped in this cult.
i've been suffering with depression, anxiety, attempted suicide, hospitalization, anti depressants, loneliness all this while being in supposedly surrounded by "the happiest people" on earth.

Welcome to our nightmare, Winnie.
My advice is to not do anything different until you have a plan, a well researched plan that has a hope of a good outcome.
You are really lucky compared to most of us 'born ins' in that you have a non-JW Dad. Lean on him for support. I wish my Dad was a non-dub. Mine is a full blown nutcase.
Stick around and learn and have some fun with us.
Cheers

Hi thedog1
I assume you do know that the text I was referring to was 1st Kings 18:27
Unfortunately, for many faithful JWs, it is the kids that ignored their parent's WT influenced advice and went and got themselves a decent education that are in the best position to help them in their old age. If they are lucky, they are kids they haven't alienated because they didn't join, DAd, faded or were DFd.
Quoting the experiences of the lucky ones, isn't evidence that the whole JW experience is something to aspire to.
