Help Please!!!!
by sandy inmy niece announced to the entire family she is disfellowshipped and i got t cornered.. i was in the room when she told the family (dumb me being nosey) and my family started asking me questions about going back to the meetings.. i told them i do not believe in organized religion and some days i doubt the biblical existance of god.
i told them about the un scandal and they do not believe it.. they think it is a plot by satan somehow to mislead people away from the organization.
after being cornered by five of them i went into my shell and didn't defend my thoughts very well.

my boyfriend who i've been with for 2 years now and live with, does not know how to approach things when his mother (a very devout jw) comes to visit this summer.
we have separate rooms, and so we were thinking that we basically have two options.

ever get that immortal feeling?
by what_Truth? ini was watching an old highlander rerun a while.
if you recall the show, the main character ducan mcleod was an immortal.

by YellowLab inbeen out of the "truth" for nine years now, with many family members and relatives still in.
while i was in, we were taught to be humble and put jehovah first in your life.
