Hi all,

I had an interesting opportunity/experience today. My family and I went out for breakfast. Afterwood we went browsing in the shops...pre-christmas.

After we purchased some items I see a man and his wife and two small children walking along. I instantly recognise him and move across to say hello. Shook his hand and then he introduced us to his wife and children.

Remarkable in the fact that I was one of the three elders who disfellowshipped him and fairly shakey grounds and have felt bad about it since and especially so after realizing that the whole thing is a crock of %#*t.

He was being extra cautious...as you would as to my actions. His wife had to take one of the children to the parents room in the shop, so I got to tell him striaght up that we dont go any more. He was astounded to say the least. We had a fairly rapid fire conversation from that point, as you do when you meet a fellow JW survivor.

I had the opportunity to apologize to him for what happended. I have felt pangs about this guy periodically, but he moved away and I didnt know where he ended up, so even though I wanted to say I was sorry, I didnt think I would ever get the chance in this life time. He absolutely bore no malice! He felt that we all did what we did because of the circumstances, just the cult mentality at work. He found himself free and being DFed gave him that chance to start again and build a better life which he is doing.

I told him I have felt sick about it all, but he was OK with it!!!

I have felt blown away all day!

Just thought that I would share that.

yes i'm new to this forum and i have been searching the net and reading with interest peoples comments here and on other sites.

as most know reaching out as a faithfull jw to others outside of the congregation is difficult at first ,as i guess we think anyone outside the congregation is wordly etc.

and we can't open up easily to "strangers" as jehovah would not approve.

BTTT. Man I tought I would kick this back in as a reminder to you about your stoty and insight. We all struggle with others at times. Even here where we feel skinned and thrown about and looking for a little comfort. It is easy to forget all the struggles we have on a day to day basis after coming out of the borg. Hang in there.

Jehovah Reveals
by Norm in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the watchtower society has a long history of failed predictions and flip/flop teachings.. this is rather strange considering their bold claims of having this unique direct line to the almighty.

there seem to be no end to what jehovah reveals to the guys in brooklyn.

the watchtower magazine never tires of reminding its readers of this remarkable connection.. in the beginning russell had adopted a chronology involving dates like 1799, the beginning of the end, 1874, jesus parousia or invisible return, 1914, the end of this system.

Norm: I can only agree with you. Love the wt quotes.
Bit like in the Harp of God, "these are NOT mans dates, they are God's"

What baloney!

This has to go all the way to the top. Silentlambs used to have "The Story of Pat". It is now archived, but it explains why they will not fix this particular problem.
The "worlds" churches are seeing the light, yes it is costing them big dollars to help victims. That is another reason why the wtbts will not do this properly. They would have to sell more of their property to help the victims properly.

My family and I have dreams that we have to go/or are going to meetings and or assemblies. Thing is you know you dont want to be there and you have to get out [of her my people if you do not want to share...]
You end up waking up stressed!!
I think that I would try to word things in hope that someone would use their own brain! But I liked the option mentioned before about claiming to be annointed, and fudging the report slip. Definitely!!! Why waste perfectly good time giving people the irritts?
