My sis calls & says,"Your dead"&"I wish you'd died in a car accident"(long)
by morwen in
1. jw
2. experiences
ya know... i'm a bit amazed at times at how utterly out of touch with reality jw's can be.

here's a little bit of a background of what's been going on....

i've been having an on going issue with my jw family about my husband & i(and our 4 young children) no longer going to meetings and us having questions/problems with this religion.we are not df'd nor da'd (at this point) but have not been to a meeting in about 7 months and have been inactive for probably 3-4 years now.we haven't lived near my parents for several years so they have been a little "in the dark" so to speak as to us being inactive but we kinda were given a bit of "lee-way" since 5 yrs.

Do Some JW Elders Secretly Consider It Possible That They Are Wrong?
by West70 in
1. jw
2. experiences
i recently heard this "experience" from a now "christian" former jw, which has not previously been publicly communicated.

this jw then moved back to their home area (no jw relatives), and simply continued living their already-in-progress non-jw life.

inevitably, this exjw christian started bumping into their jw former associates.

2. experiences
i was baptized by the jehovah witnesses in 1970. in arecibo, puerto rico.

i believed in god and i believed that jesuschrist was a god ( according john 1:1 on the jw's bible) created by the true god.

i didn't believe in life after death much less that i was a conscious spirit that would leave the body when i died.

i absolutely hated the concept of "meeting clothes".

Getting Busted w/ Love Letters
by OpenFireGlass in
1. jw
2. friends
.

love letters were the demise for many of the kids in congregations that i attended growing up..... i know i ended up in the library/back room several times for this (hopless romantic/ sagitarius) even put on public reproof for it.

(though i believe it was my dad's idea to have the elders put me on public reproof so that he could have more control over me).
