Daughters, Do you speak with your mothers voice?
by jeanniebeanz ini hear it when i see the faults in others, and condemn myself for any minor infraction.
it is my mothers voice.. i dont know exactly when she got into my head, but it is clearly her voice and judging that i hear.
she condemns me for the dirty dishes, the skirt that is too short or the blouse that is too low.

Why can you not question/double standard
by Ticker ini have been recently reading isocf and am now on the indoctrination chapter.
what always gripes me with the witnesses has been this one simple double standard of theirs.
when you look at a watchtower or any publication of theirs, it has two messages.

The WT's muffled message: Where's the ``Good News of the Kingdom" in This?
by Room 215 init's been commented on several times on this forum, but it would seem that the billions of hours lavished by jws in purportedly getting their message to the public has been a dismal failure, at least if measured by the extent to which they've been able get their core beliefs (i.e., god's kindom has been established invisibly in 1914 and you had better get with our program or face annihilation -- and soon) -- across to the public.
take a look at some of the front-page titles of this current year's magazines (especially the awake!
which most jws like to feature in preference to the wt) and ask yourselves: where the !#!%!

Elder Condemned Me to Death
by Grace ini have been thinking about this because of another post where the question asks have any of us ever been blackmailed to stay in the watchtower organization.. no, i won't say i was blackmailed; however, after i wrote my note of disassociation, the congregation overseer wanted to visit me in my home with two other elders.
i repeatedly said no, that i would not allow them to chastise me in my own home.
therefore, all of my conversations were over the phone with the overseer.

A jw snopes type web site?
by Check_Your_Premises inany who have checked out snopes.com, know that it is a very effective baloney detection device.
it is amazing how many phoney stories end up coming some so many credible sources.
for the dubs, the urban legend serves an important function of protecting and bolstering their faith.

Boy its hard for teenaged JW's
by skyman ini had to come home early from work today because a 17 year old girl came over to me and was all upset she asked if she could come up and visit with my wife and i. she said the brothers are always picking on her and she can not do anything right.
i asked,what have you done she said nothing every time it is some one making things up and she is tired of even trying any longer.
teenagers come from over all the area they they know they can come and talk to us and we will not judge them.
