it is really sad and shocking that the court did not rule in the girls favor.
elsewhere posted the link to the court documents in another thread, but here it is again: http://www.courts.state.nh.us/supreme/opinions/2005/berry081.htm .
You know what's really sad is that the JW cult takes this as a victory...and they can feed it to their congregations as victory from Jehovah. So sad!!! I'm really disgusted.
I think about this poor girl and how we all who her at one time JW's know she will be ridiculed by them....my heart is heavy!
my husband (non-jw) just called me from work, seems 2 people walked into his workplace, walks up to him and says, "can you put these in your coffee room?
" at the same time shoving 2 mags upside down into his hand.
he was busy, says, "sure" (thinking nothing of it).
You know what would be funny....when the jws come to your door act all interested and take the mags and then looked surprised and say "oh wait..i don't accept cult material, thanks anway".
I thought it was funny......maybe i'll do that the next time they show up at my house.
LOL...i crack myself up

does god have a true church on the earth today?yes,and i will reveal it.it is the free will baptist church,which is true in every sense.they preach jesus,they study god's word correctly and rightly divide the word of truth.they are not led by a distant leader,they are led by their local leader chosen by god.if the sign out front doesn't say free will baptist then you are in the wrong church.look for that sign,and then you've found the right church.
oh brother.
danielweather.....thats nice you found your place of true worship.....for some of us we have our own places of true worship.

I just feel so sorry for the jws.
in your time as jws did you ever meet any of the annointed?
did they have good christian personalities and what did they think of the wts and its governing body ?
i met one and he was very unhappy with the way the gb treated him and generally the way they run this society, he told me he wrote them two letters containing a long list of complaints with full scriptural support but he was ignored, first letter got a reply amounting to "no need to write to us" the second one no reply at all.
I knew one supposedly annointed lady when i was younger. Just recently i saw her at a bar sipping on some beer. I about laughed my head off.
hi people!..i have a serious question.and i often wonder have anyone one earth thought this way too!
why when there's a funeral the preacher always say..."got called his son or daughter home.i went to a family funeral,not this relative lived a bad (with a capital bad) life.the family knew it.he was evil,hateful,treated people wrong,yet the preacher said he's gone to heaven...so i'm now thinking then what the hell!..is hell for.no matter what i always hear the preacher say that person is gone to heaven...i asked my brother-in-law,why don't anyone say ...this person is in hell(since hell is suppose to be a place for the sinners)are the preachers afraid to say that around the families?i'm confused!
People don't go to hell just because they are sinners. If that was the case then we would all go to hell. If he had faith and was a believer and repented than he's going to heaven, sinner or not. Just because he was a bad person doesn't mean he went to hell.
if you aren't a "believer", does it bother you when someone says "i'll pray for you" or "i prayed for you"?.
one of my colleagues is an incredibly kind and sweet person, and i know she says it because she believes she's doing something good on my behalf.
i always say "thank you for thinking of me", because i know that's the spirit she's intending to convey and that she cares about the situation i'm in vis-a-vis my jw relatives, but she knows i no longer believe in god (at least not in the sense that she does) - i wonder does she think that a few prayers are going to change my mind?
What is the big deal with something offering prayer. If your sharing your problems or what's going on in your life...your expecting a response. For a lot of people who are believers that response is from their heart. They want to pray. Don't talk about issues or problems to those people who say they will pray if you don't want to hear it. Or simply ask them not to say that. It's not like their saying the prayer outloud in front of you or anything.
hey all, i have been doing a lot of research on my own now that i'm no longer in contact with my mother.
i can't believe how much she is still in the 'truth' even though she left 10 years ago.
everything that she has been "learning" over the last 10 years after our departure really isn't any different than it was when we were still in.
Ashton,
I'm so happy for you! So happy you found a church home. I also go to a Baptist church. Our stories are quite similar actually. Isn't such a difference at church rather than the kh. You can actually feel the Holy Spirit there when entering into worship.
Keep up the good fight...especially for your moms salvation!!

Scrubs is the BEST. I never ever miss it!!!
It's funnier every week. I like Turk the best.
let me start out by saying this will be a sad topic.
but i want to ask and seek support.. about two years ago my first daughter was stillborn.
i was almost 42 weeks pregnant with her.
I can't thank all of you enough for your loving posts.
Somedays are hard and some are good. Whats wonderful is both children we have now a girl and a boy look like their older sister. All three baby pictures look the same. God has blessed us so much. It can be hard to look at their little faces and wonder what she would be like right now. A day doesn't go by when i don't think of her. I have a scrapbook dedicated to my pregnancy, labor and birth and her viewing and funeral. That helps a lot!!!
I will always cherish the memory of being pregnant with her! The whole thing actually brought my family closer and i saw a side of them i hadn't seen before. God works all things for good.
Much love,
Trinity
