  My friend was "announced" last night!

  my friend marion, who i've posted about on here, was announced at last nights meeting as being no longer one of jehovahs witnesses.

  she sent a da letter in recently, and of course the elders tried to get her to change her mind, but she insisted, and threatened to forward a copy to the uk hq, so they made the announcement.. she had a phone call from her jw son just now, and not a pleasant one at that.

  he asked her how she could be so stupid, and told her that this was the last call of any kind he would be making to her, and she won't be allowed to see her grandchildren again until she comes to her senses.

  Welcome Marion (my wife's name)

  I have experienced all that you mentionsuch as grandchildren and great grand children that I have never seen, but we never give up hope. It has been 26 years since I left and only now recently has one of my daughters introduced me to my greatgrandson who is now 2 years old. and another one of my five daughters has recently written me a letter. My youngest of 5 does not shun me because she is inactive. So always make sure your door is open to them if they change their mind.

  Birthdays-Are They REALLY Wrong To Celebrate??

  by Lady Liberty in

  2. beliefs

  good morning all and happy tuesday,.

  most everyone knows that jehovahs witnesses do not celebrate birthdays.

  the reason is that there are two examples given in the bible of birthdays and bad things happened both times.

  Possable "New Light"?

  by 2112 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with all the "buzz" around the up-comming october anouncment, i have a question.

  i have thought about this for a long time, is it possable that they would tell all those married to non-witnesses to divorce their mates?

  it could be for the reason of "unevenly yoked", and/or keeping spritually clean.

  What reaction would the JW's have if you walked into the Kingdom Hall?

  by JH in

  .

  for those who didn't attend meetings for a while, imagine that you just walk into your kingdom hall 10 minutes before a meeting.

  what would be their reaction?

  It's been over 25 years since I left and a lot of the old farts are still around, and you know how they gossip so everyone would know all about me. My home is still marked on the territory cards as a "do not call". I still have family in so they would probably get up and leave or ask me to leave as I am the black sheep of the family.

  what a revelation!

  by solo in

  this is my first post and what a revelation this site has been to me (excuse the pun) if only this had been available when i walked away from the "truth" in 1987, it would have made life a lot more bearable for me.. i was brought up a jw and was baptized at 14 because i thought it was the right thing to do, endured a very strict upbringing combined with the dreadful routines of worship, study and door knocking.

  we were deprived of any enjoyment (tv, friends, outings, fun, etc).

  education was a bit of a disruption, having moved to where the need was greater our schooling was interrupted so many times we never made any friends.

  I AM SUCH A KLUTZ! Hello!

  by Geronimo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been lurking here and reading for a couple of months now.

  i was also a jw for a few years but got myself dfed when i started asking difficult questions, wouldn't stop asking them, and kept pointing out how the wts didn't make any sense.

  i am an unrepentent rebellious one who was warned and publically reproved until finally i finally had it out with the elders and they showed me the door.
