YES!!!!!! Shunning has backfired!!
by Dawn ini was df'd a number of years ago.
my parents never shunned me - they didn't feel that df'ing broke the family ties.
but when my brothers or uncle were in town i was "allowed" to come visit at certain times when their other jw friends would not be around.

New Date for Armageddon - 2015
by Dawn inthe following is a message from another jw forum i visited:.
i came across a scripture (genesis 15:16) which says that god's people would return "in the fourth generation".
true, it doesn't say where in the fourth generation but as they were to be in egypt for 430 years then if they return in the fourth we're looking at generations being divided up into approx.

To stay or leave....
by Dawn init probably sounds crazy to post this on a forum where "alias" individuals will respond - but i really would like to hear from some of you who may have been in this situation before.. i'm at a cross roads in my marriage and need to decide whether to stay or leave.. long story short:.
hubby is basically a good man - good father, but i am not happy.

Nat'l Center for Missing Children - Volunteer
by Dawn inthe national center for missing and exploited children can use poster volunteers.
it's a small effort on our part but makes a huge impact.. go to http://www.ncmec.org/ - click on "how can i help" link on the left, then click on "join our poster partner program".
it's really quite easy - they'll send you flyers via e-mail to print out when a child is reported missing from your area/region.

Jehovah will take care of it
by Dawn ini called my mother last night (an active jw) right after the dateline segment and said "well, what'd ya think?".
we talked a little bit, then i said "well, i noticed quite a few times it was said 'jehovah will take care of things' or 'we need to wait on jehovah'.
she replied that was correct - jehovah would take care of things.. so i responded "mom - i think he just did!".
