HELP PLEASE - Youngster At Risk
by Joe Grundy in(i am not, never have been, a jw.
i am an apostate of the whore of babylon and have been awarded the title of honorary apostate here.).
i very recently posted about how i had come into contact with a poster on an entirely unrelated mb whose step-daughter (age about 12) was, i concluded, studying with jws along with her natural mum.

Placing Publications - The Reality
by Joe Grundy ini'm not, never have been, a jw, etc.. a couple of months ago, on a mb entirely unconnected with religion a poster told of her concerns that her pre-teen step-daughter had started to study (with her mother) with jws.. the poster knew nothing of jws - her concern was because her step-daughter had asked her not to tell her husband (the girl's father) of this and keep it secret.
(apparently the mother had previously had connections with jws and the father was not happy with this).. i posted on that mb, mentioned some concerns, and later got into e-mail contact with the step-mother.
i put together a brief note about some history of the jws, some concerns i had (mainly gathered from reading jwd) and sent it to her, just to make her aware of what she may be dealing with.

My JW Neighbours
by Joe Grundy ini've posted about this before, and my earlier posts will clarify this.. i've explained to my neighbours why i (as an atheist) am bad association for my my jw neighbours.
i've explained that to them as well, and on my third and last visit to a kh with them (for memorial service?
) i wore my fbi polo shirt and afterwards went outside for a cigarette.. pregnant jw mum and the kids (6 and 3) have just left to visit her (jw) family in sweden.

Intelligent Analysis
by Joe Grundy inthese thoughts were provoked (i nearly said 'inspired') by the thread on 'when a loved one leaves jehovah'.
in particular, by the picture of the spiffy-looking distressed jw father with the immaculate hair and nice suit who has left his distressed wife to fester at home while he goes out to preach to others.
it looks as though his 'preachee' is a fairly young man, and in my (cynical) imagination the subject of the preaching has the title 'how you and your family can live happily forever' or some such crap.. it brought to my mind the question 'how on earth could this man pretend to be believable given his own circumstances?

My JW Neighbours - Now it's JWs -v- NAC!
by Joe Grundy inlatest in the saga with my jw neighbours.
i've previously mentioned my other neighbours (german couple in late 60s) who live next door to the jw family.
the german couple are here on the island about 6 months a year, often look after the jw kids and have substantial concerns about them.. last friday evening (late here, about 10 pm) the german lady and her older sister and i went to a sports bar to watch the germany-argentina match.
