I am a bit p**sed off!

by hambeak in

i have posted here before about my shop being burglarized.

a couple days ago 2 men broke into a business around the corner from mine.

after gaining access they broke through a wall getting into an electronics shop burglarizing them, not being satisfied they then climbed into an attic and attempted to rob a mr. gattis pizza they fell through the roof onto the kitchen floor.

Ham....with all the media coverage in this area about that break-in, do you think you could go to the news with your story and mabe get some results?

Little children deserve to die at Armageddon

by jambon1 in

for the life of me, i cannot work this one out.

it disturbed me when i was a jw and it now just makes me plain angry.. here are some comments from ministerial servants & elders on this subject, which i heard when i was in:.

"you know, a while ago, people used to object to the idea of children dying at armageddon but nowadays there is a spirit in kids (massive generalisation), which just seems to make them fit for destruction.

megsmomma

This scare tactic is a clever thing though. It made it so I would give up my 1st daughter to my ex....(still a JW) so she wouldn't die...and it made me almost "go back" so my new baby wouldn't die. I started to really research things at that point though...and found the REAL TRUTH.

I can't be proud of my kids!

by WANTMOMBACK in

today i went to my daughter's school and they sang "america the beautiful" and i videoed her.

i do have a question though!!

how do most people explain to their children about why grandma and grandpa never come to their birthday party or any holiday function?

megsmomma

What I am going to do with my daughter is tell her there are many beliefs, and gramma has her own that we don't agree with. Then, since kids do seem open to religion and God, I would get your kids a non-denominational type of Bible story book....and let your mom read stories from it if she is so inclined. Their Bible story book is full of scary pictures, so I would not allow them to be scared by that. (BTW, my mom has disowned me, so she will probably never see my daughter, so I will be telling her gramma doesn't talk to us because a group of people in the society tells her she can't...and she doesn't believe the Bible like we do)

Also, try to learn as much as you can about what JW's teach, cause your kids will probably ask you some questions. Or if it comes up, ask here and someone can explain to you how to show that the doctrine is false.

Good luck with it all....I know how it feels to not really have a mom....and it is so sad.

For what purpose did Brooklyn Bethel keep records of accussed pedophiles?

by Gill in

i was wondering this, as i remember that leo greenlees was just moved to another congregation and that was all.. so why keep records if they weren't going to use them?.

megsmomma

I wish I could see my records.....It is all a haze for me since at the time i DA'd I was severley depressed with post partum. I don't even know what I wrote to the elders. I suppose we are not allowed to request them, huh....so much secrecy!

The Memorial...

by Justice-One in

does anyone still go to the memorial?

i was just thinking that although i made it quite clear to my wife that i was not going to go to anymore meetings or conventions (i made a comment about not wanting to be there when the kool-aid came out) that i caught myself thinking the other day that i might go to the memorial just to keep her happy.

but then i thought why?

megsmomma

I went to the memorial a couple years ago and for me, it was so good to go and see all the hypocricy. I would read around the scrips they were reading and see how it is so twisted. I will never go again....it was my last harah!

Oh My Gawd Ham....I saw that on the news and I was wondering if they caught the creeps that robbed you...I CANNOT believe the excuse they gave you! It makes me think I should take up burgulary as a career cause even if you get caught falling through the roof, they let you go! I am so sorry you are having to endure this.

megsmomma

I am still AMAZED at how much I have learned and keep learning

by megsmomma in

this board has helped me so much in clearing my head and becoming myself.

i feel like i used to be such a shell of a person......and when i would hear the things the wtbts taught....i just numbly took it in and didn't really even really "hear" what they said.

then, i was so well "trained" to respond to questions from people that i could give the "right" answers to questions from studies....."wait on jehovah...." being a common one.. after i left years ago...i still wasn't free from the teachings.

megsmomma

That's good therapy! I have a pentacostal church across from my road. Every time I come or go from here I think of my JW moms comment to her friend. When she was here to see my baby (a few months ago) she had made me so upset....telling me she'd disown me and baby if I didn't come back....that I told her she had to leave and she called her JW friend to get her. My hubby told her directions, useing the church as a turning point....and my mom said to her friend..."That makes sence, huh?" Oh yes....the church must be sending out SATANIC vibes to all within a 1 mile radious. (I think that is the pentacostal range...right?) Anyways I smile when I see the church!
