I hope no one from the BORG sees your post and gets some ideas! I was homeschooled because we moved around a-lot due to my dads job. Talk about a social freak...Homeschooled JW.....I wouldn't wish that on anyone! (though having to deal with pressures in school from being an outcast has got to be rough)

If we were in Bible times, I would be stoned...(by my family)
by megsmomma ini was just researching some things and saw an article scan from 4-15-88 watchtower.
it talks of an unrepentant "wrongdoes", like a son who was a drunkard and glutton, and if he was unrepentant when brought before the judges, his parents would have a part in executing him.
my mom had said to me last time she was here..."it's a good thing we are not in bible times, you would be stoned!

That is great Blondie...and it also shows such a different agenda that the new testiment has compared to the old. The scrip that backes up the stoning is in Duet 21:18-21....Like it was said...the old law cov. I am so glad that I don't think she is right anymore!

Nightmare.....It really does show that brainwashing is most definitely involved. It's funny how that evil line of reasoning really stands out to them when most can't even find a scripture if they had to.

Has anyone ever read the article someone wrote about Are Cats for Christians? It is making fun of the way the JW's reason things out. You would think it was written by the society... http://dbhome.dk/carlo/cat.htm This was a good lesson for me as to be critical in what you read and thinking for yourself! Its good for a laugh!

Finally.....Yes, in my own home! All the while, I was trying to be loving and understanding to her. I even painted her toe-nails and just was oh so happy to "have my mom back". (she hadn't talked to me for 6 years) Then I saw her motives and her ugly nature. Before I did the research and found this site, I had a hard time believing in myself, or sticking up for myself. I didn't have any of my own beliefs, so I allowed myself to be walked on. She isn't welcome to see me or my family untill she agrees to RESPECT our beliefs and ME....which I can't ever see happening, so I have pretty much written her out of our lives....but, I still reach out every so often.

The conversation came up because she was telling me to "go back to Jehovah" to save my family....and I was telling her I would never go back (though I didn't know all that I know now, and couldn't give her any info on what I now know)...Then I was telling her that by shunning me, it hasn't done anything to make me WANT to go back....which is when she brought up the stoning. Then I asked if I don't go back, will she again shun me and my new baby...Which she replied she would, so I told her to have my dad come get her and havn't had much conversations with her since.
I did talk to her when I found out the "truth about the truth"...but it made her mad and she hung up on me...and I have called her to leave messages on the babies progress a couple times.
She was saying I would be stoned when I first left because I was a fornicator....something she had done several times before her 2nd marriage. (But that was BEFORE she knew Jehovah) (so ,i guess she is safe, as my grandparents luthern religion doesn't teach that)

There isn't likely much you can do except be a support to them and let them know JW's are not CHRISTIAN and their self worth should not be based on anything they say about them. Maybe you could show them this site .... as there are other teens stuck in the religion because of their parents.

Thankyou everybody, it's so good to be back!!
by fullofdoubtnow inas most of you know, i've been in bed with flu for a few days, and though i'm a bit better today, i'm still feeling very weak, but i'm just about up to an hours' posting.
i've missed you all so much, and want to thank you for all the good wishes you sent me for a speedy recovery.
i honestly think i've been shown more love from people on this board who i've never met than many jws that i knew for over 20 years.
