A little update.......
by megsmomma ini had posted an e-mail with my step-dad and i going back and forth over me ranting about the jw's and him saying i just want to blame everyone for my life.. my husband met with him sunday for lunch...to basically tell him why i was critical of the society and that i am a happy person...i just do have some issues because of the religion i was raised in.. it is important to note that he has never been baptised(and has been "in" it for 20 yrs), but thinks they are the true religion.. so, he was very humble with my hubby and said he would like to talk things out with me.
he admitted he was not right in the way he treated me growing up, and he should not have said the things he did in the e-mail.. so, we met today and i explained how the jw's treating me so nice as a kid, and showing me approval when i conformed ment a-lot to me...and i didn't know how to look at things critically...i just totally believed.
we went on to talk about him praying and how i just recently felt like i could pray since i was taught jehovah only listens to baptised jw's prayes.

Confessions to Elders
by megsmomma ini was reading the masterbation thread and it reminded me of my experience....it is sooo embarrasing!
when i was 13, my jw friend and i dicussed this topic.
we both admitted that we had the "m" problem...and we tried to help eachother with it by checking up on eachother...."hi....how are you doing with your "m" problem?.......not so good....did it last night....me too....." so we decided we needed to talk to the elders about it and on a thurday night we both asked to meet with them.

It's sadly comforting to me....
by megsmomma inwhen i read of others stories, and seeing how smart, caring, loving, and reasonable they are....and yet even they have family that won't be reasoned out of the watchtower mentality....it comforts me so much.
but, then i feel wrong sometimes to feel that way....because i wish none of us had the pain of feeling like we have lost loved ones out there.
then again, i would rejoice with anyone who finally gets their loved one to leave the cult, and i pray for everyone to find success.

COOOOOOOL Update! (Regarding step dad and discussions....)
by megsmomma inif you have seen my posts, it started with me and my dad "argueing" about my "rants" against jw's.
then, we got together and talked about how i felt being a jw affected my life.. in the conversation, he told me i was mistaken about non baptised jw's prayers being heard ...(he has never gotten baptised) and about children of non-jw's dying in the big a.. i sent him wt articles on both and i spoke to him last night.
he had read the e-mail about prayers and said it appeared the magazine contradicted itself in the article and he had highlighted it.
