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.

Is there any literature that speaks of babies dying in "A"
by megsmomma inmy step dad and i spoke of this and he says they believe that since children aren't able to make their own choice yet, they will survive the big "a".
i know for a fact that jw"s talk about kids being destroyed because they would just grow up like their parents.
is there anything that the society has said about this.. i would appreciate if anyone knows where to look..

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.

by megsmomma inthe top part is what i wrote to my step-dad in response to his e-mail below.
i don't have any hopes of this making a difference in my family, but i do want to hear some opinions on things he said and the way he contradicts himself .

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!

As a DUB, what did you do and hid so as not to stumble anyone?
by megsmomma ini was thinking of all the "concious matters" that you could do if you wanted, but would not tell anyone so you wouldn't get in "trouble".
one thing that came to my mind is when after having my baby, i wanted to join weight watchers...there were two meeting places to choose from...one close to me and in a church....and one quite far not in a church.
well, i went to the one in the church, always worried someone would see me(but i didn't really think it was a big deal) so, what did you all hide?
