How to deal with Mom "serving where the need is great"?
by snickers infirst of all, i've been reading this forum for many months and have found it such a nice place!
a little history - my husband and i were both raised as jws, and both left about 11 years ago.
we were initially inactive for quite a few years, but we still believed all the bs.

Bill Bowen mentioned something about an Awake?
by JamieL ini was rewatching the cnn newstory on this and he mentioned that there was an awake article on this and aftewerwords the society had a bunch of letters coming in on it so they looked into it.
he said it was 10 years ago, the interview was in 2002. i would be interested which article this was.
he said the jws looked into it and were well aware of the massive amount happening.

Faultless and exempt from critisism
by KW13 ini was thinking the other day about how the witnesses will go to any length to show someone what is wrong with their faith and religion.
they may spend years knocking on a catholic, choosing carefully magazines to place with them - having careful discussions hoping to make the individual think carefully about their faith, yet the moment you 'dare' to point anything out the witnesses have done wrong or do wrong you are an apostate.. maybe i have missed something but i believe it was paul who said to keep checking to see whether you are in the truth?.
a dub i know once used an example of counterfeit money, saying how much easier it is to look for the real money than constantly looking through all the counterfeit ones.

No prayer for disfellowshipped ones
by LexWatson ini'd enjoy reading your comments about prayer.. the wt club says it is inappropriate to pray for those who are disfellowshipped...and we should obey them lest we be shunned and not be part of the organization jehovah is using.. however the bible tells me we should even pray for our enemies!
jesus set the example by even praying for those who were torturing him and murdering him.
"father forgive them!

Got home from the meeting the other day and couldn't stop crying
by JamieL ini know everyone here thinks it's probably a waste of time for me to keep going to meetings cause i'm disfellowshipped.
but i go for my own reasons, i explained these a while back when i first posted on here.
he's a jw, but we are like brothers so he contacts me sometimes and it makes me feel a little better.

607 Question....not debate
by Zuko into make a long story short i work with one of my old friends who happens to be a ms. we often get in discussions about witnesses and i have got him too admit that i am right about somethings in the past.
i think he has looked into some of the things we have talked about and found that i am right but he just kinda dismisses them.
anyway here is the deal.
