Heartbroken mother takes action......
by lavendar ini sent this letter to our son the other day.
we pray he wakes up and realizes this org is a lie.
i can't just quietly sit by and watch him be reeled into it.

Dinosaurs?
by Paralipomenon ini was very curious about dinosaurs as a child.
what was jehovah's purpose for them?
my mother used to say that they were used to prepare the earth for living, you know, like mulch and stuff.

Instances of JWs causing serious harm?
by greendawn incan you recall instances where the wts seriously damaged the emotional health or generally the life of other individuals or you?
what i can recall are two young jws at the congo who had strict elder fathers and ended up suffering severe depression due to the many restrictions in their lives.
growing up as a jw in a repressive and unloving environment is not easy.

Can't stop hating....
by ex-nj-jw inmy parents became jw's in the early 60's just before i was born.
i was raised as a jw but hated everything about it from a very early age.
going door to door was the worst growing up.

we're not getting on the boat
by BlackSwan of Memphis inwell our furnace was acting up monday night.
it wasn't staying on, which when it's positively freezing out, is not good.. my husband called a few different people and finally asked me if i would be ok if he called my brother?
see, my brother is a) a heating and cooling guy and b) the heating and cooling guy who put in our furnace a few years back.

Daughter of an ex witness and a re-instated witness.....
by LotusB inmy parents divorced when i was 12. their divorce was so messy and upsetting that it threw my mother for a loop that none of the elders came to her aide.
she has been distant and negetive towards jw's for almost ten years since.
my father was re-instated after an almost 20 year apsence and is now happily attending meetings with his new family.
