Seriously though..... (imo) (for wot thats worth), you have to draw a very thick line in the sand with regard to what they talk to your children about!!!!

Are they not typical brainwashed dubs with absolutly nothing else to occupy their minds that 'conversion'?????

I's outrageous, and completely undermies your authority as her mother!

I look forward to readin how you deal with this

Blessed be

Cemeteries; They're not Just for Burying, Anymore.

by prophecor in

i live in a metropolitan area.

crime is on a rampage in this city, in fact, we're #1 in the country as far as murders per capita statistic go.

where does one go to find a safe outing for your morning jog, daily walk, or just to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the city life?

shell69

I have always felt a strange sort of peace in cemeteries, in fact my childhod home backed staright onto a CofE cemetery.

I remember one day I was off school, a burial tookplace right outside the bathroom window; anyways, the grave hadn't been dug large enough to take the casket so it was left at the side of the grave while all the mourners departe. Once they had ogne, the vicar, in all his ragalia was seen standing on the coffin in an attempt to make it go down into the grave. It was a windy day, and I recal and a young girl his gowns 'flapping in the wind as he attempted to push the casket in!

Howver my dear Dad, RIP, died in 1989. My religous nut mother has had the words 'Safe in Jehovah's memory' written in gold on his gravestone.

She's about to move away (so I've heard) so there will no longer be any family memeber who visit his grave apart form me. I was thinking about going along and 'blacking' out the wording. What do you guys think? Its just that the anniversay of his death just came and went, and there was only me that went and put flowers on his grave, so I don't suppose it is any relavence to the rest of the family is it? But I find it offensive to still have this name thrust down my throat.

INCIDENTALLY: when my dad died he hadn't been to the Khell for months. The last time he walked willingly into a Khell was to give me away at my wedding. He never went in again until he was carried in.

What exactly can I get disfellowshipped for?

by Younglove1999 in

my husband and i have been inactive for almost 8 months.

we haven't gone to a meeting and slowly our jw friends have stopped associating with us because we're "weak".

at some point, we'll be celebrating holidays.

shell69

Yes, they'll 'have you' for celebrating the holidays even if your inactive and haven't been associating for ages!

The first Xmas I ever cellebrated; mymother came round whil;e I was out and saw the tree. Shee didn't want to be the one to report us, so after speaking to my borther, he also came round while I was out, looked through the window to see for himself and reported us, all to save my mother the 'heartache'

Crap.

i stopped going to meetings over a year ago as i'm a lesbian and have finally accepted it.

i was a witness for 22 years, since i was born.

now i missed my friends at the hall at first, but now i have some amazing new friends that love me no matter what.

shell69

DA. Have it over and done with. This idiot god elder wont let it rest. They'll attempt to come after you.

If you are truely happy with who you are, and with the friendships you are now forging out in the real world, then get it over and done with and CUT ALL TIES.

Blessed be; wishing you peace and happiness

WHA WAS THE TURNING POINT FOR YOU IN JWS

by chuckyy in

hi.. just wondering what it was that first made you realise that jws didnt have the absolute "truth"?

was there a specific event/turning point for you or was it a moment of enlightenment?.

chukky.

shell69

The two witness ruling on child molestation.

Despite myself and another 'sister', both making 'accusations of molestation against the same man for very similar offences, we were ignored. All this depsit the fact that at the time he was an elder AND he and his wife were regiestered child minders!

I just KNEW then that this was wrong. I Admit I was like a dog with abone then, and would not let this subject drop... because imo it is sooo wrong. They are sooo wrong.

The death knell sounded for any faith I had right there and then.

Encounter with JW neighbours # 2

by winnie in

jw
friends

as i posted in a previous thread, we moved about 5 weeks ago into a house next door to a local elders family (who also happen to be related to us through marriage).. the elders wife (i'll call her mrs m), decided to weed her garden when we went out this morning.

but we were only gone for 20 minutes.

to weed a part of her garden, she has to come into our front yard to reach it, which she was doing when we came home.

B***dy pathetic.

Idiot ppl who are soooo full of love!

Wife went to bed in tears again. Sept KM this time. Her response..

ok, slowly awakening and fading at the same time for two years now, and did not plan it.

i tell my wife last night i have been having some interesting e-mails with my dad about the qb from the sept km we are to study this week.

she says she has read it, but does not remember it.

shell69

Sorry Ooompaa,

Its a long and painful journey your on. Everything that we read on this web site merely confirms what we already know... that the jw org is a wicked cult. divisive and manipulative in the way it deals with its followers.

Hang in there, we're here for you.
