Do the Governing body know they are being dishonest?
by strawberry cake ini wonder if anyone has any ideas on this.
who, what is behind the wts.
is it just men genuinely making mistakes but are sincerely trying to serve god?

A phone call from the elders.
by strawberry cake inmy husband and i left the org about 6 months ago and in voicing our views we were shunned.
the elders who were 'friends' treated us with cold efficiency to the letter of their law.
one older elder played 'good cop' and invited us over for a heart-to-heart.

Update on my life since I left
by strawberry cake ini used to post here a lot a few years ago.
this forum helped me out of the organisation with my husband and 3 boys.. we are now all more or less out and very happy.. me my husband and my youngest left almost instantly we realised the lie.
my middle son gave us a little grief at first and then left when he understood what were were saying.

A really annoying text
by strawberry cake inthis is a really irritating text that i received from an old jw acquaintance.. .
i would like to tell you that the latest book we received 'keep yourselves in god's love', says that jw have to strictly avoid someone disfellowshipped.
the same applies to someone who left organization.

Last JW contact.
by strawberry cake injust received a phone call from a jw friend(unbaptised publisher).
we had previously planned for her son aged 7 to come and spend the day with mine.
when she phoned she said, 'he can't come, as he talks too much' he has obviously told someone that he is coming to see us on saturday.

Is it better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all ?
by strawberry cake inin other words from the jw point of view, only marry another jw.
he also quoted some anonymous person who said that.. "what is worst than being single is being married to the wrong person"....personally, my view is "it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all?"..
the wts are allowing many, mainly sisters to live lonely lives because of this directive to only marry other jws.
