PAGAN.....and other JW Curse Words....
by homeschool ini remember working at a banquet hall/resturant, and it was just around the time when the jw teachings/actions weren't sitting well with me.
but my mind was still very much a jw.
a lady, whom i clicked with & whom i'd hung out with a few times, came up to me one day and said "homeschool, there's a couple things i wanted to tell you.

Open Minded Christians?
by homeschool indoes anyone know if there is such a thing as a christian church that loves and appreciates jesus, but also recognizes that it is purely a culteral thing and also acknowledges other religions as truth?
are unitarians like this?
i'm getting to the point where i'd really like to find a group like this.

I've 2nd guessed myself for 30 years

is it really worth trying to change their minds?
by homeschool inafter reading steven hassan's book, i really believe the jw's are in a high mind control group, like so many other cult-like religions.
one point stuck out to me though....hassan said he will not do interventions if the purpose is selfishly motivated.
i don't know why, but it's made me question some things.

Steven Hassan's Cult book...
by homeschool inok, so i'm over halfway through with this book on combatting cult mind control.
does the dude ever mention jw's (besides one page in the bibliography at the end)?
if not, would there be a way to get a jw to read the book, maybe pointing fingers at some other cult religion so you dont appear to be talking about the witnesses?

did "true christians" make mistakes in the bible?
by homeschool inan elder met with my husband a few nights ago.
i was working but my hubby recorded the whole thing.
one thing that is totally stuck in my brain is talk about the "new light" and how things get brighter and can be clarified easier.

I'm making an anniversary gift & it makes me sad
by homeschool init's my sister's 10th anniversary this friday, and i got all gung ho with making a cd with baby pics through wedding day for both she and her husband.
but as i was getting finished making it, a flood of memories came back as to how i was not only not in my big sister's wedding, but i was barely even invited because i was having jw doubts at the time.
grrrrrrr, kinda left me in a sad mood..... i get so angry at the borg for making both my sisters exclude me from their weddings .

my husband is getting called on by an elder I hate
by homeschool inmy husband was not going to go to the memorial, but then his sister started bullying him via texts...saying that he needed to reconsider his decision not to go.
i work on saturdays usually, and was not home yesterday when an elder (who tried to pursuade my husband to quit dating me a year and a half ago) dropped by to tell him how great it was to see him at the memorial.
hubby is inactive and does not believe the jw's anymore (i'm 99% sure).
