Help! I need advideQ Elders want to speak to me..
by cia171 inas you read in the title, the elders from my congregation want to have a chat with me...which could be about to things...either why havent i gotten baptized ( since ive been in this since i was born...ive been tortured all my life lol) or either because i have a worldly boyfriend.. i dont know what to say in either case!
i cant say i dont want to get baptized because i have to appear to like the religion til i graduate college cuz my mom pays for it and is pract blackmailing me with it, and i cant say tht i will cause i hate it!
and about my boyfriend they will either give me advice about why not to be with him or convert him...so i dont know what to say to to pacify them and not let it get to me...so any advice?

Not a captive, this is beautiful anti-cult-speak....
"I don't need more knowledge. I can already answer all the baptism questions. But I don't have a relationship with God. I am not dedicated. My mom always said that was the most important part. I don't have a relationship with Jehovah yet."
I hope it helps someone somewhere, and I wish I'd had the courage as a teen to say something like that.
All the very best to your daughter and you.

Here is the Letter I am thinking of sending ,give me your input
by troubled mind inattention to the elder body of the *******congregation of jehovahs witnesses .
criminal harassment is defined as "engag(ing) in intentional conduct which the actor [harasser] knows or has reason to know would cause the victim, under the circumstances, to feel frightened, threatened, oppressed, persecuted, or intimidated; and causes this reaction on the part of the victim.

Que sera sera is all very well, Jeff, but does one want the family consequences of that?
(How bizarre that I'm even asking this question in the context of a 21st century western so-called Christian religion.)

Sadly, the JW organization attracts people with low IQ. Difficult for us to acknowledge, since most of us have close relatives in it.

Disfellowshipping - But You KNEW About It Before You Were Baptized!
by Georgiegirl instarted a new topic b/c i didn't want to threadjack another ongoing pointless debate.
:) (isn't it interesting how the apologists all come out around dc time?).
i have seen that statement made over and over again by jws about disfellowshipping.

It is the practice of shunning that i take issue with.
I'm completely with you there, Aussie Oz. If it weren't for this barbaric practice then I'd be happy to say "This is just another religion."
In the past few weeks, though I'm neither disfellowshipped nor have I disassociated myself, two people that I've formerly been close to have expressed that they no longer will communicate with me because I've "left Jehovah".
The attempts at control sicken me.
(And by the way, since when did JW's start shunning people that WEREN'T DF'ed or DA'ed??)

I believe sending a disassociation letter is playing by their rules.

Such hysteria. A mosque *near to* Ground Zero is a good idea. A little bit of tolerance for fellow Americans with different beliefs can only be a good thing.
