this statement appears to be absolute truth if you were to ask any one of jehovah's witnesses to answer the question: who can one turn to for help in making positive changes in their life?
the literature that they read is peppered with examples of people who once were violent or drug addicted or had other addictions such as alcohol or gambling and are now one of jehovah's witnesses.
first, do you believe that one can only make a change by studying the bible with jws?

My x-JW children......
well, the best thing about being a fader is that you can still talk to dubs you meet.
they think they can us the contact to upbuild you and you use it to plant the seeds of 'truth' which is what i did in this situation.. last week when i was at the markets i saw a sister shopping and although i normally avoid dubs, i didn't this time.
i said hello and she was very happy to speak to me.
...Bravo, Bravo....excellent job.....she will always remember who her true "friends" are. The ones that looked out for her and the children. Thank you for being who you are and doing what you do. You are a remarkable women.

got this "experience" in an email.
it was sent by a sister i used to know quite well, i think she sent it to encourage me, but it has had the opposite effect.. "____________________.
baptized at age 5. the mother and father of a little girl had a bible study with xxx.
If this story is true.......It just proves that little childrens brains are like sponges. This little girl seems exceptionally bright. She probably should be taking music lessons or something.

ok.. firstly let me see i can explain this with out too much rambling..... for those who know me, know that i was disfellowshiped in june this year.
before this time, my mother, stepfather and sister shunned me.
since my disfellowshipping, i have not had contact with my parents and an occasional text message from my sister.. i found out last week that my sister was getting married on the saturday just gone (11th october) so i decided to give her a call on friday to wish her luck for her wedding.
Go back now??? Why??? Lookee here at what your sister said:
She informed me that she is going through a tough time and that she hasnt been to a meeting for about 3 months and is having serious doubts.
You need to be stay where you are, and be prepared for when she in completely out of there. She will need you, and if you are busy jumping through JW hoops, you'll be way to busy to just be a friend and a sister. Just be available to her and your neices and your mom, but don't change for them. Let them know at every opportunity how much you love them, and are ready to accept them into your life unconditionally.
Hugs,
Lisa
