What was the last thing you said to your jw family?
by caves in

7 years ago i had my last conversation with the toxic jw that mostly raised me.

every conversation was toxic for my entire adult life with her.

the last time we spoke was right before the memorial 7 years ago and she was laying on the usual heavy guilt and fear mongering about how jeho counts his people at the memorial.

A & E Cults-Barbara Anderson

2. child-abuse
16 years ago dateline's report on jw's and child abuse was aired may 28, 2002, a tuesday night and tonight a&e aired on may 29, 2018, tuesday night!.

i can't help but think how barbara has tirelessly worked to expose the child abuse issue within the watchtower/jw.org and is still working to not only expose the problem but to help change the laws in the usa to help protect children.

she has a wealth of information gathered for over 20 years on how the governing body protects the pedophile and not help the victims .

"Even if this wasn't the truth, I would still stay. This is the best life to live..."
by HereIgo in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was recently told this by a jw family member when trying to get through to them.

does this quote indicate that maybe such ones have considered that the jw's may not have the truth after all?

or is that just my wishful thinking?

Just curious - is apostasy grounds for divorce?
by LifesNotOver in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i know only adultery is supposed to be grounds for "scriptural" divorce.

i'm a wicked apostate in their eyes, but my believing husband and i still can't get a divorce that would allow him to remarry.

we currently are separated - i have left him.
