Distrust and paranoia among faders
by cedars inhi guys.
i'm interested in knowing whether any other faders out there ever find themselves feeling a little paranoid about establishing contact with other faders or former jws, just in case the unthinkable happens and things turn sour.. personally, i'm now fairly comfortable with the idea that i will be disfellowshipped or disassociated within the next year or so.
i see it as inevitable, and an essential transition in order to do what i want to do with my life.

Is the grass greener on the other side?
by What Now? inhi all.... so my mom phoned me up this morning and said she needed to talk to me about something.
she asked me whether or not our (worldly) family thought that my husband and i were witnesses anymore.
one, someone in my family said to her, "i didn't know you guys wear short dresses like that" - commenting on a slightly above the knee dress i had worn to a family event.

Lost best friend...
by lostinnj83 inso i am not even out yet and i feel as though i have already lost my best friend.. i asked her if i could use her as a reference on an apartment rental if i decide to go the route of separation from my husband.
she knows all of what i went through in my marriage and how much pain and suffering that i have endured.. at first she said yes, no problem, then she asked if i would be speaking to the elders about it, and i said no, she asked why not, i said that is my choice to do or not do.. her response was that i pray and speak to the elders and that she thinks it best that i don't use her as a reference because she would feel that she was supporting my decision to separate.
i said fine but i also said that her response seems to be more of a concern about me speaking to the elders rather than being concerned for my well being.

I haven't seen this persecution on JW.org
by Newly Enlightened inhttp://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=1792.
this makes me so mad because they're appealing to this forum18/osce [u.n.] to get their religious freedom, but look what they do to their own people.. i just got an e-mail from a friend [current jw] he said they're 'softening to a kinder gentler wtbt$' really????
obviously they haven't told the all the other jw's because we're still being shunned and called nasty mentally diseased apostates.

when "we" grew up, the standardized tests were straigh forward math problems.
the standardized math test is now only 16 questions long, but they are all long, drawn out word problems.

Overcoming objections
by Kool Jo inhow do you overcome the following objections if you were to reason with a jw?.
1. jehovah uses imperfect people to accomplish his will.
in bible times, he used imperfect servants to accomplish great things.. 2. we must wait on jehovah for clarification on matters.. .
