  Failure

  by backformore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so tonight just sucks ad i just want to vent to people who don't know me irl.. my wife and i have two kids.

  i was still in when we got together but my wife never was.

  when we actually got married i moved out of my parents place and never went back to a kingdom hall again.

  Backformore...hello, ...while I understand babyfever,

  I think you may be in denial of your reality.

  Facts are hard to accept sometimes, especially when

  it points to a loss of youth. It might not be a case of

  losing out on another child!

  A couple of facts that you have given us, is that

  you do have two lovely healthy children already and.....

  "I have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, and renal failure. My wife had breast cancer at 30"

  *

  Your decision of course........... only my 2 cents!

  My Wife Now Questions God

  by Jon Preston in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  well my wife and i have been through a roller coaster of life since i convinced her the dibs werent the truth.

  the hardest tests have been lived but we are closer than ever now.

  now recently shes read "the shack" nd watched some movies about god and just cant seem to inderstand why god would allow all of this suffering just to prove to satan that hes "the man" (or woman).

  This is a hot issue with many people.....wt says

  god has to prove (by our worship etc) that he is

  the true/supreme god...... or else what would all

  those angels think of him, if he just obliterated A&E

  or that bright angel in the garden.

  *

  Well, ...after setting man kind right back to just 8

  people, by flooding the earth & killing everything he

  could........he has sat back & watched generations

  (millions & millions) of people & babies & animals

  suffer in agony, beaten, raped, sickend with

  horrendous diseases, blinded, deaf & speachless

  a n d t h a t is O K????????????????? with him!!

  *

  What......pray tell, do all the myriads of angels

  think of him now! After they look at the legacy

  of death he has instituted on mankind????

  *

  Or ....does god not exist, and it is up to each and

  everyone of us to make this earth a wonderful

  place to live.

  My jw mum threw us out.

  by abbasgreta in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my brother (non-jw but became a christian 6 months ago) and i nursed my aged jw mother back to a semblance of strength over the last three weeks.. the elders were happy to pass the buck on to me, her da'd daughter and my bro.. he has been living with her for 3 months and has transformed her ill-kept home and garden and literally nursed her like a professional alone.

  before i stepped in to help him care for her.

  he repeatedly told her how much he loved her and was so caring, it brought a lump to my throat.. he has been going to church sunday mornings, telling her he 'was meeting up with friends' so as not to cause friction.but she knew where he had been.. we noticed a shift in her demeanour towards us (she knows i'm a church-goer) over the week-end and she started to.

  Dear Abba & your Dear Brother, so sorry this

  has happened to you both. Take very good care

  of one another.

  This farcical religion has ruined the wholesome

  atmosphere that should exist in families.

  They have stolen loyalties that would have

  naturally existed between family & friends...

  and sucked it all up ......for themselves!

  Watchtower leaders should all be arrested

  and thrown in jail ... for keeps this time!

  *

  My heart goes out to you both and to all

  those suffering under this rule of buffoons

  and all their made-up "laws"!

  Were you or someone you know sexually molested by a Jehovah's Witness ?

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?

  remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.

  what about the thousands that don't get caught?

  No I didn't flipper. The only reason I even

  found out about this was a "momentary

  spilling of the beans" Actually told all their

  names ...but darn they were reeled off so fast

  my brain couldn't grasp them! I did try to find

  out info on the one who went to jail ..newspaper,

  google etc, but no luck. This went back about

  15 yrs ago I'm guessing!

  The one telling this was reassured tho (ya rite!)

  that because he was sent to jail, that was that..

  and every one was good again after that!!!!!!!!!

  Lesson learned ......huh? So deluded!

  Two more quitters!

  by apocalypse in

  2. experiences

  in my city, there's been a husband and wife who quit this week.

  hurray!.

  the first thing that came to mind when i heard it was 'they didn't need my help'.. you see, many in my city who quit in the past were previously on my mailing list.

  Many are sending these out, they

  Long after leaving, I found out that there

  were 7 (one sent to prison) 7 elders who

  were molesting children in my old

  congregation ....... wow it made my blood

  run cold!!!!

  When questioning about brother xxxxx,

  the answer was " oh no he only abused

  his own kids"! ......ONLY!!!!

  Omg, parents are taking an awful chance by

  joining the jw cult!

  It's my birthday today

  by Bruja-del-Sol in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ... but most of my new (post jw) friends either don't know my birth date (if people don't specifically ask i won't tell them), or they are 2500 kilometers away in the netherlands... so all that's left to celebrate with me are my hubby, the two doggies, cat and my two rabbits... mixed feelings, i miss my friends and family around and haven't found friends in spain yet.

  luckily our daughter will visit us the end of the month... and yesterday we've found a new rental house and we're moving into it next month already!

  i'm thrilled and really looking forward to it, then we will finally be able to let all the rest of our belongings come to spain (2/3 of our stuff is stored in the netherlands).. so with this in mind, i'll just say 'happy birthday to me' and will enjoy my third birthday in espana .

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it takes time to stop thinking or reacting like a jehovah's witness.. are you still judgmental?

  a know it all?

  a person that listens more with their heart instead of their head---like jehovah's witnesses ???.

  Guess I have changed in a lot of ways, sure

  don't look at others as 'bird food' at all anymore.

  Buuutttt.......still kinda maaaddd about all that crap

  we were taught, that was always wrong.....but never

  ever ever an apology or admitting they were running

  ahead & disobeying the 'scriptures'! Or recognizing

  that they ruined so many lives!

  The frustration of talking to a person with a closed mind

  by TheStumbler in

  2. beliefs

  okay, this is going to be a bit of a general rant.

  i had a long conversation with a jw elder recently about shunning and evolution.

  i became qunite frustrated with the conversation and admitted this at the time.

  "Yeah, I know its pointless. I always fool myself into think if I craft the perfect argument they will see the light. That's what I suppose is so frustrating."

  Know exactly how you feel, I have been really

  frustrated by this very thing.... their whole watchtowerese

  is sooooooooooooocrazy making!

  The TRUE story of a Pedophile

  by Tech49 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this is a true experience that i thought i would share, one that occurred just a few years ago in my area.

  it is a real experience, nothing made up here.. a younger couple moved into our kh, into the joining congregation (so not ours, but the other one that shared our kh).

  they seemed nice enough, they had one boy that was about 8, and a baby on the way.
