  How to make your exit with minimal pain while still living at home with your parents

  by sseveninches in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as requested, i've made a new thread with the info i posted on a previous thread.

  this is intended for young jws who have woken up from their anesthesia but still cannot move, or in other words, have learned ttatt but are still living with parents and are afraid of getting kicked out if they make their opinions/findings known.

  i am included in this group of people, because i myself still live at home with parents.

  Can anyone prove that birthday celebrations are forbidden by God?

  by FaithfulBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that there is no mention of any birthday celebrations in the bible besides the two which were celebrated by non-believers.

  and it just so happened that on each of these events, someone died (one non-believer and one believer).

  but does it mean that just because the bible mentions these two events, that all birthday celebrations are forbidden?

  Some apostates are sociopaths

  by myusername in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  that is a controversial title to this post.

  i think most apostates are kind-hearted people who want to warn others about this organization and help others get out of it.

  however, some jws are sociopaths.

  Really stupid comment from an elder (and he was completely serious!)

  by freshstart in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my husband and this elder in our old congregation used to trade dvds and such, just letting each other borrow them.

  they would always return them to each other in a timely manner, no big deal.

  well in 2005 they had traded some and about a week after that, a terrible natural disaster hit our area and everyone was displaced and it was a few months before things got settled back down again.

  I just "witnessed" officially for the first time!!!

  by NoRegrets in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i mean door to door (sort of), not informally to non-witness friends and family!.

  so for a few weeks, i have suspected that my neighbor across the hall was being studied with by witnesses.

  i wasn't sure but saw a couple of older women leaving with what looked like bibles, but never saw watchtower literature.

  Who knows GB email adresses?

  by mauiboy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just an idea: could we contact members of the gb thru email...or even snail mail, to let them know how many of us are aware of what is on the horizon in australia with the wwc/unthank/victoria court case with hopes of urging them to come clean.

  if i were amongst the gb members, i would be losing sleep after watching whats happening to penn states joe paterno, jerry sandusky and mcqeary for taking part in the pedophilia scandal cover-up and the responsibility they did not fulfill in contacting the the police to handle the situation instead of handing it of to their next-up superior.

  i doubt the gb would be so honest as to take any action, but it would be interesting to test the idea.......make them squirm, perhaps.

  My story in more detail

  by freshstart in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so as i stated in my first post, i was born to witness parents.

  from early on, my parents were both quite fanatical about the "truth.

  " we couldn't even eat lucky charms cereal because they thought it had satanic connections.
