15 years ago my daughter left the truth to live with her boyfriend. During 10 years my wife and I shunned her completely in the hope she would miss us so much she would come back to the congregation. This backfired because she built a new life and replaced us with her in laws...Today I am out of the cult and trying to rebuilt my relationship with her. 10 years of her life are missing in mine...She forgives me but I can't forgive myself. Build a new life with people who will love you unconditionally. Conditional love is selfish and heartless.

Freinds, how many do you have ?
by Satanus ini'll start.
i'm low on friends, for various reasons.
scientists poke their calculators into everything, and the number of friends we can have is one of them.

I have helped many work associates to develop and thrive professionally and many have become friends. I spent 5 decades as a JW and got to know many people who claimed were my brothers. Unfortunately when they moved to another congregation it was the end of our friendship because we no longer would get together...what's the use of having brothers if they have no time to spend with you. The same is true for my JW family. If I don't call them or make an effort to keep in touch, they won't because they're so busy pioneering or caring for their brothers in their respective congregation. Of course the WT makes sure your time is all devoted to them...but once in a while you get to see your friends at the DA...

I am like Dr. Leo Marvin in "What about Bob"
by NVR2L8 ina few days ago i watch the old bill murray movie "what about bob" with my family and realized that i'm in the same situation as dr. leo marvin (played by richard dreyfus).
for those who have never seen this movie, dr. marvin is a psychiatrist who is unable to shake off an obsessed patient who manages to track him down during his family vacation.
the patient befriends the family who see him like a charming man, when in fact he is driving dr. leo crazy.

Resistance...I have been inactive for almost 3 years and elders attempted to speak to me once. I asked them to leave me alone and they have respected my request. The WT has no longer a hold on me but they hold my family as hostages and they are oblivious to this. So they can't see anything wrong about anything the WT does nor will they listen to negative reports on child abuse or question the numerous doctrinal changes of late. My only option is to take baby steps in feeding them information that may trigger their awakening without raising their defense mechanism. As for a vacation, I travel extensively for work, so I get regular breaks from their cultish reasoning and I get to enjoy normalcy while away.

The same proposal was made in Ontario Canada and it was shot down because in this country women have the same rights as men.

Everytime the WTS quotes religious sources they are, according to their own definition, quoting apostates...When they quote William Durant in the Trinity brochure, they are using an apostate to support their claims...the same goes with the Anti-Nicene Fathers...the Catholic Encyclopedia...Justus Lipsius...Johannes Greber...

Falling meteorites...calls to mind WT illustrations in many of their publications...and Asteroid DA14 is causing many to believe the Mayans were only a few weeks off in their calendar...my guess is as good as your's!

A few days ago I watch the old Bill Murray movie "What about Bob" with my family and realized that I'm in the same situation as Dr. Leo Marvin (played by Richard Dreyfus). For those who have never seen this movie, Dr. Marvin is a psychiatrist who is unable to shake off an obsessed patient who manages to track him down during his family vacation. The patient befriends the family who see him like a charming man, when in fact he is driving Dr. Leo crazy. Regardless of the Dr.'s attempt to explain what's going on to his family or to get rid of Bob, every effort backfires and his family sides with Bob.
This made me think of my relationship with my JW family...the more I try to help them understand that there is something wrong with the WTS (Bob), the closer they get to the cult...the WTS lies, but they won't hear it...and when I bring up anything negative about the WTS they think I am the crazy one. But unlike Dr. Marvin, I will not blow up my own house or lose my mind and get locked up in a mental institute. Instead I will be patient and hope that the many changes in doctrine will get their alarm bells running as they did for me a few years back.
Have you ever watched a movie that reminds you of your own situation in regards to the WTS?
