Weclome to the group.

Weclome to the group.
i have two true strange stories.. the first story is of this guy (lets call him bob) that comes to the portland oregon exjw "meet up group.".
the strange thing about bob is he has never been a jw...or ever wanted to be.
so why does he come to the meetings?.
There is no law that can prevent a parent the ability to teach their children ANY religion.The parents can't loose custody just because they are teaching them to become Witness.
Last weekend his kids came over to his home. They had a easter egg hunt...they didn't really want to do it but did anyway. They took all the eggs, candy and baskets home with them. The next morning all the eggs, baskets (no candy) were sitting on his front door step.

Yes, there is all way two sides to every story...
I have meet "Bob" and talked to him many times he seems like a very nice man.
What was his marriage was like? I have no idea...
The story is not about the marriage but about the brain washing his daughters are getting from "Tom" and his exwife.
The man comes to my home with tears in his eyes asking me about what he can do to stop the the brain washing!
i believe in god, but i don't think he is guiding me or making life easier for me.. some see god in every aspect of their lives, and if there is hardship in life, god is behind this so that you can get stronger through this bad experience.. and when things go well, it's god's hand at work..
What if we are all Gods or a part of God divine spark?
What if we are all divine immortal spirit creatures?
If that is true, you ask why is my life so full of drama and pain?
What or who puts these things into our lives?
Who thought all this up?
The real question is, do you really want to know or are you enjoying your "pain body?"
All your questions can be answered in Erhart Tolle's "A New Earth."

Bob"s wife had an affair with a "Brother"(Tom) who was in good standing." She meet Tom at work. Tom was married with a two small children. She left Bob (the worldly guy) for Tom the JW.
Tom was reproved. Tom then convinced her that only way they could be together and get married, was for her to join his religion (the JWs) which she did. They are now married...and raising Bob's two young daughters.
When the young girls see their "worldly" Father on the weekends...The girls tell their dad how "He will soon be dead, since he is not one of Jehovah's Witnesses."
I wonder were that came from?
My heart goes out to Bob...he was never in the witness Hell...but the witness hell has found him and is ripping his family apart.
The second story I'm confirming the facts on and will be posted on April 2, 2008. This is one of the sickest stories, I have ever heard in or out of the "borg" and can't wait to get everyones reaction to it.
It will blow your mind!
