  It's funny how serendipitous these memories can be. A simple song comes on the radio and BAM you're back in the witness world feeling guilty for a minute before remembering 'oh yeah, I'm free now!'

  so once again i was able to make a comment to tweak those who were at this mornings wt parrot session using their own printed words.

  the question on par.

  10 was, "why is flirting dangerous?".

  Lol OFS! I don't know why the conductor ever calls on you, he must be desperate,...I can see it now, him looking all around the KH, PRAYING for a different hand to go up, and then swallowing hard, saying 'Br. OFS?' and then holding his breath...

  ok,....I just read your comment, wow!! I can't believe he doesn't get it. You definitely do tell it like it is, actually you sound like someone from ISIS, but apparently that's appealing to him.

  i was raised a witness, baptized at 16, vacation pioneered, got married, etc.

  i was very much your typical witness and believed it was the truth until last summer.

  a very close relative of mine left the witnesses.

  You should help your cousin decorate his house, it would be lots of fun for you. Just keep it on the down low with your husband. Christmas lights are awesome. I am religious, and christmas is definitely religious for me, but it's also a celebration of light during the darkest days of the year. The pagans had a great idea, and Jesus is the light of the world, so it all ties together. :)

  The Romans did not crucify robbers

  by purrpurr in

  i've been reading a book called nonsense from the bible.

  in it it makes the point that the romans did not crucify robbers.

  having since researched this it seems this is true.

  Another one decides to leave

  well in a month where i had a friend of 20 years tell me "we can't kick it no mo" because i no longer go to meetings, i had an even older friend who is coming to visit me, call me and tell me hes out.. currently a high profile ms who gives talks out all over the place, the elders said they are recommending him for appt to the body in sep when the co is coming through.

  but nope......hes about to step down all together.. what did it?

  because i am not disfellowshipped, and soft peddle my issues with the org, i was able to speak to him about things like blood, and a couple other things.

  My husband had a similar reaction, wondering how our kids could ever be moral if we left the jw's. You forget what it is like from inside a KH, that they constantly tell you how no one else loves God and is immoral and that the whole world is satanic and basically a death pit. Hopefully, like my husband,his wife will start noticing people on the outside that are truly loving without conditions and her perspective will be changed. Once you learn a few things these gradual changes are inevitable, it just takes time. My husband came to a large church party at my new church and said he was surprised there were could be so many upright looking people under one roof. It's not what witnesses are conditioned to believe is possible.

  Discussing the RC with a friend and my JW wife was listening.

  by Driving Force in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am fuming at the moment and my wife has made me so angry.. i live in germany and an ex jw, a friend of mine is also ex jw but does not understand english so i was giving him a rundown on the friday session of the rc with gj.

  my wife was in another part of the house but heard my phone ring and so she came to listen, i did not realize this, because when the phone rang i closed two doors between myself and my wife.

  she opened the first door and started listening to the conversation.

  This is horrible. She was asking for this, spying on you. She's also not following anything she's 'supposed' to be doing, withholding sex for six months. What, like that's going to bring you back to Jehovah?!

  Are you mostly able to keep the peace, or is your daughter exposed to lots of nastiness? I wonder if divorce might be a good option now, or later, so that you can closely keep supporting your daughter until she is in college.

  i'm really sorry this whole situation has happened to you.

  Is Jackson embarrassed to be a JW?

  by Doubting Bro in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i listened to the majority of jackson's part one testimony and it seems apparent to me that he either:1) is embarrassed to be a jw or 2) doesn't really believe.

  i've heard countless times from the platform and in print that we should be proud to be jws and take every opportunity to defend our beliefs.

  yet, it seems jackson didn't even want to admit that he believed he was being directly used by jehovah to lead the congregation as his spokesman.

  It's ironic, cuz the GB are the kings of presumption!

  'well that would be presumptuous'..... everything they have ever said is presumptuous.

  I feel for you and your situation. I would say, try to see if you can sign up for any community activities or classes. You are probably driving soon, right? This will give you some independence that you really need. Are you working at getting your GED or high school equivalent? Make sure you get it. You can go to junior college with it and go whichever direction you want. Try to get a job now, too. You are all holed up at home. Try to get out, and you are at the perfect age to be able to do that. Be an advocate for yourself. You don't have to tell your parents yet how you feel about being a JW, but naturally at this time of your life it's time to get driving, get out of the house, get a part time job while finishing up home schooling (can you tell your parents you want to go to public?? That would be even better.) Don't be scared. Embrace life now as much as you can.
