  has anyone any good ideas or even scriptural comments that she could use.. .

  Witnesses "Policing" People...Is It True?

  by CrimsonBleu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my sister told me once she likes to "police" people, that it was sort of a game she liked to play.

  she is true to her word, she does just that.

  always seeking the negative, rarely acknowledging positive...anything.. is this common among witnesses?

  I Talked to My Mom Today...

  during a discussion about informing everyone about my uncle's sudden passing.

  i said to her, "being that joe died so suddenly and is younger than you, are you sure you want to keep shunning me?".

  her answer was, of course, to "come back to jehovah".

  as mentioned in my very first port here, i will now give my story and some thoughts i have so far.. i ve been lurking here for about a month, before i registered.

  well, a few months ago something like that would be unthinkable for me.. i was raised as a jw, and serve currently as an elder in a congregation.

  i have family, also jws.

  What Has Hurt You Most About Being A Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, it's not having a "normal" childhood.

  being raised a jw will make you miss out on ordainary kid things.

  you can't have any friends except witnesses---and only jws that measure up.

  I think I understand... I am being shunned...

  by Almost_Did_It in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think i finally realize whats been happening... as i said earlier, i almost took the plunge knee-deep into becoming a jw... i had many confrontations with my wife and others in my family, but i still continued to push forward.... .

  itd been almost 2 years since i first was indoctrinated and 1.5 years since i have been studying... i studied with a friend who was also a co-worker.

  we studied before or after work because it was convenient for us both.. .
