Words that were really hard to hear...
by NeverKnew inlast night, i listened to words that were really hard to hear.
i'm not sure how much of the conversation i blocked out.. i intentionally initiated a conversation with a jw man that i've grown very fond of who has been talking about marriage next year as recently as last weekend (our anniversary weekend).
we have had the conversation before, but i have to admit, i have a tough time listening and i find that i leave the conversations not believing what i'm hearing so therefore i can't seem to retain the details.

Could you live with not talking to your JW family for the rest of your life?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inone of greatest obstacles to leaving the organization is the destruction of the family unit.
as lady-lee wrote about oompa, i thought of this topic, the society says "this is their way to get wrong doing people to return to the loving arms of jehovah after they repent of their sins" .
i know of men and women who are in good standings and hate their fellow spiritual jw family, i am willing to bet, wager that "jw-hatred" exceeds the worlds hatred, something about a self-assured group versus the "not so self assured' creates one plucked up structure.

Please read
by JeffT inmy father passed around 9 this morning.
he'd been in poor health for some time, but it still comes as a shock to have him gone.
we are going to miss him terribly.

I to have a missing but NEVER found family member, very painful indeed! RIP Whitney!
by haboob48 ini am at such a loss for words, i have stared at this screen for about an hour not knowing how to address this.
i feel for the family of this young woman and any way you slice it, closure or no closure, it is the same.
i will however say that the said missing person had just went through a disfellowshipping and divorce, and there was a dispute over property.

Shunning non-JWs and shunning in general
by jws inoften the topic of shunning comes up on this forum, how bad it is, unloving, etc.. my question is this.
even if you think disfellowshipping is bad, have you ever cut off ties and/or avoided anyone?
maybe not to the level of jws, but do you just try to avoid talking to some people or try to be in another part of the room at social events?

More disfellowshippings.
by Chariklo init is eight months since i went to a meeting in a kingdom hall.
in that time i've met one or two witnesses, including elders, as i've been out and about in this small town.
some have been pleased to see me, some have avoided me.
