  Pete my experience with JWs I grew up with most have now moved on with their lives. 3 kids in my family 2 faded and 1 JW. My husband 4 children' 3 faded and 1 JW. Simular satistics in the familes I was in KH with. My best guess is 1 in 3 raised in JWs remains a JW for life. By the way all these kids are now senior citizens except one she is only mid 50's

  so i have a couple of options..... 1. an other poster is happy to chat with me but although him and his partner seem lovely i am not sure if i want to, especially at midnight, it's seems a bit sad.

  my jw friend is busy tonight with other jws going to a firework night, would have been nice if i wasn't a secret friend now.. 2. my ex collegue fro my mcdonald's years finishes work around midnight / 12.30, but he can't drink, i am trying to get him to be my wing man, but he needs to be in work new years day anyway.. 3. or i can post away here 24/ f ing /7.

  i love this place guys i really do, but i am so dependent on you guys for human contact, i need to do something more productive with my time.. there are my three options, which one would you choose?.

  last night me and the wife were talking about things that happened to each of us while in the borg that we wished we could have reacted differently... i mean really put someone in thier place for the foolish thing they said or the deplorable action that enacted upon you.

  my wife literally almost came to tears relating something that i was not aware... i wanted to end up going back to the hall for a monthy or so just too handle it.. .

  do you have anything you would like to share to help us remove our own thoughts from our minds lol.

  She left because her parents always took 2 vacations every summer plus the DC. My son and his wife were only married 2 1/2 months and he explained they could attend the DC and one weekend on one of their vacations. She went balistic on him and they started arguing. She left that day and never returned. She and her mother cooked up lies because she didn't want to be married. Arguing was changed to domestic abuse rven though they had two witnesses to the arguement. this was when it became clear that her dad a former Elders word was taken over our families even though no one had ever been before a JC. I even had CO lie directly to me. This mess went on for over 4 years until my son accicdently ran into someone from her circuit who let it out that she had two children and had been df'd. My son remained faithful for 7 years but finally decided to go out and have a life. He was tired of so many JWs lying to him and about him.

  Yes, my husband and I were discussing the incident at breakfast this morning. My sons new wife decided to home to mommy and the Elders went after our son with no kindness or love. The lies directly to my husband and I still haunts us. We just said this AM we would never put ourselves in such a position again. The way ro do that is remove all their power. We stay far/away.

  Did you think Dinosaurs were destroyed in the Flood?

  by LoisLane looking for Superman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in our jw bible, they placed a friendly dinosaur on the inside front cover on the old time map of the middle east.. you look at that, and see where the placement to where the garden of eden is and that was the image i got in my mind.

  dinosaurs lived, but were too big to save in the flood, and besides they had outlived their purpose of fertilizing the earth.

  i feel stupid for the thinking i had when i was 'in'.. is that how you 'thought' when you were 'in'?.

  My Story

  by Brother Mike in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my story is long, heart stopping, tragic, and puzzling.

  since i posted what was said to be my last post, i received a private message which sparked my attention about the watchtower.

  immediately i did research, and have found not only proof from outside sources, but the watchtower openly admitting it.

  Brother Mike Sorry you have had such a tough time. First take time for yourself and allow your self time to grieve for your dad. If you need time alone take it. Bro Mike you need to also grieve for your new knowledge of the WTBTS. I left JWs 20 years ago but it was simply I waa not cutting ties with my df'd son. One year ago I stumbled across JWN since I have found so much Unknown info on the org. I have gone thru many emotions from anger, grief, and I'm starting to be more confortable with my new knowledge. Now you lost a friend. You must now take care of Mike. Best wishes and do take care of yourself. Love Gma
