My First Birthday!!!!!
by Gojira_101 inmy birthday isn't until the end of july but yesterday i got my first birthday gift in the mail.
my best friend (stubborn disbeliever) sent me my gift early.

I need some help please! What are the questions for DF'ing
by Gojira_101 ini know i have seen topics on here stating what the questions are for a jc meeting that the elders ask, but i can't find them.. can someone please tell me what those questions are or provide a link to the topic?.
i know one of them is something like "do you believe that this is god's spirit directed organization?".
{editted to add} if you are a suspected apostate what are the questions they ask you?.

Fading ... and Feeling Lost
by What Now? inprior to that we had been in a new congregation for about 9 months, and we were just irregular.
my husband rarely went, and i would go occasionally with our toddler son just enough to show our faces and keep the elders off our backs, and for the sake of some friendships in our old hall.
all of the reasons i had for going were just no longer important.

I'm somewhat back again
by Gojira_101 ini had to take a break from jwn here because after all the drama that unfolded over a certain new anti-wt organization i had to back off because i had unbearable emotions and "flashbacks" to being a jw and being bullied.
even though i didn't experience any direct bullying, seeing it happen caused all the negative emotions to come back because i felt like i was back at the kingdom hall.
so i just left for awhile.. i've been having to do a lot of soul searching lately and reevaluating my life.

I just informed the parents about me and the TTATT... heart wrenching
by sosoconfused inwell first i want to thank everyone here for the good points etc... i have received over the last few months.
you guys have really been helpful!.
so the other day my mother wrote me a 3 page letter telling me how she was so scared for me because she could tell my love for the truth was gone etc.. so i decided i wanted to totally rip the band-aid off and get this matter over and done with.

Should I just DA or get DFD?
by Julia Orwell inmy never-a-jw dad told me today that mongrel jws who turn on me were never truly my friends and i'm better off without them, so why worry if i get disfellowshiped?.
i fear being disfellowshiped because my name will be dragged through the mud.
i also think it might be a good idea to da or get dfd because then the link is broken and the fade is over.

My JW best friend is bringing a 'heavy' around to my house to talk some sense into me.
by Julia Orwell ini agreed, if only because i want to see my friend of many years.
the 'heavy' is a large, imposing man with a booming voice and is a creature of the gb through and thru (eg only visited his dfd dad on his death bed because it was a 'good witness' to the hospital staff) and i'm feeling stressed about seeing him.
i so badly wanted to see my friend though, i agreed without thinking and now wish i hadn't have.

WT should learn from this- "The importance of Mistakes"
by Gojira_101 ini was interpreting a class the other day and the instructor brought in a dvd of john cleese (guy from monty python) giving a speech on "the importance of mistakes" here is the link to an excerpt from his speech http://my.ilstu.edu/~eostewa/art309/mistakes.htm.
i did a quick search to see if i could find the full speech or the video online and i wasn't able to.. basically cleese was saying all people make mistakes, but his main point was it's how we handle the mistakes.
if we admit our mistakes we can then deal with it, handle it and move on.
