so last night i was talking to my sister about how i admired president obama's speech to the u.n that happened earlier that day.. i then compared the extremism of isis to how much of a fanatic my jw bil is.. at the end of the statement , my mom walked in to the kitchen.

she was standing in the living room and she heard everything i said.. she called the elders that night to tell them what i said so they can counsel me.. i'm going to meet with them after the meeting on sunday!.

what do i do?!!!!!.

My best friend died yesterday

sometimes people make special connections to animals.

sometimes they bond very deeply and are real friends.

yesterday was the end of such a friendship that lasted ten wonderful years.

So sorry for your sadness. I had a best-friend dog who was arthritic and feeble at 17 and I had to have him put to sleep. I think I cried harder that day than I ever had before. Hugs to you.

2014 AGM announcement rumour

by yadda yadda 2 in

from barbara anderson, former watchtower headquarters researcher and writer, on another recent thread:.

it is expected that at the 2014 annual meeting, usually held the first saturday in october, will serve watchtower leaders well to cover-up all the 100-years of prophetic nonsense.

rumor has it they are going to celebrate their 100-years of announcing the kingdom in an adroit way by featuring a move of "great" significance to do with the expansion of the governing body to an "apostolic" 12 or some other fantasy idea.. .

to give you some background on who i am i can say that i'm a girl in my late teens and live in western europe.

my mom is a jw and my dad is not.

Welcome! Very happy that you are strong enough to think for yourself and that you have the courage to stop living a double-life.

Can you get any support from your siblings?

Love all the people...

by new hope and happiness in

there are a lot of topics about religiouse hatred, so on a personal level why do you find it difficult to love or like individuals?.

I think there's a huge difference between "hating" a person and disliking their actions. Love comes in at the level of trying to understand what motivates a person to act disagreeably. You don't need to be friends with those you dislike but you also don't need to label them and push them away. Allow them to be, and get on with your life without needing to react to their actions.

A little kindness goes a very long way.
