  Les amities garcons / filles chez les TJ sont uniquement dans le but du marriage. Alors pour les TJ ton ami est beaucoup trop jeune pour commencer a frequenter. Meme si tu etait TJ ce ne sera pas bien vu. Si ton ami est baptise TJ il va se retrouver dans la soupe chaude, peut-etre au point d etre exclus (renie par toute sa famille et ses amis) si vous continuez.

  Pour ton information personnelle voici un site du Quebec en francais concernant les TJ

  OBSERVATIONS BY MY THERAPIST

  by Far North in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my last therapy session was all about the "truth".

  after many sessions i finally brought up the thought that maybe some of my depression and low self-esteem issues have to do with spending 40 years in a high-control religion.. i won't bore you with all the details but some of the highlights of what i said bothers me are:.

  my never feeling like i am doing enough or are good enough.. having regrets about missed opportunities and having let others control my life.. constant changing of doctrine and dates.

  Hi Far North. You must be from frigid Canada like me. I have to agree with others here.

  Im a 3 rd generation Dub, was in the high-mind-control cult for 40+ years, pioneered, eldered etc.. I felt much like you and understand where you are coming from. Read C of C. Then ask yourself who taught you and made you believe that:

  YOU have no hope for salvation

  YOU will never make the grade

  YOU can never do enough to be "whole-souled".

  Everything YOU have done in the past is negated.

  That YOU are presently in a spiritually "sick" condition

  Jehovah is an exacting God who has no problem destroying the majority of mankind.

  So what chance do YOU have?

  YOU still don't think YOU have any chance to be one of the "spared ones

  the answer is the Watchtower does the Watchtower faithfully represent God or the Bible? Youll shake your head in disbelief as you read how this group of men, who seemingly don't have any more insight into scripture than the average day-to-day busy J.W., claim to understand every verse of Bible prophecy and doctrine. Unfortunately their personal view's and understanding's end up deciding other people's beliefs, hopes and lives. We, as J.W's, taught people studying with us to make sure of all things, to do research, and to leave behind false teachings. It is sad to say that we never personally examined our own religious history and organization. It was presented as unnecessary...and was actually forbidden. So w e took for granted that what we were being told by our parents and by our religious leaders was the truth of God. Is that really so extraordinary? Most of mankind live and die professing the same religion. I consider myself lucky that I finally woke up and chalked J.W.s up on the board with all the other Babylon-the-Greaters. Better late than never!

  My Daughter's Letter to Elders!

  by reubenfine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, my daughter decided to write they letter.

  the foundation for this letter can be found in my previous thread a couple of days ago which can be found at http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=44457&site=3.. she wrote her heart and gave them some good counsel.

  she was generous and kind in her comments, yet concise and to the point.

  Great letter. The letter was the easy and cheap way for you daughters ex to be free to get remarried. Now the elders will tell the ex that he will have to gather evidence (hire a detective to follow your daughter etc.) to prove she is living in sin. When they feel sufficient proof to have been gathered, then he will be able to remarry.

  Fade... let them ask why... tell them there are a lot of things troubling you... don't empty the whole barrel all at once, tell them 1 thing that upsets you at a time.

  If you mention facts that are undeniable and simply say they are troubling you it will be difficult to d'a you. A C.O. visited us and wanted to know what was going on. We told him a lot of things were troubliing us like people getting told not to have kids now on their pension, 1975, the peace and security talks, king of the north and south etc. He couldn't deny any of the points that we told him upset us, and he couldn't d'f us for them ... after all we didn't teach them!

  Why So Many Magazines?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why does the watchtower have to print so many different magazines every two weeks?

  the truth is out since over 2000 years, and the truth didn't change since the time of jesus.

  so why does the watchtower have to give us the latest version of the truth every 2 weeks?

  Keep one submissive group busy, reading the mindset, maintaining the WT mould on their heads, feeling superior and spiritual, exclaiming: Wasnt that a timely article in the latest Tower.

  This in turn keeps the other less submissive group, who doesnt read all the mind control articles, in check, by making them feel guilty and inferior: Duh, no, I havent got around to that article yet, duh

  Experience what ACSOT describes. Visit Montreal. Tour the medical facilities. Don't worry about the French. People move to Montral who don't speak English or French. Enjoy this great city!
