  conscious of my spiritual need, what next?

  by stillhurts in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so once you leave, what next?

  have you found anything from a spiritual standpoint that brings you happiness and satisfaction?.

  have you been so scarred by the teaching that "all religions are wrong", that you can't see the truth anywhere?.

  Apostates are blown out of the water by an elder's response to my e-mail

  by never a jw in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the following are two emails (one mine, one from an elder) that are part of an exchange regarding the unfairness of shunning.

  he is an elder and a substitute of the c.o.

  he comes from a "highly decorated" family of jw's.

  i'm only going to the meeting because of my husband!

  i was 'in' solo for years while living with my unbelieving family and i know how it feels to be the only one in your house going to the meeting.

  i also respect my husband's decision, and know what it's like to have family try to tear down your beliefs.

  Hypocritical comments by JWs regarding the Catholic Church in light of the new Pope.

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm curious, what can you expect to hear from jws this week?

  or have you heard anything already.

  since awakening, i find it to be hilarious when jws badmouth catholics and the pope but are completely oblivious to how hypocritical they are considering the gb and other wt heavyweights..
