I know
by Jesus Christ ini know that my grandmother died before her time because she refused a transfusion that could have saved her life long enough to see her grandson get married.
i know there was nothing i could have told my cousin back in high school when he said he didn?t want to disobey god by taking blood to fight his leukemia but even more importantly didn?t want to die.
i know i have a cousin whose wife loves him but unlike most couples doesn?t expect to spend forever with her husband because he?s the only one that will be going to heaven.

im sure you'd agree this is soo ironic
by nelly1 ini am now much much happier....i spent 13 years in that org and was treated like a leper most of the time, i spent 14 years single and then married a brother i met on the net in another country...usa actually then what a freaken nightmare that was...he ignored me and i might as well have married a stone statue....and we wouldnt have known what to do with a woman even if 100 real men showed him.. i walked away from that mess and now after having been out for over a year i have developed a relationship with the most wonderful man in the world who isnt a witness and as a matter of fact is an athiest but is one of the most loving caring people i have ever met.... so now in effect im the happiest i have ever been in my life.... how ironic huh??
and they say there is no life outside the organisation...well i say crap there is more real life...and more happiness than living under those horrible conditions where they pay a hell of alot of lip service to the word love ....and absolutely no practical application of it.i now.
i now like alot of others have realised that a loving god could not possibly destroy so many loving people who are not jw.. its a bunch of crap..i beleive he saves on your individual attitude myself..what is in your heart and the motivation behind what you do.. anyway i just wanted to say that im one of those ones whos soo happy now that i left and i have a much better life now :)

Did The Elders Always Talk With You "In A Spirit of Mildness"???
by minimus injw's, are as a rule, self-righteous pharisees.
they were the first to "report" you if they believed that you did something not up to standards.
even if you started "thinking" a certain way that might be considered "worldly", you might be talked to by 2 elders to "readjust you in a spirit of mildness.

by minimus inone congregation in the 70's allowed only white shirts to be worn on the platform.
if an out of town speaker didn't know the "rule", it was ok. the brothers kept a variety of white shirts in different sizes in case that happened.

Memorable Field Service Moments
by Loris infor the most part field service is a dull event-less drudgery.
but there are those rare times that something happens that makes it almost worth the effort.. while living in the state of washington i was privileged to meet a rare sister.
she was funny and a bit off the wall.
