  This really is tough when you're dealing with a Parent. Yuck.

  As a Mom with Grown Children, I can assure you, your Dad will Survive the Shock if you just tell him like it is.

  e-watchman mass banning

  by spiceant in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  recently e-watchman started deleting/suspending (theres a difference?

  ) accounts of people on the e-jehovahs-witnesses.com forum left and right which he and the moderating team deemed to be discussing apostate things as in apostate in brother kings own vision, further detailed in some posts (basicly barring out discussions of jw doctrine).. i suppose my own offenses was my "staying in the org.

  " thread and one that explained that one should not depend on kh's to be able of worshipping.

  My opinion of e-Watchman is Extremely Low. He's a Watchtower Wannabe with a Following of his own.

  Knocking on Doors on Holidays

  2. experiences

  did anyone else's congregation "strongly encourage" this practice?

  when i was a worshiping rusell.... jehovah.

  i felt sick to my stomach and disgusted that these people had absolutely no consideration for the beliefs or practices of others.

  It's really difficult at first because the Watchtower Organization is your Entire World. You might wan't to do some reading. Crisis Of Conscience is a Good Book to start with.

  Explain to a "Non JW", what it's like to be a JW

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  where would you start?.

  i guess you could write a whole book on what is acceptable and what's wrong, and the consequences to your actions.

  you could also say all that you have to do and what you have to avoid..

  It's rather difficult for outsiders to comprehend. They think I must be joking.

  My son Aaron had a Non-JW Friend in High School who was half Jewish and half Catholic. This Friend Joe didn't know Aaron was a JW until he started cracking Jokes about the Witnesses. Aaron replied, "That's what I Am" ~ Joe was a little embarrassed but came back with "Well I really don't know what I Am; I guess God will tell me when I die"

  The boys were best friends until Joe died in 1994 at the age of 17. Aaron is 30 now yet whenever he comes back home to visit, he makes a special point of seeing Joe's Parents too. This Bond is much stonger than any he had with any of the JWs.

  Why do apostates lie about where they get their information?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it does no good.

  i don't understant it - who do they think they're foolin'?.

  i have just been listening to the judicual committee that disfellowshipped rick and laverne townsend and it is cringeworthy, to say the least, to listen to them cover-up, distort and outright lie about the sources of their information and the real background to their dissent.

  Perhaps we should go easy on slimboyfat. This is probably How he Gets His Time in for the Watchtower.

  I encouraged my children to have friends in and Outside of the Congregation. It seemed the Worldly Friends were Kinder and Easier to get along with.

  Confessing to the elders...

  by tan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone ever had to confess their sins to the elders...left out some of the details or "other gross" sins...but wondered if you were truly forgiven of your sins?

  or was reproved and given back your priviledges but knew that you didn't tell everything.

  how did you feel afterward?

  I've come to believe many elders are perverts and enjoying getting the juicy details. They they get further excitement seeing the individual squirm.
