Did I say too much, and scare away my elderette? What has happened to Miss K?
by Faithful Witness ini have had 3 sessions of what is most likely being tracked as a "bible study" with an elderette who is from the kh we stopped attending about 3-4 years ago.. after last week's visit and bible verse study, she asked me if she should return.
i had expressed concerns that she was a heretic, and i had a friend who had warned me not to let her into my house.
i told her i had to think about whether i wanted to study the bible teach book with her.

How long have you been an online "apostate?"
by Faithful Witness ini really do not like that word (apostate), as used to represent someone who decided to remove themselves, or was removed from the influence of the watchtower... but i am curious.. how long have websites like these been in existence?
when did this movement begin?.
personally, how long did it take for you to dare exploring information outside the watchtower publications, about jehovah's witnesses (especially online)?.

Strike 3 for the elderette and me! (???) I never heard a JW talk SO much about Jesus!
by Faithful Witness inmiss k and her friend miss w arrived promptly today.
our scheduled topic of discussion: jesus' claim to be "the way, the truth and the life..." john 14:6 since she was basing this topic choice on the fact that i had quoted that verse, i'm not sure why... she spent what seemed like a very long time, hopping through scriptures that all said that jesus was the truth, the way, or the life.
ok, so we agreed... i kept waiting for her to get to a point, or sway from this principle.. of course, she summed up with scriptures that show how jesus submits to the father, and what does that mean we should do?

Do different congregations compare notes on householders or their bible students?
by Faithful Witness ini have posted other threads about my studies with an elderette, that began a few weeks ago.
we live in the territory of a kh in another zip code, but when we moved here we did not realize that.
we went to the kh that shared our post office.

Grandma called the other day, and chose to tell my kids about the tornadoes
by Faithful Witness ini know this might be overreacting, and i have not said a peep about it to my kids or anyone else... .
last week, my kids wanted to call my mom during the day.
on her last visit, they had talked about calling her on her day off at home.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life..." What is the JW perspective on this passage?
by Faithful Witness inhow important is the phrase, "i am" to jw's, when it is spoken by jesus about himself?
my elderette wants to examine this scripture (john 14:6) together next week.
i'm wondering what rabbit she is going to pull out of her hat.

My Elderette is returning today to CONDUCT another conversation...
by Faithful Witness inshe has had 42 years of training and indoctrination.
i'm feeling sort of nervous, but also looking forward to it.
this will be our second scheduled session together, and we never did agree on a topic.. i'm assuming she will come with an agenda and another prepared presentation.

Mom is coming over tomorrow. What should I ask?
by Faithful Witness inmy mother is visiting us again tomorrow, only 5 weeks since her last visit.
things seem to be going pretty well with her, and the kids are enjoying having grandma back in our routine.
she is retiring at the end of may (age 65), so she promises that this is going to mean more time with family.

Wow! I saw my sister last night, and she came as her old self!!
by Faithful Witness ini went to watch my niece's orchestra recital last night.
i knew my parents were coming, and was pleasantly surprised to see my jw sister and niece were there also.
i don't think my family realized (nor did i) that this was a christian homeschool music program.
