I want to send a follow-up question to my sister who has recently cut me off
by Faithful Witness inrecently, i received this email from my jw sister: .
while i appreciate the thought, please do not send us gifts.. our kids are not missing out on anything other than things we try to protect them from.. at this time, based on prior encounters and their affect on me emotionally, i think it would be best if we didn't communicate.. i hope you can understand my decision and the fact that it is not meant to offend anyone.. .
i sent her a loving and forgiving message, and know she has no intention of answering me.

Looking for thoughts to share about current WT magazine...
by Faithful Witness ini have been in another phase of jw encounters lately.
it is almost like the twilight zone... in the last 3 days, i have run into a jw every single day.
i saw my bible teacher, her daughter, and another acquaintance from the kingdom hall we attended.

My sister's decision to ex-communicate me, just might rock the boat!
by Faithful Witness init was 11 days after i received the email from my sister, informing me that she is no longer going to communicate with me.. i was never a jw, so i don't fully comprehend this decision, nor do i understand the games jw's play.. i talked to my mom yesterday, and she (baptized within last year) is getting more and more fed up with the nonsense.
she has been trying to get everyone to come together, and she is seeing more and more extreme behavior from my sister and her husband.
my mom is blaming my brother in law, but my sister has clearly spoken up and said she is speaking for herself also.

JW Prayer vs. Christian Prayer
by Faithful Witness inwe studied for a few years with the jw's.
the public prayers were often an endurance test, while holding exhausted babies.
to be honest, i have forgotten the jist of most of their prayers.

Epic FAIL! :( My sister is gone from me.
by Faithful Witness ingot this email from my sister today.
there is a lot of back story, and this isn't a surprise.
it will be interesting to see how it affects the rest of the family, if they hear about it or not.

I got my money back
by Faithful Witness ini posted a question here after i sent packages to my jw niece and nephew in december.
i wasn't sure what the response would be.
yesterday, i got an email that the packages were "undeliverable," and my money was refunded.

The packages will arrive today... What do you think will happen?
by Faithful Witness ini have decided that ignoring my niece and nephew during the holidays, is the most unloving thing i could possibly do.
they stopped celebrating christmas and birthdays, after my sister began studying with jw's about 6-7 years ago.
we did not celebrate either, until 3 years ago, when my son was 2 and my daughter was 4, and we'd figured out that the jw's are wrong about this decision.

Is there anything the WTS could say that would NOT be accepted as fact?
by Faithful Witness inthis is a follow-up from the recent thread from adjustments, addressing the mind control and manipulation the wts uses to threaten the jw's into unquestioning submission.. is there any statemtent they could make, that people would not question?
honestly, if you read their study articles, it is unbelievable what the people will listen to, swallow as "truth," and then regurgitate to others, as if it has always been their belief.
we visited a local kh for the september 8 & 15 lessons on new light.
