Do keep apace, Mrs Jones. Previously, I was addressing Mrs grongojj, so when I realized gringojj was pretending to be her, it was in fact deceptive of him. Get it???
I got it. And I also get that you dont want to talk to the husband too. But I dont think neither Mr or Mrs G are fools to fall for your tripe.
Get that?

She sent me a poem about how I was going to be destroyed at armageddon.
Mrs gringojj:
I'm sorry your "study partner" did this to you. At 8 months along and with two other children as well, this is the time where you need to be looking after yourself, it's not the time to get stressed out about going to meetings so you can continue to have a Bible Study with your "study partner".
If your "study partner" was genuinely interested in having you and your children "inherit everlasting life in paradise" why would she put conditions on you at such an important time of your life? Why would she force you to make a choice to attend meetings in order to maintain your study with her? Why is she more concerned about getting you to the KH than the impending arrival of your baby?
I have a very strong suspicion that your "study partner" may be trying to get you to make the decision to drop the study, instead of making that choice herself. She may view your questioning as evidence of an improper heart condition (or the elders may have told her that the study has become "unproductive"). She may have another "study" waiting in the wings to take your place.
Bible Studies, to a JW, are like trophies. A conquest. A victory. A prize. You are a statistic on a monthly field service report, and up until you get baptized and are submitting your own field service reports, usually the JW will treat you with special care. Once you're on your own, and they can no longer use you to pad their stats, they will have little use for you.
JWs seldom have any awareness of the hurt they cause people when they send that so called "poetry". At least they've begun putting it into verse and rhyme. When I told a JW "friend" that I needed to sort things out for myself regarding "the truth", she told me this:
If you turn your back on "the Truth", your three beautiful children will be better off if you take them out in the back yard and blow their heads off with a gun. That way they won't go down with you at Armageddon, and will have a resurrection in the Paradise.
That was all that I needed to make my final decision about the JWs.
I love your posts Scully, they are always thoughtful, well versed and insightful.
Thank you,
Josie
Yuk, gringojj. That dirty little poem is so far from my Christianity it makes me ill. Here's the antidote:
Matthew 25: 34-40 (NIV)
Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me,
I was sick and you looked after me,
I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Before my wife and i got married, she gave my wife this story about a jw girl who married a worldly guy. By the end of the story the girl had HIV, a baby, had been beaten by her husband, and he left her for another woman. It was before i had looked into the jws at all so i didnt know what to make of it. I wish i could find that story now it came off the internet somewhere.
Hi Mrs Gringojj,
No more studying for you I think! Well, not the JW kind of rubbish anyway. Listen to Scully! I've heard those same sentiments from JWs myself that it would be better for our whole family to die now and be guaranteed a resurrection than to carry on as non JWs.
But Happiness comes when you leave JW land. What they say is not true! They have NO love amongst themselves. They are driven by fear, fear of Armageddon and fear of eachothers criticisms and judgmentalism.
Stop studying immeadiately. Cut off all contact with them and see how much better you start to feel in due course.
You're bound to still have doubts if yu were brought up a JW. It's time to grow up and let those doubts go.
I was brought up a JW and spent nearly forty years as one.
I struggled with five children to attend their stupid meetings, field service, assemblies etc. The whole organization drove me to confused despair.
To be honest, they're totally nuts!
Let it go and find happiness with the people who love you, your husband and children. You are no longer your mother's little child for you to have to please her. Move on. Grow up. Take responsibility for yourself and your own. You do not need a crazy cult in your life.
Life is so wonderful out of the JWs. I can't begin to tell you how happy we have been since leaving them. I laugh at myself that I ever believed anything they said, no I know the truth about the truth.
Good luck with your baby! Wow you are so going to have your hands full, I know!
At one point I had four under six years old. That's enough to be going on with. No more studying and no more JW meetings. Infact say goodbye and be done with them.
All my husbands family and my family are JWs and we still moved on and found real happiness in freedom from the WTBTS. We grew up! It's wonderful. Do it too, if not for your own sake but your husbands and childrens.
They're right about NOTHING. Let go the fear! That's all it is, is fear.
Good luck to you.

Scully, you are so right on!!!!! That is exactly how my husband was treated, as he studied, oh he was everyone's friend....when the day of his baptism arrived, not even the brother who studied with him was present. They were too busy trying to find their next recruit.....he was dropped like a hot potato. I'm really disgusted by that "poem", and the horrible things that were said to you about your children being better off if you took them to the backyard and shot them....WHO died and made them GOD???? That they can say these horrible things to people??? Mrs. Gringojj, RUN, RUN, RUN, and NEVER look back. And never let these people into your home again. They are NOT a loving people....best wishes with your newest addition.

I found the poem I was looking for, right here on JWD!!!! >>>To my fellow friends.........This is a reminder for all of us. This can also be applied to brothers. No matter what we go through as single christians. Breaking Jah's law isn't worth it. "He Doesn't Serve God." I'd like to tell you a story, about true love at last. It's very informative and has an interesting cast. So pay close attention, it's sad but true, And don't ever think this can't happen to you. I met him during lunch break on a sunny day, He sat next to me and smiled, as I was about to pray. We talked on and on. He was such a gentleman. I wished that this moment would never end. Ah, but then it came to be the end of my lunch hour. I tell you when he stood up, he looked just like a tower! We met again and again. Our souls began to cling. I pondered in my mind, "Is this the REAL thing?" He doesn't smoke or drink, or gamble away his money. He doesn't 't do drugs or things like that and he's nobody's "honey". Let's face it, he's fine and he's really got a great "body". The only thing that's missing is he doesn't serve God. I'll just give him a chance, he'll change in time. I won't mind being "his", if he'd like to be "mine". My friends tried to warn me. I didn't listen or care. Little did I know my life would be one of despair. The wedding was fine. The judge married us in the fall. You see, I couldn't have a wedding in a Kingdom Hall. My dad, said no, he wouldn't give me away. With the pain in his heart, he didn't have much to say. Mom, listen to me, please don't cry and whine. Don't worry about us, we'll be just fine. I've got a good man and he has a good job. The only thing is, he doesn't serve God. Everything is going fine, but recently at night, when it's time for the meeting, we just fuss and fight. He says, "Who's this God, breaking us apart? Don't go tonight dear, please follow your heart." So I listen and stay, to keep peace at home. But now oftentimes, I feel so all-alone. I don't associate with the friends much at all, To keep peace at home, I don't go to the Hall. Service and Meetings, all that's history. Today, I decorated my first Holiday Tree. The holiday celebrations are now part of my life. You see, I must obey my husband, for I am his wife. The brothers would call. I wouldn't answer the door. I don't read the magazines. Reading is such a bore. Marrying out of the Truth, it really sets you "free". "Free" from Jehovah's love that once was in me. I just got the news! I'm having a "little one"! I can hardly wait to tell my dear "Hon". He was in a bad mood. He lost his job that day. He told me as he hit me, "That's just one more bill to pay!" Then he apologized, "I'm sorry, please forgive me Dear" You see, I've heard those words more often than I'd like to hear. I have two jobs now. I must support my household. My husband says he'll find work, but now that's getting old. I'm tired. I'm stressed. I'm feeling very strange. My schedule at both jobs, I'll have to rearrange. I should be very happy, the baby is due any day. Things just have to get better, somehow, some way. I'm married to this man, for better or for worse. The only problem is, he doesn't put Jehovah first. The baby came today, she's so little and so light. She's not crying or making noise, something's just not right. "What could be wrong?" I thought aloud as I lay in bed. In came the doctor looking sad, and then he shook his head. "Mrs. Unbeliever," he said, "there's something I must confess." You and the baby tested positive to the new HIV test. I started crying. I couldn't believe the words the doctor said. To know that in a very short time, my child and I'd be dead! Listen to me! All of you! I'm telling you to your face! To marry an Unbeliever, is a TOTAL DISGRACE,! To Jehovah, our loving father, who provides for his sheep. That's why he sets the guidelines for us to hold and keep. Wait on Jehovah. In his due time He'll set things straight. Be patient, and He'll give you a Theocratic mate. One who loves Jehovah and you know that he'll do right. One who'll be there with you when it comes to "Meeting" night. A worldly man has nothing to offer - really nothing at all But unhappiness, sadness, sorrow, and a very serious fall. (So be wise my Sisters, and please don't try to rush things. Wait patiently on Jehovah, and accept the blessings he brings. Don't look to worldly men as mates, at your job or at the Mall. REMEMBER! Brothers that serve Jehovah are at the Kingdom Hall.
Sad. And so untrue. I almost married a jw. Glad I didnt. I'm now married to a "worldly" man. Been married for over 12 years. He tells me he loves me every day. I'm his soulmate and he is my joy.

!!!!
As I've said before in other posts, staying a JW is more about superstition and fear than anything else. As with this poem, 'look what could happen to you if you don't stay a JW!'
Very sad and horrible poem. But, very JW!
