  Had to give up college scholarships and music scholarships at age 18 to prove I love Jehovah.........

  Went thru a 20 year marriage, raised a son that wasn't mine. Had a cheating JW husband the whole 20 years.

  Wasted?

  Depends on how you look at it: sure I would love to "get a real life" but look at what I have accomplished without the scholarships:

  I raised 2 children that are now married and even though they are men, take excellent care of their wives.........

  Since exiting a religion I was raised in, I have been an "angel" to a non JW going thru a divorce ( that's the term she gave me for helping her out so much) Who else would nurture another soul when her own soul was needing nurturing after leaving a cult?

  So....look in the mirror again........................YOU are important and you can make a difference in somebody's life, which in turn makes a difference for you too!

  How is it that... (PLEASE provide input)

  by AuldSoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  during my discussion with death to the pixies i hit on something that he brushed off as irrelevant.

  in trying to make it clearer for him why the question mattered to me i stumbled across the best proof for myself that this cannot be god's organization and the bible students/jws have been being lied to from the beginning.. in 1930 over 80,000 professed anointed had no clue that they were god's sole channel of communication to mankind, even though jehovah's witnesses now teach that the anointed have been that sole channel ever since pentecost of 33 c.e.. question #1: how is it possible that god's channel of communication didn't even know they were his channel of communication?.

  question #2: if the true anointed brothers of christ have always been god's sole channel of communication to mankind since penetcost 33 c.e., why would jesus need to choose them in 1919; didn't he already know who god's channel was?.

  To elaborate on your questions in another sense is this:

  Jesus hand picked his disciples to do the "preaching work"..........his elete circle that knew him "personally".

  WE weren't hand picked. Why should we feel he picked us then, centuries later to spread HIS GOOD NEWS...? there is no scriptural proof for this?

  Jesus was 29 before he got baptized: Why do JW's insist on teenage baptism when JESUS was 29 on his baptism?

  Inquiring minds want to know?

  The list can go on: he never set the standard for 3 meetings a week either or time cards?

  Do You Ever Have Dreams About Being A JW?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i had one disconcerting dream last night.

  i was in a very large assembly hall and explosions started occuring and rather than wanting to leave everyone stayed and chatted like whatever was happening out there was not going to affect them inside.

  they were all very smug.

  Min...omg...I have had MANY recent dreams of being one.

  It freaks me out a bit. Remember I am the only one in my family of siblings that is no longer one (nor my adult kids) so they are always present in them and at the meetings or conventions and some weird scene happens.

  When you are a part of something for 35 years....it is going to be hard to shake all those years, unless we get a selective lobotomy!!! lol

  Why did the W.T. change their song book in the 80's?

  in a thread posted by "whyizit", named..."what is most important to approach a j.w.

  any current changes in w.t.?"......

  a poster named "unique 1" made this comment...also, she may want to ask her study ladies why they had to change to the new song book about 20 years ago?

  Interesting thread.........

  and Blondie is so right: many songs were too difficult to sing! (average persons could not sing a lot of them)

  2. experiences

  two weeks ago my wife had a miscarriage at 11 weeks.

  it is very sad as it was to be my first child and my wife is already 39. what hurt the most though is that none of my immediate family contacted me.

  i was d/f in january and did not expect to hear regularly from my parents and sister.

  I am so sorry to hear about your loss and for your wife as well.

  Maybe one day your family will realize that the truth(tm) isn't the truth and will be asking for your forgiveness for not showing you love during this most difficult time in your life.

  I have went thru a bit of shunning myself (not df'd or da'd) but understand how I want my JW family to still love me. I have come to terms that I need to dwell on my "real friends" that give me support and make me feel good about myself.

  Sending you and your wife much positive energy to help you cope thru your loss.

  hugs,
