Thank you to everyone for all of the help - wonderful tips and info and links - I can't thank you enough.

Though my husband was asking questions and wanting me to show him things, it feels like 1 step forward and 2 steps back --- ever since our conversation he has been very distance and hardly speaking to me at all. I have not been pushing the matter - this is how he becomes when he is upset about something, not necesarrily mad at me but just upset in general. And soon he will let me know what he has been thinking...I am still gathering information but I know this will be very hard for him as it has been all he knows for his life and a large number of his family are active jw's. Many decisions in his life were made based on the religion, so I can only imagine the emotional turmoil one would face...it is so sad.

Don't you hate it when they just comment from the paragraph?

by toto555 in

isn't that just annoying?

can people even comment in their own words anymore?

how bad is it where you're at?

HeyThere

it is mildly entertaining how people crowd around after the meeting is over "i loved your comment" " your comment was wonderful!" when all i did was read a line from the dang book....lol.

Strike 3 for the elderette and me! (???) I never heard a JW talk SO much about Jesus!

by Faithful Witness in

miss 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?

HeyThere

you did awesome...and thank you for sharing you have given me some nuggets to use in my sitch, too!

thank you so much i have already started printing stuff out he caught me by surprise askimg about it. earlier i had memtioned the donation arramgement. i wasnt there when the letter was read, but i asked him about it. i had already given him a heads up before ot was read, and told him that i was going to see if the info i found about jws was legit if this letter was read. so yes, letter was read, he didnt quite understand it so i explained it to him. end of convo. so tonight, he said that he will seriously start thinking about all this if they pass out anything askimg about a monthly pledge. then he asked about 1914 and the gb being Jehovahs mouthpiece on earth....i also told him tonigjt that i take dedicating my life to God very seriously amd wamt to make sure the religion i choose is not claiming false things.

oh...we also got into a debate about beards....he mentioned he misses his goatee but is self sacrificing to please jehovah...even our 12 year old jumped in like what??? why would jehovah care about a beard???? funny thing, we were doing family wt study and were on the page with the pic of the apostles and their.....BEARDS!!!!! we had a little fun with that one!

Just Read Silentlamb.com For the First Time

i am feeling so emotional right now.

crazy doctrines aside, these child abuse cover-ups are horrendous.

add them together and i feel like there is a churning black hole sucking the souls out of these children.. now, i realize there are boys who were abused as well, but i get this overwhelming feeling that girls/women are simply not valued and/or taken seriously or accused of being liars or demonic or, even worse, viewed as a harlot, whore, or temptress in the majority of situations, no matter the age or the brutality of the rape.

" Jehovah Witnessism......the only religion where putting a paper cut finger in your mouth subjects you to eternal damnation. What a friggin cult."

Another Gem from the Golden Pen of the Faithful Slave

by Slidin Fast in

look at this pile of steaming horse sh*t. this is meant to soften the horror of this god of war destroying 7,000,000,000 men, women and children in a holy jihad.

draw close book p 65 .

19 consider an illustration: suppose that a mans family was being attacked by a vicious animal and that the man jumped into the fray and killed the violent beast.

Oh my...I totally have not been keeping up with the reading. I am not surprised though, this religion is nutz.
