i just got a call from a friend who informed me that a brother whom i've known for a while and is an elder, just found out last night that his wife of 20+ years declared she was gay, and left him..
i still need to confirm but my friend is very reliable and was close friends with the family.
heres the thing, she spent 20+ years with this man, has children with him and now decides she wants to follow her heart.
i would be like......YES, a way out of this cult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i would be happy, and ask for a one time threesome as payback. LOL.
i would be happy for her, just like i would be happy for my kids if they were ever gay. life is too short to waste it on a cult like this.
kill me.... it's hard to put into words just how badly i do no want to sit through this 3 days of bull $hit.
i will appreciate any and all words of condolence, humorous, serious, or otherwise.
i am with you.....i just go for my wife, whom is soooooo totally blind. it's going to be similar to waterboarding torture for my sons and I.
governing body member david splane has a new video on tv.jw.org where he talks about all the horrible things committed by martin luther and the protestant reformers.. his conclusion is that there has been no faithful and discreet slave on the earth during the past 1900 years (before 1919 i guess.).
he also says that maybe there were a few anointed on earth, maybe not.. he did add an interesting statement that he doesn't condemn the other churches just for misunderstanding the bible because the society has done that.. another odd point, was that he actually mentioned catholic missionary work in a somewhat positive light, while totally condemning the reformation views on predestination..
Man, it's just fictional writing in an ever changing cult that is loosing grasp of it's followers.

i really don't like this fiction, i would rather read lord of the rings, or maybe even eragon.
i just can't believe anyone would actually believe this drivel. LOL....
good thing my wife has no idea what they teach, but she believes in it.....not sure what part of IT.
there are a lot of people on this site and others who even though they don't believe anymore still fill the seats at the meetings.. i was just wondering, if they all decided to leave at the same time, how many do you think would leave?
would the numbers drop dramatically?
i would love to see that..

Awesome girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this needs to somehow make it's way to 20/20 or a national syndication.
i hate this cult, it will be the ruin of my family if my wife doesn't wake up. and right now i don't see that happening.
quote from the watchtower, simplified edition, september 2015, "how can we show that we love jehovah?".
higher education often makes them lose their love for god..
Where will the watchtowel get there money from? low income sheeple can barely afford to live, much less pay there golden calf.
what a cult....I JUST WISH THEY WOULD GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i know this will have already been covered on the forums but ... upon visiting a jw relative in hospital, they requested i brought their bible in (the gideons bible supplied by the nhs clearly being inadequate and not supporting wt fantasy).
i dutifully went to their house and grabbed what i thought was a bible (an easy mistake to make assuming the nwt is actually a bible).
it seems i couldn't have got it more wrong, resulting in one horrified jw and one very confused (albeit gorgeous) midwich.
So which bible did you take? the black shank or the silver shank? here is the funny thing......if they see you using the black shank, they will give you a look like your an apostate.
there like wolves who turn on themselves, even my wife questioned me when i decided to use the black shank instead of the silver shank.
i was like WTF....this org produced both. there shouldn't be a diffence right. she is sooooooooo blind.
anywho, i use neither....i use the American standard bible.
it's more accurate. I hate this cult of a religion
it has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.
i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.
a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.
LOL......now that is funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the sad thing is, these people are so blinded by they dillusions. they would turn from family and cling to a golden calf.
your better off not having them in your life.
I truely hate this cult of a religion. i think it will be the ruin of my marriage eventually. like being on train tracks and not being able to get off and the inevitable happens.
stay strong brother
there is a quote in the new june episode of jw broadcasting, which says isaiah 11:6 applies to people inside the congregations now who have their personalities transformed.. in the 1980's and 1990's, when i attended meetings all the time, i always heard them say this scripture had a literal fulfillment and the animals will be at peace with one another.. here is the scripture:.
isaiah 11:6 (nwt): the wolf will reside for a while with the lamb, and with the young goat the leopard will lie down, and the calf and the lion and the fattened animal will all be together; and a little boy will lead them.. after hearing the quote, i did a search on jw.org, and i found this statement regarding that scripture:.
isaiah book 1, pages 163-165:.
the thing i hear is this, it's all a made up fantasy world. with statements like " it's reasonable" we all know that jw sheeple are not allowed to reason.
it just a different form of dungeons and dragons.
