after not going to the meetings since august and trying to sort through this with my family, my wife today told me she wants to separate because of our differences over being a witness or not.. this is ridiculous.

so i said- how can you separate from me when the religion you whole heartedly believe says you can only separate for 3 reasons- abuse, willful non-support, or stopping her from her meeting attendance, etc.

Sorry to hear...This is something that may happen to me sooner or later. Also, just like you have shown her what the WT says about her actions I have shown my wife things from the WT that she isn't doing. If I am the one to point it out however then it is in one ear and out the other.

Will JW rape victims die at Armageddon as apostates?

by Zoos in

many jw victims flee the "truth" after elders have raped them and covered it up.

doctrines aside, there would be no reason for one of these young victims to conclude the watchtower environment is god's arrangement on earth.. does the organization acknowledge this irreparable damage or will it write these victims off as apostates, slated for death at armageddon if they choose to get the hell out?.

it depends on if they screamed or not....

January 15, 2015 watchtower 3 study articles about marriage.

by hoser in

couples having problems and getting divorced must be a problem in the jehovahs witnesses.

the articles are definately an interesting read.

they give plenty of bad advise as usual.

"To compound matters, “the last days” are characterized by selfish, ungodly attitudes that are toxic to a marriage"

I like how they link a bad marriage into further proof that the 'end is near'.

I think I am in a similar situation as you Crazyguy. She ignores and doens't remember anything I say. She won't even answer any questions I ask. Very frustrating.....

Kid charged over $500 to a game

by skeeter1 in

yesterday, i got our credit card statement, and looked at the charges.

over $500 to itunes.

questioned everyone, and it's for "jewels" for a kim kardashian game my 13 year old charged.

i give the kids an allowance to teach them about money. They can earn more by doing more. They then split it up into spending, charity, and savings. I never really thought kids should get money but it seems that very few know how it works and I want them to be included in that few. I also no longer use credit cards and have paid them all off. I hope they learn from example on that one and never get into credit card trouble.

I call dibs on "JW.cult"

by WingCommander in

it never fails.....seems like someone on here or another forum comes up with some new catchy, sarcastic word to describe something in jwdubland that is messed up or funny.

examples include: kingdumb hall, asleep!, watchtards, kingdum misery, field serve-us, booze rutherford, jdubs, etc.

the most famous of these of course would be, "ttatt", or, "the truth about the truth.".

Raton

I think I still like jw.borg, but i will use anything other than the official name as well. Also, very nice, short summary of what they really are.

From reading other threads, I think this is who you want to contact about that sort of thing (Simon).

while you are sitting there reading this, there are literally hundreds of thousands of young males and females all over the world [ mostly in america / canada and england] sitting in their grotty little smelly bedrooms or flats, designing computer viruses that they will up-load onto web-sites to cause anonymous innocent peoples computers to malfunction.

these creeps spend literally weeks,months or even years hoping to make a computer viruses that will get into peoples computer bios to completely destroy their computers.

they never see the peoples anger, frustration and distress.... the damage can cost each person about 1,000 [ $1,660.74 ] or more to replace a basic new laptop or tower.

I can't be away from this site for 2 days again. This thread is a classic.
