  these 2 options are before me right now-.

  1. write a letter to the elders and my family, not da myself but basically saying i have too much going on in my life and am confused, so that they will stop bothering my wife and stop asking me questions all the time.

  after i write the letter continue to go to the hall less and less.... 2. appease my wife.

  If you don't like being a Jehovah's Witness then leave....

  by Quirky1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you don't like being a jehovah's witness or going to the kingdom hall or the society then leave.... it's as simple as that... .

  i left several years ago and have not been hounded, bothered or sought out by anyone.

  i still see them from time to time, and yes, they do pour out the love bomb when you run into them, but eh, you know what?

  Roll call of those of us stuck in for our spouse or whos spouse is still in!

  by BU2B in

  2. friends

  i just wanted to get a feel for how many here have awakened to ttatt but are still carrying on some jw activities to pacify them and keep the peace.

  also trying to hear from those who have left, but whose spouse has stayed in the wt and in the marriage.. for me it comes down to my own mental anguish.

  i am mentally tortured by attending the meetings, yet i feel compelled to because my wife would kill me with her personality if i had her drag 2 small girls by herself there.

  Elders answer questions about the changes of the blood ban

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  some days ago two elders visited my sister because she has not been attending the meetings more than one year.

  this time she prepared notes containing watchtower past teachings about the blood ban so as to ask them for those changes, and it seems that the elders were also prepared for her past questions.

  for instance she showed them that "albumin" was considered "under scriptural ban" in 1956 (read the page 20 of awake, september 8).

  How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

  as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

  surely education should come first.
