They're spying me on facebook
by cookiemaster inmost of you have probably seen the apostasy trial video posted on youtube (and all over social media) recently.
well, there's a "wordly" woman from another country that i had worked with some time ago and she's posted it, tagged me, and asked "wtf?
", knowing i'm a still a jw just for family reasons.

"Your bad attitude is evident, because you don't bring a meeting bag to the meetings anymore!"
by stuckinarut2 inyes friends.....this is the comment said to me by an elder!.
"your bad attitude is evident because you don't bring your meeting bag anymore!".
i calmly replied: "but everything i need is on the tablet now......".

sowhatnow
wow, what area are you from? here where i live, the cong my mom goes to is all about the tablets, she barely carries a book bag anymore she was asking me where she can get a little purse to hold her tablet! years ago when i was still going out in sqirmish, I carried my purse, in it i put three magazines a few tracts and my bible in my hand and not a single person ever said a word to me.[
of course it was a 'fruitful' day if one person was home and took a magazine]
so these people who are making comments about book bags must be old , lol and clueless to the fact that people are not impressed by the amount of junk that someone carries around and cant use.
rules & regulations If I was there and heard that aid to you, lol, Id have certainly voiced my opinion, using scriptures, lol. and that would have been the end of it. [i know from experience how to end something]
all in agreement? worldwide harmony amongst the jws? I think not.
gosh what next.

Huge Shift in Doctrine?
by Lemonp ini am not sure why more people aren't talking about this?.
the march 15 study edition of the wt has some major changes!
- all unbiblical "types and antitypes" are now dropped.

well if you saw the same thing I did, they contradict themselves in one those very study lessons, by once again trying to explain what something represents, right after they tell you not to do that, lol! the questions from the readers is clearly not from a reader, and is not at all clear. I sat at teh table at my mothers house and read several paragraphs to her and tried to get her to grasp what they were doing. she still didn't get it. oh well.

of course, and then they needed to alter all the other scriptures to fit that idea. its amazing the scriptures they changes claiming they mean the same thing. thanks for the list of scriptures too. -

How many here gave up having a family for the sake of the "truth"?
by stuckinarut2 inthis is a sensitive topic for many of us i know, but i am wondering how many here actually gave up the idea of having a family "in this system" for the sake of "kingdom activity or service"??.
start the count here with my wife and i.

can an unhappy married woman vent?
by sowhatnow ini continue to be saddened by the fact that i am married to such a selfish man.. i want to know if i am the only wife who has no say when it comes to using the house she lives in for activities including other people.. .
let me explain.. yesterday my daugher who is 35 got a new puppy for my grandaughter who is 13. today my daughter and son in law are going to help my uncle at a job, and my granddaughter wanted to spend the day here, my daugher said shed bring her and the puppy over, i laughed and said 'your dad wont have that, ill have to go to your house'.. after all it will 'upset' the 2 cats they will hide all day [like they do anytime someone including my grandchild is in my home] .. i already knew that he would not like it if she brought the puppy over, [weve had dogs so its not like he hates them].
he doesnt care if his grandaughter would have enjoyed playing with the puppy over grandmas house, where she likes to be for a change, and that fact that id like to see what my cats would do when they saw a dog for the first time in thier lives.. maybe id have liked to play with the puppy .. when i said to my husband that my daughter said she wanted tp bring them over he said.

hey its my update. I left and moved into a place of my own. i packed up my car, left the house and never went back.
I like my new place, its only two miles from where I lived. i really miss my cats though.
within two weeks, my soon to be x husband [ I filed] ] had taken everything he did not want that i left there for him to use, and gave it to my daughter to give to me. i hear hes rearranged the whole house.
the small amount of alimony isn't going to cut it. barely pays my rent.
. now I have to find suitable work. and where i love its all healthcare and retail.
I have no ged or diploma, never got one i got married.
I figured back then, like all of us did, hey God will take care of me. and things were fine for a little while. i never was in need in a material way.
and if i wanted to stay in an unloving marriage sleeping alone wasting hours pulling weeds and cooking dinners for a man who spent zero time with me, and got drunk every weekend, while i stayed out of the house till he fell asleep, then things would still be great. I would be getting a brand new car in 3 years. whoopdi do, heres your reward for sleeping alone being alone going everywhere alone, and slaving for a selfish person
a brand new car ! ugg. thats how some men show appreciation, with things. things are great but I want a husband who loves me, and shows it physically. being present with me! at the family picnic, at the weddings at the school orchestra concerts. at the ball game. doesn't every woman?
well, wish me luck, as a jw all my adult life, stay at home mom, and married from age 19, I have zero work place skills, and not the energy or funds to start all over. all I can apply for is cleaning type jobs, and with my back the way it is going I have to be very careful what i do. I worked cleaning for 5 hours the other day, and im still recuperating. my neck is killing me. Im 52 yrs old, Im not able to pull of an 8 hour shift anywhere.
I need to share my life with someone. so i got on a dating site. went on one date, i had to tell him so and he was pretty disappointed. he really liked me. but being a jw all my life i have no desire to be with a smoker, and he told me he did not, but he did. he was 7 years older too that sort of was not too great.
then id get messages, and id reply why i felt they did not meet my needs, a couple sore losers replied with berating comments
like, 'oh you have no education all you were was a 'lazy' housewife, living off a mans money,
your lucky to have been married that long'
bla bla. they have no idea how hard i worked or how my husband was. do i need that aggravation?
wow, girls, lets get that one and show him a thing or two. hes an a@@ . he things a clean house is easy?
so all men think that if you don't have a degree, and a big income, your worthless? whats this mentality that will not go away on this planet? I am by no means lazy or stupid. degree ged or not. im not 15.hmm i thought having someone with you was a good thing.
So, How the hell are we supposed to meet people when we work alone?
I have cleaning jobs. no one is around. all the better dating sites want you to be legally divorced before you go on them. well its going to take 4 months before the paperwork gets mailed out, pa makes you wait 91 days before you file the second papers. so i cant even date? it takes a while to find someone special, im supposed to wait again? really?
grr.

Why a JC if the adulterous mate is forgiven?
by snugglebunny insupposing a man's wife has had an affair, confessed all and genuinely regrets what's happened.
the husband, after much soul searching and agonising, realises how much he still loves her and how much both of them want to rebuild their shattered relationship.. why should that woman then have to sit in front of a judicial men-only committee and give a blow-by-blow account of her affair?.
how would that make her husband feel, knowing that his wife is sharing intensely private stuff about her affair with several other guys?.

as a wife who was cheated on by a x jw, and then forgave, [fool i was , so i left him again]
Id find it to be no ones business. and if it were me , id in no way go tell anyone my affairs.
I strongly feel if a jw woman cheats on a non jw husband, and he forgives her, its no ones business but the husbands, he is her head [according to jw rules] and regardless of his religious standing, he has the right to tell her not to go to the elders,and he also has authority over the elders for his own family.
its a family matter, not an offense against someone in the congregation,
[ i m sure there were not two witnesses, lol]
and it does not need at all to be made public.
the prying into peoples personal affairs, is not biblical. only when a person foolishly allows themselves to come under the regulations of the elders is when there will be additional problems.
no matter what anyone says, if someone gets DF , they never ever have the stain of the 'sin' erased from the minds of everyone else. twenty years later someone will remember that one thing they did wrong, and not the multiple things they did right.
think about it,
If you don't tell, who will know?
