in the new book released at the witnesses assemblies this year , " keep yourselves in god's love " notice this bit of counsel given on possible separations in marriage .
it says on pg.
221 , " absolute endangerment of spiritual life.
I love seeing these quality thread resurfacing.

I expected my wife to leave me as soon as I had the courage to vocalize my concerns and reasons for making my EXIT.
She has assured me that we will stay together. I do nothing to stop her from attending and "Watchtower church" meetings or functions. No surprises or mysterious car problems on meeting days from me.
All I do is talk and share truth.
Sometimes she listens, although she does quickly forget.
many jws enjoy turkey on thanksgiving day and are often discreet about their indulgences.
why be two faced?
why try to excuse it?.
It's not OK to have Thanksgiving, but being a member of the UN for ten years gets a PASS?
That makes sense...
Stupid Watchtower.
besides being overworked and overstressed almost everyday in the past few months,.
i've had to deal with a 'broken heart', insecurities with my physical appearance (gained a lot of weight),.
and being lonely because i started distancing myself from the 'congregation', i just want to cry, sob, and bawl out here in my bedroom.
A DF'd relative just shared this short mantra/affirmation:
I love you
I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you

Said to who/whatever you need it to be, aloud or in your mind/heart.
Calming and refreshing.

we can't explain something - therefore god.
checkmate atheist!.
Using the WTS publications to prove wrongdoing, false prophecy and promotion of human ( GB ) worship not good enough.
New Light trumps all...
have you had the pleasure of hearing this doozy??
i believe it was presented at the circuit level first, it has filtered it's way down.. the poor eldub opens with this definition of the word fantasize:.
"to conceive fanciful or extravagant notions, ideas, suppositions, ect.
That's it!

I remember this.
It's like a slap in the face.
Thank you!
it seems like we have had quite a few new members join up over the last few months!.
has anyone else noticed this?.
i guess that most of us "lurked" here for some time before we got the courage to actually join up and start as a proper forum member?
This forum has been everything needed to convince myself with PURE evidence that I made the right choice to exit a mind control cult.
Everyday there are new threads that confirm this again and again.
So useful!
had a coversation with a very close friend (of 15 years) and understands how i feel about the wt org.
he himself is a serious doubter.
i on the other hand am not a doubter, i know with every living ounce of myself that this is a cult!
I reasoned in my mind that there would be no point to continue in service, inviting people to the meetings I wouldn't be attending.
Parting thoughts, I guess...
i'm into the 7th year of a successful fade.
when i'm at the market i still see some of my former "friends" trying to avoid eye contact.
although i'm not df'd i may as well be in their eyes.
I may have to resort to this tactic as well.
I have some relatives that are all bent out of shape, even to the point of no longer willing to visit me unless I assure them I won't be awkward.
They require me to censor myself in my own home to accomodate their twisted "consciences".
I'm getting to the point where I don't need any of them.
They want to demonize me and I won't have any of it.
