i want to spare you a long post about my background.

because this topic is about something else.a small information is that i knew ttatt before i got married.

but then i somehow pushed it back for quite some time because i didnt want to change my life and it was convenient to instantly meet new people when you move into a new city.couple of years into my marriage and seeing all the changes in the jw my thirst for ttatt resurfaced.

What does a it matter if he's an atheist, agnostic, theist or anything else for that matter Perry?

I think that blaming you for her loss of faith is unreasonable. If she didn't feel that there was any substance to the claims of ttatt then she would have continued being a JW regardless. It seems to me that it's an excuse to cut loose and do as she pleases.

I'm sorry for the situation you find yourself in and hope you can move forward positively from here!

Today's Study - Shun Disfellowshipped Family, Don't Marry Outsiders, Tell On Others!

by Divergent in

urghhh... what a disgusting study!7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.

for example, a sister named anne received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.

the mother wanted to visit anne because she felt pained by her isolation from the family.

That last paragraph is actually another example of how they're starting to go after faders who no longer believe their bullshit.

In a recent thread about the upcoming RC it was pointed out that one talk in particular may well put this forward more forcefully.

What do Muslims Really Think - UK Documentary

by cofty in

channel 4 have commissioned a study into attitudes among british muslims.. the documentary starts in an hour from now at 10pm.

if you watch it live or on 4od please share your thoughts.. unlike many other surveys of muslim opinion, which have predominantly been done by phone or online, icm used face-to-face, in-home research to question a representative sample of 1,000 muslims across great britain.

icm also used a “control sample” to compare what british muslims thought with the rest of the british population.. at the top-line level, the survey suggests that a mainstream british muslim majority have similar values and attitudes to the wider british public on issues such as support for british institutions and a feeling of belonging to britain.. but looking deeper into the results, a chasm develops between those muslims surveyed and the wider population on attitudes to liberal values on issues such as gender equality, homosexuality and issues relating to freedom of expression.

I will take a gander later, however there's a good article on this in the Guardian that's worth a read before watching me thinks.

jws deny shunning, yet lie to not look bad

by Ghiagirl in

i recently decided to take matters into my own hands with my husbands family who have nothing to do with us.

his mom has seen my son twice since he has been born and his dad has never met him.

his family will pop in every few months, on top of that like in my last post ask for for money.

As a father of two and having exited the cult a couple years ago I say cut them loose. Life's short God dammit.

My wife and I have made it perfectly clear to my mother that if she decided to shun us if we ever got dfd that she'd be the one losing out, as shed be the one to cut her relationship with her grandchildren.

You don't deserve to be treated this way oh and I would tell your husbands ex to royally F@#k off!

Live your lives and be as happy as can be!

KH construction

by truth doubter in

is it a fact that all kh construction earth wide has stopped?

My old congregation was supposed to be getting a new hall to share with another congregation 10 miles away. This was at least 6 years ago. The other hall was worth a lot more and has been sold for a couple years now, so they're left sharing our old one.

Still no sign of the new one being built anytime soon!
