  i haven’t been on here in awhile and this is my second user name because i was busted by my pimi wife on the first one.

  i have been basically awake since 2013. i have a super dub wife that i love and don’t want to lose and my sick mom in the hall that is a true believer.

  stupid religion has gotten between my wife and i (of course).

  I agree....step down. If your wife see's it, this will make it easy. Look at all the free time that you will have not being an Elder. You can spend more time "working" on your wife. Move slow, so as to not scare her. It takes time. These Elders are clowns who need some sort of authority in life. Let them enjoy the cult that they are a part of. If they want to do all the work in the Congregation, let them. You will be freed up. lol Plus, you won't have to play their petty little games anymore.

  Keep us posted.

  Ours are not outright shunning us YET. They keep their distance and seem to dodge us. Only family emergencies or invites to any WT event (you know...."spiritual" things). lol

  We have a few "friends" doing the same thing, It's like you have horns and a pitch fork!

  As far as we are concerned they can take a hike. Who needs em! Life is to short and we gotta go live it. Good riddance to em!

  latest WT, advice for Bible Studies

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  our goal is to help our bible student to grow spiritually.. .

  as his love for jehovah grows, however, he will likely begin to think about how he can help others, including those who are already part of the congregation.

  elders wont pray for someone?

  by AuntBee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a former member said that elders told a relative of his after she was dfed that they would not be praying for her.

  is that some kind of policy, or were they just doing their own thing in that instance?

  taot.

  Thank you Blondie. It just does surprise me anymore what we used to be a part of. The judgement and coldness of this cult is just staggering.

  Unique JW Phrases 101

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what unique to jws phrases do you remember?

  something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.

  there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.

  "exemplary ones" Ass kissers that tick all the JW boxes. As long as they look good on the outside, who cares what's on the inside. I'm thinking, "whitewashed graves full of dead mens bones."

  "kingdom interests" It's okay for a good JW to go off to college, as long as he is doing it for "kingdom interests." This has actually been said to me. In other words, he or she can go off to college as long as it can benefit WT ($$$$$).

  November 2019 Watchtower (Would love to hear the comments in the hall)

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from the november 2019 watchtower study edition.. how many of you would like to know what the brothers and sisters would respond to this question.

  also, if you went into a hall how would you like to respond to the question.. 8. how should we respond to lies?.

  8 satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.

  “You know how I know that they're finished out there? The carts.”

  by Athanasius in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower's many legal problems and the jws' use of carts in their preaching work, reminded me of a scene and dialog from the film patton.. in a scene where patton is viewing a battle site the morning after, he says to an aide about the nazis: “you know how i know that they're finished out there?

  in my dreams i saw the carts.

  they kept buzzing around in my head and i couldn't figure out why.

  "If they relax shunning, apostasy will escalate massively."

  Exactly!

  If they get rid of the prohibition on blood, there will also be a mass exit and tons of law suits. WT knows this and this is why those 2 practices are still full on.
