Yes, As a Matter of Fact I Did Destroy Your Family

.

and..... there is not a damn thing you can do about it because freedom of religion is guaranteed in the constitution.

suck it up buttercup.. - would make a nice billboard.

stan livedeath: I am so sorry for the turmoil the WT caused in your family. It's downright shameful how people will allow religious leaders to dictate how they must treat relatives who dare to want to leave the JWs. I would be mortally embarrassed for anyone to know I'd never met my grandchildren or spoken to my adult children for years. Especially over something so stupid and ridiculous as a difference in religious beliefs.

i'm open about it--most of my friends and non-jw family know the score. And my d/f son's extended family know about his.

He has 2 teenage kids from his first JW wife--i met them once--13 years ago. They didnt know who i was. He has pretty well lost contact with them now--after spending over 40 grand over the years in legal fees trying to keep contact with them

well--now lets see.

i cut any remaining contact with the cult in 1981. within 5 years my growing kids cut all contact with me.

the youngest--son--now age 42--ive not seen since. i dont know anything about him--but i think he has a family of his own--which ive never met..dont know their names etc.

the oldest--my daughter---now 49--i did speak to face to face 5 years ago--to implore her to visit her grand-dad ( my father )--a faithful dub till he died the following year. she never did--i presume she shunned him because i was in close contact with him --i was all he had. ( she lived less than a mile away from him.) She has 4 daughters--ive never met any of them.

the middle one--my older son--now 44 was d/fd about 10 years back. we have a good-close--normal father and son relationship. however his own mother ( my first wife ) shuns him totally--no contact at all. shes never met his 5 year old boy--her grandchild. theres another on the way soon.

this is entirely the fault of the watchtower shunning policy--exacerbated by the control freaks that blindly follow its rules.

Baptism during Covid - pool must tough the ground?

by jwfacts in

the july 2020 announcements mentions that baptism can be held in an “inflatable pool” as long as it touches the ground.

the pool must not be “on a terrace, flat roof, balcony, etc.”.

has anyone ever noticed that as a requirement?.

stan livedeath

i'm surprised the watchtower ever approved of baptisms in a plastic pool. i would have thought they would follow the bible more closely.

I don't get it - Marriage in WT world

by menrov in

in wt world, a marriage is only seen (considered) as legal if it is registered in the municipality (or similar governmental organisation).

now, if you look at the scriptures, there was no requirement to have a marriage legally registered in order to be considered married.

is it not strange that the wt subjects themselves to and adopts an worldly arrangement setup but governments rules by satan when it comes to a marital status?.

DIO--yes--dad had to be very careful with proceedings--and record keeping--just in case the marriage went sour. think what could happen if it transpired a couple were never legally married after all.

i remember one wedding farce--back in the late 60's.

it was common back then for young dubs to marry in their teens--i was 20. my bride was 19.

a year or so later--an even younger couple got hitched..well--almost. they had hired a hall--organised a reception..new suit--bridegown for her--ring--the lot...well--not quite.

the talk got underway--we were guests--about 100 in attendance. the congregation servant did the talk. i cant recall the exact sequence of events--but it was realised there was no authorised person present, to officiate. it transpired they hadnt given the required legal notice ( the banns )..so the whole thing ground to a halt.

the reception still went ahead--but the couple went back to their respective parents homes that night.

they got a special licence and got married the following week.

my old jw dad was an authorised person--which meant he used to attend jw weddings in the Birmingham UK area to do the form filling at weddings. this was in the time frame early 70's to mid 80's. he kept records for years in a strongbox.

he told me of one ceremony where the elder conducting was departing from the formal words the couple had to repeat; he had to interrupt and insist the elder used the correct words in the correct sequence. the elder was not a happy bunny.
