  JWism retaking control of wife's family

  by The JHWH in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a situation regarding this religion has developed which i fear might have negative implications on me and wifes lives, and i'm looking for thoughts and advice in how to approach the situation.

  i'll start with some background information to enlighten the situation.. i'm a male in mid-twenties, raised secularly, married to an ex-jw woman (on paper still a jw though), who's been raised in the jw religion, although somewhat untheocratically shall i say.

  for instance her mother has 5 children with 3 different men, all non-jws, and has had many other relationships as well.

  i wouldnt worry about it. i'm sure the congregation will be overjoyed to have that family back in the fold.

  for about 1 week i would think.

  so that other thread was fun but now i need some help with something.

  cut back on everything. when the loving attention starts--just tell the individual----never more than one at a time-----that youre very stressed with money worries--and ask them for a loan to help you out. chances are they will leave you alone--or you might end up better off.

  i hope all is well.

  recently my uncle ( my mom's brother ) passed away, he was never a jw but evangelical christian all of his life, never accepting my moms teaching.

  so my mom in facebook keeps on making references to other family members when her brother comes back in the resurrection and live in the paradise ...i thought that worldly people who is not jw will not going to be resurrected .... what is the current teaching on resurrection for nonjws?...

  i remember 40 ++ years ago--when all this elders crap first started. i had reached a point--in my early 20's---when i wanted out of religion.

  so i went to the congregation servant ( yes--thats what he was called back then--)-----he was a former bethel boy and district servant or some such.

  told him i was resigning from the religion--and my reasons why. he said he was glad i told him--as he was about to put me forward as one of the elders !! so much for the holy spirit -----what a load of rubbish. i was no more elder material than an astronaut.

  priveledges an extra layer of protection

  by aintenoughwiskey in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have noticed when an elder or ms gets in serious trouble, many times it's simply a demotion.

  local example.

  well liked ms son of a prominent elder/pioneer gets caught doing the dance with no pants with his fiancee.

  Summer Convention at Twickenham now gone, UK

  by jookbeard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i believe this is the first year that the uk wont have a summer dc at this historical old rugby stadium (which is now one of the finest arenas in the uk) the costs to rent it must be astronomical these days, and it appears they are having multiple dates at the excel arena in london plus milton keynes is being used , many memories for me from a baby onwards making the yearly trip there, the dusty old stadium, the long walks to the car parks, working on the field security, getting burnt to a crisp or being poured on, binoculars !

  food tickets, meeting at the lion gates checking the talent, and on the final day drinking the local pub dry the barny arms, end of an era!

  i went to a couple of twickers in the early 60's----first with my dear old mum and we stayed in lodgings--a real dump that was. but she left me on wimbledon railway station to do trainspotting so i was a happy kid. (how blatantly stupid now i look back ) i suppose she thought the angels would look after me.

  the second i went camping in the tent city on site--with all my teenage mates. the highlight of it was getting to meet liquorice !

  just wondering?

  he denied being in subjection to the the watchtower corporation so are they still using him in their regular monthly broadcast.

  I had breakfast with 50+ JWs on Sunday

  by zimunzucz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we pulled into a hotel parking lot saturday around 6pm on the return leg of a wonderful family vacation to new england - an then fate stepped in---a man in a suit got out of a car with the rest of a picture perfect family.

  i immediately noticed all the name tags--- and my blood pressure spiked 50pts- damn!!

  i was booked in a 4 story hotel full of jws-- the only time they took off the name tags was in the swimming pool- they were so proud of themselves.. at 6:30 am the hot water went cold in the wife's shower- what do you expect on the 4th floor when a herd of jws is trying to get ready at the same time?
