pimo , as i said i`m going out on a limb here and i might upset some people ,but i really don`t think this is a real strategy that works and doesn`t help the person who is still in.. while you may be doing this to keep the peace in the household and keep relations somewhat stable in the family arrangement ,it`s not helping the person who is still under the control of wt/gb to break free from it ,and isn`t that what you would really like to happen ?.
and are their children involved as well ?
that`s another issue ,the longer they are subject to this control the harder it will be for them to disengage get free.. maybe you should re-evaluate what you could do more to help your partner / spouse or whatever to free themselves from this bondage they have involved themselves in.. [ of course their may be others who are quite happy to have their partners/mates under the control of the wt/gb.
i was PIMO many years before it was invented.
But not leading a double life thing..going to meetings going door knocking etc to keep up a pretense. Nope--i resigned--bam--just like that. DO not call me brother anymore--its Mr from now on.
But i did occasionally attend a meeting--to appease my wife..but everyone knew i was not a JW any more--
i cannot understand how some can live a lie.
so much for angels all being male. They dont look male to me.
do jw's still believe that babylon the great is the empire of false religion?
inquiring minds want to know .
estephan.
this "false " religion notion puzzles me.
There is only one god--isnt there ?
All religions worship god..so why are they "false"
Or is it a case of a business masquerading as a religion being the false one ?
bible questions answered.
who were the nephilim?.
the bible account says that “the sons of the true god began to notice that the daughters of men were beautiful.” (genesis 6:2) those ‘sons of god’ were actually spirit creatures who rebelled against god when they “forsook their own proper dwelling place” in heaven, materialized human bodies, and “began taking as wives all whom they chose.”—jude 6; genesis 6:2.. the hybrids born from this unnatural union were no ordinary children.
i lost any interest i may have had in the bible when i got to the talking snake.
here's my list of jw no-no's as i recall: .
1. no giving or accepting valentine candy for students.
2. no going to home coming football games.
no one has listed the various sex donts - ok, right ... I think I've covered most of the bases here.
you missed out choking the chicken

hello, folks: about a month ago, stan livedeath started a post about.
how many of the readers here on the site have been or are now being shunned by friends/relatives?
well, let's turn that around a little bit: how many of the readers here have purposely shunned a witness, when they encountered them?
i cant remember the last time i saw someone who was a dub when i was still in it. I know lots have died. If i did bump in to one i would say hello--why not--if they blank me--they've lost.
does anyone ever wonder the good they could have done instead of giving a public talk for 45 or 30 minutes?
i remember giving my first public talk aged 18 and even then i was thinking ' this is just me making up half truths trying to blind people with jw propaganda'.
fast forward 15 years to when i gave my final public talk and i was so close to seeding the 30 minutes with ideas that could possibly wake people up but i never had the guts.. in that 30 minutes i could have done so much real good for a person instead of spreading this awful religions dogma.
when i used to do public talks--an hour log jobs--no script just a theme.
The habit then was to ask a member of the audience to read out loud a bible verse. I used to pick anyone nodding off to sleep.
Ive often wondered if i had given a 30 minutes talk--then smoothly repeated it all for the next 30 mins--would anyone have noticed ?
i recently married my best friend of 32 years.
she is a life-long jw and once an active pioneer, i am a 'worldly' person through-and-through, always will be.
we married because it was the only way we could find a way of staying together while giving her a path back to her religion ultimately, which she does not want to (or cannot) let go of.
well--they cant disfellowship YOU--can they. So YOU do the answers.
But--dont worry--they wont go ahead with it if youre there. You would be the wrong kind of witness!
Are you in Croatia by any chance ?
