  They really have to twist and turn in order to "Prove" the WTS teachings.

  today, whilst shopping, i ran into an old school friend of mine that i had been quite close to.

  i used to write her 'sick' notes for her, so as you can imagine, we're friends forever now.. anyway, she tells me that she is studying with jehovah's witnesses again.

  i think she expected me to be thrilled with this news.

  2 Witnesses

  i'm still technically an unbaptised publisher... i'm glad i came to my recent revelations before baptism.

  anyway, basically i was stumbled by recent events in our hall... a respected pioneer sister tried to seduce my sister-in-law's husband.

  and when that didn't work she went after another friend's husband.

  What a mess...and this is supposed to be God's organization? P.U. something doesn't smell right here. Good for you for coming to this board, I think you will find lots of information and healing here. Since you are head of the household, I would encourage your wife to join you in stepping back for awhile, any excuses you can come up with if that is how you have to handle it at first. Educate her to this board if you can, or at least print out some information since she has doubts too.

  I feel that you do want God in your life, that you do know the benefits of worshipping with others, but the WTS has done a job with your head on all that Trinity stuff, etc. I would encourage you to find a compassionate minister you can sit down with and just have a visit with. You don't have to believe in the Trinity, etc...but...find some places you can visit and feel a true spirituality.

  Good luck, I can't imagine what you must be going through.

  Are you impressed by Pope John Paul II?

  at pentecost, pope john paul ii could not speak when giving his traditional blessing.

  many people are impressed by this pope because he does not resign.

  they campare it to christ's sufferings.

  Does anyone here really know the history of Pope John Paul II? How he worked for World Peace? He was instrumental in the destruction of communism. There was a documentary on him a couple nights ago. I think it was CNN.

  He is highly respected by world leaders. He was the first Pope to visit a synagogue and have a friendship with the Jewish people; he was the first to visit the Auschwitz memorial. He is a brilliant man. An emotional man who loves children. He may not be able to communicate now, but during his working years he was a great communicator. He speaks 8 languages and knows how to use the media to spread his word on World Peace and morality. He is a respected man of integrity.

  Maybe he should have been replaced; I don't see how anyone in his apparent poor health can lead a church, but I will defend what he has done for the church and the world in general.

  My JW "ex" girlfriend is going crazy (if anyone remembers me)...

  by starcrossedpimp in

  i wrote a while ago about the relationship i was in with a witness.

  it's still posted under this category i believe.

  anyway, it was her decision to go along with her parents and stop talking to me.

  I agree w. you, she probably won't find a JW with a creative personality like yours. That means you are curious, optimistic and imaginative, among other things. Traits that are discouraged in the JW cult.

  You already have a child; I am going to tell it like it is. Focus on your job as a parent, whether you are close to the kid or not. Develop that relationship; give up on this one. Your exJW girl friend is infatuated with what she cannot have....until (unlikely) she decides to escape her parents' and the JW's control over her life.

  Stand on your feet and let her know you are a man, you are going to distance yourself unless she has decided to get out. She will only pull you down emotionally; Life is TOO short for the stress brought on by these people. Don't stifle yourself.

  How Can I Reassure Him?

  i have a friend who has been raised a jdub all his life.

  he is what you would classify as 'weak' and leading a double life.

  in fact he has admitted to me that he is gay and had some gay encounters.

  Yah, bring him on the board. Poor guy. Also, tell him the Bible says We know not the day nor the hour, doesn't it???

  and Jesus told us Do unto others, that's about all we need to know....that's why they call it The Golden Rule. Don't worry, be happy!

  where do i begin?

  i can't believe i'm even here...i am a 20 year old female and have been dating a jehovah's witness for 4 and 1/2 years.

  until recently, we've been completely and utterly devoted to each other.

  Hi and Welcome! You are not alone; there are many here who can relate to your situation. You have spent many years of your young life loving and giving to him...and all the while he has been hoping to 'change' you, right? Please email me if you feel so inclined; my daughter dated a JW and I found this board to get some help, these people are GREAT! Sometimes they are outright brutal, they have been hurt so much by this organization, they don't believe in God anymore. I urge you to find your way to a Methodist minister...ask your bf to go with you...do you think he would do that? Take care and stick around, and be strong! Life is too short to spend precious years on love that is not 100% returned to you. Believe that.
