  This is probably very immature of me, but

  last night my ex boyfriend finally admitted to me that he cheated on me whilst we were going out.

  we split up about 7 years ago.

  what is irking me most is that i've asked him before if he had and he totally denied it.

  Why Is Love Among Jehovah's Witnesses Now Only Third Rate?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  years ago, in the watchtower's truth book, the chapter called "how to identify the true .

  religion" offered a set of reasons for thinking that jw's had the "truth".. the very first "identifying mark " of "true religion" was stated as having "love among.

  themselves" as jesus plainly said in john 13: 35 : "by this all will know that you are my.

  Actually,love should always remain in first place.The points you make are very good,very sneaky how they subtely change things to fit their current agenda.I believe the love Jesus spoke about was true,genuine,christian love.Most witnesses don't have this real,genuine love,just a mask of it,therefore it's very to express it genuinely.

  since leaving the org.

  my view of life has changed significantly in many ways, as i'm sure is true for many of you.. i think differently about my future, fellow humans, friends, family, past time activites etc.

  including music and lyrics.

  I went sky-divin'

  I went rocky mountain climbin'

  I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu

  And I loved deeper,

  And I spoke sweeter,

  And I gave forgivness I've been denyin'

  Taken from Tim Mcgraw's "Live like you were dyin'".Everytime I hear that song I feel like I've opened up and become a better person since freeing myself of the WT shackles.

  Hey GBL,that grin was meant to be guilt-inducing to "incite to love and fine works,not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together....."

  Oh well I guess we just didn't get it.

  Found It!

  i filed away the letter that i received from an elder when my mom was disfellowshipped years ago.

  it turned up the other day, reminding me again of the high control, fear based beliefs the dubs have.

  i resisted shunning my mom -- and sadly this letter is the reason i finally began shunning her.

  Interesting letter,I'll say like you,it's a control thing and they really get off on it.I'm happy to hear you risen above that hogwash and that you're happy now.

  it's been ages since i have posted anything on the forum.

  i guess life outside the borg is busy and rewarding!.

  to get straight to the point, my daughter rang me today to tell me her boyfriend's step dad (an inactive dub for many years........1st time i'ld heard) was studying again and was moving toward going back to the borg.

  Sounds like you have a lot of info to work with,I truly hope you succeed.I wish someone had done something like this for me 10 years ago when I foolishly returned to the "truth".I now rank that as the most stupid thing I ever did.Part of the problem was that I wasn't educated enough on the WTS' history and the lies that they promote as truth.

  Anyways,good luck and please keep us posted.

  I'd love to get the book Captives of a Concept,but I'd have to do it in a way that my wife doesn't find out,which is very difficult.It seems like a very interesting book and I look forward to reading it someday.
