I agree with you beroea, but I could not wait. My family are
showing signs of slowing down and me and my wife have
talks about the organization and its questionable teachings
all the time. Its been a long time since we argued about the
wathchtower dogma. We discuss issues and I leave them for
her to think about she is her own woman her mother
stills go and most of her family is jehovah witnesses.
I don't want to play satan the watchtower may make me out
to be by arguing ,and don't want to be like the watchtower
in being a control freak.live and let live.Now if the blood issue comes up I better not see one jehovah witness put there two cents
in when it comes to my family life especally my kids.
Other then that, i'll watch them live forever on paradise on
earth all they want, since i was mislead to believe that also.

To Beroea
by Francois inhope you won't mind another little out-take from my book, quoted in answer to your previous post: .
"sectarianism is a disease of institutional religion, and dogmatism is an enslavement of the spiritual nature.
it is far better to have a religion without a church than a church without religion.

I remember reading this post before, it made me think on
how to be more balance with my family. Im an ex-dub and was
angry when I first left the borg. I read your post and
it calm me down alot as well as others who post here that help
me realize just to live my life no matter the circunstance and work
with it.my wife and kids still go to the meetings and I da'd myself
two years ago, but you know what ? we are closer now then ever
before that we as a household don't let the watchtower play apart
in our family happiness.TY for your food of thought well taken.
you live,learn and move on. -

The Debate: Do JW's Need Respect?
by Mindchild inthis thread will hopefully serve as the platform for a friendly debate about the issue of how much respect the watchtower society deserves from ex-jehovah's witnesses.
do we blast the hell out of the borg and don't let a kind word in edgewise?
do we acknowledge that they have done some things right and (shudder) even good?

We as ex jehovah witnesses should give
sincere jehovah witnesses there respect
since they are being mislead as we once were being
mislead.It isn't easy, but people gave us ex-jehovah
witnesses the respect when we were jehovah witnesses
defending the watchtower out of sincerity.How are
we any better or smarter then they are ? If we were
we would have never became one in the first place.Those who run the watchtower bible and tract society
should not at all be given respect AT ALL FROM EX JEHOVAH WITNESSES.They are the brain washing bandits who play god
so too hell with them. WE AS EX DUBS KNOW THIS TO BE THE TRUTH. -

I and my wife have become closer in fact since we stop fighting
about the jw we do talk about the UN scandal and other topics reasonably now and she seem too slack at her own pace. She don't pray or study with the kids about jehovah the pressure she get is from her mother to continue to go regularly. So there you have It learn to add no fuel to there fire there light well soon blow out on its own. ....ain't that right fred

reads some of it. she is thanking about sending the kids to the ymca after school when there older because its cheaper. I teased her this morning about not going to the assembly to get that spiritual food and that she need to read her year book about how the brothers travel miles on foot and cross rivers to get to the bookstudy. yes im an ass because I sit back and watch tyme tell on them. I don't need to argue a cult,my kids are find and my wife goes only with pressure
from her mother I call them the phony ones.I kept my family together and I learned to beat that cult mindset by not playing the devil they say i am.I've been da'd for two years now and is winning my family over. P.s my mother in law can't speak to me because im da'd an added privilage to my happiness. lol -

hi you guys,you miss the whole point all who posted except alliwanttodoislive.Its not about my family anymore and being angry, its about turning my energy to positive things about my individuality and the not too take it seriously as I use too. Remember most of us were jehovah witnesses wanting to prove a piont that went no where. I have all my anti-jehovah witness books and tapes from randy walters laying around and that's as far as I can take it with my family. Yes I do love them unconditional that's why I allow my wife her choice and allow her to take the kids im not a control freak like the wathchtower because they will grow up and choose for themselves what's best to for them as individuals. I can only live my life I don't like the watchtower and there lies but i understand not to feed anymore into there bs by not allowing my family make there choices it does not hurt me anymore because im free too set an example for my kids to be your self because everyone else is taken. I do not waste my life proving points to my jw family I just laugh at them and tease them and just living mines that's the maturity.so my circumstance is one im happy with ty very much.

and Bernard is having a feild day as an ex jw the past two years.
my wife and kids are going to the circuit assembly tommorrow and
sunday, guess what im so happy for them, because i'll be home alone and free to roam.Do I feel bitter or angry?I use too, until I thought
to myself hey let them live forever, I get upset when they miss the meetings cause I can't do my dirt. Picture that, boy oh boy my mother in law can't harass me or talk to me because i da'd myself I would like to thank the watchtower personally for that dumbass rule I took
advantage off.Meetings nights its cold I get home I don't have to go back out but my wife and kids do awe then I say bye bye try not too live forever without me. then I tease my wife about how my family who are not jw who show me unconditional love where as her fam that are jw
shows conditional love which would jesus practice you phony christian
. yes I don't argue to prove a fool wrong let them have there way.p.s. I know a jw will say oh your going to be destroyed with no hope of ressurrection. My response your going to live forever on paradise
on earth all right keep hope alive but death smiles at everyone, so smile back and let me live my life youngster.Im right till you live forever lol picture that.watch.
