As you all know, there are sacrifices to be made whenever you are deeply involved with another person. I feel a little backed into a corner. I will definitely lose her if I dont get baptized. I wont if I do.

Ive had bad and good experiences with the JW religion before. Some in my family are still in but most are out.

I do know want anybody telling me what my family and children can/cant do. If God reads hearts, then he will know who are pure and who are not. I dont want a group telling my children they cant play little league when only God knows what is in a persons heart.

Well, I guess I have a lot to think about in the next couple of weeks.

BTW: Ive read CoC by Franz. i would like to read more books. I want to go into everything with my eyes wide open.

well i made publisher a couple of weeks ago.

i shared that story on here.

but now iam getting pressured into being baptized in september.

Buck

Thank you very much for all your answers. Some hit home very hard for me. Its true, Iam very much in love and whipped pretty good. But I dont want to turn around and have no relationship and no religion. I have no idea about a lot of my religious beliefs, but I know what my beliefs are about her.

It comes down to this: If I knew I could find someone this pure in my life again, it would probably be easy to walk away. But I dont know if it will ever happen again. Sometimes you only get one shot at the gold and if you miss, you will have to settle.

This maybe my gold?

Well i made publisher a couple of weeks ago. I shared that story on here. But now Iam getting pressured into being baptized in September. I guess if I miss the Sept date, there will not be another convention till March or May. So Iam having the full court press put on me.

Ive shared about 75% of my concerns with her and she doesnt understand why that is holding me back. All people have doubts but we have to place our trust in God. Its not God that I dont have trust in.

But Iam afraid I will cave in just like Ive done before.

What really bothers me about my JW research.

by ithinkisee in

some of you may know, but i have been on a serious journey through watchtower "theology", and by association, have gone back all through the history of christianity.

i know many on this list have gone thru the same thing.

i have checked out probably 100 archeological, religious, and history books from the library.

Buck

where did you get the information about the people dying from refusing transplants?

Where does it state (watchtower, awake, etc) that transplants were a disfellowshipping offense in the 50s 60s?

What books had the most info that countered whatever false teaching you were looking for?

Thanks

I could always use this kind of information.

Guess when there vacation falls? on the same f***ing weekend as the assembly. I would like to have some things to look for. Any interesting quotes? Any doctrinal backtracks, etc.

Thanks

My relationship has come to an end because of JW brainwashing

by MM090503 in

a few of you may remember when i came to this site back in sept. i was seeking advice about my bf who had been studying with jw.

well i hate to say it but they won.

after being together almost 2yrs we broke up.

Buck

I understand what you are going through. My gf is a dedicated JW. Iam being fashioned into exactly what she wants. A unquestioning loyalist to JW authority. Iam not sure what to do either.

Is there an authorized book? Is there a website that has really good, accurate info. Iam not looking for something that just smears the history. I just want accuracy. But also one that does not cover up any errors or changes in doctrine.

Thanks
