i've tried and i've tried now i need help, how do you answer:.

jws who think it's fantastic that jeh is providing this new light all the time, i say about the rev book amongst other things and they just think it's a sign they are in the right religon coz '''what other religon would admit it's faults?

'' doesnt matter they been studing wrong light last time!!.

Cordelia

avid, that is a good piont the bible has been finished for years so how can they're be new light?

as for thE apostles well the arguement ive heard so much is they got things wrong but had noone to go away to!! so if the apostles got things wrong then why cant the society! ive repleid to that by saying it wasnt jesus that got things wrong the society is acting as jehs mouthpiece, they say its not, anyone got any proof it did?

also even the transplants, blood etc i said about that and said how people died for what men wrote in the wt and then changed and the answer to that is they've not died for no reason jeh will ressurect them they died for a principle!

YES A PRINCIPLE BY WHO!

but seriously when you all hear the jws never wavering devotion to the society do you never doubt that maybe they are wrong sometimes but fundemently right?

i dont think this i hasten to add! but it does worry me when close members of my family believe it so much, (even after listening to my arguements!)

and the un thing qhen you get to the nitty gritty, ie, how the hell could any gov body sign it when it supporting un charters etc they say 'lets look at the whole picture they are imperfect men and no other religon fits the identifying marks of the true religon!!

how do you answer that esp when a part of you is scared they have a point????? well not a piont but a 'what if it could be right tiny feeling!!!'

Annual visits to DF'd ones

by JK666 in

i have been disfellowshipped since 2001. does the society still recommend that elders make annual visits to encourage people to come back?

just wondering, as i never have received one.

i do not want to go back, just wondering if this is just another lie about their fake compassion and love.

Cordelia

this is what makes me mad!!! my lovely dad and other lovely elders he knows faithfully visit as per societys requirements, (because yes, elders are meant to visit dfed ones that may want to return)

and yet in the two years ive been out noone has ever seen me and even when i put my letter in they take 4 weeks to get back!!!

tho to be honest i really woul.dnt want them to, hey lets be glad every elder just does whatever they want and most just cant be bothered

MY SON WAS ATTACKED!

by Dansk in

yesterday afternoon my older son, karl, who is studying musical production at brighton university, came round to see his family.

he had just been to see his pregnant girlfriend, who is staying with her mum and dad for a week.. karl is a wonderful boy; the type of son any parent would be proud of.

he is loving, considerate, respectful and has never once caused any trouble or been in any.

Dating an Ex-JW

by dyone in

i am dating someone who recently left the jw religion.

i am not a jw, nor do i align myself with any specific religious organization.. intellectually, it was very difficult for me to accept that he could be absorbed into what i believe is one of the strongest cults of our society, but in time i realized just how easy it was to be absolved in something that you are forced into out of fear.. he's at a point right now where he is reading/researching various literature and discussing his experiences openly *such as boards as these* and i encourage such discussions.

he does not see himself ever returning to the religion and is even willing to face that he may be shunned from his own family as a result.. here is where i am "stuck".

Cordelia

if he is willing to give up HIS OWN faimily to be with you then i think it is wrong of you to consider not supporting him just because HIS FAMILY may not accept you,

I know its properbly hard for you to understand it all, but from my experience being on the other side of a situation like urs the thing that matters is your love fo each other it is him that is losing everything not you, surely you would support him!

Its Over

by diamondblue1974 in

there are some of you that know this already but for those that dont and that are interested to know i decided a few weeks ago to end what was a relatively short relationship with and marriage to, elaine.

i dont take these decisions lightly and the last few months have silently been hell whilst i try to get a grip on my thoughts and feelings and the decisions ahead; when two people are simply too fundamentally different and do not provide for each other in the way that they should, in my view not a lot can be done and this is the situation i found and find myself in.. i know a few of you might have met elaine and for those that have i dont wish for you to think any ill of her.

i dont apportion any real blame other than on us both for the breakdown; shes still the same person you met and has some fantastic qualities.

Cordelia

hey forget fishing and feeling sad you should go to london

my dirvorce came thru yesterday, (we're all at it aren't we??)

seriously thou here if you need me x
