UPDATE: Wife Pretty Much Knows That I Don't Believe

by JW_Rogue in

we had a nice long talk and i brought up some things that make me think that this isn't the "truth" and she somewhat agreed with me.

i stuck with things i personally experienced or had knowledge of plus all the changes in recent years.

she agreed on a lot of the points but still believes in god and the bible.

carla

I am so thrilled for you! enjoy your new found freedom!!!!!!!!! lucky you.

The Wwatchtower turning into a real laughing Stock

jw

over the years watchtower has turned into a real joke in the world scene.

with the lawsuits, downsizing and decreasing numbers.

what they use to be is gone and they will never recover the numbers they once had.

Instead, ask any jw relative why their jw is so weird and the answers are just too many to even start!

I remember when mine first joined up and we went to a party where nobody knew, my jw was just plain weird at the whole event! people asking me what was wrong with him? was he angry? something terminal? what? he was just a damn weirdo at the whole thing. sigh, lost a bunch of real friends due to my own embarrassment at the whole situation. How do you explain in a few short sentences what a cult is and why your beloved might have joined one?

"Ask any JW why they are weird and they will have a ready answer on why they aren't."- too hilarious!

Whatever Happened To The Flu?

by minimus in

jw
friends

has the flu vanished?

has it been replaced by covid?

no one is talking about making sure you get you flu shots.

carla

My jw thinks the flu disappeared because we all have to wear masks like the Japanese people do

My son's observation: Mom wants to believe, But really doesn't that's why she can't defend her religion

by goingthruthemotions in

my wife has been off the rails lately.

she is not really a loving mom or wife.

she is upset that me and the boys don't believe the same crap as her.

"Who wants to be on the defensive in their own home? That can't be much fun"- so true, that is why at some point it may be best to agree to disagree and leave the whole matter to each individual in the home. Allow the home to be a neutral place for all concerned. No preaching and no apostate stuff either. That means no wt litter-ature around and no C of C books or the like either.

Let the home be a sanctuary and safe haven for the family as a whole. Usually it is the jw who will not let things be but from personal experience it is much more peaceful if all the wt/apostate stuff is left out of the mix.

It is nearly impossible to compete with the carrot of 'paradise earth' and their delusion of life after the big A.

I wish I could reach my jw with questions as suggested. God knows many people, including myself, have tried all to no avail, some jw's must come to their own conclusions and others are not ready to give up the ready made 'friends' even though they know there are more problems than answers in jw -dom.

Glad your kids see the truth about the truth. Sad that their mother has given them (and you) second class status in her life. It hurts, I know. Wishing you well.

Why use a Bible with a cross on it? Just shows how little research the "journalist" actually did.

walked away from the trooth years ago(over 20) my older sister sends me an invite to the memorial via zoom.

i have no interest in jwism at all.

should i ignore or respond?.

carla

Well, seeing as their thing is tomorrow that leaves time for her to join you at an Easter service at a church next week! Sounds fair.

Probably ignore it and keep that can of worms closed.

Spiritually Weak Ones Are Bad Association according to the Governing Body

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

after you read the words of jesus in mark 2: 17, you will see that the contrast between the teachings of jesus and the governing body.. .

you clearly read what's written in the bible, but the society is always twisting and bending scriptures to their benefit.

here is stephen lett talking about ''spiritually weak'' members and twisting jesus's words teaching on sinners:.

carla

If they really had any faith at all, couldn't their strong faith be considered a 'vaccine' against spiritually weak worthless slobs they must associate with just to get along in the world?

Guess Jesus would have been bad association when He ate with the sinners huh?
