  Disfellowshipping.......

  by Cori in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a good friend who has been disfellowshipped twice, and currently has been for over 2 years with the local elders not wanting to reinstate him.

  he always was viewed as the black sheep in our cong.

  when we were growing up and the elders have decided to teach him a lesson now.

  Family Reunion

  by Cori in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this past weekend, i attended my family's annual reunion (scheduled a week before thanksgiving, and they served turkey...hmmm) and became literally sick because they are all jw and talked of nothing else.

  i finally realized how sad the normal jw's life is.

  they really have nothing else going for them, thats why the thought of leaving is so unbelievable.

  Another conversation....

  by Cori in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was chatting with my wife on my way home from work, and she mentioned a news story she heard about a mother who drowned her 5 children...we were talking about how that is so inconceivable.

  she told how she was talking about it with her mother (another devout jw) and stating how that was just unbelievable, how could a mother do this.

  her mom answered, "well you know those that dont fear jehovah, act under the influence of the devil".

  Showing Self Control

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we spent some time at the in-laws this past weekend (they are very serious jws) and i literally became sick to my stomach.. how does those that are fading handle the visits with family or in-laws that are still jw?

  how do you contain the constant need to blow up and answer everything they are spewing??.

  btw, sunday came around, and we went to breakfast in the morning.missed the meeting without a hint of regret.

  just another note to discuss another conversation i had with my spouse in my attempts to break her free from jw thinking.

  i as i have mentioned, she has been coming along with certain things (discussing birthdays, watching rated r movies and movies with magic, not attending meetings and service etc...).

  we have both been recently becomed totally hooked on the showtime show "the l word".

  Far Away

  just an update on my situation at home with my wife.

  after reading coc, and after the counsel from some on this board, i have decided to wait, and not go full head on with a religious discussion with my wife.

  as i had mentioned, she is not an active witness (we dont go to the meetings or in service), and even recently discussed our daughter's birthday.

  Crazy Comments

  by Cori in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was there a comment made at a meeting that finally convinced you, this is not right?

  for me a couple of months ago was in the service meeting, they stated that if the children didnt finish their homework because they were studying the bible or at a meeting that teachers should understand that their meetings and study are more important.

  i looked at my wife and went "what"?
