  JWS leading a double life

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you know (or have you ever known) of apparently loyal or even fanatical jws that lead a double life?

  they may appear godly and obedient but in secret they bend the rules eg by fornication, cheating etc

  my two year old grandson calls me bap-paw...every afternoon when my daughter picks him up from day care his first words are: my bap-paw.

  yesterday my daughter brought home a black lab puppy.

  when she picked him up this afternoon...that's right...his frist words were: my puppy...of course my daughter wore out her tires getting home, so she could call and regail her mother with grandson and doggie stories...i've been replaced by a dog...i'm depressed, hope i can sleep tonight...a dog for god sake...

  ohhhh how cute!
  No worries, you can never be replaced.
  Once the novelty of the new dog wears off, it will be back to Bap-paw once again.

  My husband found it while doing research about jw's. He later told me he found this site and he wanted me to take a look. I was still in the org, but working my way out. It took me about 3 months to take a look, then after that, it took me a couple of months of disbelief and crying, then the realization that i was not alone.
  Now, i am telling everyone i know to come here, its helped so many people.

  I love the holiday's. At first i didnt know how to go about it, since i was raised in the borg, but my husband has helped me along the way, and his family has helped alot too, so it gets better every year. Plus, seeing the excitement in my son's eyes makes it even more of a wonderful time for me. I get to live vicariously(sp?) through him.

  Thanks for the recap, i dont know how you sat through that.

  He also said that he forbid his wife to preach to his 2 daughters, but they became dubs anyway. He said later he found out when he was gone all day at work his wife was breaking out the bible studies with his daughters. So I guess the wts says it is ok to lie and disobey your husband only if it furthers thier cause. I guess it is encouraged now.

  New Light, maybe?

  YES!!!

  This site has more than helped me escape, but helped me feel normal and not so alone in the world. Its such a wonderful feeling to be out and starting to regain a whole new identity and life for myself and my family.
  I am very grateful simon! Thank you!!!

  Inapropriate behavior by jw family members

  by ButtLight in

  1. social
  2. family

  ok, i have said in one other thread that i appreciate the fact that a family member that i have, doesnt really shun me, but wont get together with me where the witnesses can see.

  but i have a problem that really bothers me.

  this family member has a really good worldly friend, who started out as a business associate.

  I know what your going through.
  The fact is that you are 'marked'. They have less to answer for with those other people
  around, than you. Its stupid and its hypocritical.
  

  In my situation, my parents are shunning my sister and I, but they currently have this
  worldly girl living in their home. She is a work mate of my other sister, and she was in
  an abusive realtionship. Now, i am all about helping people in their time of need, dont get
  me wrong. But they have her living there in their home, helping her to buy a car, and helping
  her to get on her feet. She is this former drug addict who lost her children because she
  couldnt keep herself clean. I got this very bad feeling when i met her, she is the type that
  will take all she can get until you are fed up with it, and i get that feeling from what my
  sister has told me about her. So, after all this that they know about this woman, they rather
  have her LIVE in their home with them and not have anything to do with their own daughters.
  It is disgusting and very hurtful.

  I hope things work out for you and your brother!

  Told my nonJW brother-in-law I'm done with the JW thing

  by ithinkisee in

  i am slowly ramping up the wheels of apostacy and have begun telling a few people to help brace the fallout of me telling my wife.

  i have many relatives that aren't jws - both on my side and on my wife's side.

  i've already told my dad (who was never a jw - to which i am eternally grateful), and some nonjw business people that i am also friends with.. my wife's brother was never a jw.

  Good Luck to you!
  You are smart by telling a select few first so that they know your position.
  Its going to be difficult at first, but stick to what is right for you.
