  Told wife that I don't like going to the meeting

  by XBEHERE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  finally said it out loud even though my actions have been showing it for quite some time.

  a fight ensued and now she isn't talking to me.

  the wierd thing is when i just didnt go she didn't say much (she hasn't been for over 2 mos for a medical reason) but god forbid i should actually vocalize that i don't want to go... i didn't want to give her any fuel to call me an apostate so i just blamed discouragement and my dislike of the elders which she already knows.

  XBEHERE, first stop being an elder at the hall, then start on your fade until you are finally out for good. Good luck!

  By going to the memorial you are just adding fuel to their fire. They love to gloat over the memorial attendance.

  Yet every aspect of that ritual is the exact opposite of what Christ asked to be done in his remembrance.

  If you drink the wine or eat the bread as Christ commanded Jehovah will get mad and kill you.

  PRIEST GETS 14 YEARS FOR DEATH IN BOTCHED EXORCISM.

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why is it that a priest, practicing their 'freedom of religion' can be jailed when someone dies during a botched exorcism, yet the watchtower society faces no jail time when someone dies from refusing a blood transfusion?

  i realize this is in another country, but what happens in north america if someone dies during an exorcism?

  is the priest put in prison?

  Cornici, 23, was tied up for several days without food or water and chained to a cross. She died of dehydration, exhaustion and suffocation.

  They should give him life. Or firing squad.

  Been gone awhile.(Rough past few three months)

  by jakes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have'nt been here for awhile.the family and i went through a very rough time over the past three months.most of it has been jw related and how negatively the teachings have affected a brother of my wife who has been diagnosed with bipolar.however,that i will leave for a different discussion.we have managed to pull through it all and we are slowly picking up the pieces.

  i am also hard at work putting the final touches to my book.i will keep you posted on the release date.

  this past weekend i stepped into a kingdom hall after more than two years.i attended a jw funeral of a friend who was not a jw.his family are all jws and i was actually surprised that permission was given to them to have it conducted in the kingdom hall.halfway through the talk i got up and walked out of the hall.i could not bare to listen to the pathetic reasoning laid out by the elder during his talk.hardly any comfort was given to the family in the talk.as one other poster mentioned,it all become just one big jw presentation and "sales talk".this was probably done because of the many non-jws that were in attendance.

  For Lurkers: Is the cover of the March 15th Watchtower deceptive?

  by seek2find in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the cover of this issue pictures a group of modern day people standing looking up as if looking to the sky and the title says something like "christ comming what does it mean to you?

  " i think it's deceptive because witnesses teach that jesus already came in 1914. the article is talking about his comming to exucute the wicked and does not even mention 1914, but the photo and title on the cover would lead people to beleive that his comming is still in the future.

  isn't this deceptive?
