  What should I do?

  by MrsBee in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  long story short, hubby is a dfd dub who is trying to get back wasnt raised one, became one when he was like 25 .. anyhoo, i have issues with the dubs due to knowing so many kids in my hs who were miserable growing up, but ive been to the kh a few times once when i was an impressionable teenager open minded to what they had to say due to my boyfriend at the time.

  they made a statement about all other religions are babylon or harlots or something like that and i knew from that point on that i would never be a part of it.

  fast forward to a few yrs ago me and hubby met back up after being separated for 10 years he said he used to be a dub, i said r u going back, he said prob not.

  my husband is a dfd dub even though he still believes all the crap.. .

  we have a discussion yesterday where i basically said i feel like i was bamboozled because i didnt really have the option to choose.

  if i had the choice, knowing what i know (growing up around a lot of jws in my life) i wouldnt make the choice to marry into the religion because i think its wacked, lol .

  Have any former JW's kept any beliefs ..

  by MrsBee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from your days as an active witness.... i.e.

  the trinity - i know some former jw's who still dont believe in the trinity, and cant fathom there being one.

  holidays - i mean, can you celebrate xmas without feeling guilty and if you celebrate xmas , do you celebrate it as jesus' b-day.. (i didnt know the origin until a couple of years ago.

  So What Exactly is an Unbaptized Publisher

  by MrsBee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  a lady i know was telling me that she studied for 10 years and was considered an upbaptized publisher before being baptized.. is that possible, i didnt think and organization such as the jw's would let you just soak up all their "knowledge" without becoming one of the crew... :)

  although havent been on here in a while since i had my son, i came on here asking for advice because i was having trouble dealing with the fact my husband was thinking about going back to the dubs, and he still hasnt gone back..yayayayayay... and im soooo happy, he still has most of their beliefs , but thats okay, they arent 100% bad, they helped him change his life..but i dont bother him cuz i dont want him runnin back!!!

  I have alot of questions

  by MrsBee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my husband is a d'fed jw and i think he is gonna try and make his way back there .

  they dont believe in fate?

  (long story short, we were high school sweethearts, didnt see each other since xmas 1993 even though we lived in the same city then he ran into my mother xmas 2003, while i lived in charlotte and he was here in maryland, i moved back to maryland 3 weeks later and we were married 7 months after that- i believe in fate, i dont think its far fetched to believe that god has a plan for everyone).

  A Story and A Little Bit of Grattitude

  by MrsBee in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i never was a jw, went to kh a few times as a teenager, didnt feel comfortable with the things said, alot of my associates as an adult were brought up witnesses, but ya know, were pretty much disowned by their families as adults because they chose not to be jw's.. my husband is a d'fed jw, i knew he had been a jw, but it didnt even cross my mind that he would go back to them..

  well, a couple of months after we were married ( around september of last year) this guy started calling our home asking him i guess to come to the kh.

  i flipped out, i started not talking to him, i was very emotionally distraught over this matter, and then i went from being sad to damn mad, and i would just ignore him, because in my mind i saw this as as something that will break up my marriage (my feelings on that havent changed) while searching the internet trying to find things to change his mind about this religion something great happened, i started reading the bible and just in general started to feel better as a person myself and how it was ok for me to feel how i felt, because i felt like i was bamboozled because as much as i love my husband, i would have thought differently about marriage if i knew he was going to become a witness again.
