  My family is at the KC Convention, too. I think it's hilarious how all the JWs are posting pictures and chatting back and forth on instagram throughout the whole thing. In my mind I am imagining all 14,000 of them with their phones in their hand thumbing it to death.

  It really is interesting to look at the evolution of the Watchtower leadership over the years. While Russell was a complete whack-job and self absorbed with his own brilliantness, his successors make him look like a humble Job, in comparison.

  1976 is when one was first formed under Knorr. Before that, JWs were ruled by a president and board of directors. The president had full say over doctrine.

  What are the consequences if a JW files for an unscriptural divorce?

  by Daniel1555 in

  in january my wife separated from me, because she views me as an apostate (to make the story short).. at that time the elders explained to us, that the bible doesn't approve of such a separation.

  i heard from my mother in law, that my wife finally wants to divorce.

  (when i think of how my wife treated me the last year i actually want a divorce too).. now my question to you:.

  My mother remarried a JW for a short 3 years, then divorced due to emotional abuse. She talked to the elders first, who, according to her, gave her the okay. The divorced and neither one had any restrictions that I know of. Both are still witneses, going to different congregations.

  For divorcing you for apostacy? No ... she will probabaly be celebrated as a "fine example" of somebody leaving you to protect herself from "spiritual abuse". She will not be able to marry until you do the dirty with someone first, but other than that, I think they will celebrate her as a martyr.

  sometime this week.

  my parents are getting a lot of heat from the congregation, and tension in my house was already super high.

  i know it's inevitable.

  I was start socking away every dollar you can and ride it out as long as you can. Then, if/when it does happen, you will have a bit of cash to work with. You might start looking around for a roommates to live with. It can cut your living expenses significantly.

  While this page about them not being a cult is hilarious and ridiculous, their page on on "Who was the founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses?" will have you laughing so hard, you will piss your knickers! According to them, Charles Russell did not found the Jehovah's Witnesses, it was .... Jesus Christ!
