hello from mavie.

currently happily married for a number of years to a great jw wife, i currently serve as an ms in our local kh.

my wife and i have been told we are pillars in the congregation.

Welcome mavie.. and mrs mavie

I think most of us have been in your shoes, it's the tiny crack that leads you to this website and you cannot face the possibility that what you are reading is true.

For me I ignored most of the posts when I first came here and concentrated on the ones that proved things from the bible. In time I began to see how wrong I had been.

The thing that swung it for me? All the people here are prepared to back up and prove what they say, they dont slander, quote from people you dont know or cant find.

I'm sorry you have been dealt with so shoddily by your congregation. Jesus said you would know his disciples because they had love amongst themselves, do you see that? Personally I've seen more in the local Catholic Church

Jehoover punishing me

by KW13 in

i got two chairs in my room that are from our kingdom hall, we took them ages ago and i also have a new table that was meant for the second school but they already had a new one.. thing is, on the chair i use at my desk.

when i sit down i sometimes touch the chair leg...when i do a bright blue spark happens and i get a shock ( no lie ).

I think drunken poppy would have made a great elder. Look how quickly she came up with that list of salacious questions.

Funny, I thought I would have made a great elder too!!! And I just love the salacious word... oooh.

Definition:

Appealing to or stimulating sexual desire; lascivious.
Lustful; bawdy.

Lascivious is a great word isn't it?? You see how theocratic education increases your vocabulary!

Yes a full confession is necessary

For the benefit of the ~~dirty minded elders who haven't had any in weeks~~... I mean your everlasting life

Tell us.. was it over or under the clothes? Did you touch or fondle? Was it accidental or deliberate,

Did you do it again, have you prayed about it, how good did it feel, did you get off on it later on that evening?????

I feel after a full confession your chair may stop pricking your consience which is clearly bothering you!

Slap KW here! ~ weak poll #4

kw is a bright young man who knows his way around computers and cult indoctination techniques.

he is helping his mum and many others see the truth about the truth.

he had a bad side though when it comes to sharing chocolate with desperate hungry relatives.. so what will you do when you meet kw at an apostate bbq?.

So My Husband is Going Through the Guilt Thing Again

by MrsBee in

.

he goes through this every few months.. even though he is a good man, he feels like he isnt doing what jehovah wants him to do, he gets angry sometimes n all that, im like , errra uhh, isnt that a normal human emotion, like jealousy.. he said they are not natural emotions or something like that...

anyhoo.. we get into this discussion about crosses, he says that its a slap in the face to jesus to be "glorifying" his torture

PoppyR

Isn't it funny how long people hang on to their beliefs after they dont go? I know people that have been Dfed for years and still think it's the truth and armageddon is coming.

I was reading somewhere about cults and they were saying that the people that question a lot and dont care too much about conforming or belonging tend to get out easier, I think that was true of me. But I wish we could get through to people who have stopped going!

Slowly but surely.

What Do You Do For Fun?

by minimus in

personally, i love music, especially live music.

i often go on weekends to listen to r&b, soul, funk, etc.

what do you enjoy doing?

PoppyR

like to watch porn and fondle myself, urinate on the front lawn of the local kingdom hall, and steal old women's purses. I kick blind men and cats too.
Ok, I don't really do those things - I just wanted to give Bethel lurkers something to gossip about.

lmao at finally free.

Fun... I love sitting in the pub with friends, drinking, talking, lounging and just hanging out, nothing quite like a tipsy girlie conversation to get the giggles going.

Sex... cant remember if that's fun or not? Think I may have turned back into a virgin.

Children and exes..

by PoppyR in

jw
friends

short background, i am seperated, ex is still a witness, but very weak, all my family and his very devout, i allow my younger brother to come once a week to study with my two boys 11+12.

which you might think is nuts, but i want more than anything to give them choice, and not to be in direct opposition to their father or other family.

youngest son is a nightmare in the study..lol.

Youngest son is a nightmare in the study..lol. And last week i said to him he does not have to have the study and I will speak to his dad about it if he wants to stop.

So he tells me that his dad sat him down and said to him "it's up to you, you can choose to listen and live, or do what you want and die"

More to it than that, but the age old threat of death if you do not behave.

Both my boys believe it's the truth, so far I have only encouraged them to question everything, and tried to provide alternative viewpoints. I am just fading so also need to be careful what I say.

But I am upset about this latest development and dont know what to say to my son to help him.

Suggestions??

Well, my wife flipped out.

by rassillon in

i hope i don't go too long with this.... last night my wife and i were talking about her day in service.

we talked about several things of little consequence and then i made mention of a point out of the reasoning book to underscore the importance of our need to be well versed in the facts that support our beliefs.

said point is on 416 of the rs book.

Firstly Welcome! And sorry if you feel attacked! Most here understand your frustration. However I also understand if someone had done a direct frontal attack on me I would have come out all guns blazing. I personally feel much patience, love and time is needed, and you cannot strike until the time is right. In my own situation I raised my doubts, but bit my tongue after that when nobody in my family (and I mean not a soul) agreed or listened.

A co-worker (who I later learned is DAd) waited 3 years until she asked me if I would mind researching 607 for her, and why the society do not agree with all other sources who quoted 587.

This was a brilliant move, she did not attack, merely inquired and got me to do the research. Much like the article mentioned at freeminds which is amazing, thank you whoever posted that!

It wasn't so much that the prophecy was wrong that got me thinking, just the fact I HAD NEVER QUESTIONED IT!! And I wondered how many other things I hadn't questioned, before I knew it I was here.. the rest is history.

Cannot agree more with the poster who said show her much love, much understanding and try and stay right away from the scriptural subjects for a while, just tell her you are having doubts and you must sort them out, but keep reassuring her of your love for her. It will hopefully be strong enough to survive if she stays in or joins you out!
