hi there, this is my first post, but i've been buzzing around this site for years.. i got married at 18, hubby was 20, i was a regular pioneer and we were talking about serving in bethel.
fast forward - i left in 2004 after a 5 year battle with my conscience, family and friends who kept insisting that i was just "weak and needed to have another bible study".
however hubby and i stayed together although it was kinda on the understanding that we would just not talk about it.
Welcome!
Now to cut to the chase why do you want a divorce?
If you want to see other people or even have someone in mind I would suggest that you just let the new relationship grow. In time you will find hubby will come around.'
anything else:
I completely agree with Data-dogs thoughts on this
ok i started another thread and every one jumped on me because i was trying to take the theory of evolution out of the mix and most here seem to believe in it so i will just say it.
the theory of major evolution is crap!
the theory is falling apart.
on another thread gingerbread said (ouch - the poetry is not deliberate!
) that all sunday public talks are now manuscript.. is this why the brothers have been doing babble readings without adding any comment?
so they can just regurgitate words convincingly whether they understand or not??.
Julia O, I was talk co-ordinator before I left and their were 119 outlines in circulation. This was as of 2004
i have thought a lot about what to say when i am approached.
it will kill my fade, but oh well.. "after the new light i had to test my faith and i couldn't prove to myself that the slave was limited to the governing body.".
if cornered by an elder...."can you prove to me from the scriptures that matt.
Best response KMBA!

Funny how you forget things.
Lets look at the timeline here. We know that 9/11 scared the GB/lawyers shitless. They immediately began plans to get out of brooklyn. I was looking at the PDFs of plans here and by 2005 they had picked out this real estate and began the process of making their escape from Brooklyn a reality.
We are talking about an almost 20 yr project taken up on the eve of the toes of the end of this system of things.
So while they continue to admonish the R&F not to put their trust in money, jobs, earthly things or to plan for a future in THIS system of things, they are DOING THE VERY THING THEY PREACH AGAINST?!?

Any Idea how much all that land cost?
before the usual suspects start reaching for the pich-forks and forming a mob, i invite you to actually read and consider this, not just leap to conclusions.. http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/americas/united-states/130607/7-graphs-america-overrated-nsa-prism-privacy.
why do i care?
it seems the people being screwed the most are also the most visciferous defenders of the status quo which sees them being severely disadvantaged.. maternity leave?
we've all waxed poetic about the jw views on higher education and how they truly stifled people trying to pursue an education.
but what did they offer as an alternative??!!.
at least mormons (who's theology is as equally fucked up as jws) had an accredited school in brigham young university that their people could aspire to attend.
Black Man call me!
