  2008 and still no Armagedon!!! I feel like I made an "Ass of myself"

  by Witness 007 in

  2. bible

  yes sitting in pizza hut in 1991 a small band of pioneer brothers {me and friend's} debated when armagedon would come.

  due to the "generations" doctrine, we calculated 2001 at the latest...then the doctrine was dropped!!!

  recently the last world war 1 vetran died in australia.

  {I know I'm gonna be a very angry old man}

  Witness 007:

  I think you are going to end up a very happy old man - that you found out in your 30s and not in your 50s or 60s. Even that is better than finding out on your death bed.

  do you find that most of the ones you grew up with left?

  i looked around while still active and saw numbers dwindling from my generation.

  i pioneered while in late teens/early twenties and several from my class that were friends of mine left years ago.

  Most of my old friends are still in. One who was disfellowshipped for many years has even gone back.

  I remember sitting in a Pizza Hut in about 1973... a small band of pioneers and friends (including myself).... discussing when Armageddon would come....

  Would it be in 1974 or 1975???

  any former elders have an answer for me?

  by helricha in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i was df'd for living with/having sex with my boyfriend for 3 years and then not ending the relationship and moving out within the week between the first meeting of confession and the second meeting where they tell me what their decision was.

  i did move out 3 months later with the intent of being reinstated over a period of time.

  well i couldn't cut off the relationship with my bf even though i did move out, so i married him after a year and then 2 weeks after that i slept with someone else.

  this is the third elder that tells me that the body of elders will recommend me as an elder in the next visit of the co.. what do you think i should do?

  some facts:.

  i am still 'in' because of my family.i am ms.i am doing 10+ fake hours (well, some months it is fake), so they see my "spiritual" progress.-ootb.

  I should add that my wife knows the truth about the truth

  So why would you create a burden for yourself and be an elder?? With you and your wife knowing the truth, you can be fringe witnesses for a while if you want, but quietly planning a better life for yourselves.

  What Happened Next !

  by Maddie in

  2. friends

  a couple of days ago i asked for advice because the elders have got on my case and wanted to come and see me.

  my jw son and his wife are the only ones who know my feelings on the borg.

  i also told them some home-truths about the wt, so i wasn't sure if they had turned me in or not.

  I refused to see the elder saying I didn't need a visit

  Sounds like that was a good way to handle it. I hope they leave you alone now, Maddie.

  Mr. Flippers Son makes Best Reply yet to Witness Mom's 4th E-Mail

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  so is this witness mother of my son a glutton for punishment or what ?

  to avoid boring you all ( as if this isn't getting a bit redundant already ) i have edited bits and pieces of the best parts of her first e-mail , and his return e-mail, and her last e-mail after his reply so you can see what went down in conversation .

  thanks for reading, here is his mom on sunday night .

  I think the mum really does love your son, mr flipper. The problem is she is totally brainwashed and is trying all sorts of tricks to get him back in.

  Your son has good reasoning ability and has put his point of view across very well. It's not only the mum who is reading these emails, it's also the sisters. You never know how it might help them.

  You do have to draw the line though at some point. I've had these types of conversations with my parents but I decided that enough is enough. In the end it's too emotionally draining.

  Did You Stay In Because of the Fear?

  growing up amongst jws, i saw the core beliefs as a threat.

  be a jw, or die horribly.

  but no one i knew ever admitted this, it was all about 'loving jehovah'.

  myababes, welcome to JWD. I also stayed in for a while out of fear of disappointing my family.
