A "stumbling" question for a JW
by changtech ini posted my first topic a few months ago, asking people for advice because my boyfriend is a jw, and will not understand why i will not convert.. we are currently not together, but friends.
he still insists on me staring another bible study.
i have asked him questions about 1914, and the 144,000, but he keeps avoiding them.. anyways, he continues to say only his faith has "the truth".. so finally, i asked him, "if you have the truth, why does the organization continue to update their beliefs (for example, the new revelation book coming out has something like over 50 'updated' things in it), yet claim each time, their new beliefs are definite, and the truth/light?".

Very good reasoning! You have "hit the nail on the head". If he does not come around with this kind of reasoning, then he probably never will. Move on and find a boyfriend who is free to think for himself.

Lessons From Other Totalitarians
by metatron inthinking of da'ing yourself?
or getting df'd for "causing division" or "apostasy"?.
you might want to use a trick witnesses used against the nazi's ( a group of fanatics they learned a lot from).. send out brief, well written letters across across your congregation or circuit, in a random fashion.

I got the phone call. WARNING, DEPRESSING!
by Schism inwell,my dad called last night, crying.
he says armageddon's about to start and he doesn't want to lose me.
he said i either need to become a good jw and go to the meetings, or he will have to distance himself from me so that he won't be so attached to me when the big a hits.

I'm so sorry you are going through a difficult time. I agree with the posters that brought out that what your dad is doing is out of love and because he has been deceived. Treat him with love, respect and kindness. Tell him that regardless of the fact that you no longer want to be a JW, you love him and want him in your life. Show him by example that everything is going to be OK. With time he should get used to this and maybe then you can tactfully bring up some of the issues that disturb you about the society.

Explain to a "Non JW", what it's like to be a JW
by JH inwhere would you start?.
i guess you could write a whole book on what is acceptable and what's wrong, and the consequences to your actions.
you could also say all that you have to do and what you have to avoid..

It is very difficult to explain. But, in addition to what's already been said about all the things we are required and constantly reminded to do, I would add that even if you do all those things, you will not find inner peace and contentment because you are then going to be told that you are doing "enough". You will be sitting in a meeting or an assembly feeling pretty good about yoursel and your "theocratic routine"and there will be a part that makes you feel that you are not measuring up in some way. Whatever you do, it's never enough.

IMO e-watchman is a very creepy site. I think Robert is an egomaniac and suffers delusions of grandeur. I truly believe he needs professional help.

I would say "don't rock the boat". You have managed to keep a relashionshio with your mom, you are very fortunate. Maybe later on you can slowly introduce some of your findings. But for now, be happy for what you have.

Write my letter for me!
by Billzfan23 ini wanted to write my wife a letter - everything just turns bad quickly when i try to talk to her about what i have learned about the "truth" she won't turn me in to the elders for being apostate because she can't bear the thought of it, and she doesn't want me talking to the kids at all about what i have learned.
so... everything i need to say will have to be done with carefully chosen words in the form of a letter.
i am not worried about her taking the letter to the elders, and she isn't the kind to make a copy of it.

If to "abstain" from blood means not taking in any blood through any means (as the Society has taught us), then aren't we breaking the command to abstain from blood when we accept "fractions". Perhaps the understanting of "abstain from blood" is due for revision?
