  2. friends

  did anyone hate that expression as much as i did?

  my husband and i are separated right now, and my jw sister reminded me on the phone the other day to make sure i gave him 'his wifely due'.

  that expression makes me want to barf.

  i always considered it "quid pro quo" as a marital due not gender specific

  i was df bout a year back and have since been enlightened by a life long friend.

  i am leaning toward returning anyway but mostly for familyand friends.

  i recognize the hypocrisy of this move but also don't feel that i should be subject to there authority and in my current state i am.

  both my wife and i have already come to the conclusion that even if we go back we no longer answer to the elders we serve god on our own with our own interpretation of his will not theirs or the gb. if i would have known a year ago what i know now i wouldnt have felt the need to confess and therefore wouldntbe df i do not intend on abiding by the rules or "current understanding" if it conflicts with my understanding

  A bit reluctant

  by saki2fifty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a bit reluctant in writing this post, for i dont feel i should be here.

  even a bit nervous... .

  i've never officially dedicated myself to jehovah, but i was brought up in the truth, very strong, and at times when getting older, there were lulls in my attendance... yet to this day i still attend.

  How to get rid of a JW

  by moomanchu in

  1. social
  2. humour

  a chalk outline of a human body on the pavement, and a few copies of "the watchtower" scattered around.... answer every one of their questions with "what do you mean by that?

  " this might take a while, but you and your loved ones can have fun placing bets on how long it takes for them to leave.. when they ask, "can i talk to you about god?

  " reply, "sure, what would you like to know?

  Should I admit to JWs that I am disfellowshipped?

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know about 2000 jws in sydney, and have 50 that are tax clients, so barely a week goes by without bumping into someone i know.

  it seems that few of them realise that i am disfellowshipped because they talk freely to me.

  last week i accidently sat next to an elder on the train and we engaged in small talk for over 30 minutes.. should i admit to these people that i am not a jw?.

  so at long last i've converted my childhood friend from being an apologist to being a near apostate.

  lemme tell you how that happened.

  this guy and i debate almost daily the virtues of being one of "jehovah's people.
