Anyone like an invite to the memorial?
by Axeman injust visited my 80 year old mother who rarely goes witnessing.
noticed a pile of tracts for the memorial she has been given to distribute.
50 houses is a lot for an old lady you'd think jehovah's organization would cut her some slack.

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday
morning; it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished but
amazingly neither of them are hurt. God works in Mysterious ways. After
they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So you're a man. That's
interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing
left but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should
meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our
days". Flattered, the man replies, "Oh yes, I agree with you
completely, this must be a sign from God!" The woman continues, "And
look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished
but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this
wine and celebrate our good fortune." Then she hands the bottle to the
man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the
bottle and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle
and immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, "Aren't you having any?" The woman replies, "No. I think
I'll just wait for the police .... "

Has the number of 144,000 changed?
by TooBad TooSad inthrough out my witness life i have always believed that when the partakers at memorial went up that means.

are not literal. 144 000 who are male, virginal, Jews
I know of a brother who started to take the emblems in the seventies. He stopped sleeping with his wife, for he now considered himself a virgin. Wife was not too pleased which is why everone knew

Could This be such a place?
Long ago, a child-like time: the Tower set my stride
I'd bellow out the Kingdom songs; my heart would fill with pride
Of knowing I was on the path to righteousness and life
Looking forward to the end of misery and strifeThen one day I looked around and found myself alone
My faith was dry, my hopes had fled, serenity was gone
The ones I loved had turned their backs and heartlessly refused
To speak, so by their silence I was bitterly abusedIn the menace of the world, I stumbled to and fro
Seeking here and searching there, but nowhere could I go
'Til at last I found my place, and joy beyond compare
Where no-one cares just what I've done; where people simply care.With thanks to Timothy Campbell author "Beyond Jehovah's Witnesses"

Told wife that I don't like going to the meeting
by XBEHERE infinally said it out loud even though my actions have been showing it for quite some time.
a fight ensued and now she isn't talking to me.
the wierd thing is when i just didnt go she didn't say much (she hasn't been for over 2 mos for a medical reason) but god forbid i should actually vocalize that i don't want to go... i didn't want to give her any fuel to call me an apostate so i just blamed discouragement and my dislike of the elders which she already knows.

Ignat it is better to look at our partners as having free minds and free will.
Did we even have a free mind and a free will as Witnesses?

I tried that, but my wife won't do it. It is a good idea- but for me, it would have had to have been done
a few years ago. There's a success story from a guy who believed he was anointed.Yes xbehere I read that success story and that is what I had in mind. And as you say it needs to be done early. When I had that window of opportunity I was not aware of how the WT mind controll worked Thought it was simply a matter of presenting the facts " Look at this they are a fraud" Big mistake She was immediately on the defensive At one time she was asking questions and her WT mindset was being challenged. She ran them past the elders and came back with the warning watch him he is very clever. No rebuttal Just the advice trust us watch him.
This is a classic The neighbour's boy was working for me and one day my ex at the time my wife said "Did you witness to him" Yes I said I told him how Jesus came invisibly in 1919 and put the WT in charge etc etc Her response You should have a millstone put around your neck and thrown in the sea Me Why? What did I say was wrong? She "He is not ready for that He is only ready for the milk of the word.

I lost my wife. She had cognative dissonance believe what the WT said about me my character evil apostate or what she knew personaly. If I had my time over again I would do things different No direct challange to WT authority but covertly lead your wife to the same conclusions as you have before you show your hand. You need to avoid trigguribg her emotional fear of losing her misplaced security. As witnesses we where indoctrinated into putting our trust in the WT they spoke with and claimed all the authority of God as well as poisonong our minds against any other christians who met in other denominations. So effectively that they the WT could tthen say where else can you go?
My advice go easy take your time watch your wifes emotional reaction when you mention something that challenge her trust in the WT. One tack might be to enlist her aid in dealing with the issues that you have that challenge your faith in the WT take them beyond the local elders they are only doing what they are trained to do by the WT All the best Bob
