Divorces...isn't that a "conditional" love?

by FreedomFrog in

jw
friends

i just read the thread on how many jw's were in "happy" marriages and it got me thinking...there is so much divorces, so many families in and out of the org.

that break up over stupid stuff.

we complain how mothers/fathers/friends cut you off because of different beliefs.... wouldn't divorces also be on "conditional" love?

Axeman

Not sure if I ever want to be married again because I can't deal with "conditional" love. What happened to unconditional love? I'm beginning to believe there is no such thing.

I don't believe that it is love if it has to be earned ( conditional ) It is a gift. Love is as love does. It may or may not be accompanied with loving feelings. Hence one can love ones anemies. Does that make me a doormat No for I love myself. I enjoyed reading " The Road Less Travelled" by M Scott Peck for a working defination of what is or is not love. A heavier read is The Four Loves by C S Lewis

by aquagirl in

Hey bud, no penis, no privileges.

Does size matter? Bigger dickhead more priveleges.

Girls re penis envy As Jane's mother told her daughter when she came to her crying because little Johnie was teasing her about not having a penis. Don't worry darling when you grow up you can have as many of those that you want

Shunning

by Axeman in

jw

most of us here accept that we were indoctrinated as jw's on a very personal level ie: how we should dress acceptable jobs association with socalled worldly people even your own flesh and blood.

a divisive them us mentality them bad us good so having been there i cut my ex wife and sisters a lot of slack telling myself that they are not really responsible for their actions re treating me as if i were dead .

those of us who have experienced this know from their experience how cruel and inhuman this policy is yet the relatives claim the victim status saying that they would not have to do this if you had not left and they are hurting.

I am slowly comming to the conclusion that despite the fact that my family are indoctrinated they are accountable They have a choice What do you think?

Is the WTS becoming more like Ancient Israel?

by unbaptized in

is the wts becoming more like ancient israel?

tell me what you think

Axeman

They're already there. They've said that if it weren't for the law of the land, they would implement a more Theocratic method of exterminating apostates rather than just DFing them. I'm sure the Legal Department at Bethel is looking for loopholes though.

And the ones that would throw the first stones would be your own witness family They already treat us as dead to them. So when do we stop making excuses for them telling ourselves that they are deceived that they are not responsible for their actions What were the Nuerenburg war trials about?

JWdom "limbo"

by Gayle in

jw
friends

i realize how many people are sent to "limbo" of sorts by the wts.

how many jws quit going, inactive, no meetings for "years," wasn't happy with it but are still "stuck" somewhere in between, not active jws, feeling condemned by the organization yet still don't stretch themselves to "read" anything to investigate why the organization didn't work for them.

my brother got a call from an inactive jw, who hasn't gone in years & not in the association of anyone anyway, not happy with jwdom.

Axeman

"Why am I letting my life be ruled by people I no longer like?"

What about being ruled by those you do like. Like family that shun you because they are under the WT spell I say ruled because you can't change this Like you can open the cage but they won't come out Like hostages who prefer to stay captive They might as well be dead but they are not dead and I can't let go but I know I must

People tend to think of cults as an information problem.A doctrinal problem They are missing the point Cults are a family problem,since a cult is an artificial family that seeks to supersede your own and ultimately destroy it

Looking For A New Church

by lehighjoe in

jw
friends

being raised as a jw is a double edged sword.

on one hand, you get a phenominal boot-camp education on the bible, what it means, how to use it in your life (even long after leaving the society).

on the other hand, it makes looking for a new home-church a bit of a challenge.

Axeman

a phenominal boot-camp education on the Bible

More like WT doctrine. And based on this doctrine your looking for a church defined by the WT My suggestion find a church that promotes Jesus as the way the truth and the light and not themselves like the WT does Bible knowledge is wasted if it does not lead to putting faith in Jesus

Cross stake or shot with a colt 45 what does it matter how The question should be why and what does this mean to me

Follow the Christ????????

by Axeman in

jw
friends

does anyone else find find this title strange "the christ" is follow jesus to churchie for them?

they make such a big deal about using god's personal name jehovah but jesus he's "the christ" probably just me but it sounds weird like follow the title

Axeman

Actually the phrase "The Christ" is leftover from an old WTS teaching that "The Christ" was made up of Jesus and the 144,000 and consisted of 144,001 members so that the 144,000 were also "Christ."
