  inlove,
  
  I'd say that it's good for you to go with him for support, especially since he's got the shunning to endure. Just keep your guard up there. You'll be entering a building with 1 guy brainwashing a room of 100 yes-people. Don't become one of them. Keep your wits up.
  
  PM me if you need any advice.
  
  Is your husband trying to be reinstated? How long has he been DFed?

  Does anyone else think there's any significance to her bringing up "Im not brainwashed" Could that mean that she considers that she COULD BE. Because I NEVER used those words.

  Watchtower November 15 - study article "Reject apostasy"

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every few issues, the society likes to have a dig at apostates.

  they never state what apostates believe or what their arguments are.. the first study article, "keep yourselves in god's love!

  " is about avoiding wrongdoing.. .

  Anyone who's seen my posts on jwd knows that Im an active JW whos married in the religion. I recently started leaning my "family study" with my wife to a more free-thinking, personal researching mode. (Real studying) Between this and keeping up with the many hurdles of JW life (Meetings, Studying, Comments), I'd been doing a pretty good job of keeping my cover, while trying to get my wife thinking about her religion.
  
  Until yesterday.
  
  I almost blew my cover, and It's all thanks to this site right here. Myspace.
  
  My wife is a well-indoctrinated JW. While being a free-thinker in nearly every other aspect of her life, she will NOT question the organization or anything that comes from the platform.
  
  We were at a fellow JWs house, he's more of a liberal JW. We play violent video games together, and he and several of my other JW friends are on myspace.com.
  
  To stay under the radar, as myspace is the flavor of the week, being demonized throughout the organization through talk after talk, I don't have a myspace (in my real name, ha!) So I am not a part of my JW friends myspace network.
  
  Anyway, my wife decides to bring up myspace and everything that's wrong with it at this guy's house. (She later said she didn't know that he was on myspace) I have always felt uncomfortable speaking with people about what JWs consider "conscience matters" as different people have different ideas and these conversations generally end up with people having sore feelings towards each other and the stricter witness seeing the other as a "spiritual weakling" and "bad associate."
  
  But the conversation continued, with my wife slamming the site and my friend defending it, I tried to avoid the conversation by leaving the room, but my wife pursued me. she asked what I thought. I said that I could see how it could be dangerous for some people but I can't in good conscience condemn it because I have several business and personal websites and I don't see myspace as any different.
  
  I told her I didn't want to talk about it and that really set her off. She spat something at me about disagreeing with the "faithful and discreet slave" and I took offense. (This is a jw's way of accusing another of apostasy, which you can be disfellowshipped for).
  After getting really angry with me and leaving the room, I went out after her and we had a lovely fight about it. We made up and the rest of the night went relatively normal.
  
  Anyway, on the ride home she grilled me more about it. She said she just wanted to understand my mentality. Here's where I messed up, I asserted that "A conscience matter is anything that isn't in the bible. If something isn't in the bible, then I can't condemn people for it" This, of course doesn't go well with JWs since they go WAY beyond the bible in their lists of Dos/Dont's.
  
  I said "What kind of conversation is this, any way I LOSE. They said NO MYSPACE and since I disagree with that, what point is there in talking about it!
  
  I also said that "You can't condemn me for using my mind"
  She said "Do you think I'm brainwashed! Im just following people who are guided by holy spirit!" and
  "Do you like being in the truth?"
  
  I couldn't blow my cover so I backpedaled and gave typical JW responses for the rest of her quesitons, talking about how I love the truth and wait on jehovah for things that don't make sense and that I'll eventually be set right.
  
  Anyway, all my reasoning with my wife and trying to get her thinking about the bible and the organization seems to be going to waste.
  
  The rest of the night and in my dreams I mourned the loss of my entire life and my wonderful wife to this mind-controlling cult. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I will most likely end up shunned by all and will 99% likely lose my marriage to this battle.
  
  Once I get my strength up, Ill be ready for war.

  The new Track has anyone heard?

  by ladione5000 in

  we are all doomed to death, i think by the end of this year too, so we dont have long .

  i heard that the work is going to stop, that would be kindof nice here since it is so cold in the winter and knocking on doors waking people up is really lame in the first place, i often wondered why we had to hit the streets so early and make people so angry?.

  well supposely this new track is hitting him where it hurts, they are out right telling people they are going to die at the hands of god if they do not join up with the jws right now.

  Allot of dubs are talking about expecting a wave of persecution and getting spit on and the like... (Believe it or not, this is wishful thinking for JWs.)
  
  People are always talking about how the WT is going to get more hard-hitting in the coming months.
