Hello JH

Jesus Loves you and He knows the exact emotions you are going through. The very peop;e that you have in your life (JW's) who supposedly represent Jehovah cant even begin to Love you with the Love of Christ bcuz they dont know His Love and Mercy...How can they console you? My Sis was a witness for 25 yrs, however because of her strong love for our family it was a burden for her. She finally told Jehovah, "I Dont Want To Live On An Earthly Paradise If Its With The JW"S!!! Because They lack Love. I remeber her telling me she wanted a relationship with God like I have. My husband studies with them and I can see where they lack love but he took the wkend off from work and enjoyed himself, he even danced .

My Mom passed oon 10/10/06 and we had a Celebration!!!! It was so Beautiful!!! We laughed,laughed and laughed....Members from her church said they had never been to a Memorial Service like it! We were so Joyful bcuz my mom never had a relationship with Christ til 7/06 so we had alot to be greatful for. BTW her Service was 2 1/2 hrs away from the neighborhood we gre up in and abt 25 people showed up from there. Family members will always drive or fly the distance.....I encourage you to pray for the hearts of yr congo...and you ask Jehovah to reveal His True Self to You....I Promise you He will!!!

With the Love of Christ,

Evette

I have really been saddened knowing you had to go through a very emotional time alone....I Thank God all the time for my Christian Sis' he has put in my soooo imperfect life who loves me...UNCONDITIONALLY!!! Feel free to write me anytime.....With Love

Was Jesus Resurrected Twice

by moomanchu in

jw's deny the bodily resurrection of christ.

jw's claim he was resurrected a spiritual being namely michael .. using this line of reasoning then:.

jesus 'man' was resurrected to .

I'm in agreement with you...

Is 'Jehovah so selfish..."

by winnie in

jw
friends

hi all.. just wondering..... jw's state the the reasons for not celebrating birthdays, anniversaries etc is that it takes the focus off jehovah and onto another person/s for that day.. my question: is he so selfish as to not allow each person to celebrate their own special days?.

also, does the wtbs allow anything that is remotely considered 'fun' to be celebrated?

(other than assemblies, meetings etc, like they were ever fun!

Hi Winnie

I thihk Jehovah Loves us so much...His Word says He knew us while we were being knitted together in our mother's womb He knew us, His thoughts are always of us....If we believe that He is in control than surely He thought specially of the day you were to be born...born in wedlock or not. He is the giver of life. I celebrate my husband's childrens birthday who live with us(another talk show) with the party, cake and gifts...and they go to the kh with him. Last xmas I had a nativity scene set up with all the gifts for him as well...do u think he or the children refused them....NOT!! To sum this up.......CELEBRATE!!!!

Where is the Love

by evetteto in

ugh...i dont know how to really start this,,,but i'm a christian and my husband was b4 our split in p1...however he returned home 3yrs ago on 12/17.

however he returned a jw wannabee, actually he studies with them he hasnt been baptized in the org...its so funny how i am picking up alot of the lingo here ev'1 uses...lol....anyway, i can see where his love is so conditional and i hv to remind him that god loves us "unconditionally".

i continue to give him the true word of god!!

What XMas Present Would You Like This Year???

by minimus in

jw
friends

one thing that jws do, whether they were "strong in the truth" or not is accept presents.

even if they don't "celebrate" thanksgiving, they'd still take the turkey from the employer.

if someone sent out a birthday gift or christmas present, a witness would still take but never givein return.

evetteto

j-ex-w,

your are funny. My sis was a jdub for 25 yrs but whenever christmas rolled around she would always struggle abt the gifts...and wld run out and buy. Growing up we always had a wonerful holiday with new clothes Easter, 4of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Birthdays (7 of them and 3 were in December and we did get separate gifts from our xmas gifts), and Christmas was always special. We wld get 1 big gift like a bike or skates then we wld get alot of games to share and plenty of clothes...my mom was the pprovider and we Never went without. so for my sister to disregard Birthdays and chrismas for her children in her mind was a big injustice to them . so she no longer has the struggle and guilt beind it now cuz she is FREE!!!

Why do JWs seem to only want to own their own business?

by Medic!? in

perhaps this is a thing just near my congo or circuit.

it seemed like so many jws were either unemployed or self-employed.

they were always changing jobs.

evetteto

Aha...so this explains why my husband either got fired from his job( but couldd not receive unemplymt) or quit bcuz of what was said thim...He will never tell me the truth about itb but I hv a strong inclination now...thx to ev1 that replied i hv a argument tonite...j/k...but this was informative.

Don't Quite Know What To Make of This

by XJW4EVR in

i had my kids last weekend, and they seemed hapy, and content.

i called a couple of times earlier this week as usual, to see how they are doing, and got the answering machine.

no mystery there.

A Moment Of Reflection?....

by Justice-One in

jw
friends

it has now been almost three months since i completely cut off my association with "the brothers," and told my wife that i did not want to be there when the "kool-aid" came out.

(remember i had been in full fade mode for over ten years.

) at first i got the cold shoulder from the wife for about a month, then things slowly returned to normal.

Hello Justice

After reading your post, it reminded me of how I see my husband seemingly so unhappy...starts an argument everytime he has to go to fellowship with the dubs...and how he can never find anything nice to say abt people in general...I always ask him can you say something nice? After sitting here hours upon hours reading to the point where I'm actually hearing everyones pain, my heart burdens for all the Jdubs even the ex's. He sees me always in a happy state, always smiling, talking to people and they reciprocate...I know for a fact it burns him with jealousy...but 1 day and it wont be long he will Rejoice with me!!! Keep your head up...pray that the scales will be removed from your wife's eyes! Look forward to seeing her happy...and I hpoe I'm not imposing on this website for I see we all have the jdubs incommon....................evette

i always assume that people with real pics for their avatars are pics of that poster.

obviously that's not always the case.

i'm curious about whose pic is really them.

evetteto

Its really me...I take a picture every year on my birthday...but Mother's Say wkend this year I cut my hair of to support my Mom who had Breast Cancer...now I'm almost dreading taking a Hairless Picture. I hv 10 more days to decide if I'll wear a wig or NOT....which is a definite NOT!!
