  How many?

  by lavendar in

  i was wondering how many non-jw's (like myself who have never been a jw) there are on this board?

  i've found this board to be of great help & support because our son is currently being brainwashed into the cult by his wife and kh members.

  i was just wondering how many other people are in the same boat as myself.. also, are you making any headway in your loved one's life?

  Hi Lavendar

  Not really sure of your son's story but if he is married to a baptised JW and he is not one (baptised), and yet he is a 'good' husband, she has no grounds to leave or divorce him, in fact I would think rather she would be encouraged to stay with him and try to 'win' him over by her good christian conduct - at least that was certainly the case when I was a JW and in the area I live in...............so maybe you should try to discourage him from getting baptised and tell him you have done some research about the organisation that lets him know she should not be threatening him with a 'join me or lose me' type scenario................then perhaps you could try to gently encourage him to visit a site like this for himself, using the argument that at least he should check out the other side of the story..........you could tell him its not what your trying to tell him but the experiences of many ex witnesses, with a vast array of stories from varied backgrounds........

  I know I am slightly off your thread topic, but I cant see how she can be threatening him with some form of seperation if he does not become a JW unless it is on the grounds of physical harm, adultery or a threat to her spiritual strength.......

  Good luck

  Non-Religionists- Why All the Peace, Love, and Understanding?

  why has your disavowing organized, if not all, religion made you so open and happy and tolerant?.

  aren't you concerned about what effect this may have on you and your loved ones?

  MOUTHY NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS AND/OR SUPPORT

  our dear mouthy is really having a tough time right now and needs our support and/or prayers.

  as some of you may know, she's already lost 3 of her children in death and the other one to the borg.

  in the last couple of days, she's had to worry about her 2 year old great-granddaughter being in the hospital with an illness and yesterday, her daughter had a suspicious mole removed from her back and was told there is a lump in her breast which has to be biopsied.

  I think maybe we are all being a bit too harsh on Vinny................

  It is obvious from one of his later posts that he spends an enormous amount of time in the sea and i think we may be overlooking the possibility that he is some kind of land sea animal, perhaps nearing the point of extinction and that he is only part evolved............

  this is the first time i've been on here in about a month, though trev has been posting some days, so i've been able to keep up with everyone's news.

  thankyou all so much for the well wishes you keep sending me, they all mean so much.

  apart from my other problems, i've had a really painful back injury for the last few weeks, which has made it impossible for me to sit comfortably at the pc.

  So sick to death of the whole 'find Maddie' campaign - now includes Pope

  i am sure most of you are now aware of the missing british girl madeleine mccann, who was abducted from portugal a few weeks ago.

  the media is making a massive thing about this, and i am just wondering why.

  they say 70,000 kids go missing each year in the uk alone - but this case seems to be unique in that it is so widely reported.

  I have to say, if it was my daughter, and regardless of my own stupidity (which I am sure they are beating themselves up over beyond our wildest imagination) I would use every possible means I could to get her back............and whilst I agree their chances are slim if I were in their shoes and could rip the world apart to find her I would.

  Dare I suggest that if because of the huge media coverage one of us were actually able to identify her and have her returned to her parents, our criticism of this may be forgotten?

  And there in Vinny I think you have identified the gulf that exists between atheists and believers. Your faith gives you a hope. A hope that extends beyond death. Death is the biggest common fear shared by human kind. And because of that fear we seek answers. Religions are able to exploit that fear..........they seek to give hope and answers, but at the same time they seek to control their members through that fear.

  You choose to belive or have faith in a 'God', without factual proof. And nobody should criticise you for that choice. It makes your life more comfortable, it makes your fears easier to deal with. And who knows you may even be right.

  But the fact is, and it is a HUGE fact that nobody actually knows. Nobody knows how life came to be. Nobody knows if the bible is inspired of God. Nobody knows if Hindu. Jew, Christian or Muslim is right. Nobody knows if there was ever a time of nothingness. Nobody knows if at one point conditions were right for life to begin subject to forces of the universe, and that cause and effect has brought us from that first spark of life to what we are today.

  You talk about a these 'amazing things coming together at one time' and so I have to ask to what you refer. If nothing else surely science has taught you that life has not always been the same as we know it on this planet. That over many millions of years plants, animals etc have come and gone and that life has evolved in line with the very cause and effect cycle that you use to support a precise beginning.

  Again I repeat to you prove that there was a time of nothingness. Remember that such a time needs only to exist in the minds of believers to support their concept of a creator.

  I have to say your biblical explanation of why God allows bad on the earth was astoundingly similar to the teachings of the JWs. It feels like you left the religion but not the teachings.

  And whilst I can respect you for your beliefs, I will say this, you speak of what the bible teaches you to do and I quote your words 'help others come to know him' and I have to say that over the past few days your repeated talk of giving atheists a spanking and your derogatory comments have done nothing to further this cause. Instead you have come over as rude, fundamental, arrogant and downright nasty!!!!
