So my husband got a letter

by Lost his mind in

so, he received a letter that i am wondering if it is one of those open letters that are out there to denote time given.

it starts out with the name of the person sending it, then goes into the spiel...do you know our god's name?

when i was shown what it is, i kind of got upset.

I asked myself why didn't my reverend ever tell us that? I was 24 at the time and had been to many different churches. Not once was any mention made of gods name. Jesus has a name. His disciples all have names. I have a name. Why are they keeping it a secret?

many more paragraphs than I choose to write come along afterwards. So is this a "chain letter" that they send out? Included is a brochure about what is gods name. This letter is typed but signed in the persons handwriting.

they are trying to get him back into the fold. I just want to know if this is a standardized letter that they send out. Sorry if I am making zero sense at all.

In love with a JW girl

by rastapau in

need advise.

i was in a relation with a jw girl for almost three years(im am not jw) and we are so inlove with each other until someone saw us from her congregation and she was disfellowed and that where the oddness happened.

her family and friends are not talking to her anymore, she wants me to stop seeing and talking to her anymore not until i became a baptized jw.

Speaking as a person who has been married to one for the last 28 years, please walk away. You will waste your life on their ideals. So much is banned because the bible supposedly says so. The bible does not, the men in New York do. It is a cult. Run away. Quickly. When you reach my age, you look back and realize that life would have been so much better without the person you are currently attached to. You only live once.

Let's call him brother.

door knocking has its occasional rewards, and if such a " newly interested one" advances to attend the " k.h" he will come in for a lot of complimentary praise.

in fact if he puts his hand up he is referred to us " our friend" .

" i am respected here" newly interested one " says to himself.

Ah, I could speak to the other side of the coin. As a woman, I was not love bombed as my husband was, or maybe I was just more pragmatic and saw through the, um bullcrap. I studied with 3 different women and could not see the value in joining the fairy tales. My husband on the other hand was raised by wolves , as I like to say to him. He had no family structure of what was right and wrong and was easily swayed into the fold. BUT, he was never baptized. He has studied with 4 different men over the last 25 years and wanted to take the plunge 2 years ago. I, the evil woman, put my foot down and said it was me or them. I was lucky that he picked me but he still has the jw mindset. I have pointed out to him the many flaws in their thinking and I hope he won't want to go back. I have made him live life in the last two years, picnics, wine tasting, going to the lake, visiting with friends outside the flock, reacquainting with friends when he was younger, being with family members that aren't in the "truth" etc. and he has begun to live again.

I did get off topic, but I have to say that I asked him pointed questions about doctrine that he could not answer or sometimes thought was odd. I would ask him to ask his instructor and he would not do this because he viewed it as wrong. This was a good statement by him because it was something I could respond to...... How do you learn without questioning? This opened his eyes a little. Sorry to butt in, but I had to say this.

Cantleave I love disturbed. If you have Pandora put them as the "radio" and you will get some awesome music, including five finger death punch. On the other hand I listen to Colt Ford which is country rap, go figure.

Pinot Grigio or Viognier are whites of choice. Cline makes a really nice Viognier.

reds..I love zin but Pinot Noir is nice as well.

and the single flower is a nice touch.

A question for mothers...

by Bob Loblaw in

a human being, your child, was conceived, grew in you, and on one special day you delivered your child into this world.

a truly miraculous thing in and of itself.. when you were a jw, although forbidden to celebrate evil birthdays (sarcasm), did your heart ever ache contrary to watchtower teaching and want to shower your child with love and thankfulness?

i would think that if a religion were to believe in god, then their doctrine should have god somehow responsible for the act of procreation, birth, love, etc.

Lost his mind

I have to say, my husband got a "note" from his sister saying she was so glad he was born, on the date that he was born! Is that not a birthday wish? But please do not celebrate. Really. What is the difference?

Celebrate the love that you have. Children are a most wonderful gift.

I need some advise

by Lost his mind in

following is a letter i am going to send to the entire family both jw and non.

i would like to get your advice on whether i should do it.

my husband has told me before to voice my complaints but i have yet.

Lost his mind

I would like to say Thank You!!! Your advise, all of yours, has been extremely helpful. I can not express this enough. I did not send the letter/email, but deleted it after I let my husband read it. We had a very lengthy talk. It turns out that he would rather keep our marriage than become a JW. He believes that some of their beliefs are true but "scratches his head" at others. He deletes most of the emails he receives without reading them. I did not know this.

I did not realize that my letter had the note of anger in it that some have expressed. My husband said it did also. I am sorry for this because I am not that sort of person.

So now, I will work on my marriage and try to be less suspicious, angry, hateful at times, well a pain in the butt.

Thank you thank you thank you again. The people on here are wonderful!

Thanks all. This has been somewhat depressing. I was hoping for you go girl! But I see your point about the can of worms. I am still pondering.
