How many have wives who think it's the truth?
by drew sagan inthe idea for this thread was sparked by seeing that a lot of guys thought that the latest km article would be a great talking point.
there are a number of jwd poster who have lived through the hell of having a wife who thinks it is the truth.
i am happy to say that i have been through it and survived.

JW calling on me left a card for me after my cutting up Bible Teach brochur
by kwintestal inso i've been having an elderly jw call on my for the last few months, but i haven't seen her for most of the summer because i've been quite busy doing other things.
anyway, the last time she called she left the brochure "what does the bible really teach?
" and asked for me to read it and give my opinion.

sometimes im really next to crying (better: im crying). - Oh boy can I relate with you
. if i ask her for an answer and point out that she has none she blames me for not pushing her studying more because thats why she got lazy and does not study enough to give me an answer. its so hard.
Dude, you and I are living the exact same life right now..........
thats a crazy world we live in. im in fear that this could destroy our marriage sometime. its so stupid. sometimes i even fantasize about suicide. i really feel worthless. its not only my wife. its everything. my whole life is based on the jws. so much pain, so much pressure, so damn lonely :"( it would be bearable if only my wife would support me instead of throwing me to the dirt. i dont think i would commit suicide ever but sometimes death doesnt look THAT ugly anymore. at least for many jws someones death is not as bad as someones deassociation... a apostate is maybe lost forever... a dead person only for a short amount of time. fortunately im not a weak person and i recover quickly from feeling worthless (going for a walk can do wonders). but that cant be healthy...
You have no idea what reading your words does to me. You are describing all of my thoughts to the letter. I have written numerous posts about how i am feeling and your description of your situation is like reading one of my own posts!
Your fight with your wife is how I invision my attempt to talk to my wife... I just havent had the guts yet. (Kudos to you though!!) I know the pain, the gnawing in your chest and stomach, I know that pain. I feel it right now as I type. I know the pressure, the loneliness. You are not alone, I am totally with you on this, we are all here with you on this. I even understand your words about death not seeming so ugly, I totally understand that comment.... do I ever. I know I wouldnt commit suicide either but it seems like an easy way out when you feel there is "no easy way out".
i nearly forgot: im still active. i live a minimum but active jw life. its a lot lieing. but it i cannot stand the consequenzes not to lie yet.
Me too......
thanks for everyone who read this. thank you! --<--@
No, thank you. As much as others are in a similar situation as me, I now know someone in the EXACT same situation as me. You dont know how good it is for me to know that. I am literally holding back tears as I write this.
I hope you continue to post here, PM me any time. I mean that.
Your friend....... Still_in

Have you ever faked a service report?
by Orgull init's only my third day here so, go easy on me.
lol.. seriously, my new doubts have made it harder and harder to go in service.
a few months ago, when a new month rolled around, i realized that i hadn't actually gone in service at all the previous month.

Not only are 10 hours of formal ministry per month a difficult and almost unreasonably high expectation of ordinary people, but a mere 10 hours of true "sacred service" is an unreasonably low expectation of people who claim to be imitators of Christ.
I have never heard a more true statement in my life..............

I always gave the older ones an hour of time and a RV...shame they had to become "irregular" or "inactive" just because they got too old to go door knocking (reduced to 15 min increments when that arrangement came into play).
you know we are always told what a loving arrangement that is to have elderly ones be able to track 15 mins. But if you think about it, would this also NOT cause the number of publishers to decrease as millions of witnesses get VERY OLD??
I would think there are thousands of very elderly ones that can only do a few minutes of time (and thousands more every year as so many get old in "this system"), even a little chat with a nurse and they are one more on the tally in the Jan 1 WT.
So the question is: is this really a loving arrangement or a tactic to keep the numbers looking good at the end of the year???
