nojw86,
that is how i got to know alot of Bethelites myself. After meetings on Sundays we would all go over to one of the sister's house. You know the kind of sister who wants to get good grades with the elders. Anyway, this is how I came to know many of them and they would all say that there was nothing like it. I do however know of a couple who actually did leave Bethel for their home in Ohio. They claimed to be blissfully happy but her husband is a young old fart and everyone knows it, even she does. It was just another case of another young sister marrying a Bethelite. I am sure that she is not happy but is just putting on a front.
Oh well, you have some who like that rudimentary life and others who want their own thing. Whatever. Thanks for your reply.

Do all Bethelite marriages end up happy?
by freddi ini just wanted to know if anyone out there knew the stats for bethelite marriages ending happily ever after.
whenever i would visit bethel, it seemed as though all the married couples were in it for life.
i know that marriage is supposed to be until death do you part but we all know that things do occur.

nojw86,
Hi there,
I really had no idea that there are people who really want to get out of Bethel. I guess that they put on such a good front. When I used to visit Bethel, everything was always so hunky dorry. Everyone was always in good spirits. Nothing was ever wrong with the world especially with the sisters in my old cong. who married Bethelite brothers. That seemed to be all that the mothers in our cong. wanted for their daughters. The goal was to marry a Bethelite brother and then all is right with the world. What a false concept uh? -

All Bethelites can't be perfect or is it something that they just keep under the rug? Does anyone know for sure? -

Is the WTBTS racist?
by esther inin australia there are separate congregations for aboriginal witnesses.
the official line is that the nonwitness aboriginals are more responsive to other aboriginals.
that may be so, but that doesn't mean that they should be kept separate for meetings.

bugeye,
if you don't see apartheid as racist then you have a seriuos problem yourself. you must be racist by the post that you entered or are you just trying to get under some people's skin? you do have a problem. -

All Good Things Come to an End!
by RR inwell friends, it's been nice, but just like the society this board was created for, it has deterioted, far worse than h20 or any of the other boards out there, a certain element here continue to bring down this forum to the lowest of lows, and i no longer have the patience to sift through the garbage and hate incited threads to find something worth while contributing too.
so, with those words, i bid you all farewell, and pray one day you find yourselves!.
in christian love,.

welcome jurs,
i am an inactive witness of about twelve yrs myself and i just now started getting over some of the things that were instilled in my mind from the wt. it will not be easy but it is possible. your husband can be of good help to you since he was not involved in the brain melding. cling to your hubby and there is nothing wrong with you clinging to Jehovah within your own heart. He will never leave you at all. i have learned in time that Jehovah loves us no matter what we do. only Hw can read our hearts; wheteher we be murdurers, rapists, burglars, maybe not child molesters, but who am i to judge only Jehovah can. just don't leave him. you don't have to go to a building to worship Him.

scorpion,
i do believe that jesus and all the apostles had long hair. it all depends on the century in which you were born i suppose. who cares about his hair length. i do feel bad for his baby though. very sad. if this is his way out then so be it. he has the money to do anything. too bad all that money can not bring the happiness that it is worth.

by knight ini have read the various posts here an i have my own story to tell i amstill a witness not as active as i used to be but stillfaithful i think the main problem that jws have is that they put c.o's m.s's elders and the like on pedestals and when you do that you set yourself up for a letdown and when that person does something you dont think is right you are letdown but one should not let this block his/her relationship with jehovah.

hi there bonnie,
don't feel depressed because Jehovah has not left you. He will always be in your heart. continue to pray to him although i am sure that you were probably told that once you are disfellowshipped that Jehovah does not hear you anymore. surround yourself, as you have done, with good friends and get on with your life. it will be hard. i know. i have been there. always remember that we leave Jehovah, He never leaves us. so keep on praying to Him. life does go on.
welcome to the board.

hi knight,
i must admit that some of the actions of those in the k.h. hindered my love for Jehovah but i discovered that you do not have to be in His service to love Him or for Him to love you. i have been inactive for about 11-12 yrs yet i still love Jehovah in my heart and i know that He still loves me.
peace
