Marriage after Armageddon

by nemail in

i've been a jw all my life and am thoroughly convinced this is the truth.

but there is one thing that i just don't understand.

many jw's believe that people who get resurrected in the new system will not get married.

I do not wish to engage in a doctrinal debate about whether or not people will get married after armageddon, however you have come here for that and I implore you to keep an open mind and not automatically assume the worst about people.

People would not waste time on this board if they new nothing or had no history with the witnesses. Do not judge people here by comments they make and misread humour as misunderstanding or lack of knowledge until you have gotten to know their personalities.

Good luck in your quest for truth.

Regards

Daisy

My mother told me today that the end is so close

by TooBad TooSad in

she has been a faithful jw for over 50 years.

she was taught that the end was coming in the late 50's.. today she said that the terrible conditions in the world today prove that the end is near.

i told her that i. think that conditions in the world were a lot worse during ww1 and ww2 and it looks like things.

Princess Daisy Boo

If your mom says it and my mom says it then it must be true...

I hate any major news event because discussing it brings about the inevitable "signs of the times" speech. The UK has an earthquake... yip you got it... sign of the end. Y'all should try living in a country with a crime rate as high as ours... everyday is a day closer!!!

Elders in their 20's?

by Princess Daisy Boo in

my little sister called me just now.

exciting news - stop the presses - her husband has been made an elder.

she is 27 and he is 26... is that not a little young to be an elder?

Princess Daisy Boo

I think it is a joke to have a 26 year old elder. I most certainly would not if I were still a dub go to someone like him for advice - I mean he is a nice kid and all but the fact remains - he is a kid! He and my sister have no idea about life as they pioneered whilst living at home until they got accepted into Bethal.

And no, he doesn't know anyone - as far as I can tell - he is not from a particularly influential family and they were sent to the congregation that they attend bu Bethal so who know!!!

I dont recall elders being elected so young - any ideas...?

(Random Thought: Does baby sister being a bethalite and an elder's wife make up for apostate big sister?)

easter is coming soon and i am so excited!

i have not celebrated easter in over 17 years.

what a relief to be able to enjoy the worship of jesus and to be so grateful and thankful for his sacrafice.

Princess Daisy Boo

Yay, chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate, oh and some hot cross buns as well... Yay - I love easter.... as for the religous stuff - No, I will not be doing anything of that nature!

I wonder if Mom will invite me to the memorial this year?

Part 2: OMG - I did it - I told my Mom and Dad how I feel...

5 days after the big showdown with my mom, she called me today.

well she is a bigger person than me - i certainly did not have the guts to do it.

we made a bit of small talk and then she brought up saturdays discussion.

Princess Daisy Boo

I really dont feel like I have progressed at all. You see, my kids are now of an age where they can talk about the holiday etc, and we do celebrate all the holidays so this is going to be an issue again and again, .

I am so frustrated by the closed minds that they have. It really and truly is like bumping your head against a brickwall when you try to reason with them. My mom is not willing to belive that the UN thing ever even happened and even when I told her I have proof off a non apostate website, she was not interested in seeing it.

I have no idea where to from here. A small part of me had thought that maybe after Saturday, things would come to a head completely and instead we have just put a lid on things and not dealt with them for now. But then again, my family has a history of doing that.

It is so sad that there love for their child is conditional!

Something strange in my Pears

by LouBelle in

jw
friends

for 2 days now the most bizarre thing has happend.

i go to lunch and have my usual pear after my crackers - half way through the pear one of my mates said something funny but not that funny - i was in hystifical fits of laughter (like i'd smoked a fat joint) the tears were running down my face.

today, fininshed my pear and the same mate brought up yesturdays scene - and that was me, but worse off - and the thing i was laughing about really wasn't that funny - but tears rolling down - man it was the most fantastic 2 laughs i've had this year.. i think my pears have been spiked..

Princess Daisy Boo

Tell u what Lou - I will pop off to woollies this pm and buy me some pears and see what happens to me!

Princess Daisy Boo

I basically faded over ten years ago - I stopped going to meetings when I moved out of my parents home. I have managed to maintain a semblance of a relationship with them in this time by mainly ignoring Mom's preaching to me. This was the first time that I really voiced my opinions on the whole JW issue.

As for the definition of apostates, isn't that just typical of the JW mindset? They will never give credit to people having made informed decisions about leaving the org... no they had to have been sinners who were disciplined and now are bitter... Its so ridiculous! What she is not getting is that I am unashamedly an apostate, and I was never reproved or DF'd - I just left!

I guess that by saying "dont close the door", my mom was saying that if I were to DA myself, they will shun me completely so lets keep things as they are. I dont really to DA myself anyway since I havent been to a meeting in so long, I dont really consider myself a witness anyway!

I am a little irritated that Mom was not even willing to look at the UN letter - like that in itself would be apostacy. I dont really hold out hope of changing their minds at any point in the future - they are quite zealous.
