howdy ya'll....as of earlier this year a judge approved a custody order that allows me to use my better judgment in regards to time sharing with the x.... however, because my children choose sports and academic "endeavors" (as the x refers to it);he chooses to treat them like the enemy and shuns both my 8yr &16 yr old.... while i dont mind that i have them 365 days a yr. its really affecting my lil one.
we have attempted to call ,email and text .
however he is totally refusing communication.
I agree with mrsjones, you don't need to deal with the KH politics it will only frustrate you and will accomplish little. I remember when I was an elder/PO and congregation members would bring their family problems to me I would tell them to deal with it on their own and sometimes I would casually mention it to the person the complaint was levied at.
You will not find justice in a Kingdom Hall.
grandma is concerned about my spirituality, worried i don't use lingo like "faithful slave", "annointed elders", "waiting on jehovah, endure the bafflegabbing, prevaricating lying friends" .
"you speak too much about love, use jesus of nazareth's name too much!
you speak the way apostates speak!
They don't like Jesus because he, or his personna in the Bible, would not agree with the way the WTBTS Inc. is doing business. He would not agree with the way the group they foster, (rank and file members of the wt society) have been educated and he would not be happy with the injustices put upon their own.
I of course don't know this for sure. I don't pretend to be all knowing and self-righteous. I have no answers other then intuition and my intuitive thinking tells me that if there we're a Jusus and if he was divine and if he truly cared about people he would not like an organization like the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of whatever and on and on. Inc.
Does this mean i'm apostate?
they've df him...we all were following the judicial of raypublisher....jwstruggle....eric and we all are now awaiting the full video with full details.. this is a happy but hard time since he still has family in...let's try to strengthen him!
he surely needs it now.
give him encouraging words/pictures/videos!.
Wow Ray, that's great. Wish I could be Df'd or Da'd. It becomes so much easier to leave it all behind. To coin a mafia phrase, "once your in you can't quit" so the only way out is to be dead. To them, you are dead. May you rest in peace. You know that you are right and you know that they are bull feces. So enjoy your rightness. Enjoy life....
consider the popular jw myth: be careful what you bring home from a yard sale, it might have come from someone who has ties with witchcraft, magic, satan, etc.
said item thus would be an instrument the demons can use to get into your home and harass you.
so be careful of that teacup, tennis racket, or shirt you just purchased!.
What medications is he taking?
Have any of his medications changed recently?
big news - i met with the elders last night.
they were not arrogant and they were not mean spirited, but of course we all know they also would not budge from the jw brainwashed beliefs they are sworn to uphold.
i let my light shine, and within two minutes of sitting down with them was no longer nervous.. .
They may get the CO involved. Be prepared for another long meeting where they will prepare many quesions for you to answer. Make sure that you don't come off sounding like a ranting crazy person to them. This is hard to do because they pretty much think most people who are apostates are mentally diseased. Always stay calm relaxed and only state facts.
You did great on first meeting. You gave them many of things to think about and research maybe you've reached some of them with logic and reason.
Good Luck
great video.
this is how we are viewed by outsiders.
there's no fooling some people!.
Great video, loved the part about shunning people who don't shun people who are already shunned.
Hard to pick just five.
i just looked to see if this video is still on the official jehovah`s witness website "keep yourselves in gods love " ( deaf and sign language # 22 ) and it is.
notwithstanding whether it is appropiate for signers to be explicit or not, depending on what signage they use, the real question should be, why are the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses so concerned that their members are masturbating or not.it is not an issue in the bible .why are they delving into something that quite frankly does not concern them ?.
smiddy.
One thing that alway annoyed me about the Watchtower's definition of masturbation is that they call it "self abuse". This makes it sound like such a terrible thing.
i took a walk down to the corner store to find something to help out my slight hangover from watching the cowboys and my poker night.
i made it half way down the block and there they were!
two older couples out door-to-door.. they seemed to be having a pow-wow in front of a block of apartments.
That's great, did you ever find Sparlock?
I saw him up in the trees in my neighborhood last week
jesus said that the true religion would be evident in the lives of the people who practice it.
by their fruits you will recognize them, he said.
every good tree produces fine fruit.
Dear Mr. 5th column,
Please explain to us why your here.
According to the Watchtower Society's interpretation of the scriptures, which you totally believe in, you are NOT supposed to be here. Your leaders have warned you about having intercourse with apostates (there are apostates on this forum) I presonally don't care if you want to be a member of an EX Jdub website, however I would like to know how YOU personally justify being a part of our apostate conversations. You do know that we are "mentally diseased" right?
You could catch something from us.
Just be warned
true freedom.
law that belongs to.
what is true freedom?
I love this forum and especially Blondie's comments you will not hear at the watchtower indoctrination, I mean study.
Often I would think how ridiculous many of these articles were but could never voice my thoughts about them (no freedom to speak your mind)
