Did she marry young and do all the spiritual things so that now she's pursuing her lost youthful independence?
yup
And now that Sis doesn't have to be the proper MS wife, she's starting to do the things she wants to do.
yup, again...

8Do you remember how I told you my sister almost got me d'ffed???
by cognac inwell, it's been a shocking turn of events around here... her ms husband just got publicly reproved and she's been out partying a lot without him.
and i mean going to clubs to dance with other evidently not so "spiritual" jws... i don't really know what's going on with her.
not sure what her motive is - depression, wanting to just live a life, or avoidance of what's happening???.

OTWO - It's not that. She made it clear that it has nothing to do with there marriage and doesn't even seem to know all the details. She did state that she couldn't believe and didn't ever think somebody would ever form a JC over whatever it was...
I think the elders were looking for something... Not sure though...

It's to bad that those who are so self-righteous fall of there plateau... Actually, maybe not. Maybe she's going to get an amazing wake-up call. I hope so... I just hope she doesn't really screw up her life in the process...

Should JWs in banned lands be going underground?
by cognac inon the one hand, daniel still worshipped god the way he was before when it was law that he wasn't supposed to.
on the other hand, it is said in the greek scriptures to flee the land if people go against you when preaching.. so, to me this would mean that jws should go to where people would be receptive to the message if they can.
however, if they jws don't flee the city then they should follow as daniel and continue what they were doing before - publicly going from house to house and to the meetings.

It was just funny to me how they emphasized so much at the DC what Daniel did and how he kept on doing what they he was doing and yet it evidently didn't dawn on them that JWs don't do that...

Well, at least to the meetings.

divorce
by reedoll inmy husband is studying with the witness and attending the hall.we are seperated and 10 days after i left he moved a woman in.
he says he can't divorce me i have to divorce him.
i am ill and i need his insurance ,my insurance will not go into effect till 12-2010!!!!

First of all, don't divorce him if you need his insurance.
It seems to me that he wants to divorce you before he gets baptised because if he waits until after he's baptised then he can't divorce you until one of you cheat on the the other.
Don't let him bully you. What he's joining is a cult anyways.
Btw, welcome!

My Boyfriend's not a Witness...
by Hikaru inalright, with my last post it should be obvious i'm in conflict...if it's not, then yeah.. my boyfriend is not a witness.
he understands that witnesses can't marry or date non witnesses.
but i guess could say we've been stalling...looking for a solution a gray area to that black and white situation...but with time getting as it is...stalling doesn't work anymore.

Hik - Ren got the scripture I was trying to think of. Also, Acts 16:31 says that if you believe your whole household will be saved.
Clearly, though Hik, you have a lot of very real, strong feelings. Why don't you go over why you feel the way you do and maybe you can sort through some of it. It might even help start forming a love for God.
For example, some might be scared of the big A because JWs are the only ones who do the preaching work on a huge, global scale. Therefore, what they say about the big A has to be correct, right??? NOPE!
So, if you put that in a new topic, you can get some help in answering your questions and hopefully live more of a peaceful life. We are here to listen and help but you got to be able to talk it out to get that help...

I'm back... Updates about hubby...
by cognac inturns out, he really doesn't seem to like anything spiritual.
he hasn't been to a meeting in weeks.
we went out with a bunch of jws the other night and at the end he told me he was pissed they brought spiritual things up.

Thanks so much everyone! I hope your right about him being on his way out. I really think he's just there because of friends... I was very surprised that he didn't like the spiritual talk myself...
It was funny, because when it was brought up he tried asking them a question he believes the society has the wrong info on, and they just said, "Tell us when you find the answer". He probably didn't want to say that he did find the answer and he thinks the society is wrong, lol.
I'm thinking he's realized that the spiritual talk can only go one way. You can't disagree with anything. Makes for very obnoxious conversations...

Hey hik - I sent you a PM. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there's a scripture that talks about if one mate believes and the other doesn't. The one that doesn't will be saved anyways because the mate believes. I can try and find it if you want...

Turns out, he really doesn't seem to like anything spiritual. He hasn't been to a meeting in weeks. We went out with a bunch of JWs the other night and at the end he told me he was pissed they brought spiritual things up. He said he just wanted a beer and doesn't like it always shoved down his throat...
He believes spirituality is simply the way we live - that's it... Of course, he can't bring himself to come here... He goes to some meetings simply because he has friends there.
He just wants to live an easy life. Nothing dramatic.
I on the other hand, am dramatic. I want to bring the BORG down, lol... But, I will do so calmly, lol... Don't want to stir the hubby up!
