  New Update On Hubby - He said he doesn't care what the society says about..

  people being destroyed at the big a. i told him how tramatic it was for me that i was told basically just everyone would die around me would die... that the days would be just as in noah's day and in the "my book of bible stories" there was even a baby would die and that my mom said that even babies would die at a because jehovah new that they would grow up to be just like there parents... i told him that the society said this also and this is probably where my mom got it from.... he said, "i don't care what the society says, jehovah is loving and our loving god will judge us the way that he wants and not the societys way.

  then he just held me and said to pretend i was that little 6 year old and he said, "now, your mom is telling you that jehovah loves everyone and will save everyone he can, just not really evil people... he loves you and everybody very, very much...".

  i fell asleep last night for the very first time knowing that somebody i love and that's close to me was on my side with this issue and against the society on this... it just took yet another huge weight off me... .

  my daughter goes to a school where one of the office personel is a jw.

  my hubby is df'd i haven't been to a meeting in 3 years.

  when we go into the office and have to talk to her she directs all of her responses to me even if my husband is the one that asked the question.. once my husband went in there with my daughter and this person didn't direct her answers to my husband who asked the question, but to my daughter who was just tagging along.. this is stupid.

  Now you might try buying a book on cults and leave it in your favorite hiding places, the couch... that may make his mission to the dark side complete...LOL! Good job Cognac, I hope all works out well for you.

  lol, thanks Dawg... I just might try that... lol Or, I could just get a book on sex... Then he won't think about anything JW for a long time!!! My now current goal is to distract him as much as possible so he gets as little brainwashing as possible... So, I'm starting to send naughty text messages during the meeting... lol When he wants to study, I suddenly want sex... Works wonders!!! (I wonder if he's starting to catch on to that, cause he's been starting to study more only when I'm home and is perfectly willing to stop and forget about it the rest of the night... lol)

  Does weed count?

  If so, I tried a couple of puffs as a teenager... Didn't do anything for me at all...

  we have such an interesting group of people from around the world on this board.

  it might be interesting to have a thread where you discuss a hobby, something interesting that happened in the past, somewhere you've been, etc.. not deep, dark confessions - just interesting stuff.. .

  * i have travelled into all 48 american states that are not named alaska or hawaii.. * for the past few years, i have had a slight walking impairment due to a form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis.

  Every year nearly 40,000 are disfellowshipped . How many disassociate ?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  every year nearly 40,000 members are disfellowshipped mostly due to ''conduct unbecoming a christain.

  '' in a 10 year period,that would be close to 400,0000 members.. does anyone know if the wts know the numbers who disassociate themselves?

  do they know the number of ''faders''?

  before they make leaving impossible and force everyone into stagnation traps that will make the 1990s look like fun and games.
