  Most annoying and irritating comments by JWs

  by whathehadas in

  since i'm still suffering in this crackerjacks organization, these are some of statements that just drive me nuts.

  1. in service: "we are not here to convert you" funny how jws have the true religion but resort to deception and outright lies in order to get people to listen

  2. to other jws: "we won't have to deal with this in the new system" 7 billion evil doers dead and gone, no longer create problems for us

  i haven't been going for a while and i'm still getting them.. in a way it was oddly encouraging to see all the crap i used to have to deal with that i don't have to deal with any more..

  Your thoughtful opinion is requested, please, on a possible proposal to free my wife from JWs

  six years 'jw free', my wife is still in, although she's now nowhere neary as zealous as i was when in.

  for this i'm grateful.. please take a moment to review my current situation as far as my wife's involvement is concerned with our 4, adult male children:.

  my wife regularly contacts my dfd son, invites him and his wife to visit us, along with their 4 year old son, and thinks absolutely nothing of it!

  hello all, i have been lurking, looking, reading, and digesting for around 2 years and it seems the time is right to post.

  i recently had one of those moments at the kindom hall where i found myself looking around thinking "am i the only one who gets it, why doesn't anyone else have this puzzled look on their face?".

  said during is second talk to the congregation "all of our food, our magazines, and all our wonderful books, and videos come from/through these 9 men".

  you have to make a life changing choice.

  you approach the choice one way and your spouse advocates a different approach.

  the nature of the situation removes any possibility of a compromised arrangement.

  my wife encountered a jw today at the uptown laundry where she goes to dry blankets and large items from time to time.. i had just asked her an hour earlier to look around and see if any mags were laying around there - i don't know why.

  i just wanted to see if any major layout changes were taking place with the watchliar and asleep lately.. i have not opened them.

  i am looking though at the cover of the tower - cover title 'how can you choose a good religion?

  Good Religion, eh? Sounds like a Bait & Switch tactic to me...

  in a recent thread, i was basically called out in this manner.. here is part of the quote:.

  mean no disrespect with the following but i have to ask, when you disassociated yourself what did you think would happen?

  did you expect witnesses to suddenly change to accommodate you?

  It's like getting a tattoo, you have it for life, until recently they can remove tattoos. What strikes me is that they say everything is bible based and scripturally supported. Where is shunning and disfellowshipping scripturally supported?

  I Have A New Grandson But He's Very Sick :(

  he was born yesterday with many complications including breathing problems, possible lung underdevelpment, anemia and body temperature issues.

  the poor little guy was hooked up to a breathing tube and tons of monitors.

  because the hospitals couldn't handle some of the problems, they sent him and my daughter to the best hospital in boston last night.

  Aww, min I hate to hear it...I hope he gets better. Remember, children are very resilient and overcome a lot of stuff.
