  by FreeWilly in

  1. social
  2. family

  longtime lurker and occasional poster here.

  i pretty much have already made up my mind, but it seems like alot of good advice can be found here so here goes.... me and my soon to be ex-wife were active duds, rp's, bethel, etc.

  we faded together and are now completely out.

  Hey freewillie,

  Reading your post was like reading my journal. It's been 7 1/2 yrs since I divorced my wife. I couldn't take it any longer. She loved the attention of other men. She would flirt with them and say things like "they were just friends" ect. ect. Well, I came home from work one day and found her in the closet on the floor crying hysterically. She said she was raped at work ( she worked at a golf course ) Come to find out, she admitted to having sex with her co-worker because she liked him and he understood her. ( I had my suspicions when she didn't want to go to the police to report the crime ) I later found out, the reason why she was crying so hysterically in the closet was because she knew I would not put up with her behavior anymore. I did not need to understand her any longer. She needed to understand ME.

  I got tired of all the bullshit. I had no more sympathy left. Her behavior over the years was not acceptable and she has run out of chances to get her act together. Not long after that last stunt, I divorced her. She contact me last june for the first time since our divorce and she is still singing the same tune. She said that she is getting divorced from her current husband and wants to go live with her boyfriend. I guess some people never learn.

  Hi moreisbetter.

  Trust has to be earned. Also there are different degrees of trust. What you say to one person, you may not say to another. Let your Gut be your guide.

  Come on! NOTHING is Going To Refrom the WT!

  this whole "reform" nonsense is driving me up the wall.. nothing is going to "reform" the wtbts.

  nobody is going to "reform" the wtbts.. crying out loud, be realistic about this.

  we have a group of men who have at least some faith & belief that what they do is "divinely" approved, and they have 6 million suckers who follow.

  That much is true. Nothing will reform the Watchtower. They've been at this deception for over 100 years and have become very skilled at it. With an arsenal of lawyers and public relations people, their "Think Tank" has not come across any problem that hasn't been solved through the use of previous tactics. While using there most potent weapon, Information Control, they see to it that this deception continues. I am not for reform. I'm for education. Education that teaches Dubs and Non Dubs about the tactics of this destructive cult. The Watchtowers biggest enemy is the internet and the liturature they print.

  I have valued this forum as a place to gather with others to share thoughts,hopes and dreams. At times I may have expressed anger and used a few choice words. Please accept my appologize for that. While here, I have learned a lot and I hope that I have contributed something as well. I would like to say that I have nothing but deep respect for all those who were at the Silent Lambs march and for all those who supported them in spirit. We were many little Davids against the big Goliath. The WBTS is nothing but an EVIL Book publishing Co. disguised as a religion. Many are being made aware of that now, thanks to the internet and sites like this one.

  I will continue to wage " spiritual warfare " on the Watchtower in stealth mode until they are fully exposed for the evil they are.

  Thank You Simon for providing us with an enviorment in which we can voice our opinions. ( something that we weren't allowed to do in the Organization. without repercussions )

  Best Wishes

  Let's Blame Ray Franz For Everything!!!

  2. friends

  i continue to read how franz is to blame for every wrong because, after all, he was on the governing body and he had to know everything that went on.

  some here say, "let's drop this issue".

  these same ones continue to bring it up.

  This is one of the reasons why I don't post as often as I use to. To start a thread that is going to incite people bashing is not very productive. That's too bad, there are many fine people on this forum who's opinions I respect. ( even if I don't agree with them ) All of us has had our share of shit in the borg and it may take years of struggling to come to terms with things.

  Please remember this, freedom of expression is a beautifull thing. So be carefull of those you criticize if you first have not walked in there shoes!!

  People bashing sucks

  being a jehovah witness, did you feel obliged to have a 4 door car?

  once i bought a 2 door car, and everyone was looking at me as if i commited a crime.

  i then reasoned with them saying, "didn't jesus send his deciples by groups of 2?".

  I had abused alcohol for years while I was in the borg. When I left, my counselor recomended S.M.A.R.T. RECOVERY as an alternative to A.A. He had good insight cause I had a problem with the "god" thing. I found this has worked very well for me. I know they have a website but I don't have the adress. It's been almost 5 years since I last attended one of their meetings.

  El Kabong,

  That sick feeling in your stomach sucks when you anticipate a lay-off. I survived 2 of them in the last 2 months and I'm still on edge. I feel like a cat with 7 lives left. Good Luck, I hope you make it through.
