Were You Too Submissive To The Elders Etc?

by Broken Promises in

do you look back now and realise the number of times you didn't stand up for yourself?.

when you cow-towed to the elders in order to "be submissive" yet it made you feel ignored or stupid?.

do you revisit situations where you should have stood up for yourself, yet didn't?.

Well, Yes I was.

"Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers"

by EndofMysteries in

2 cor 6:14 .

always been given that scripture about marrying someone who is not a jw or same belief.

while that may be true, i just realized when reading vs 14-17 that was talking about the congregation.

Need advice about JW boyfriend

by tryingtolove in

i have been with my jw boyfriend for about a year and a half.

he was living with his parents when we first started dating, but now we are living together.

his mother knows, but not his father (who is the one who got them into the jw's and is more strict about it).

Twitch, maybe the relationship will work out itself, he needs to come here and discuss his options. Twitch, you were a witness, he has not been to the meetings in a long time.

leaving 'apostate' stuff around on the PC for the kids to see???

by Aussie Oz in

jw
friends

my kids come to visit each second weekend.. if they look at my files they could easy find my massive file on jw's (and i hope they have).

i have recently thought of leaving as a screensaver during the visits something like an old wt cover (say, the 1914 one) or a big ''jwfacts.com" accross it.

or perhaps some wt quote to get them thinking...or asking questions.
