  Matt 19:6 - WTB$ preaches the sanctity of marriage but see what happens when one partner leaves the bOrg!

  by punkofnice in

  mrs punk was not a happy bunny when i announced i was leaving the wtb$ as it was all a big farce.. she has been quite rude to me, she walked out one weekend and came back 2 days later from staying with a relative.

  she told me about all the negative reasons i left (attributing the 'evil' to me and none to the holy 7 headed beast the gb).

  she has told the teenage kids they are not to listen to me.. she refuses to talk bible and gives me the 'talk to the hand sign' on the basis she refuses to listen to my 'spiritual pornography' (now there's an appealing thought!!).

  Great thread Punk! So sorry you are going through this. You have such a fantastic sense of humor; it is such a shame that your wife does not appreciate this.

  There are so many miserable marriages in the cong. So many have absolutely nothing in common other than the religion. I only married my husband because he was a regular pioneer as I was. I figured two people serving Jehovah full time would most definately be happy and blessed. This illusion came to a halting crash around day 3 of the marriage.

  what is the claim of the watchtower society as to the source of their authority to create public messages of dire warning?.

  mouthpiece of god.. .

  anointed remnant (faithful and discreet slave).

  New WT and Higher Education...Beware of the logical fallacy in the first sentence.

  by maninthemiddle in

  beware of the logical fallacy in the first sentence, not to mention all the loaded language.. .

  wt 2011-11-15. .

  11 vigilant christians refrain from using the world to the full with regard to higher education.. many people in this world consider higher education an indispensable stepping-stone to prestige and an affluent.

  I think they should get rid of all the people at Bethel that have a college education and only have doctors and lawyers that have been self taught through the Awake.

  I have been DF'ed for 3 years now. I still talk to any JW I see. Usually this is not a problem. I was at my parent's house a couple of weeks ago and one of their elder friends stopped by. We shared a drink and some laughs. If no one sees them then they are usually okay with it. I went to the Memorial this year (thanks to my father giving me his cc to buy a new dress - a real guilt trip). I circulated, visiting with anyone I once knew. They probably thought I was in good standing. I am a social person - NO ONE IS GOING TO TELL ME I CANNOT TALK TO WHOMEVER I SO DESIRE.

  SEX! and the DC Sunday Drama

  by Red Piller in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the sunday drama at the dc was a parallel ancient (joseph in egypt) and modern (jw kid in high school) drama.

  or was it extremely eroticized?

  i've been seeing these my whole life and have never felt this way.. conversation between joseph and fellow prison inmate:.

  Wow! That was a painful 48 minutes of Youtube time. I forgot how absolutely out of touch the Borg is. And the expressions they use...Beloved Rachel, Little Benjamin, Nerd, Sex, Rape and the best one.....Let’s go talk to the principal. It escapes me how I ever thought this organization had a handle on things. Talk about Twilight Zone…
