you no longer believed that the watchtower organization was the truth, and that you were no longer going to go to the meetings or service?.
and a followup question... what was the response?.
I knew my ex would never, ever leave WT land. After 20 years of marriage I said " I am through with the marriage, the religion and by the way I am taking full custody of the girls so that they are not raised another minute in this cult"
He now has a super dub for a wife - so he is happy. The girls and I have a very nice life - so we are happy. NO REGRETS!
i've been a very naughty punk and am hoping a good looking babe will spank me.....any offers?
ahem!
away from desired fantasy and to reality...........(but you can pm me...wink wink).
You are too funny Punk! This is my last post Mr. Punk for 10 days. See you when I return to the land of the living.
many of us needed time to get away from this religion.
i took the course of fading and it's worked pretty well for me.
after i saw sooooo many silly rules being enforced, i needed to get out!.
What kind of "example" was he?
The best kind! He forgot that he had a wife and kids - so we slid under the radar for a long time!

i was just reading a funny thread posted by fallen_princess about stupid jw directives and something about seat saving came up....it reminded me of how i foiled the crime of seat saving at conventions....i would just save every other seat and it usually worked saving every third seat....i mean who walks in and picks a seat where you have to sit next to sombody else??
?...............i loved breaking rules i guess..................oompa.
10 dollars to get in, 20 to get out.

Blondie, either way, it was so stupid and it caused much stress and sadness.

This incredibly stupid rule by the GB caused more fighting and tears in my marriage than anyone could imagine. I had a big family in the org that would all sit together at assemblies and conventions. I wanted to sit with my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, nieces, nephews etc. They were all so much fun. My ex insisted that since we could not ride together we could not sit together because GB says. So I would sit alone in the balcony with my dull ex feeling absolutely miserable, and he would be seething that I would even consider breaking GB's LAWS.
It was like a mini-holiday that my family enjoyed, and I could only look on.
i remember one time when i was about 17 years old, i wanted to arrange a costume party for the young brothers in the congo around my age.
i suggested it to one of my friends and was told that the elders had advised against it because it could be construed as pagan and masks have their roots in demonism.
of course, i was never shown any biblical proof of this but just that response took the wind out of my sails and i decided to just not go through with it.
I could not save seats for my elderly parents to sit with me at assemblies, unless they rode in the same car with me.
i've always felt that its only a matter of time before the watchtower cracks down on football (american, although soccer seems like its also referenced).
its been one of the few things jw's can do, which means it has slipped under the radar since as we know, there are very few things that are not frowned upon or banned in watchtower world.
we know that almost 99% of movies are wrong according to the standards of the watchower, and this is again mentioned in this article, but it seems like also football is in the cross hairs.
Oh Crapola - Do not tease me - they are my Gods!!
Have tickets to go seem them next month
