I new to here. my wife is a JW im not i support her. used to sleep @ meetings.after being here i listen, really listen. like last night meeting, speaker reads about Jesus being fine shepard..fine elder comments how he (elder) knows the sheep. wait a minute are you Jesus? its didnt say a@@hole elder is shepard.. i snicker to myself...wife says whats wrong.. I laugh to myself..shes not ready for the truth.. then same elder does local needs..its about giveing more cash to WTS for mags. I know it s for abuse settlements.. my wife knows to..she say "ohh boy" This jerk says "u kids spend $18.00 for a cd.. how about the WTS cds.. like the cost of a cd isnt like 1cent. what a idiot..so this place has made me wise in many ways..also i feel like im not alone..and thats the best part..

Blood doctrine not preached in Bulgaria?
by song19 ini was reviewing the following youtube video about the blood issue with jws.. .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptqz3ktbuni.
at around 2 minutes the issue arose about how jws were able to become a registered church in bulgaria that the jws agreed not to preach the blood doctrine.

I know this makes no sence, but my wife says she will leave the JW's if they somehow change the blood thing. she believes that its "in the bible". i tried to allpy reason, but that didnt work very well, does anyone think they may totally flip on this.. I HOPE SO !!!!!!

well my wife is a uber witness. when my kids were little and they were sick i would never have to go. how sick is that? hoping someone feels sick or has a big homework assignment. this has gone on so long and i feel so trapped. just gonna suck it up and look out the window. and pray for a power outage.

Hey Y'all,
last nite was the bookstudy. i used to coment a bit when i felt like it. never at the hall though. anyway 1 paragraph was about catholic chruch and AID's (what a stupid,stupid reasoning that is..but i digress) so the conductor starts spouting about child abuse. my wife looks at me a smiles.. my hand shoots up.. not sure what i was gonna say.. didnt get called on. afterward she asks what i was gonna comment. i said i wasn't sure but i wouldn't embarrass her. i asked 1 of the elders about the abuse settlement and he said that there were no settlement that he was aware of but it wouldn't suprise him. i am wondering if i should forward the CNBC link to him. any thoughts on that?

my wife is very intelligent thats the thing. the hold is strong. i sometimes feel like the only way out is to leave her, and thats NOT an option. you just want to shut your mind off. i guess thats what they want. i have never said this out loud so to speak. so at least i feel someone is listening, even if its digital.

I have always been very supportive of my wife. and still am..i go with her to meetings, assemblies, etc. mostly sleep. i dont have a personal issue with the R and F. she was born into this so i knew goin in i guess. i appreiate the help. and i will try some of the things posted. esspically the brick removal. i just think life would be so much better without the whole JW thing. its funny how much you repress your feeling then its out. it felt good but not so much now. since i have given in so much shes just suprised by it all. not fair i guess.

well the first reaction was its all lies.. apostates.. i always felt WTS played it fast and loose with 1914. but she feel that the elders may have not told if abuse, but that the brooklyn would NEVER knowing hide abuse reports. I am kind of lost right now. i went too far too fast. not sure how this will play out. i understand the pull of the org. and haven't thought this whole thing out very well. its like a brick wall between us now.
