The Bible is full of violence.Why are JW's told to avoid anything related to it then?
by XPeterX inin exodus jehovah killed the egyptians.ahud stabbed eglon in his abdomen,people in a city (don't remember which one) would eat their own children,jw's back then sacrificed their babies to moloch and the list goes on.so why jw's have to avoid books,music,movies which contain violence?

I seemed to always be on a guilt trip until I woke up .. it freed me emotionally and I got on with living for my family.. when she died, my
relationship with dad got better, so start slow with him, a phone call from time to time, then it will build to taking him to a dr appt or out for groc, etc.. just because he lives with her doesn't mean he agrees with her.....
As a sidenote - my SIL has a mom in the truth and she has done the exact same thing - picked some gals in the cong to be her daughters... even tho her real daughter is good in the truth, does all she can to help, the mom puts her down so much that my SIL doesnt dare to say anything as her mom flies into a fit, her son is out of the truth and she looks at him as an angel... and sees him maybe once in three months whle her daughter lives next door and is always there..
I truly believe jealousy plays a part in their minds and they just want to keep you off balance and confused, as well as angry...don't fret
Go figure!

Welcome BurnedOUt, take it slow-- remember - better to win hearts (your wife's) not arguments--- heard that somewhere..
If she has close friends/relatives in the truth -they will be talking to her about you eventually, so take it slow with her, leave the "bullshit" attitude out, just show her how available you are for the family now, wives love that. You are doing good with the kids as you have stated, have some date night's with the woman in your life, show her the care and concern you gave the "flock".

What keeps a JW in the religion? A new angle.
by Hobo Ken inthere are many reasons why but i wonder if there could be a dominant mental mechanism at work?.
i've done a bit of research and written this article on the subject.. the comparisons between stockholm's syndrome and jw behaviour are striking.. what keeps a jw in the religion?.

Very interesting discussion
In my cong alone there are about 15 people who have faded - they can be invited to get togethers, get a slap on the back or handshake when visiting the hall at memorial time -only time you see them, witnesses have coffee with them, laugh and joke about what is going on in their lives, they walk the line--- and I have yet to hear of a shepherding call on various ones...they want the freedom but keep contact just in case..if not df'd or da'd- the pub nbr does not decrease-- how many congregations have similar situations?? What name would you give these ones- they are not Stockholm, nor fearful of any in authority that can alter their lifestyle...they just live life according to their rules

JWs who do a "disappearing act" because of damaging gossip and trouble in the hall
by LongHairGal ini know of a few jw friends who from time to time have to do a disappearing act from their hall.
one jw finds a "reason" to leave town to visit relatives and another jw would go to "visit" another hall in a nearby vicinity.
in all honesty, they are fleeing from the strife in the kingdom hall when they are in the spotlight.
