  Former Witness Friend Tries to " Encourage " Me Back to Meetings

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  so it seemed simple enough.

  i had heard about this former witness friend of mine ( late 1980's to early 1990's ) having gone through a divorce from his pioneer wife 2 years ago.

  long story short- he had been an elder , wife had the jc elders wrapped around her finger - finally the evidence came out she committed adultery and she was dfed.

  So sad and yet so familiar. ...

  Different JW but same excuses so the conversation almost always goes the same direction.

  At least you tried Flipper!

  no one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family.

  Boyzone, well done you for what you said to your work mates. Good job with anti-witnessing.

  I've done something similar with my extended family and some old calls. Just let them in on a couple of bits of insider information (like shunning, blood fractions, etc) and that seems to "inoculate" them against falling for the JWs. And then they tell 2 friends, and their 2 friends tell to friends and on it goes...

  If they - the Governing Body and the R&F JWs - aren't challenged on these sort of things, if we just let articles like this drift down the river without waving them under the noses of the R&F JWs, how will the Org ever be held to account for their disastrous double-speak?

  Here, here Password!
  You know, maybe little or nothing will come of this article but it shouldn't be for lack of trying! Maybe just by making the r&f witness feel a little discomfort in distributing this blatant double-speak will be the tiny crack in the dam.

  Nice one, carla.

  I hope you can manage to get this info to a wide audience. People need to know the double standards as the general public usually only see the nice, shiny happy public side of the WTS.

  I wish they'd realise that the headship idea just doesn't work. Well, maybe for a small minority of people who naturally fall in to those pre-assigned roles. Others, and I'm speaking from experience, just don't fit in to those notions of submissive wife/decisive husband and the pain of trying to can be hard to bare.

  Thankfully that's all behind me now!

  hi, i'm 49 and have been an inactive witness for years now.

  i was baptized at age 16 about 33 years ago mainly to please my parents and to fit in, cuz everyone was doing it.

  and i was able to answer all those questions in the organization book because i have a near photographic memory, as it turns out.

  evidence of god's confidence in the anointed, who "keep following the lamb no matter where he goes.

  16 "my sheep listen to my voice," said jesus, "and i know them, and they follow me.

  what shows that jesus christ completely trusts the slave class?
