  wait on Jehovah" mental file

  Love that expression Sappy. So why did we wait? I've asked myself that question and I can remember a time during my study when I stopped questioning and started trusting the FDS believing as I did that it was faithfull to its commission. Having put my faith in the Org when I finaly began to do research, I felt very uncomfortable with what I was learning; that they lied to me partiularly their revised history on 1914 that was one hook that got me in...... that Jehovah had revealed this date to the Bible students in advance

  Come to think of it, I couldn't swallow the claimed fulfillments listed in the Revelations book, What sounded in the bible like earth shattering events that you would think the whole world would witness applied to them . I'm sure I was not the only one who thought this but none of us ever spoke up. How many times was that fairy tale book studied and expected to be taken seriously?

  A factor that is relevant and that needs to be considered is when they had sex or Rather how often. Male sperm die quickly while female sperm can live up to 3 days. So if intercourse occurs the day the woman becomes fertile there is a higher probability that she will conceive a boy ' It is not the same as tossing a coin

  I had a happy marriage for 20years then about a year after I was dis fellowshipped and my wife was publicly reproved the poison began to take hold. An emotional distance that grew worse every day. She would have this look on her face, one that said I was a threat and not to be trusted. Before we went to bed she would say things like "Your not going to rape me are you?" No! I thought, never have before why should I start now. Where are you getting these thoughts? What makes you think I would ? Many mornings I would wake up at 2 or 3 am and go for a drive unable to sleep beside this cold hearted stranger. The Elders were in my bed whispering in my wifes ear "you cant trust him he will harm you he has left Jehovah".

  Today I know your pain I've felt it when I was losing the woman I fell in love with and I was helpless to do anything about it. , Emotionally distraught I sought professional help. It became hopeless and I was advised to move out that it was not safe living in the same house with her So I did The kids chose to come with me the relief was instant I had made a choice I was focused........ was able to concentrate on my work and being Mr Mum making my sons lunch for school. I would wrap the sandwiches in greaseproof paper and put them in a brown paper bag like my mum did when I was young. Life was good again

  I often wonder did she love me or a witness clone. As I said when I was interviewed for a TV pro gramme re the witnesses " When I ceased to be loyal to the WT My wife ceased to be loyal to me"

  Sorry I can't offer you much hope Today There are some success stories but I think not many

  Welcome Maz You said you live in another part of Asia Wouldn't happen to be China by any chance?

  Anyway as others will tell you Your not dealing with a rational mindset. So keep this in mind when responding to your mother. Turn the guilt trip around so she feels responsible for stumbling you. Like Mum I'd really like to believe that Jehovah's people are the happiest and most loving people in the world but I don't feel the love when you call me a murderer. Give her hope that you may return if only she treated you better.

  Never attack her beliefs this is her security. Work within the frame of her mindset be creative Like Mum doesn't the bible say whom Jehovah loves he disciplines that I like the prodigal son may need to learn from experience how bad the world is before I return If she is anxious about how long it will take tell her not to worry to trust in Jehovah and pray that it will not be long

  Get the picture

  Does the Governing Body say only apostates will die at Armageddon?

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of them in ignorance practice things that god's word shows to be wicked.

  if they persist in this course, they will be among those who perish during the great tribulation.----------------------------------------------------------------------------"only jehovah's witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the supreme organizer, have any scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by satan the devil.

  I decided long ago that any God that would support them and do what they expect is an idiot and not worth knowing. I'm currently living in China: over one and a half billion people are going to die cause they never seen much less read a Watchtower ?

  Question re: Rutherford's imprisonment

  by Luo bou to in

  the wt claims it was because of the clergy.

  what i want to know is why would the government imprison them over a religious dispute surely there would need to be something they did that broke us laws some evidence to bring charges of sedition and treason.

  Thanks Yknot I'll check those sources. They like to claim that they are the victims and cry persecution but I suspect for the most part they brought it on themselves

  I disagree with the statement "that you should not speak ill of the dead" If a person was an asshole when they were alive what has changed now that they are dead? Except of course they can't be an asshole any more. I did not know Jaracz personally. but going by the comments so far I would like to offer my conclusion and offer a positive tribute in deference to those that will not speak ill of the dead. I would like to say that it seems to me that Jaracz was very very good at being an asshole
