some of my christian co-workers have related to me how jesus has spoken to them.
one of the comments that i remember specifically, was this:.
"jesus put it on my heart to [take a certain course of action].
First problem is that the creator of the universe does not LIVE in this universe, soooooo, how does he make contact? So, let's pursue that and see where it takes us.
Happy guy not wanting to ruin a good story but I would like to respectfully suggest you read christian theology on the nature of God (eg. omnipresence and also that God would not be God if he was constained by any boundaries) and not JW thinking and then come back to us

Thanks Leavingwt but I've not only heard them all but objectively considered them
.
here is your chance to complain.. what is really bothering you and what would you like to see happen?.
go on, let it out; let it all out.
I can't really think of anything that bugs me enough to complain...... anyway what's the point.....you going to fix it?

At the risk of being shot down by the skeptics here I will relate one experience. I was driving my truck when I was overcome by grief thinking about the loses I was going through choking back tears so my offsider would not notice when I felt this presence like I was being hugged and a voice not audible and not simply a thought in my head said its OK Bob we can do this. No I was not on drugs and if anything I am very skeptical about Christians telling me that Jesus talks to them and tells them what to do
with the word generation written on it so he can demonstrate to the cong during the april wt how the meaning of the word generation can be stretched.
and thanking them for giving me the boot so i don't to have believe this insult to any thinking person's intelligence.
Yeah Teel They hate being made fun of especially when they realize we have good reason that they can see how ridiculous it is themselves. Not that they'd admit it. I once sent them crowns made from gold paper with Prince ............... ( their name)on the front and all the false dates written around the sides. This was when the WT declared them princes

i know some posters here went through or are going through some painful things right now because of no longer believing when they have a husband / wife that still does.
others were able to free the minds of their spouse.
i'm assuming the latter is a lot more rare.. anyone that wishes to share their story, please do.. i'm looking to pass the info on to someone who doesn't totally believe, but may marry a jw.
Went down the tube I was now a threat to her "Cognative Dissonance " Should she believe what the WT says that I must be evil or her own experience living with me I was still the same person she married but she could not accept that.
made me cry after i sent it to him...he and mom are in great health....super fit....late sixties....and he finally said what i did a few years ago basically....but to hear your dad say it....the long long term superwise superfine superlogical elder...... .
"son...i have finally decided that i will die before this system ends".
i mean geeze....even saying "this system"......it is sooooo much a cult buzzword....where the hell do they get that anyway?
What's the big attraction to having to live through it? The dead are spared having to experience horrific calamities. What am I missing here?
No sex if your resurrected
captain code named sd-7.
self-destruct code 0-0-0-alpha-gamma-1.
this will be my final entry on jehovahs-witness.net.
SD7 You have every right to be angry you were deceived as we all were But your directing that anger at yourself I can't blame myself for being conned and I doubt that anyone here does. We lay the blame where it belongs with the GB and vent accordingly
I also felt suicidal my sense of security was gone what I had based my whole live on was a lie and I realized I could lose everything that was dear to me. Sure I contemplated suicide but it passed and it will for you.
Now about the wife her sense of security is threatened she is shit scared be there for her. Don't do anything that threatens it play the Elders game The Org conned you you can con them. Like brothers I wish I had your faith in the FDS let them relate their bullshit reasons and then say Well I never thought about it that way. Get the picture? Premarital sex? you confessed to Jehovah and you believed he had forgiven you If they believe your just weak and don't challenge them they won't give you the boot. They call it theocratic warfare ( don't tell the truth when its not to your advantage) It can be a lot of fun outsmarting them.
I wore a full beard for years no tie and often stood out the back of the hall during the meetings. When challenged I said your fortunate that shaving doesn't give you a terrible rash.... No tie Asthma feel like I'm choking..... Standing at the back Ever had piles Brother. One helpful Elder came up during the meeting stood beside me and said one word "Vaseline " Vaseline I replied "Yes for you know" he said "What" says I "Piles" he whispered SD7 They can be quite amusing at times a bit of fun.
thinking back, there were a few things i was told then, that now seem rather odd and petty.
i was wondering if these thing are common in the wts or was it just that my girlfriend at the time was a pioneer, and her father was an elder.
(so perhap a bit more "enthusiastic" than others).
So many rules and so many situations in life they have not covered IE: Is it OK for me to pray while having a crap or is that a conscience matter?
