  Meandering Thoughts of my Old Life - Regrets

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  two threads popped up today, one on pedophiles and jw's, and another on what keeps us/me coming back here..... i gotta tell you, when i remember that i was once an elder, spouting off the company line, it makes me sick.

  when i had to read the defense of jw pedophiles today, i was reminded that i too once spouted a similar line.

  i personally observed other elders resign for what i knew to be real differences they had with the gb on how to handle pedophiles.

  Today was day 1 of my district cultvention

  by JerkhovahsWitless in

  some of the memorable moments today would be:.

  1) the nutty mother on stage with her little boy who became an unbaptized publisher at 6. i missed his current age, but he was a tiny little kid, couldn't be much older than a couple years over 6. tomorrow he gets baptized.

  2) the husband and wife couple who work part-time to pioneer, but wanted to do more so they sold their home, down-sized to one car and made other adjustments to make their lives more simple to put the kingdom first.

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first got the internet in 1998, i was out in fs with 2 young bros in their teens, best friends.

  they wanted to check their email, and i said that they could use the computer.. i went upstairs, and found them in a chat room.

  (this was before the first article on chat rooms, i think.

  i have some great neighbors...spanish on both sides of me, and down the street.

  their homes are very nice and the yards are kept up....but there is the strangest thing.

  they love to put big wooden posts in the middle of their beautiful lawns with the most hideous kmart type night lighting fixtures you have ever scene.

  Who here has just let the JW stuff go?. I NEED HELP GUYS!!!!!!!.................

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ....i am so frikkin obsessed about the jw lies and my newfound truths about them, and it is prob driving me crazy or causing depression.....if i wake up in the middle of the night, i never get back to sleep as my mind starts racing about jw crap and how it affects my marriage, and then how can i make this marriage work with her such a hardcore dub....i told my wife i now realize i am an abusive husband.....i must stop talking to her about the real truth!!

  !..........it is killing her inside and we have had soooo many bad discussions that turn into arguments......on top of that she says she is now closer to jah and the org than at any other time in her life, that now that she has no positive direction from me, she relies totally on jehovah and prays to him more than ever..... we talked about separation, and that i was going to lose her over our religious differences........i feel so sorry for what i have put her through, and i know that if i can not really shut up with my ohsohelpful comments of truths about this truth she will leave me due to "spiritual endangerment".......and she said she is damm close to that happening.....i told her i knew it to and would so hate to lose her due to our religious differences.

  at my recent shepherding call, they said to try and stop focusing on the negatives i have found in jw, and focus on the good things...and that is not a bad idea even if i never go back to meetings....there are good things about dubs....the efforts at ending racism and at least for me, some really good lifelong friends.......even their hope for the future was pretty good to me, even though it is a bunch of crap and i no longer believe the bible is gods word or inspired.....it does have some good suggestions for a happy life and ideas as to how to treat others........but so do just about every holy book of other faiths........ i had plans to start going to some meetings with my wife, but today, after a sleepless night i told her i just dont think i can do it, and just as she strongly believes it is the truth, i do not, and that i think the guys on the gb are not led by holy spirit cause if she will read the proclaimers book, she will see we have never gotten a single bible inerpretation of prophecy correct.......so she says "so what is there?
