  good ole fashioned JW drama

  by finallyfree! in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so my exwife who decided to go back to da troof coz she needed financial help from her jw family has found a boyfriend as i was sure she would.

  she tends to be like a leech that latches on until she happens upon another unsuspecting host.

  only problem is he is not baptized.

  A JC for dating a worldly guy?? Really? I mean, I've heard of a Shepherding Call and counsel for that, maybe even a talk about marking, but possible DFing? That's ridiculous! So while the admonition to "marry only in the lord" isn't broadcasted as a strict command and merely a suggestion, if you go against it, you're brought up in a JC? Jeez, the control goes deeper than I thought! They give people the impression that they have so many freedoms, but really, there's a cultural undercurrent of what's accepted and what isn't. It may not be printed in the literature (cause that gives the WTBTS deniability) but it's understood that this is how it's done.

  I know a sister who got an "unscriptural divorce" from her worldly husband (she knew he was cheating, but she had no proof and he refused to admit it cause he knew the JW rules about remarriage, even though he really was screwin' around). She met a worldly guy and started dating him. A couple months later they got engaged. Very soon after that, she broke it off with him because he did something she didn't like, and she very quickly took up with another worldly guy, got swiftly engaged and married him, and she didn't get a JW, but a talk was given on marking.

  I've never been brought into a JC for dating a worldly guy, even though I have done so in my late teens/early 20's and the elders were well-aware of it.

  My Uncle is Dying.

  nearly a year ago my uncle was diagnosed with prostate cancer - he initially thought it was just a bladder infection and it took him passing out to go have more serious tests.

  thus he received this news and shared it with us, his family.. the family rallied behind him and we all did everything we could to get him to his treatments, make sure he ate properly and supported him.

  my cousins came out from the uk when it looked like he was going to die in a couple of days.

  Lou~ I'm so sorry for you and your family and what you're all going through along with your uncle. I hope you are all finding strength in each other while you are caring for him and loving him for the time he's still with you. Thank you for the reminder as well. My mom had endometrial cancer and thankfully they got it in time and she's still here, I have an aunt who had ovarian cancer and survived it, and a few other family members have had cancer as well...and me, I'm stupidly stubborn and hate going to the doctor, but this reminder was something I needed. So thank you!

  PP~ Atheists know more about the bible than most Christians do. We don't just say "Meh, I don't believe in a god, so I'm not gonna look at that". The majority of Atheists have read the bible, as well as many other "holy books" from other religious belief systems, and find them lacking. Maybe you should look into Atheism more before you run around making such blanket statements.

  A lot of these Christian denominations pride themselves on their "once saved, always saved" mentality. So therefore, nothing they do on earth really matters because they've already been forgiven. And well, others just say a few prayers and it's like shaking an Etch-A-Sketch...never happened in the eyes of god, according to them.

  As for how I define "Christians", I define it the same way the government does... They are people who subscribe to any one of the myriad of denominations that claim to follow the teachings of Jesus. However, let's not be like the Watchtower and try to say who is and who is not a "true Christian" cause that's really not our place, now is it?

  @ keyser~ oh they are!! My dad said to me on Saturday "Hey, it's 6 o'clock and I'm still here!" with a chuckle and a head shake. The irony is that my dad knows about 1975... I've even shown him Rutherford's timetable... He finds ways to refute even THAT.

  The part about the prisons was a jab at the fact that the vast majority of people who are in prison are of Judeo-Christian belief...so therefore, they'd all be gone.

  What if your Significant Other wanted to become a JW?

  by Dune in

  today, i was ambushed by a pair of witnesses while leaving my apartment.

  they offered me a magazine, to which i declined, but gave the latest awake & watchtower to my girlfriend.

  at our next stop, i took the magazines, rolled them up and was about to toss them when she told me that she wanted to read them.

  I would definitely end it if there was no changing his mind. Bad enough I have to deal with JW family members and being barraged once in awhile with dubspeak...I couldn't be in a relationship with someone and have to live it every day of my life AGAIN. Getting out means getting out. I wouldn't shack up with a person with a communicable disease, so I won't live with someone who has contracted and spreads the infection of the Watchtower.

  i declare myself officially as an apathist.

  as an apathist, i totally could care less about religion or doctrine.

  i really don't care after my stint in the jw's.

  Well, I wouldn't say I could care less because that implies that I care at all...

  So, no... I couldn't care less...

  Sorry, you stumbled on a pet peeve of mine lol

  Anarchy on the JW FB page--subscriber numbers are dropping

  i've been one my entire life.

  i dont think its fair that only one group of individuals out of 33,000 other groups (other religions).

  when we knock on people's doors, and they dont want to hear what we have to say, how do we know that its just that they believe so strong what they believe, and may have believed for their entire life, that they just dont want to hear what we have to say?
