  The Witnesses describe the unforgiveable sin as : "Denying an evident manifestation of the holy spirit."

  I guess it's between you and God to decide.

  Your situation sounds exactly like mine. I have wondered the same thing.

  Dealing with a 'molested child' in a Judicial matter.

  by dissed in

  2. child-abuse

  i'm trying to respect the privacy of this individual, so forgive me if i'm a little too vague in my descriptions.. this for me, was the most emotional and difficult judicial matter that i have ever experienced.

  its been many years since this happened and i'm still troubled, and troubled for this individual.. a young sister had committed fornication and i was chosen to sit on the judicial committee.. the case didn't make sense at first.

  she was a faithful example in the congregation and was very much liked by all.

  Take it from me,

  scripturally free to remarry secret!!!

  by asilentone in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know a brother that was not scripturally free to remarry to the best of his knowledge, his ex wife was disfellowshipped in another state, his ex wife did not contact him letting him know that he is scripturally free to remarry, but the elders at his congregation knew about it, but they chose to keep it a secret from him for whatever reason???.

  he did not know about it after one year after the fact!

  he learned about it from a brother from another state.

  Does anyone find it wierd that you have to screw someone else to get out of a marriage, even if that's not reallly what you want to do?

  It's almost like they FORCE you to be immoral. ( Or what they consider to be immoral. I'm certainly not in a position to judge.)

  i won't parse words.

  if i continue in this situation, i'm going to be dead by my own hands.

  having them in my life is getting to the point where i can't function and i will choose not to function anymore.

  It sounds like you have a great and supportive girlfriend.

  Focus on the good in your life. I know it's hard sometimes. I agree totally with shamus - been at the worst point in my life a year and half ago. No job, no home, left everything behind with about $500 in my pocket to start a new life.

  A few nights of sheer panic, the only way I could sleep was to keep repeating to myself "I have a place to sleep tonight. I ate tonight. I have a place to sleep tonight. I am safe tonight. I am safe tonight."

  I PROMISE you, it will get better. Just keep hanging on.
