Can you believe that something as simple as sitting down and reading the bible together didn't occure to me?....
I guess because it is simple enough.... or just because I had tried all possible avenues I thought about....
Thankssss

Hello all I wanted to tell all of You that answered my questions that your comments were really helpful, Thank you!
Out and free!
I will tell you that I am not a practicing JWs. Though my beliefs still stand. It is hard to live in this day and age and try to not to step in others boundaries. As I mention earlier, I just walked away from JW's. I am not Ds and or I am not been Expelled in any shape or form. I was never a member. My Mom has been a Pioneer every year since I was 1yr old, I am now 30. I admire her because she hs been a strong and has been able to stand true to her belief and to God for longer than I can remember. I still remember going to the services and feeling at ease. I was brought up JWs along with my sisters, None of which are practicing at this time. I guess it had to do alot with out shelter lives. When i turned 15yrs old, I found myself liking the outside world more than my love for God. I then stop going to the meetings. As I say this it embarasses Me! Because, I know that most of my choices since then have been all wrong.
My beliefs conflict on a day to day basis. I have not decided to return. I know that time is limited. It's a chance that I take on a day to day basis.... Thought I still continue to live my life away from my beliefs.
To answer another question you asked. I will tell you that my beliefs conflict majorly., because, he is a Seventh Day Adventist and he worships and rests on the 7th day. Satuday. Most of his beliefs conflict with mine, and most of mine conflict with his. He is also not a practicing 7th day member. He my husband from time to time return to his religion hoping that I follow him and serve God. But, I don't feel that for me it is the right things to do. It is not because I don't like God. It's just because my conflicts are so strong with in me. Confusion has set in~
I think at times that I need help spiritually. But, I don't want it. It's like I am stuck. I am scared. I feel guilty. I am lost. And I don't remember when was the last time that I felt full inside!
Since I posted the message on the board I visited the kingdom Hall with my husband.It was the first time and I was so proud. It was the first time in 15yrs. that I walked in and felt the calmness a sense of relief, I was back home. But since then I have not been back.
I guess the desire will come in time. I will tell you that I did tire out. So many rules and regulations, did take a toll on me. I was just tired and overwhelmed.
I didn't understand it then but, I do now.
As I have 2 kids ages 10 and 8 yrs old. I hope that I would have stayed in the religion and stayed strong to my beliefs......
All I have now are bits and pieces of my happy times....... When everything was stress free because Jehovah was on my side!
Thank you!
FORGIVE MY SPELLING I HAVE TO RUN.......

I was raised Jehovah Witness. I am not practicing at the moment!

I have been married with a man that is a practicing Seventh Day Adventist, and as everyone knows the conflicts in our beliefs are tremendous.
I don't agree with his beliefs and visa versa!
The conversations at times are so heated that we don't get the point across.
1- He has just asked me, why is that JWs do not keep the Sabbath Holy and why? He asked me to find it in the bible where is it written, meaning a passage. Does anyone know why, and where in the bible can I find it, to show him?
2- He also asks me, why is that the JWs believe that the 10 commandments were abolished and why? Where can I find that passage?
3- Shunning is a big issue because in his religion shunning is not a big deal! I have attended his religion and people that are dfs are talking and associating with the members as though nothing has happened. Why is so important in the JWs religion? And is there a passage in the bible talking about it?
Thank you and sorry for the inconvience!
