i have been hitting a brick wall trying to pry my boyfriend away from this stuff.
it just makes me cry that it's so obvious to me how wrong it is, and he's not even batting an eyelash.
he knows about all of the scandals, all of the false prophecies, the coverup of sexual predators, that elders tell abuse victims to stay with their spouses, that they dishonestly use sources, and he just doesn't care.
ilc,
I know that you are sincere in wanting to help him. But until he sees that there is a problem, he will not want help. He is not really living up to the standards he would like to, otherwise he would not be in a relationship with a "worldly" person like you.
I would say that you should run from this guy, ASAP.
Good luck,
JK
dear friends, watch out with craigslist, i personally have not had any problems but you never know.
here is a story about men getting killed by some horrible people, they are promising a nice farm job... http://news.yahoo.com/suspected-craigslist-toll-now-3-dead-1-wounded-180033217.html.
They are just trying to figure out the body count now. Three dead, one wounded.
let's party!
it's time to forget our troubles and enjoy the holiday season.
stop in.
This is a year that I will not have a Christmas. I have had some since I left. I have no one to share it with here, and it sucks. And my guitar gently weeps.

Send me some coal

forgive me if i'm a bit slow with the title to this thread.
the true absurdity of the cult that robbed me of my intellect for so long is still beginning to dawn on me.. i'm doing more research into domestic violence as part of a response to the notorious "wife beating" article in the feb 2012 watchtower.. i was shocked to find a question from readers in the w75 5/1 p286-288 which basically said that a battered wife would not be scripturally free to divorce her husband.
my first reaction was that this stance must have changed since 1975, but then i dipped into my own memory from serving as an elder, and of course, adultery (including porneia) is given as the only scriptural grounds for divorce down to this day.. please can somebody correct me if i'm wrong, preferably with a reference?
I was in an abusive relationship with my ex-wife, a JW nutcase woman. She even intentionally hit me with a car in a fit of rage, but the elders did nothing. Abuse is not grounds for divorce in the JW wacky world.

pat gives his blessings to divorce your mate if they become sick.
"just make sure they are cared for, go ahead and date another man or women.".
Pat can cure hemorrhoids with prayer. He is the Chuck Norris of televangelists.

experimented with various sounds and models this morning, and was able to recreate the townshend sound from "live at leeds.".
i don't even think i have plugged it in in over 2 years!
with my caregiver role, i rarely have the chance to play with my amp, only the acoustic guitar.
Little Vox hasn't been used lately either.

this was taken from a watchtower study article and without doubt, i am definitely sure it will be beneficial for the majority here: now take your spoon and approach the table, the food is ready.. .

my personal story: i grew up as a jw, left, went to college, and have a career.
i have a spouse, married for many moons, wonderful kids, normal house, cute dog, and newer cars.
the "american dream".
Tell her she sound like she is focused on material things.
I have a sister like that, I aam glad she shuns me. If she didn't, I would her!
The comment about the children was totally uncalled for. Tell her she could have a kid, if she wasn't such a fridged biotch.
