scripturally free to remarry secret!!!
by asilentone in

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.

Where I can find information on South Australia court case, where a JW sued his KH and the WTS after breaking his leg in field service?
by LUKEWARM in

.

from memory a newspaper article reported on this some years ago - it involved the jw trespassing on private property, being knocked over by a goat, the homeowner being sued and having to pay damages to the jw.. initially as the jw sued his congregation, the wts defended the kh and itself with the statement that jw's are not required to go out in field service and that the ministry work is purely voluntary.... can anyone point me to a link?.

Do you have GOSSIPERS and those with STRONG PERSONALITIES that "control" the congregation?
by BonaFide in

i bet a lot of others have, and its strange how so many are powerless to do anything.. one sister i know was married to another jw.

he was unfaithful, she was crushed, he wasn't disfellowshipped, she forgave him, he was cruel, finally she committed adultery to get out of it.

they divorced.

Why were you baptized?
by bluecanary in
1. jw
2. experiences
inspired by another thread.. i was baptized at 12 years old.

i had a cousin, two years older than me, who was prettier, more outgoing and more popular in the hall than i was.

i couldn't beat her at any of that stuff, but i figured i could be a better jw than she was.

Book-Burning in Wisconsin

the colossal stupidity of some people amazes me.

here we have people worried that homosexuals are being portrayed as people, and demanding that such young adult books be labelled as sexually explicit.

in classic religiously-deranged fashion, the ignoramuses ignore the actual message of a book, rather choosing to vilify and marginalize those of other beliefs.. http://www.cnn.com/2009/us/07/22/wisconsin.book.row/.

We Should All Be Extremely Proud if Ourselves!!!
by cognac in

we all somehow escaped at least mentally a cult.

considering that most of us were brainwashed, i find this very incredible.

it is extremely difficult to get people out, sometimes impossible, but we all somehow made it!.
