I HATE this religion

by brotherdan in

so today was my first sunday meeting that i didn't go with my wife.

as an update she has decided not to move out right now...because she doesn't have anywhere to go.

but she is giving me the silent treatment.

Wasblind - I can't speak for all women, but the average women ain't gonna choose being alone overa good lovin' man. There is a third party in this. I don't know who or what it is. But it's there.

Dan, I'm so sad for you. But I agree with the above statement and i apologize if this seems disrespectful to you or your wife. If there is no abuse, it take a lot for a woman to leave a man she loves.

Her leaving was in the works and she's had help arranging it. This is the first step. She's thinking ahead to future without you and acting according. This should be the wake up call for you to do the same. Seek legal counsel. If you belong to a union, trade or professional organization, they can direct to to free or low cost legal assistance.

Do you know where your important documents are (wills, birth certificates, deeds, financial statements, credit/bank account numbers, SS cards, passports etc)? I bet she does. Right now you have to set aside your emotions and get your affairs in order.

How do I cut off pioneering?

by bottleofwater in

i'm 19 and trying to get a job.

my dad won't pay for my college if i don't pioneer.. if i get a job, i can't pioneer while in college.. i can supposedly work and study, but i need a good way to get rid of pioneering (it was never my idea in the first place - blame the parents with their social coercion).. if i stop pioneering, i will be told by my parents that i don't love jehovah (not that i care what they say).. how can i do this as painlessly as possible?.

i want to move out someday and have enough money to do this.. by the way, if you read my started topics you will see my situation in more detail and that my dad is the coordinator of the boe..

My Mom is a pioneer as well. So I can't fake times

Is she your pioneer partner? If not, faking should be no problem. If she is, tell her you are "widening out" and working with some "friends" you met at school or at the District Convention.

Who could I move in with? My uncle will only let me stay with him this week that I'm here.

This

What about renting a room from someone that's not a JW?

Does your school have student services or housing dept? They can steer you toward landlords that rent to students. Also, they can be a good source to check if your fellow students are looking for a roomate.

friends

last night was the first night of a new study at my church.

overall it will be on the relationship of religion and science.

some of the material that we will be using are john polkinghorne's book "questions of truth" and we are going to view the recent movie on darwin.

Do dubs really go to colleges and try to recuit?

Many colleges allow dubs on campus. There is a designated "free speech" area set up for groups/orgs to shill the wares. Also, I live in city that is home to many schools. The pioneers hit these areas up for easy, lazy time; sitting outside holding up magazines & passing out few tracts.

Anyone DF'd because of this sire

by bottleofwater in

The administrator of JWFacts was DF'd for apostacy. His JC used his posts from this site as evidence.

I'm not sure of any other posters.

1. Student loan. 2. Move out. 3. Part-time job. 3. Get living. 4. No regrets.

This right here! Also, getting a roomate will help keep costs down will maintaining independence from the parents.

Get the elders to leave me alone!!

by bottleofwater in

my dad read something online that i posted and told the other elders (he's the boe coord.).

they've read me articles about homosexuality and tried to coerce me to stay with the family instead of living with my uncle for a week.

i went to my uncle's anyway.

Do you plan on returning to your parents home?

Are you trying not to get DF'd?

Not sure of your situation, please elaborate (without blowing your cover).

Strange statement in last week's study article

by civicsi00 in

there was a strange statement in last week's study article.

well, let's be honest: there were plenty of strange statements!

but one in particular bothered me.

sherah

Reniaa/Debator, where in the bible does it say "Like I said the Bible principle is that you only need one person (not 2) to pass on perfection!"

And

Where in the bible does it say "that perfection overcomes imperfection everytime but also that perfection cannot come from imperfection it needs One perfect source to be overcome (whether it be through birth, sacrifice or reward)." Thanks.

Facebook privacy settings are crucial to control your info!!

by WingCommander in

jw
friends

i just thought i'd start this topic about facebook privacy settings as i am seeing it come up on here and other forums a lot where you have people who are on facebook and then their jw family or friends are requesting to be friends with them and they don't know what to do!!

we are hearing it time and time again: you "friended" some jw family member, long-ago pioneer partner, etc, etc.

that person then goes through your facebook profile and sees everything you've written, your photos of you and your new life including holidays, partners, worldly activities, etc, etc.

Reniaa/Debator said - Like I said the Bible principle is that you only need one person (not 2) to pass on perfection!

And that perfection overcomes imperfection everytime but also that perfection cannot come from imperfection it needs One perfect source to be overcome (whether it be through birth, sacrifice or reward).

Where is the scriptural support for this?
