  it's hard to believe, it's been over a year since i was df'd.

  i was in the borg for 25 years and made a lot of friends.

  we were so close with several families, that we were inseperable.

  Puter,

  And can't you just hear the talk in the car group??...."Can you believe what happened to A? He just got sucked back into this old system...just couldn't fight Satan's pressures...gave up everything he had for the world of wickedness...if he would have just waited a little longer for the new system...after all, IT's so close."

  We wonder how they can stay in and we wonder why they don't get out...ironic, huh? We can just be glad we could get out...there is life after JW's...it just takes some time to feel comfortable in the new world we live in.

  I'm ready for pinochle when you are.....ya guys, thats what he does when he's not wining and dining...now he plays pinochle with the people he used to counsel and encourage...as the world turns.

  a friend of mine is getting a divorce because her husband is questioning the wts...he's sick of the cover-ups...in light of a new elder abuse case here.

  she says she can't lie with someone who is going to talk against the wts..so i asked her how she could get a divorce for those reasons.

  evidentally, the co came to talk to her and because she can't get govt.

Evidentally, the CO came to talk to her and because she can't get govt. help if she's married, he told her it would be ok for her to get the divorce and she shouldn't think she is doing anything wrong.

  I've only been out a year....so where did this rule/principle come from?

  WARNING! The Elders are coming.....!

  hi gang.

  if you live in england, be exspecting a call this month from the elders of your local kingdom hall if you have been dissfellowshiped,dissociated yourself or had any contact with the congregation in the past.....no it`s not coz they want their mouldy old books back; it`s some special effot ordered from bethel to get you back.....( obviously because their numbers have crashed since that panarama program last year,`suffer little chidren).

  i was out shopping, when an elder from my local kingdom hall rugby tackled me.the sod had me cornered in a shop doorway for ten minutes...he told me that this special effort is for febuary only, and because he said it`s come down from bethel, i assume it`s only england.

  How Can You Easily Show That JW's Are Wrong?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  it seems that it's very difficult to convince the average witness that their beliefs are incorrect.nearly all will not admit or simply cannot see the error of their ways.how would you help a jehovah's witness see the light?

  Have You Been Divorced?

  by Outaservice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  divorce is much more common in the jehovah's witness community than they would like to admit.

  probably more so than the population in general.. if you have been divorced do you think that the watchtower society contributed to the divorce, or caused it, or is it just possible you married some jerk or abuser and divorce would have occured no matter what religion you were, or even if you had no religion?.

  possibly you got married way too young as the end was coming and there is no marriage in the resurrection if you died.

  I was married for 26 yrs, 22 of those years as JW's. I ws 17 and he waws 18 when we were married and it was becuase of being JW's that we stayed married so long. He had a lengthy affair and when I found out, divorced him and he da'd himself but has been reinstated for about the past 6-7 yrs.

  I don't think divorces in JW's are nearly as prominent as in the general public...I thin the %age is 52 or 54 now. It is far less than that in JW's altho I am sure it happens much more than the WT would like people to think. However, that doesn't mean MORE JW's are happily married than others, just that they more often stay married and live miserable lives.
