  Seed Planting Questions That Worked For Me Recently

  by Confuzzled in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm a really big eckhart tolle follower, and recently i was rereading a new earth and i showed my dubby this proverb he mentioned, which kind of bothered him when i explained it.. "the hand pointing to the moon is not the moon.".

  he didn't quite get it, so i explained that it basically means that just because a man, or religion, is pointing out god to you, it doesn't mean you worship the man or religion.

  he didn't seem to want to debate it because he didn't have an answer or counter point.. also while explaining the path tolle shows (pragmatic explainations of age-old beliefs, from jesus to buddah, they all said the same things), he said he didn't think tolle believed in god.

  He attempted to apply JW practices on My Dad/I Expect An Argument In The AM

  maybe i spoke to soon about all being quiet on the jw front in my.......ehhhhhh........ so-called relationship with my dub baby dad.

  well, this doesnt come strictly from a jw doctrine, it is a practice.

  the words "headship" was used numerous times, also "head of house", "man of house", and "submit".

  JW views on Mental Health & Counseling

  by Confuzzled in

  2. beliefs

  i am considering getting couples counseling for the jw boyfriend and i. he's open to it.

  he got help himself for an issue recently, but it was in the short term, and it went well for him.

  i want to know if we started going regularly, and his mentor got wind of it, what are the jw views on mental health help?

  So your telling me you can be an a**hole until you get bapitized, and other tales...

  by Confuzzled in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  without launching into my saga, of which many of you already know, i have a jw baby daddy who besides being a jw is an emotional midget w/women issues....i continue to come here for support and info concerning the future of my infant and the quirks of the jw family & belief system at large, and what i will be dealing with in the future, bf or no bf, so this inquiry has nothing to do with my relationship with this person or lack-there-of, i'm just seeking answers to what seems puzzling.

  my posts are lacking in any specific detail as to not alert any possible lurking done my boyfriend or his family members, call me paranoid but it sometimes the circumstances, should they be stumbled on, are far to unique for it to be anybody other then this person, or their family.. anyhoo, my non-baptized jw bf is mad at his mother, along with many of his brothers and sisters (he has a huge family).

  mama, it turns out was never baptized, even though she has been a jw for as long as my boyfriend has been alive (almost 40 yrs).

  If someone is benefitting from being in a cult, should we leave them there?

  by Confuzzled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if scientology has narcanon, and it has gotten people off drugs (although that 85% sucess rate they say they have is suspect), and becoming a jw sorta forces you into line, would it make sense to leave someone in if they were helping them?

  if you knew somebody was a drunk, sex addict, drug addict, what have you, and they were studying, and it appeared that they were actually being helped (albeit by twisted means) would you leave them be?

  like, if uncle jim was a fall down drunk that ran around on his wife, then someone introduced him to the wts, and it all stopped, would you still try and expose the cult even if they were actually helping and it was working?.
