i doubt that i will ever ever ever
[did i say ever] ever go for another active jw again.
in the end if you donot convert or convert them then it will end ethier way.
what are you in for?
a very rough ride.
i am getting pratically nowhere all i am doing is a planting some seeds of doubt..
if you dont have any close ties to this person then it is probally better to leave them right away.
it will ruine your relationship. [it = watchtower]
rember jws HATE people who oppose their organisation.
very few of them have any feeling for them at all. they think that they are doing the devils work and that by not respecting them that they are making jehovah proud.
i dont actually know where in the bible it shows you where to hate but they do teach that you should hate them.
how rough is this ride.
1) you are constantly threatened with the posibility that your relationship as strong as it may seem may end at any moment.
2) if you try to talk with your partner about the watchtower in anything less than a good "light" their smile quickly turns into a frown.
3) you get fustrated that even when you confront them with seemingly irrefutable evidence about smething they manage to defend it with some flimsy notion.
4) sadly you have to watch as your partner is being decieved by this organisation and their is nothing you can do about it.
5) wait till his elders find out. you may have to deal with his guli of associating with a WORlDLY person and how he sees that he is displeasing jehovah.
6) have you met his family? if they are jw. they may mostly through out the worst welcome mat you have ever recieved. they will mostlikely tell him things about you behind your back. they wont aprove of your relationship.
if you dont love this person then the most you can do is to plant some seed of doubt in his mind before you break up.
becareful with what you try to plant.
mostlikely ask him to prove that jeruslem waa destroyed in 601 from NON WATCHTOWER SOURCES. and relate this date to their authority.
that may plant some doubt. doubt does take time to grow. are you willing to wait.
since this person is involved with you he is going against watchtower policy but that dosent mean much as i have found out.
your relationship has nothing to do with his thinking that watchtower is Gods sole channel of communication.
do i sound grimm
well to be honest things are worst than i made them sound.
if you do love him then you may want to try till you cant try anymore
like i am
remember YOU MAY FAIL. the odds are definately NOT in your favour.
before you try to show him the truth about the truth make sure you know the truth for yourself.
it dosent look good for us.
but if you belive there is a GOD then prayer is your most valuable weapon.
Pray pray pray.
now you have just an idea of what your in for.
It is very important that you know what you are attacking
you are attacking the belief that the watchtower is Gods sole channel of communication between God and earth.
do as much research as possible and print it out and memorize it.
[read, read, read!]
you have to memorize alot of it so that you dont have apostate litature in your hand when you confront him.
[dont him to think your demonic]
i think you should look for the post about
have you converted a jw to an ex-jw [or something to that effect]
dont delude yourself because this wont be easy. its up to your best judgement to see what is best in your situation.
all i have said so far is still not describing the magnitude of the situation.
life just isnt fair is it.
the bible is a two edged sword wield it the wrong way and it you WILL cut yourself!
