Leaving the org and marriage possibly ending

by atacrossroads in

jw
friends

i was raised a witness, baptized at 16, vacation pioneered, got married, etc.

i was very much your typical witness and believed it was the truth until last summer.

a very close relative of mine left the witnesses.

It seems that the harder that a person goes opposite of their spouse the harder they push back.

That is how it is with my wife. I quit cold turkey with meetings a few years ago for a bit and my wife all of a sudden had "friends " from the congregation to encourage her and she got all religious on me.

I went back to some of the meetings and didn't push my beliefs on her and she wasn't as religious. I have slowly been fading and she is slowing down too.

So my advice is to take it slowly if you can deal with the bullshit and he might slow down in the religion too.

at the regional convention (national!!

) for scotland, mark sanderson elicited 13 rounds of applause during his closing talk, (for the least little things!

) plus a final one for his closing prayer!

Next convention I should see how many times I can make the audience start clapping.

how the things are going with my sister

by opusdei1972 in

this morning i phoned my sister so as to know how the things are going with her problem with the congregation.

if i remember well, five weeks ago, my sister was asked by the elders (in the street) to attend a judicial meeting for apostasy.

my sister told them that she firstly needs a formal letter specifying who is accusing her.

If they disfellowship her without approval from the branch or if they do not follow direction as outlined in the flock book the corporation will not back them up if a lawsuit happens.

Ol joe Rutherford said that religion is a snare and a racket. I guess he was right.

mr vincent toole, he gets 3 meals a day his accommodation, daily exercise & a degree to be a lawyer.

they are asking for kids ice-cream money so they can send their monkeys to uni to get them off child abuse cases, while telling the ones giving the money not to get a higher education.

holy shit i never thought about that before.

It really doesn't surprise me. It is human nature. They are the 1%. Just like in the real world our sweat blood and tears go to feed the elite of society.
