  Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.

  by AuntConnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .

  i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.

  my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

  Bethel perfection bubble burst

  by redvip2000 in

  2. scandals

  just got back from florida where i spent the holidays with family.

  about half are jdubs.. this year the prevalent atmosphere of superiority from the jw side of the family was totally toned down.

  one of my cousins, a bethelite in upstate ny bethel along with his wife, found out that the wife was having an affair with a young bethelite "brother".

  How very sad for that young man. He must've felt so much distress.

  It isn't any scripture that informs an individual that they are anointed. Almighty God anoints individuals with holy spirit by means of Christ his son.

  So if you still believe in god how can you stay when he says 'Get out of her my people...'

  so many of us now realise that the wtbs is a false religion.

  but for those who haven't left or been dad or dfd, how can you stay?

  ok, if you've lost your belief in god and are staying for family/friends etc, but, if you do want to preserve a relationship with your god, how can you stay knowing how he feels about false religion?

  For those who didnt notice, I'll repeat it. I don't want to judge. I am not judging, it's the last thing on my mind. Yes FHN I do think god takes individual extenuating circumstances into account. It's an irony that so many of us here who weren't born in, went into the WTBS in search of truth and to serve our god. The org taught about false religion and we believed it. Therefore, by their own words they've condemned themselves. Once people find that they're not the 'truth' I think it would be a relief to realise that it frees anyone from staying under a misguided notion that leaving wouldnt equate with leaving god.

  The WTBS plays with people's minds and so many become tortured about what to do. Sometimes simple reasoning helps to gain perspectives.

  Valid considerations both of you, thank you. I don't want to judge, last thing on my mind. I just wish someone had highlighted this for me, it's such a dangerous situation to be in, spiritually, don't you think?

Ok, if you've lost your belief in god and are staying for family/friends etc, but, if you DO want to preserve a relationship with your god, how can you stay knowing how he feels about false religion? Isn't it time you stopped touching the 'unclean thing'? If you love god isn't it the most important factor?

  Why not encourage her to go back to college as a mature student? You could share the childcare and her confidence would grow.

  Oh Cadskin, if any women come on to you when you are either alone or with your wife make it abundantly clear that you are NOT interested. Looks are skin deep, your wife has stayed with you knowing all your faults and failings beneath what is apparently an attractive skin, she gave you children at great cost to her physical. Show her with words and deeds how very much you value her. Don't allow this empty flattery to fool you that you are better than your wife. That'd be a big mistake.

  Hello and welcome MsD. You've made an excellent decision to step away from the WTBS. They are not teaching the 'truth' like they claim, as you've begun to discover. If you value your relationship with god, keep on talking to him while you find your way. There is an abundance of information and support to be found here which I'm sure will help you.
