I'm a Pioneer Married To a Wonderful Brother Reaching Out to be an MS...

by cognac in

and petrified... i just recently became a pioneer and always had nagging questions in the back of my mind.

so, i decided that when i have get a study i would research all the questions as i go along so as to prove everything in the truth... i got 4 studies in about 2 months.

all was fine, until i reached i think chapter 6 in the bible teach book about the resurrection.

Cognac, I finally read your story. Wow! Haven't we all been there at some point.

I'm sorry for what you are going through right now. You have been struggling with this for some time now.

My struggle with the religion started 4-1/2 years ago. I have been trying to use the time to educate my kids and I am happy to say that it is going well ... the marriage on the other hand, not so.

I hope you find peace. As a JW, especially born in and with so many family and all of the web that that goes with it, it is a hard thing and probably can never have it not be there in some way.

But you can be happy. You can get through this.

My messagew to my mother post "branch talk".

by problemaddict 2 in

my wife went out of curiosity.

she is out enough to where it doesn't affect our marriage, but she keeps it a secret from her family and others.

she is beginning to understand what it means to give over your thinking to an organization, and once she works that out there will be no going back.. so she went to the branch visit.

Everything to defend the cult. Funny (in a sad way) how a JW can be disappointed or discouraged by something like this ... until somebody like a child, or spouse, points it out then all of a sudden they defend the cult.

I have noticed this with my wife too.

The Org emotionally abuses their followers and the rank&file just say hit me again.

Great review Oubliette!

So far my wife hasn't said a word about the "special" event.

Shortly before she got home I posted the following video to my Facebook page. I wonder if I will be unfriended by any more JW "friends".

Tony the Third gives plenty of ammunition to test the faith of older ones, he is a moron.

Special meeting, special meeting ... that's what has been coming from my wife's mouth the past couple of days, everything today is planned for and around this "special meeting" ... I want to ask, "what's so special about it" ... but I keep my mouth shut.

Gerrit Losch's "I DO NOT ANSWER TO WATCHTOWER"

by Newly Enlightened in

in gerrit losch's public statement to the superior copurt of california.

JW's pride themselves on being cautious as serpents yet as innocent as doves and are thrilled at how they can fool Satan's world. Technically Losch speaks truthfully from a legal, corporate standpoint. And that is what the game is in a court of law.

by raymond frantz in

i posted here a week ago some disturbing news for congregations being consolidated in britain.

my goodness that was nothing !

a letter was read today from bethel addressed to all congregations in britain that can only be described as the biggest news for years.the main points:.

After reading the quoted letter in it's entirety, it doesn't seem as scandalous. Just my opinion.
