  3rd time 2 elders stopped by in 6 months!!!

  by NiceDream in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  these people don't give up!

  i'm hoping it's because we have an assembly coming up soon or something.

  they don't call beforehand, they just stop by whenever, ring the doorbell once and leave.

  Has anyone successfully faded without moving out of the territory?

  2. friends

  so far i've managed to avoid speaking to the elders who drop by.

  just wondering if they'll eventually give up in a couple years.

  anyone have experience with this?.

  What to make of this admission?

  by NiceDream in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my husband told me that he realizes the wt uses human reasoning, has made lots of mistakes, covers things up, and has published some pretty crazy and wrong ideas...yet he still believes it because "it is the most right" to him.. is this common for jws?

  i'm not understanding.

  Does the CO visit inactive ones during his visit?

  by NiceDream in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we haven't been to meetings for a few months and weren't aware of the co visit until we received a phone call an hour and a half before the meeting letting us know.

  no one came to visit us so far this week, not that i'm complaining.

  does the co usually stop by in service?

  so i screwed up big time here.

  there's a nice young witness who is leaving the "truth".

  i sent them a short facebook message and it seems their parent intercepted it...they asked if i sent anything to their kid today.. i said it jws are cultlike, i had doubts i wished i listened to, and to follow their heart.

  Feeling really sad

  2. relationships

  my husband and i have been married for almost 10 years.

  we were married really young, and tried to make the best of it.

  recently, i began listening to my lingering doubts and realized i've been so unhappy because i was living a lie.

  3rd Day Convention Observations

  by NiceDream in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was having trouble paying attention, as there weren't enough seats, so i was sitting behind the curtain so i couldn't see the speaker.

  i kept thinking about the wizard of oz "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

  " anywho...the attendants has blocked off some of the balcony seating because the sound apparently wasn't great.

  How to explain blood fractions are still blood to someone who doesn't agree...

  by NiceDream in

  does anyone have a good analogy or something i could use to help explain to my husband that blood fractions are still blood?

  he feels that it gets to a point where it's not blood anymore.

  Day 1 of the convention

  by NiceDream in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here's a brief recount of things that stood out to me this year upon my awakening...probably old hat for most of you.

  the first experience i heard was from a sister who was afraid to speak to her fleshly sisters about "the truth" and her conscience was really bothered.

  she felt horrible that they were going to die unless she shared the "truth" with them.
