  Fight with wife over watching Avatar escalates to near-separation--true story

  by sd-7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's true because it happened to me last night.

  i knew it was trouble when she started looking at my kindle.

  once she got to the short stories i wrote 3 years ago, autobiographical, some of it involving her, i knew i wouldn't be going to bed before 1:00 (it was 11:40 p.m. by then).

  New Generation understanding tied to Freddie Franz

  by 5thGeneration in

  2. beliefs

  also don't know if this has been mentioned previously.. our speaker yesterday, gb member br.

  pierce, tied the overlap theory directly to fred franz's lifetime.. did anyone else catch this?.

  evidently (and i'm paraphrasing), anyone anointed after franz's death in 1992 is not of the 'generation'.. 5th.

  "Our speaker yesterday, GB member Br. Pierce, tied the overlap theory directly to Fred Franz's lifetime."

  I confirm, the same thing happened during the zone overseer visit on Saturday 12th in Vienna, Austria where GB-member Jackson was also present.

  wife awakening

  my wife was reading a few bits of coc and she read most of gentile times reconsidered and she says she's not buying the dates anymore and i can tell she knows it's not the truth.

  she is starting to feel depressed about it and is feeling "hollow" on the inside.

  she said that you can't argue all the evidence that points to 586/7bc for jerusalem's destruction and you can't separate dates from wts dogma - she finally is getting it :) historians are making stuff up to cover up 607bc.

  Ridiculous Comment By a Super JW

  by mentallyfree31 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few years back, before i had any doubts and when i was a hardcore jw, i remember a super-pioneer-jw sister was conversing with me.

  i made the comment about some of my friends at work (all non-witnesses).

  she stops me mid sentence and says "friends?

  I always had a good non JW-friend at school and a good one in the KH. It was not a pb for me or my parents: we would eventually go for shopping, swimming etc...

  Why does everyone want to 'quietly' leave? Annual departure day?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems there are sooo many who sense something is wrong, or not right.

  everyone who just 'fades' or is dfed or no longer a jw, it's all assumed for immoral reasons or they just want to lead a 'worldly' lifestyle.

  some do, don't believe in god and that's their choice.

  Endofmysteries,

  friends and existing ties are not the only reason why some (like me) want to leave quietly. I'm married to a JW since nearly 11 years now and I love him. Moreover we have 2 little girls (2 and 5 year old), I just want to avoid conflicts. I don't want to leave alone and that's why I try my best too show him little by little that the "truth" is not that holy.

  Memorial Service at Khall - would you go (even as a DF'd exJW)?

  by babygirl30 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask because a friend of mine (who stays in touch once in awhile) had made it clear to me about 6 mos ago that he didn't care if i was df'd or not - that he still would speak to me and check up on me.

  well his parents are both disabled, and his father recently died in the house!

  so he sends me a text telling his father passed - and i told him i would call him.

  Your friend needs your support in this difficult time. You just said he stays in touch with you although you being DF'd and he doesn't shun you. I think you should go.

  Was any of you leading a bible study when discovered the truth about the "truth"?

  by Desilusionnee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask because i'm confronted to that and i really don't know what to do.

  i always pointed out that the bible and not the book we are studying together is god's word, but now i really don't know any farther.. the 2nd problem is that we don't only study the bible she is now a friend of mine, our children are of the same age?

  were some of you in the same situation?

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  I discovered the truth at the end of April and I'm still attending the meetings: trying to fade slowly as my husband is still convinced that it's the truth and we have 2 little girls.
  The woman I study with attended the memorial and she wants to be one of the JW because she believes they are all good people. We are both from the caribbean and live in Europe. Not only the bible study connects us but also our cultural background somehow....
  I'm afraid other brothers try to study with her if I stop and prevent her from having contact with me: she is the only caribbean woman I know in my area (south of Austria) and I like her much. That's why I'm so confused.

  Once more, thank you very much for your help.
