Agonizing Questions
by Defender ingal 1:8. we have the apostle paul clearly warning the galatians, to the extent of invoking a divine curse, about believing other versions of the good news than what paul had originally published.. the question is which good news should i believe?
the one published by the apostle paul from tarsus, or the one from charles taze russell from allegheny, pennsylvania?.
john 6: 53,54. we have none other than jesus christ himself, our supposed leader, telling us in no uncertain terms that unless we eat his flesh and drink his blood, we will not have everlasting life.. the question is whom should i trust with my everlasting prospects?

Amazing's Triumph - Mixed Feelings
by Perry inamazing wrote:.
"i was able to get my wife and children out, and this led to my son-in-law and a close friend leaving at the same time.
so, i am among the more fortunate in that my immediate family, and non-jw friends and relatives were all there with me as i exited.

I'm getting ready to leave the office and only had time to skim this thread, so forgive me if someone else already mentioned this.
As far dubs looking down on younger people who become "annointed," aren't one or two of the most recent GB members younger men who became "annointed" long after the 1930s-era cut off?

One wonders, Focus, why the JW-defenders have no reply.
Easy: Jehovah's Witnesses are a religion with form but no substance.

.....married with children
by sadiejive injust a few quick questions.... how did you who got out of "the truth" deal with having a spouse who is still involved?
what did you do about situations involving your children (such as holidays, birthdays, blood issue, religious upbringing, sports-ymca/karate)?.
since i am the "wife" i feel like i am in a doubly awkward position due to the "submission" issue.

I left my JW husband at the same time I quit the dubs. Both were bad situations. I hope your marriage isn't in the state mine was.
My current husband tried to leave when he had a zealous JW wife (his first wife). He tried to stick it out in the marriage for quite a few years, but she made it evident that she didn't want to be his wife if he didn't plan to be a JW. Why put all that effort into someone who's going to die soon? They ended up divorcing.
I know people who have been successful in leaving the religion and maintaining a good marriage with a believing spouse, but I think it's a difficult thing to do. Since he believes he has the headship, your husband is going to try to control things like holidays, the blood issue, etc. Even if you don't want to display submission, it's difficult to buck a man who's intent on getting his own way. I hope you'll be able to reason with him and that he loves you enough to listen. You'll probably have to make compromises when it comes to raising the children, though.
I wish you luck. What you're going through certainly isn't easy.

Do any of you know Doctor Bob? He had a beard for quite a while when he was an elder. The elders in his congregation couldn't have cared less, but the circuit overseer finally made a fuss about it. It's interesting that the other elders went to bat for him against the CO.

What or who is the Faithful & Discreet Slave?
by SexyTeen ini know that most of you do not believe that the annointed remnant among jehovah's witnesses is the faithful & discreet slave.. so who is?
jesus did say that this slave (individual or class?
) would be feeding his sheep, so who is doing the job?

I attended a special assembly held in Denver when Freddie graced us with his presence. He said from the platform that he expected the end in 1975. About 10,000 other people who were present also heard him say it.
