friends

so recently it was my daughters b-day and my wonderful wife thought of a great idea....lets get her a cake.

so some family came to town and we did cake and a few gifts.

interesting developments as my wife and i have not been to the meetings in abouuuuuut a month....and have been incredibly irregukar in attendance the past six months.

Becareful Jon Preston!! Encourage your wife to make new non-JW friends, compliment her and your children to do things that the WTBTS discourges, encourage her and your children to use the internet and critically think for themselves, and tell/show her and your children how much you love them and will not judge them, BUT do not tell your wife your doubts until she tells you that she will not attend meetings anymore and that the WTBTS is a dangerous cult.

The WTBTS's BITE control is very powerful, so don't take it for granted.

I wish you and your family the best.

Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

i will write my story soon... .

ABibleStudent

Enjoy the rest of your life ILoveTTATT!! It will drive JWs crazy that you are not as happy as they are slaving for the WTBTS.

Make new non-JW friends, post pictures of you eating wings and enjoying life with non-JWs as well as interesting links on your FB page, and don't forget to workout at the gym for the chicas caliente (or is it picante?)!! Here is a video from Steve Hassan's website that might interest JWs: Randy Watters, ex Jehovah's Witness elder August 2012 (26:43).

I am having trouble believing in God...

by thedepressedsoul in

i was raised a jw and i am still one but recently i have been having trouble believing in a god.

this is not meant to offend anyone who does, i am just curious to see if i am the only one who thinks this..... to start, i am a very black and white person.

if 1+1=2 it makes sense to me and i can agree with it.

ABibleStudent

Welcome thedepressedsoul, Depending on your frame of reference 1 + 1 = 10 in base 2, and 2 in base 10. Your religious beliefs are based more on WTBTS doctrine than the Bible. Since you were raised a JW, you have the rest of your life to explore your faith (or lack of faith in God). You do not need to rely on the WTBTS to tell you how to believe.

God did not give mankind a written text. According to the Bible, after Jesus Christ was resurected, God communicated with humans through the Holy Spirit. The problem is that humans are not perfect and some humans force their beliefs on others by yelling louder than the Holy Spirit (if you believe in God).

Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

Jehovah's Witnesses Say They Are The Most Educated In The World. How Would You Prove Otherwise?

by minimus in

jw

they claim their schools, literature and teaching are far more superior than any "worldly" education.

how would you counter that belief?.

Pacopoolio -"Helping people get EVERLASTING LIFE, which is the best charity that you can be a part of!"

Welcome Pacopoolio to JWN.

Response to JWs: How does recruiting people into a dangerous cult help them get everlasting life? [Shock-n-Awe to later show JWs their lack of superior education]

John 6:68-70 states to follow Jesus Christ's words (i.e., teachings) to have eternal life. The GB discourage JWs from following God's two greatist commandments (i.e., MT 22:37-40), as well as discouraging non-annointed JWs to partake of the symbols of the body and blood of Christ.

minimus - They claim their schools, literature and teaching are far more superior than any "worldly" education. How would you counter that belief?

So what are you doing with your superior education/knowledge to help improve your family, community, and/or spiritual circumstances?

Bill Gates never graduated from Harvard, but is one of the wealthest men on earth and co-founded a successful software company and a philanthropic organization. I have not done as well as Gates, but I'm financially secure and do not belong to a dangerous cult.

The Elders Returned, as Promised!

by exWTslave in

wonderful love!.

Best of wishes exWTslave fading from the WTBTS.

Do you wonder why God would need an organization lead by other men (like the Pharisees and Sadducees) if Jesus Christ prepared the way for God to send everyone the Holy Spirit?

Disassociation

by evilone in

jw
friends

hi all, i haven't posted here in quite some time.. just as an update, about two years ago, my wife and i moved to a big city about 500 miles away from the town in which we grew up.

we made this move in part to expedite the fading process, which was successful.

when we moved, as i described in an earlier post, we formally transferred from our home cong (where our families are) to a local cong in our new city, and then transferred twice more so as to get lost in the shuffle.

ABibleStudent

Hi evilone, DON'T write a DA letter. Why play by the WTBTS's rules? If anyone bothers you, just tell them that you will contact them when you want their advice/counsel.

Enjoy your life with your wife.

Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

I feel sorry for just about everyone else.. even the elder's wife

by ohnightdivine in

jw
friends

i've been busy with with being busy after knowing ttatt.

after this sunday's meeting i was invited over by one congregation elder's wife to an afternoon coffee.

we're not very close because of the age gap but we've "known" each other for so many years now, being in the same congregation.. she is like the anchor of the group.

ABibleStudent

Listening and being a non-judgemental friend is more important than giving her advise ohnightdivine. Just ask her simple questions about how she feels, what causes her to feel sad, and what makes her feel happy. The more you learn about her, the easy it will be to help her to search the internet for possible solutions.

If you know her email address, in a couple of months you could send her an anonymous email with a short note like "Is something really bothering you but you don't know why? Find how to bring balance to your life that you want by visiting www.freedomofmind.com (or get it off your chest by posting on www.jehovahs-witness.net)"

Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

Helping your Loved one correlate WT mind control by exposing OTHEr groups

by Jon Preston in

ive been watching "the following" lately and my wife watched a few episodes with me.

she couldnt fathom at first the depth that mind control or "destructive influence" can take you.

so in accordance with hassans "freedom of mind" i have decided that exposing other cults to my wife will help me help her to find correlations to the wt and hopefully lead her to the bite model.

ABibleStudent

Hi Jon Preston, As long as you only help your wife understand what is BITE control using non-WTBTS organizations and do not make direct comparisons with the WTBTS, you should do well helping your wife to critically think for herself. The easiest group to compare to are the Pharisees and Sadducees using the Bible, because the Bible shows how Jesus Christ felt about them.

Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,
