Divorce/Terms of Agreement
by SFSDGUY ini'm a first time poster and i apologize if this topic has been discussed before.
when i met my wife she was disfellowshiped and were happy, got married, and had a kid.
after we had our daughter she got reinstated so her family and her jw "friends" could spend time with our daughter.

Will your wife sign such a clause?
Even if she did, the teachings of the religion, if effective, will unquestionably influence your daughter's thinking about all non-JWs... and that unfortunately includes you.

Sorry to rain on your planned out-of-court negotiations.
My take is that your divorce will end any real control you have over your wife. When she has custody of your daughter, you will not be able to control Watchtower influence, just as your wife will not be able to control how you educate your daughter when you have custody. Verbal and written agreements to the contrary will end up being futile. Your daughter will quickly find out that you are evil association and are bound for destruction at Armageddon whether you like it or not.
Divorce plays into her hand; since if the unbeliever departs, she is not bound to remain single. I can envision your wife getting remarried to a faithful Jehovah's Witness who will also support your wife and make sure your daughter is educated in all things JW.
Is there any chance of you sticking it out, for your daughter's sake?

What Are Your Predictions for 2020 and Beyond?
by The Bethelite in2020 the society will continue to have financial problems with massive pay outs because of their lack of protecting their young people from a religion that harbors thousands of pedophiles.
thus this and other religions that has an 1800's mentality will continue to lose their young people.
with the religion's lies easily found on the internet the smart ones will continue to leave in droves.

Nice correction WAEO!
SL wrote: "Armageddon.....maybe even in our lifetime...."
and that no doubt also means in their children's children's lifetime.

Need to vent. I am thinking of leaving my wife.
by goingthruthemotions ini am so sick of this cult, this religion has such a grip on her.
since i left in 2014, things just are getting progressively worse.
and she it's just getting deeper and deeper.

Why not show your wife what unconditional love looks like. Be a servant to her and hopefully she will see there is goodness outside of the cult.

Lack of zeal
by road to nowhere ini hear rumbling about the rank and file not having the same zeal they had when new.. lets see: door to door at the time least likely to find someone.
waste of a whole morning.
isolated.

Pardon the pun, but how can their be real zeal when you are on a 105 year road to nowhere.

2034 - A Future History of Jehovah's Witnesses
by slimboyfat ini don't know what i am talking about... read this post at your peril.
back in the 1960s there was, seemingly, a brief period of relaxation in authoritarianism among jehovah's witnesses.
those who have read raymond franz's 'crisis of conscience' will have heard the story about dan sydlik's remark about the need to 'open some windows to let some air in here'.

What REALLY defines a person as being anti-Semitic?
by The Fall Guy indoes criticism or opposition to the israeli government's zionist agenda legitimately constitute someone being branded as an anti-semite?.
is it this definition which is actually being targetted at certain members of the labour party?

You can spot anti-American sentiment when you see people dancing in the street after 9/11
Similarly you can be sure you are looking at anti-Semitism when the person you are talking to
- denies the holocaust
- thinks Israel has no right to exist
- supports rocket attacks on Israeli citizens
- believes Israel does not have the right to defend itself.
Etc.
