  "Not Easily Broken" as an eyelid opener for a spouse?

  by NeverKnew in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  not if your spouse is totally indoctrinated but maybe for one with an eyelid open?....

  i was asked to watch the movie "not easily broken" with morris chestnut and taraji henson.

  i believe my focus was supposed to be on the results of a couple losing sight of the proverbial threefold cord but as the movie progressed, i was struck by something quite different.. the wife is completely caught up with the perceptions of her peer group, the husband has grown weary of fighting for his wife's attention and affection and lastly we have a meddling mother-in-law whose influence over the daughter heavily contributes to the downward spiral of the marriage.

  Need help! Atheists/creationists/agnostics whatever

  ok guys i need help.

  for all those atheists or agnostics or maybe christian science people--what are some great sites to explore our existence, the universe, bible history and archaeology, pretty much all one needs to make a decision on their beliefs.

  lets show the lurking jws that we can collaborate on something, and help a confused fading jw (me) explor his options and actually research.

  My wife is truly a non-jw...

  by Jim_TX in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a little bit of background (for those of you who came in late).... i used to be a jw (no joke!).

  i married a jw wife.

  we were married for about 20 years, and i couldn't take it anymore - since i was no longer a jw, and didn't believe in their doctrines anymore.. i got divorced in 2002. since that time, i was solo, and then met a nice non-jw woman.

  You married a verysmart woman! Congrats!

  I had a double pleasure. Not only did I throw my own personal JW library into the dumpster, loose, unwrapped so that it came into contact with the other garbage, but when my mom passed away a year ago, I tossed her entire collection into the dumpster. Double the pleasure, double the fun!

  In the dumpster is where the Watchtower literature belongs.

  Mother Forces 5 Year-Old Son To . . .

  by Zandor in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  can anyone here, lay person or professional describe or give insights into the effects the following has on a child?.

  when my friend, the middle child of 3 siblings, was five years old, his mother took him by the hand and led him to the house where his father was having an affair with another woman.

  she opened the door to confront her husband who was actually in the act of having sex with the other woman, and deliberately exposed her young son to this drama.. .

  I messed up again... Opened my mouth... oh well, we'll see where the cards end

  by ILoveTTATT in

  so i hadn't talked to my friends on facebook for a while because i had been too busy on my page (now two pages) and my job, and my girlfriend.

  so i go on my fb account yesterday and i start talking to a "bible study" i had had while in mexico... after learning ttatt, i have dreamed of ways to tell him and his family to stay away from jw's, but i hadn't had the courage to do so because of a) wanting to get my family awakened first, and b) noticing the horribly bad reaction of the very few people i have actually talked to (three persons).... but anyways, i felt the need to tell him, the "bible study"... he is around 15. his mom was inactive for many years until we found her in "service" and then we started her on a study and she came back... at the time, i thought i was doing a correct thing, if i had known ttatt, no way in hell i would have done that.

  now it hurts my conscience, although to my credit, i had no idea of ttatt.. so his mom, him, his brother and sister are all in some way or another associating with jw's.. i wasn't intending to talk to him about ttatt, it just happened.... yesterday we started a conversation (a is him, b is me):.

  when i was an elder, i had a few couples approach me to confess that they either played around or went all the way.. i suspect there were many more that did not admit to it, though..

  You do not owe them anything. Tell them not to concern themselves with you anylonger and close the door or hang up, whichever the case may be.

  How I recently handled JWs at my door

  by Christian guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jws stopped by my house a couple weeks ago on a saturday morning.

  i knew that with others most likely waiting for them out in the car they probably did not then have much time to engage in any serious conversation.

  so i let them talk while i feigned interest in what they had to say.
