  first, i am married, but the marriage ended 11 years ago.

  no sex, no emotion, just roommates paying the bills.

  i met a wonderful jw gal about a year ago and we have been friends.

  Even if you divorced your wife, she cannot marry you unless you had scriptural grounds for divorce, ie, your wife has to comit adultery, honey. You see you are not scripturaly free to remarry and therefor if she would marry you, she would be considered an adulteress. It is confusing, we know.

  You have fallen for a woman who is in a cult, a high control cult! Your best bet is to try to get her out of JW. She will be disfellowshipped if she has any sexual contact with you. She will be shunned by family and friends who are JWs. You had better be worth it.

  Best of luck to both of you. You will need it.

  my friend gave me a book she had, called "facing codependence" by pia mellody.

  it's not a new book but sounded interesting, so i started reading it this morning.

  after 20 pages, i put the book down & started bawling.

  I just can't figure out if Jehovah's Witnesses are more like zombies or robots. Elders and MS are most like robots and the rank and file are more like zombies, but it is difficult to discern the line of demarcation.

  Questions for your JW Friends & Family

  i've gotten nowhere debating theology with the jws in my life as a result of circular logic.

  are you 100% sure of your beliefs?.

  have you proven them to yourself?.

  after more than a month of not attending the meetings, my girls will be returning to the meeting tomorrow.

  their father is taking them.

  i was so happy because my girls were free from the boredom, drudgery and mind control inflicted upon those that attend.

  You can get your kids out because they are still young and it sounds like they are already questioning the craziness they are learning at the Kingdom Hall.

  The Bible and it's promise of Heaven and various other things

  by confusedandalone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now in no way am i trying to discredit anyones beliefs or make fun, but once you get to heaven what is the plan once you get there.. of course, we always overlay extremely physical things upon the experience of heaven... milk and honey... ruiling over the earth etc... truthful the whole idea sounds so boring / mundane /monotonous.

  spending all of eternity serving god by carry messages here and there?.

  watching humans... i guess spending time with family that are also there and reminiscing.

  how can i tell without even looking at the schedule that it is time for the review?

  my wife decides she is not going to the meeting.

  she told me earlier this week we had an invitation for dinner/drinks with one of our neighbors down the street.

  Everyone is afraid to answer for fear of humiliating themselves by not answering the question using the exact approved phrasing that the conductor is looking for. It is a collasal waste of time.

  Update for end of august

  by ILoveTTATT in

  2. friends

  i have learnt to keep my mouth shut in public and my "real life".

  this is a huge advancement.

  i kind of screwed up by telling some of ttatt to someone about two weeks ago (the conversation just took a weird turn), but thankfully, he has even more "apostate" doubts than i do!!

  If we all work to help someone learn ttatt, and they in turn help others to learn ttatt, it is just a matter of time.

  Last night we saw the movie "the Butler." It dealt heavily on racism and the civil rights movement in the 50's, 60's & 70's. It started as a small movement and now, most young people I talked to don't even know the extent of the problem.

  The WTBTS will go down, if we all work to promote awareness.

  We loved watching this historic moment. Thank you for posting it.

  Is this a sign of how deep we are into the time of the end? I can just hear the stupid dubs asking this question.
