  Conversation with my mother-in-law this morning

  by StarTrekAngel in

  2. beliefs

  i am skipping the details on how we got to this point.

  conversation was calmed and pleasant and while i know she is not the most educated person (she can hardly read), its hard to justify it by saying is a matter of ignorance.

  it is definitely something inside her that triggers on that very moment.. me: i don't know where all the money is going.

  It sounds like she is ready to drink the Kool Aid. She is unable to see the problems and is blindly following whatever they say.

  Setback

  by EdenOne in

  i saw this coming since my mother-in-law's funeral .... the congregation's "love-bombing" over my wife had its impact.

  i watched her drawing closer and closer to her friends in the congregation.

  then she decided she would attend the memorial.

  I am also sorry to hear your wife is drawing away from you. I would advise using humor with her. When she gives you the evil eye or says something nastyy say "ouch!" If you can joke about being ignored and left alone while she's goes off to do JW activities, that would be good. Try to be light hearted, cute and funny. Draw her back to you by contrasting cult life with the fun she could be having with you.

  Best wishes to you.

  i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.

  you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!

  what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses Happy?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know of the local congregation's issues, per an elder i know quite well.

  he has said that nearly everyone in the congregation is suffering emotionally and mentally.

  he said he has never seen so many witnesses with so many problems.

  Someone said being a JW in the internet age is "a constant fight against reality." That really is a good foundation for happiness now, isn't it?

  The Governing Body would be that frank if they thought they could get away with it.

  Hello All!

  by ihunt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i figure it's about time that i stop silently lurking around this community and actually add to the conversation, so here goes a first post.

  a little about me-i was born "half-in", that is, my mother has been a witness for the entirety of my life whereas my father has never been.

  i was an active part of the congregation (at least for what an unbaptized publisher can do) until i turned 18 and got an opportunity to attend a university (go school!).

  There was a sister that was killed in a car accident on the way home from a quick build. That was about 15 years ago and there is probably nothing about it on the internet.
