Why is the Memorial so important to JWs?

by Ding in

seriously.... there's a meeting where wt dogma is taught... nothing unusual there.... they pass around bread and wine and in the vast majority of khs no one at all partakes.. if anything, it is a pantomime of wt teaching that the "great crowd" of "other sheep" have no part in the blood and body of christ.. hardly something to celebrate....

''I love the organization''

by punkofnice in

..........said mrs punk!.

this was how she justified screaming abuse at me an slamming doors when she overheard me tell a bloke who was about to get baptized why i quit the meetings.

in fairness i wouldn't have said a thing but he asked me.

JustThatGirl007

Punk, I swear, your wife and my mother were twins separated at birth. My mom spills the same kind of freakish garbage. She can't let anyone tell her she's wrong. She loves Jehovah. She loves the org. The elders protect her.

I have so much anger right now ... I don't even know what else to say. It disgusts me that there is this much hold over them. And NOTHING we say is getting through. I wish I knew how to break through that shell.

i'm on page 90 right now...the info is definitely new and gives me a totally diff view as to how i used to think of faithful and discreet slave.

i was thoroughly disgusted with the way the brothers handled the oral sex and leadership problem and the insight on the scriptures book...... still have alot of questions though.

MGG20, welcome to the board, sweetie. Please take things slowly, ask a lot of questions, and do your research. This is not an easy undertaking.

I'm Baltar's wife. Everything he said pretty much holds true for me, too, except that I'm atheist. How can I believe in something that has no proof of existence? Incidentally, I also no longer believe in the existence of satan.

Baltar and I hve been out almost a year, physically, though it's been a little bit longer for us mentally. We were both done by the time memorial of last year rolled around, but had to keep up appearances for my mother. She now knows we're done, but at the time, we lived with her & my dad and needed to keep having a place to live!

This is my blog, if you're interested in reading a little bit about us: http://theratherunusual.blogspot.com/ It doesn't have a lot of posts, so it shouldn't be terribly overwhelming for you to go through.

Much love to you, sweetie. You need it.

Can you be in Love with two persons? My Dilemma...

by Intel in

first, don't laugh.

i'm not some adolescent teen that is confused about his relationship.

what i am going to relate here has become a maior hard ship and is really gnawing at me.

JustThatGirl007

Intel -- You wrote this about a convo you had with your girlfriend: She answered that children that have both parents, in a sour relationship will feel more miserable than children that grow up without one of them, but are loved from both.

I can attest to the truth of that statement. My parents NEVER should have had kids, let alone stay together simply because they thought it best for us. HELL. NO.

Whatever decision you come to, I hope it brings you some peace. :)

Someone else suggested you wait to pursue anything w/ your wife until AFTER she publicly leaves the borg. I think that's good advice, if that's the decision you come to.

Philadelphia Ponos needs a swift kick in the ass. Or the face. Whichever feels more satisfying at the moment...

so i have a client i'm working at this morning.

in the break room i saw about 3 wt & awake!

rags.

Strangely, I also had dubs come to the house today. (For any who don't know, I'm Baltar's wife.) I was napping on the couch when I heard knocking, our 4 yr old opened the door as I was getting up (dammit, kid!), I was startled and foggy brained from having just been woken up. As I walked across the floor, I saw the usual smiling faces and a bible in hand. I smiled. "Jehovah's Witnesses?" Yes, duh. I was trying to think but couldn't and I'm a little bummed that I didn't immediately launch into a really great, rehearsed speech! All I could muster was, "Oh. Well, we're .... apostate here. Um. But thanks, though. You guys have a great day! Enjoy the weather!" I was all smiley and cheery.

THEN! THEN!!! I opened the door again and called out to them, "Oh! We're moving in March, so this place won't be a Do Not Call for long." They thanked me for the info.

WHAT THE HELL, JTG?!?!? COME ON! LOL!

I've heard elders make fun of gay people, Quendi. It's SICK. I'm glad you're out and free to be yourself.

I've been thinking about this since you posted yesterday. I have some questions for you.

1) Are you still in love with your wife or are you reminiscing?

2) Are you in love with your wife or are you in love with the idea of what could have been?

3) When your mind wanders, where does it go? Who comes to mind?

4) When you see yourself in the future, who is with you? First person that comes to mind.

It's been said that if you fall in love with 2 people, pick the 2nd one because if you really loved the first, you wouldn't have fallen in love with the 2nd.

I do not quite believe that to be true. I DO, however, believe that polyamory is real and legit. However, if the significant others in your life are not of that mindset, then you can not truly be poly. Not that you aren't, but that because they are not ok with it, you can not practice it. If you do, you lose them both. Trust me when I tell you that it's a no-win situation.

You have a decision to make. I hope it's the best one for everyone involved.

JustThatGirl007

BluesBrother, does your wife have any issue with you having faded? You said you guys sometimes go to Sunday meetings together. How does that work out for you? Do people hope you'll come back? Do they try to encourage you to come back?

I hope you don't mind the questions. I'm just curious. :)
