Remember the old days when Oral and Anal sex were not considered sexual relations and not worthy of
allowing a divorce?
Ah, those were the days.
in the key to family happiness book, the wbts says that if you have sex with your marriage mate after they cheat on you, and you knew it, you cannot divorce them.. i was disgusted by learning that.
i only discovered this recently, but i am very angry.
what if your husand tells you that he'll keep screwing other women if you don't have sex with him?

Ah, those were the days.
i've been wondering about this for some time.
if there are 60,000+ registered users on here, what percentage are actual non-dfed or non-daed witnesses?
if it was 1/3, that would be over 20,000 active/inactive witnesses that post and read these pages- and that's huge.
Its hard now but, it stands to reason that you wont always be a JW.
I believe that there is a right moment in life, and when that comes you will know how to seize it.
In the end, one has to be true to himself, not to others. In the mean time, I wish you all good luck,
and a measure of peace.
hi- i just wanted to say that i have been checking the website out for a few weeks and have read some horror stories and some sad ones.
but i have been studying with witnessess for about six months and can't help but feel that they're completely sincere and maybe even, the true religion.
i love the watchtower and awake and to me, none of that seems crazy.
Hi Penelope.
My husband is begging me to stop the bible study
I think you should listen to him. JWs DO break families. I was in for 30 or more years. I used to say to people that that wasnt true. But I lied. I didnt lie deliberatley, but I lied just the same.
You say that they seem nice, sincere people. Thats true. But THEYRE WRONG. Sincerity is not enough.
More than 70000 people are disfellowshipped each year. Believe me, that for most of them, that screws up their life big time.
If you like studing the bible, there are many oportunities JWs aside. But beware too: there are a lot of dangerous sects. Be careful.
Peace to you.
completly ignore disfellowshipped children and never speak at all to them , also what about the children of the disfellowshipped children that are growing up unaware of the "truth " ?
im thinking of writing to my inlaws who have never bothered with our child for two and a half years to tell them to just walk on by if they see us as it would confuse her if they saw us and acted as though nothing has happened .
then they will be good jws and obediant to the watchtower and not blame us for not letting them see her which is what they lie and tell people !.
i have tried many ways to get them to see the reality of what they are doing but to no avail and now its just too late !
i dont want thier sicko religion messing up my childs mind ever
! like it did mine and my husbands . i now actually want them to ignore us all . and by doing so they will be good jws ! problem solved !
BRAVO!
Yes. One large and influential family.
these comments and the references to the old publications are a true find.
have a read of this and you will never become one of the jw's!.
don't associate with outsiders (non-jehovah's witnesses).
Just stand over there in the corner, put your hands on your head and DONT TOUCH ANYTHONG (oops sorry, a freudian slip) I meant ANYTHING
i don't know if anyone has already posted this since i was in corfu island in the last 2 weeks.
it's from the jwn forum:.
september 2011 km says, "publishers auxiliary pioneering during march 2012 will have the option of working toward a 30-hour or a 50-hour requirement for the month.
So for those dubs excited about the fact that they had not heard of any conventions planned for 2012, and taking that as a sign that the end is verrrrrrrry near, this must be a blow. They have got to wait until at least april now.
i got the convention update from my mom, who attended this past weekend.
sounds like the society made the claim that immorality is escalating at a faster clip.
is that true?
That depends on ones definition of immorality.
When you consider Sodom and Gomorrah, ancient Rome, etc, I dont think that humanity is any different today, than ever before.
i have read coc, ccmc, isocf and captive of a concept.
i have been fading since april.
i have nothing to hold me back in wbts so i have decided to leave it.
Congratulations on making your decision umadevi. You have made the right choice.
well, as i mentioned before in one of my few other posts, i've been lurking here for some time now and finally decided it was time to face the facts and take action.. i was raised a jw (4th generation) and my parents were quite zealous when they got married.
mom was a regular pioneer and dad was a ms. i was the little jw 'rockstar' in my congregation, got baptized at 10, was giving talks and serving as an attendant at the hall and at conventions at such an early age.
auxiliary pioneered whenever i could.
Glad you have seen the "new light" Bucholz. Enjoy your life.
