Contrary to News Reports the ZEAL is Still There

by steve2 in

zeal has always been a valued word in the jw arsenal.

even if you don't see it in your own local congregation, you keep hearing about it.

"zeal this" and "zeal that".

I just noticed that the word zeal is in the word

sleaze.

is that a fluke?

Need to Vent: Well this weekend is a wash, 3 days of my life i will not get back and wife is slipping in to cult mode

by goingthruthemotions in

yep, the cult fest is upon us....3 days of my life i will not get back....ughhhhhhhh.

and my wife has been slipping in to cult mode the last 2 days.....you know the look.

almost like a glazed over look with a side of guilt and a side of narrow mindedness.

Wow thats rough goingthrough.....

I didnt go last year. The year before I did. I made sure to sit way up high due to allergies/ heat/ whatever LOL

ate p-nut M&Ms all day and colored with the 4 year in the group.

There were enough GB videos to laugh at- that helped break up the boredom

I hear there are even more videos this year! (oh yay......)

JWism retaking control of wife's family

by The JHWH in

a situation regarding this religion has developed which i fear might have negative implications on me and wifes lives, and i'm looking for thoughts and advice in how to approach the situation.

i'll start with some background information to enlighten the situation.. i'm a male in mid-twenties, raised secularly, married to an ex-jw woman (on paper still a jw though), who's been raised in the jw religion, although somewhat untheocratically shall i say.

for instance her mother has 5 children with 3 different men, all non-jws, and has had many other relationships as well.

The JHWH
Millie – You slightly misread me. My wife is mentally out but hasnt DA'd herself. Her issues have been usually related to how the religion has affected her self-esteem, her look on life and natural phenomena etc.

Ok, I see...she is mentally out but not Dfd

Youve been getting good advice here.

In your research hopefully you can build on what she doubts already?

by OrphanCrow in

this interview was posted april 16, 2015 on youtube.

lorenz reibling's replies to the reporter in argentina are in english.. lorenz reibling is intimately connected to the watchtower society and, according to some sources, is a jw himself.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3ssa-9yvii.

so who is lorenz reibling?

millie210

Oh my OrphanCrow, this reads like a compelling sci fi novel.

So chilling!

I dont have time to watch the videos right now but I will!

Thank you for doing all this work.

How do you manage to keep JW friendships after you left the organization?

by Bonsai in

jw
friends

it seems incredibly difficult.

those who leave the org.

(or fade) no longer have anything in common with jehovah's witnesses, nor do they want to stick around to get radiated by the fear and guilt that saturates every aspect of a witnesses' life.. i've lost all but one of my jw friends quite simply because i can no longer condone the evil things that they condone.

It was as much as I could to not blow my cover and post a tirade about this being bollocks when talking about anyone who goes from being a Witness in "good standing" to one who has faded, no longer attends or is otherwise considered no longer in "good standing".
The irony of this statement is completely lost on the fawning commentators posting their crap about the org and true friendship.

Wow, that was rough to read....

When one of the flock bolts it sure stimulates the anxiety in the others doesnt it?

"I love you...I love YOU too.........I love you MORE...."

gag.

seriously. who talks that way???

well I do- but its to my puppy!

Greetings to you JHWH,

You say your wife is still a JW but not on paper. Does that mean she is disfellowhipped?

If so, she will have a whole process to go through before they will "allow" her back in.

So that is good for you.

You said that your wife has talked to her mother about her "issues" with the religion.

Can you share what her particular "issues" are?

If so, there will be people here that can give you more ideas to help you.

The super spiritual ones dont talk to me except to hug me or "counsel me". This includes my extended family sadly.

My less spiritual minded friends are cool with it and dont act any differently.

I own a business and almost all my employees are JW and they are all fine. As a matter of fact I have had two contact me about being hired this week.

I am not Dfd. I just stopped going. So that may be a big part of it.

I fully support them in their JWism, after all I was one my entire life and would still be if I hadnt been exposed to a mess made by elders that I took objection to.

My goal is to reverse witness. I do this by living a happy life and letting them see that leaving doesnt "ruin" life, instead it makes it better.

That is the positive side.

On the other side....

I miss my family. A lot.

I cry over that loss. A little.

What makes me cry a "little" instead of a "lot" is I am channeling it. I have a deep and determined goal to extricate people.

I like what Ray Franz said in his book C of C....this is not who they would be if not for the greater wrong (what they have been trained to think)

I am paraphrasing but you get the idea.

Hot topic in congregations: having a beard/goatee

by nevaagain in

jw
friends

i am starting this topic because i was wondering, i see many who leave "the truth" are glad because they can finally have a beard.

is having a beard really a no go in congregations?

how is / was it in your congregation?.

What a thought out and informative email R. Jerome Harris. Thank you for sharing your view of how young Africans are perceiving things..

I am guessing the Org is busy trying to address that right now. I think they realize where they are growing and where they are not.

I am curious about the picture you posted....it looks familiar but I cant remember which publication it is in? Can you tell me?

Interesting that Adam is shown with his left hand resting against his rib. I guess they didnt want anyone looking for a scar from the taking of Eve?

So much for anyone saying they dont think about what they are saying in their artwork. It is manipulative in its base but they do think about it very carefully!

Synthetic Blood in 2 Years? How Will the GB Shoot This Down?

by DarioKehl in

interesting read.

if they already allow "fractions," there's no way they can ban this.. here:www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/nhs-to-give-volunteers-synthetic-blood-made-in-a-laboratory-within-two-years-10343279.html.

The Liaison Committee in my area has approved the use of the epidural blood patch

which is basically a mini autologous transfusion for women after childbirth. They seem to be creeping further and further in to the technology of what is available.
