Hi Savan,

You have come to a good place. Extremely nice people here and lots of support of the kind that isnt conditional like it is in the Organization.

Glad you are here!

Did I open the gate to the realm of demons?

by redpilltwice in

this is what happened.

i had a sore tendon in my wrist.

i could work with it, but nevertheless the pain was there.

redpilltwice maybe we will reach some widely accepted hybrid form some day, but hey, for now my healing lady saved me some paracetamol/acetaminophen.

And your liver will stay healthy too! Good job redpill!

I heard a stat recently that something like one seventh of the worlds population takes over 80% of the worlds pharmaceuticals.

Thats some crazy numbers there!

It won’t be much longer now.

a couple weeks back my husband got a phone call from his brother, whom he hasn’t spoken to in nearly 17 years.

well i take that back, he did speak to him at the family reunion, asking him to leave.

my husband basically told him to f off, he would leave when he’s darn good and ready, but he didn’t use the word darn.

Happiness and a well lived life are the best revenge.

If you and your husband have a good marriage (and it sounds like you do) then get a good nights rest and arrive at the Kingdom Hall for the service looking glowing and contented.

You and all of us here know your sister is not happy. No Witnesses are happy unless they are happy for some peripheral reason other than being a JW.

Shes miserable - youre happy. A picture worth a thousand words right there!

Did Geoffrey Jackson Actually Reject His Faith During the ARC Hearing?

by xjwsrock in

as portrayed in the convention videos this year about sergei (the fictional jw character in cold-war-era ussr), the jw leaders expect loyalty, even enduring imprisonment and/or death.

in one scene sergei was offered an early release from prison if he would sign a statement renouncing his religion.

well he refused and spent 5 years in prison as a result.

I remember reading a thread here on his wordage "Guardians Of the Doctrine".

It sounded so modern and "worldly and Harry Potter-ish when he said it, it didnt even sound like JW speak.

Turns out it was first uttered by the pope a few years ago,

Good to see you - you little red dot you!

So lots of emotion in the moment but no real follow through by the Witnesses?

Sounds familiar...

Do witness children have to be obediant to their disfellowshipped parent if the parents are separated.

by agnosticnow in

hi.i am disfellowshipped and separated from my jehovahs witness wife and i am having custody problems with my 13 year old daughter.she has been advised by her mother that she does not have to listen to me and so she dictates to me when she comes to stay.it seems i have lost any fatherly authority and my ex wife has given my daughter the ability to go against my wishes in regards to custody arrangements.having grown up a witness i understand that even though a parent is disfellowshipped the child must still obey the biblical command to be obedient to there parents.it also teaches that the wife must support her ex husband in regards to parenting.i am trying to find any watchtower/awake articles that support this.in any case i would appreciate any links ,information or advice.. regards pat..

agnosticnow,

I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your video above. It breaks my heart that you cant see your grandchildren.

I have to give you a lot of credit for trying so hard to be with your children and grandchildren. The world needs more dads like you.

This question has two answers I think.

The answer "in print" would be that you must have love and respect for your DFd parent. Normal family relationships remain.

The other answer that is not a quotable quote, is that a DFd parent is spiritually dead and in some undefined way "less".

Teenagers challenge authority and draw away from their parents a lot of times during the teen years.

With slight encouragement from the Witnesses it is easy to see how a 13 year old could seek their own counsel, so to speak.

You may need to address this through your lawyer depending on how things go but one thing is for certain...

you can make loads of fun for your daughter during your scheduled time together.

Fun movies, access to music she loves, her own space, just whatever she is interested in that is harmless and yet not easy to do in the Witness environment.

You didnt mention if you are hoping for a reconciliation from your separation or whether you are seeking reinstatement but naturally that would factor in to what you feel comfortable allowing your teen in your home.

My best to you, the teens years are interesting!

To be fair, the clapping was about seeing him again in the resurrection, not that he died. That doesn't negate the fact that everything they do is based on false reasoning, and that a child likely died when he didn't have to (don't know if blood would have truly saved him), but it seems a bit click-bait-y to link their clapping with his death rather than his resurrection.

Hi dub,

I like having your take on this. I get very angry and emotional when the blood issue and children comes up.

I want a clear perspective and I see your words as a good counterbalance.

Balance in all things, right?

The question still on the table (for me) is why wont the Org let parents know about that letter?
