  my son asked me 40 years ago.

  because if he hadn't, we would not be the person we are.. any opinions?

  JW marriages: “They” looked good on paper.

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i applaud anyone, male or female, who overcomes shallowness and looks at a person’s deeper qualities, especially in regard dating and marriage.

  the movie and fashion industry does much to institute shallowness to the point that, in my opinion, it promotes outright discrimination and judgmentalism even as they give lip service to tolerance..

  on the other hand, among jehovah’s witnesses, there seem to be a preponderance of incompatible marriages.

  This has been reinforced by the words of Anthony Morris III at the US Branch visit: women should not marry a man who is not at least a ministerial servant. It was implied the marriage is doomed otherwise.

  where can i find this so i can show it to a JW?

  Loyalty...When Is It Right or Wrong?

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you will remember the frequent exhortations to "maintain loyalty" to jehovah..a thinly disguised instruction to never question the wts.

  wt (simplified) 7/15 2011 pp10-16.

  "8] no matter what false teachers say, we will not follow them!

  so, i'll go first.. i dreamt last night that i was still at uni, i said goodbye to one of my lecturers.

  then ulrika jonsson (former weather girl, shooting stars captain, and swedish nymphomaniac) gave me a lift home in her car - wtf?!

  she kept trying to change the cd whilst trying to drive (reaching on the floor, looking for a cd).

  Some thoughts on guilt.

  by New day in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  had an interesting conversation with my wife recently.

  she struggles with physical, emotional and psychological problems which have often caused her to miss meetings.

  she mentioned how she is equally tortured by guilt if she misses meetings and ministry, and severe stress if she does them.

  Don't answer their questions - they're being judgemental tossers.

  Landy is that how you judged my post?

  How can you feel guilty about something which has misled you? Still love the bros and sis on the ground but the higher ups

  
  

  Maybe you should tell the bros and sis how you feel about the higher ups. Carefully.

  Coming to terms with the Watchtower experience

  by Lee Elder in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it is a challenge coming to terms with your experience as a jehovah's witness.

  if you were born and raised as a jw, and your parents were true believers, the impact on your life is profound, lasting, and largely negative.

  in some cases quite abusive emotionally, spiritually, financially, educationally and yes, even sexually.. i recently watched "trumbo", and was quite moved by dalton trumbo's speech to the screen writers guild in 1970. here is an excerpt that i think is quite relevant to this topic:.

  It reminded me of Ray Franz comments on the "organization" and how there are simply victims of victims.

  i never agreed with this. the faithful slave gave out the food. they were of the anointed and knew that they were. i needed to be obedient. i was.
