  how do spouse's treat their partners if they leave the cult?

  by mickbobcat in

  so i was fortunate enough to have a wife that listened and saw what i was saying was true and that the cult is bs.

  but i wonder how bad it is in a relationship that one goes out of the cult and the other stays in.

  i can see that being a real issue for a marriage.

  Mine came to an end almost immediately. Then she left the dubbies herself, once we'd split. However, it was aways going to be a match made in hell. So little choice to start with!

  It doesn't sound too bad!

  I hated attending meetings. And I absolutely detested door to door work.

  But, on thinking about it, what a great time for waverers to commence a slow fade without attracting attention!

  Has Anyone Gotten Disfellowshipped Here and For What??

  sex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.

  even if you weren’t disfellowshipped , do you know why some people you know were disfellowshipped?

  ?.

  Booted for associating with other disfellowshipped persons. Later one of the London head honchos announced to the press that choosing to shun was just a personal matter. But I didn't get an apology from the DF'ing committee. I suspect the head honcho was lying..

  Removing Historic Monuments and Statues - Does the Term "Historical" Make it Right or Wrong?

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  5 years ago

  after further review and thought, i really don't see how removing a monument or statue that may be truly offensive to a large group of people is in some way rewriting history.. i think of germany or other parts of europe.

  you don't see swastikas on buildings or statues of hitler or mussolini or other upper level generals in public.

  would it be good for a person (think jewish) to drive around a city and see hitler in a public park, even though it is "historical?

  All initially noble movements are eventually hi-jacked by malcontents and / or anarchists in order to further their own ends. Basically they jump on whatever band-wagon is around and scream persecution at the first opportunity. Some people are fooled; some are not.

  Thunderous Applause Around The Stadium

  growing up in the 70's and 80's in the jw religion who remembers the massive stadium gigs the watchtower used to hold?.

  we used to denounce false religion in the starkest of terms.

  we were right and by god we were letting anyone who listened know it.

  i still like the commentary on the jw.org monthly’s, i can skip through some parts.

  but it seems like he is pushing too hard to put out videos and the quality is getting very low on the content..

  If Mr. Evans was posting incognito I would probably regard him with as much respect as I do the many folk who have posted here anonymously and in doing so have been of great help to ex's and would be leavers. As it is, I fear that what I see is mainly self-aggrandisement and as such I find his videos impossible to watch.
