  Thanks for the comments. I consider this a blessing actually. We have been fading for the past year and this situation just accelerated our final curtain for the Watchtower. My wife, who was a very tough nut to crack, is disgusted and is happy to leave this chapter in our life behind. 👍👏👏🍾😇

  So we get to the restaurant and they are late. 10 minutes after getting there we get a call and the guy says that they cannot come. I said it's ok we can try again another time. He says no that I need to "talk to the elders". 😳

  Apparently these people are spreading rumors about some offense committed without my knowledge. And apparently this offense is so bad that we can't even have a meal with them!! Rude people.

  Just curious - is apostasy grounds for divorce?

  by LifesNotOver in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know only adultery is supposed to be grounds for "scriptural" divorce.

  i'm a wicked apostate in their eyes, but my believing husband and i still can't get a divorce that would allow him to remarry.

  we currently are separated - i have left him.

  The whole idea is goofy considering the whole religion is fake. I like Listeners idea of just telling the elders that you had a man friend sleep over. You don't have to go into detail. Just tell them and wiggle your eyebrows up and down and they'll get the point.

  Which Org 'directives' did you blatantly ignore

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember that we were always encouraged to let everyone at work know that you were one of jw's and therefore would not participate in any of their functions, parties etc.. this i outrightly refused to do.

  my reasoning was that i was employed and paid to do a job and therefore my religious beliefs were a personal matter and therefore had nothing to do with my work.

  secondly i had to work with these people.

  Revised New world translation in other languages

  by TheWonderofYou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think the translators are now very busy or even in the endspurt to present next year the editions in many other long expected languages like spanish, french, dutch, german...perhaps there will be even two spanish versions.. this will spark a new fire in the hearts of the publishers to go out and evangelize using the bible.

  month to month a new translation is available on jw library app, like portoguese since july.

  but they will not use the paper in door-to-door but the app.. insiders have already access to parts of many of those coming translations and are very happy with the translation comments like "really beautiful translated" are typical..

  They say it's "beautifully translated" just like they say the stupid convention this year was "beautiful" and " the best convention ever". They say a lot of things. Getting a cult persons point of view is useless at best. We all know the NWT13 is trash but you can't tell them that.

  My heart's not in it

  by What is Truth? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know how when your asked to talk about something your not interested in how annoying it is, or difficult to debate something from the opposite side of your view.

  after learning ttatt i've come to regard the nonsense the org spouts as quite evil then to have to give parts about how great it is makes me hate it that much more.. story aside, what might you say to the elders to get them to dismiss it or get off your back if you told them your heart's not in it any more?.

  not the obvious it's a stupid hypocritical cult that needs to be wiped from the face of the earth..

  Go with severe depression. Worked like a charm for me. Although it took the dorks 6 months, they finally let me step down as an elder. (During those 6 months I didn't do a single assignment or comment at meetings either)😉

  This generation will by no means pass away

  by Darryl in

  good morning i hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

  there has been a lot of talk about the "new light" concerning the generation teaching.

  it's been a major part of the prophecy concerning the last days and of course since jws are the only ones able to decipher and understand prophecy it is of great importance to get this main prophecy right.

  Bro. Splane used a vague scripture with reference to Joseph to try and explain the overlapping generation thing. It makes no sense.

  Genesis 50:22,23 states: 22 Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father’s family. He lived a hundred and ten years 23 and saw the third generation of Ephraim’s children. Also the children of Makir son of Manasseh were placed at birth on Joseph’s knees.

  So in 110 years Joseph saw 3 generations of Ephraim's children. That roughly makes a generation 36 years long. There is nothing biblically to support an "overlapping generation".

  The generation Jesus was talking to in his prophecy saw all those things occur. There is no second fulfillment. And if there is, God has a lousy way of announcing it to the earth. The Jehovah's Witnesses preaching is a monumental failure. Surely if God was backing a group to save people he would do a better job than having them stand next to carts, silently waiting for someone foolish enough to approach them.
