Honestly the term makes me want to barf. After finding out "The Truth" is nothing but lies, I really can't stand hearing that term.
The name Jehovah too makes me want to hit something.
I really hate the Org.

How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?
by stuckinarut2 init's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".
"is he 'in the truth'?".
most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.

I downloaded Win10 when it came out as a free upgrade and so far it's been ok.
2 issues I have are my aspect ratio gets enlarged upon waking from sleep.
The only other problem is many times the computer doesn't wake up properly and I have to force restart.
Mother than that it runs ok. Games run smoother and Bluetooth works properly.

My favorite bible version is when reverted back to its original form, a tree.
NIV and NRSV are two pretty solid translations.

I echo the words of those who have already commented. Chin up and do positive things with your wife. Plan a weekend getaway, buy her flowers unexpectedly, buy her a small gift for no reason at all. Plan little things every once in a while as a family that will make them miss a meeting here and there.
My wife sounds an awful lot like your except we don't have kids yet. She is open now but it takes time.
Sadly though some may never wake up so just be prepared to deal with that. Remember all the stories the Borg says of unbelieving mates who years later came into the truth? Well your story may be the opposite. It just takes time.

Had the C.O visit this week...went out on service and Wow
by MrsR-Awaken inthis is my first post here (not being comments) but i still have to tell my story but for that i need to get my mind together in other to give as much detail as possible to be able to share it.
will do in a future post.. anyway i had to share this.. so i went out on service this morning (i never do i always end up excusing myself because i hate field service) reason i did was to see what the new c.o had to say and he sure did say something.
he was saying what we had to present and he went over the watchtower magazine.

@toesup
You can NEVER do anything right according to the JW cult. Enough is never enough! I remember hearing, "if you go out in field service for 2 hours, can you do 2 and a half hours. If you can do 2 and a half hours, could you do 3?" Ugh!!!
Thats funny. The brothers at our hall tries similar tactics. Ours is the lowest per hour average in the circuit so the C.O. just loves us!(sarcasm)
Anyways the remedy was to make the afternoon field service group meet at 1pm instead of 12:30. This was supposed to impel the friends to stay out an extra half hour. Instead, people still quit at noon and now nobody shows for afternoon service.LOL!!

Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy
by cofty ini intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.
there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.
there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.

To all JDub lurkers: How can you continue to preach knowing that you are telling lies?
by macys inthis is a damn serious question.
you must know by now that jerusalem was not destroyed in 607 bce and that 607 was initially picked by ct russell by using his "pyramid scheme" measurements.
there is no hiding these facts yet you continue to preach this nonsense.

Not so easy for those of us with wives and husbands still fully committed. Walking on eggshells. Have a little compassion for people who are still coming to terms with learning all the things we learned were not as they seemed. We have to tread carefully.
Totally agree. When you have a spouse who your slowly working on it takes time for both to get on the same page, and that's if they are willing to listen to being with. There are many out there that have to take it slow.
I'd have to say that after learning the truth it's nearly impossible to engage in the ministry.

Powerball Jackpot up to 1.3 Billion Dollars. Do you think the governing body bought any tickets?
by My Name is of No Consequence inwhat if the governing body members bought a ticket or somehow obtained one.
then the unthinkable happens...they won!
how would they be able to hide that?

Has anyone tried printing and distributing the pamphlet from JWFacts.com out in serve us? I told the wife that that's the only thing that will get me back out doing that but then again, staying home on a Saturday morning is even more appealing. -

Why does it seem to be unhappy people who are attracted to the JWs?
by new boy ini have had time to think about this........... i was an attendent for many years.......... and looking up and down the rows at every family that was seating there in the khs........... no one was happy!.
i think of my mother (who brought this religion into our house)......she was one of the most unhappy and miserable people you would ever meet!
she was a spiritual orphan with few friends and no real family to speak of.. she got the "good news" back in 1950, that "the world" was a bad place and god, would soon be killing most everyone......she was thrilled!...............

I don't know 1 college grad with a decent career who has converted in at least the last 10 years in my area.
I think the jig is up with the young people in my area. They can see through the deception and the lies and yet they stay in.
Many in the local area are going to college and getting good careers saying that they will pioneer and never do it. So hopefully this religion will finally fall apart with this newer generation of young people.
