  Accio, Welcome. I'm so sorry your heart is hurting. This is especially difficult because he gave you so many mixed signals. This is an indication of his lack of character. Taking up withsomeone else so soon after your break-up is yet another sign of bad faith. As hard as it may seem now, you are better off that he showed his true colors to you before you wasted any more time with him. What to do now? First: for heaven sake, STOP reading his messages, STOP taking his calls. ANY communication with him is damaging to your recovery. Now is the time to heal, to immerse yourself in your studies, have fun with your friends, meet new people etc. It will be hard at first because you are obsessed with him. If there are councelors at your school talk to them for additional help. Good luck to you!

  Head of the House?

  by cofty in

  i often see comments by ex-jws that would suggest some men still view themselves as "head of the house".

  sometimes comments from women appear to support the idea as well.. how many still see things this way or have you completely got over it?.

  In the late 70's there was a cigarette ad with the slogan: "You've come a long way baby!" I can't help but think of this when reading these comments basically saying that men are seldom enforcing their Bible sanctioned headship. Things have certainly changed from when I grew up. (which is good) My father was a dictator in our house. After a meeting or assem part on headship he was even worse. My mother chafed under his thumb and used passive-aggression to cope. Neither was happy least of all me!

  Talk about depressed

  by zeb in

  my wife is preparing to spend hundreds on a lap top to take into the field service.

  i carefully mentioned that the wts has gone from condemning the web to now using it.. her reply" no they never condemned it just said to people to be careful in using it".

  my memories of convention speakers must be different and" this is the way things are now; its all downloaded from the web".. with that as a given then why isnt the wts issuing computers to any one who wants one?

  What Drew You To The Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i did believe for the first 30 years of my life that they had been picked by jehovah god to dispense the truth as best as imperfect humans could.

  then, everything became questionable.

  i had read anti jw books in the past but franz's books really got to me but not immediately.

  i have been reading the posts on who is and or had been an elder.

  it amazes me at what many have said.

  perhaps i have misunderstood what they were saying.

  Ben, if Holy Spirit is involved in appointments only insofar as the canidates honesty and how those recommending him discern that he meets the Bible qualifications, then couldn't a qualified man in ANY church be said to have been appointed by Holy Spirit as well?
