  My wife just told me to move out...

  by nolongerconfused in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  because of "religious" differences, she now wants me to move out and "separate"...i said what biblical grounds does she have for her request?.

  she couldnt respond...she said she'd rather be beaten up by me than have an "apostate" in the house.... this org definitely encourages conditional love.... i don't know what to do...by the way, we dont have children.

  I know how you feel .. I really do .. what got me through it was my relationship with jehovah was stronger than my relationship with the organazation. they always told us you have to have a good relationship with GOD.. so do just that..

  good luck..

  the other side of disfellowshipping

  by nowwhat? in

  personally i hate it when you come face to face with someone disfellowshiped and you can't do a simple acknowledgement or greeting.

  they are obviously making an effort to be there to be reinstated.

  as i recall back in the 1970's they did allow this but what is always the case some took advantage of this provision and in engaged in full blown conversations.

  yes the total we can't even stand the sight of you is really bad...

  I have a question along these lines.. was thinking of starting a thread on this, but it's fitting here.

  When I was DF'd in 1987, they told me I could sit anywhere in the hall..that the spirit protected everyone from me during the meeting.. LOL so I sat up close with everyone.. at which, durning the meeting some would exchange a glance and a smile with me, then a look of horror and panic at the thought of me ...

  Then the elders told me that I need to sit at the back of the hall because I made the congregation feel uncomfortable.. I remember most Df's people did sit at the back of the usually out of shame .. I didn't want to be like that..this was the final straw and why I walked away..

  My Question is .. Is it now policy for DF'd people to sit at the back of the hall? does anyone know either way? I thought I saw on a post that it was, or do most just do that out of shame..

  thanks

  Fluff: The Severe US Actor Shortage

  by metatron in

  2. friends

  ok, enough with conspiracies (for now).

  why don't us leaders deal with the severe shortage of actors in this country?.

  every year, the us fails to produce enough competent actors to meet its needs and so, must rely on foreign imports.. like hugh laurie.

  I've Come To Realize That "Facts" Don't Mean Much If A Person Refuses To Accept Them

  by minimus in

  ...and that applies to religion as well as politics.. if someone simply believes such and such is true, it doesn't really matter whether you "prove" it or not.

  people will believe what they want to believe..

  Because they're too busy being bad actors themselves.

  actually they are really good actors ..... they are just not Good Looking enough to make it in Hollywood..

  I'm repeating something I heard once.. "Politicians are actors who can't make it in Hollywood because they are not Good Looking".. I think it's true..

  Today's watchtower study... Ugh.

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  watchtower studies like today's really make me feel anger for this cult.

  i mean almost all of them do but this one is one of those articles that takes things too far.. i mean they are condemning the people who are trying to help/save the earth because it's "satan's" world and instead are saying that religious salesmen with magazines are doing way more than the others!like are you f**king kidding me?another reason why i hated this study article is for what some of the young ones did in response to the study.

  as one was unwrapping a piece of candy, he decided to throw the wrapper on the ground.

  so are they a religious non profit corporation?

  how is this dicotomy possible that they could generate such revenue and not make an accounting to irs?.

  originally known as the peoples pulpit association, the organization was incorporated in 1909 when the society's principal offices moved to brooklyn, new york.
