my marriage failed because of the Borg... I was disfellowshiped for sex and felt I would never get reinstated if i didn't get married, which was never pressed in all the JC's I had prior to the big one.. I married a girl 6 months after meeting her.. and i never went back to meetings either.. so then I was like why did I get married .. any way thats my storry
i was thinking you were leaning towards those who got married for sex in the truth and then realize they don't even like this person... the circumstances for everyone will vary greatly on this one for sure thanks for clarifing... wasn't sure if belief keep you together/ though incompatible... hadn't considered when one leaves WT...

your title and subsequent post are confusing... did it survive, whats inevitable.. ??
just ron and i spent a few hours today helping clean up tornado damage in ridgway.
i never got to do anything like that when i was a witless.
my field circus hours were never deemed high enough to participate in quick builds or disaster relief work..
good for you .. I'm glad you did some good today I didn't.. LOl
my field circus hours were never deemed high enough to participate in quick builds or disaster relief work.
why would they care about hours to participate in that.. we had a 2day hall in 84,, every one got in on that, it gave the people who didn't have alot of hoursa chance to participate... man they really push the field circus...
glad I got out in 87...

I'm missed the train .. lol you have a pm lady viola
last week as i listened to the public talk, i noticed.
that several times the speaker referred to the watchtower.
as the source of authority.. he said that "in the july1, 1980 watchtower page 15. paragraph 4 it says".... it is like he was looking up a bible.
Do some research on cults and see if they're allowed to do that?
I did some research on cults... found out it doen't have to be one human leader either, though the brother who brought me in kept repeating that and I quote " every thing about Jehovah's Witnesses is like a cult, except that they have one human leader.... so we can't be a cult"
A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.... here's a definition I just looked up... don't tell me you don't venerate the Governing Body ..
Oh and by the way counting your time on here is completely unscriptural.... you are never supposed to talk to us, and never about scriptural matters or have they changed that? does the society want you to talk to apostates ? and count it as preaching time ..
WE've already heard the good news and made our choice ... you are doing a disservice to all the meek hearted ones who need the message .. is jehovah directing you here...

how can you not see they way you follow the govening body .. is your cult leader... and you live in isolation ... anyone who is not a witmess is bad association... how many friends do you have outside the kingdom hall...
wake up man you are worshiping a magazine... for God sake ... why do the require you to read every publication ...

firstly a few rules.. - increase in numbers primary goal.
- new laws must feel the same as past ones.. - cant revolutionize and feel mainstream, .
- changing doctrine acceptable, only cant change everything at once.
Flipper that was my take.. at first.. so i had to dig deep..
something new ... tithing .. instead of field service ... it sounds crazy ... but in JW land what isn't ...maybe they can recruit OBVES he's good with numbers LOL...
i can recall a few.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki801ccg9yo.
