i feel so stuck.
i am married to a wonderful man.
i have been married for almost a decade and adore my husband.
Hi Cindy
I would suggest a slow fade thereby keeping your old contacts and family. You could always turn up to conventions and memorials only like many successful fades do. Like FREDDO (above) says, dont mention apostate sites or anti-JW sites. There's great resources to old WT mags there you can quote from.
As time goes by your husband may wake up to it too but maybe not. You sound sincere and genuine and i wish you a happy future whatever happens.
i'd love to see you're favorite wt illustrations/photo's that they think are fine to print - but are actually kind of creepy/wierd.. .
here's my three fave from my book of bible stories (yes, a book for children!)..
man gets his head nailed into the floor with a tent pin by a good jehovah worshipper:.
Happy smiling faces as the world burns:
Dead bodies strewn around, raining fire and sulfur, people in terror and man in the bottom right corner dead and staring right at you!:
Someone you know daring to think for themselves and make their own choices? Make sure you snitch on your "friend" even though their personal life is non of your business:
if you were part of a judicial committee, and knowing what you know now, what was it like for you to sit on jc’s?
how did you feel if someone was reproved or df’d?
were you ever on a jc and you disagreed with someone being reproved or df’d and were overruled – how did you feel?
I was never an elder, but an ex-elder I've got back in touch with since leaving told me he sat on a JC where they rushed through the whole thing and DF a person because they wanted to be home in time to watch the World Cup final.
one hundred years have passed and the society still supports this lie, which of course, is the basis of their other lies, like that of the unfaithful and not discreet slave appointed in 1919. however, i wonder, what will happen after 50 years, when the overlapped generation will pass?.
and if you want, what will happen with this religion in 2100?, could it survive with the same lie??
?.
My mother, brothers and sisters have all swallowed the overlapping generation crap. Unfortunately, by the time they die it'll be about 2050. By which time their kids will have no idea there even was a 1914 teaching what with them moving to digital books that they can "update" all the time. It'll be a new religion by then. As it is now since 1950. When, on the very rare occasion my family let me speak to them, and I tell my family of the stuff this society used to teach they don't believe it. I'm "mentally diseased" what do I know?

There'll be plenty more, but I really don't want to go trawling through their endless propaganda looking for more. Keep posting though guys, this is hilarious yet seriously messed up stuff. The Paradise Lost book had lines in it such as "people will be struck will a terrible disease, their eyes will rot in their sockets, worms will eat their tongues and their flesh will fall off their bones" - great stuff to tell your kids. It's still in the library in my old KM.

Crying baby about to be drowned by Jehovah because it's mummy wasn't a Jehovah worshipper:
Smiles all round and casual disinterest in a little girl watching the Egyptians drown to death:

Jesus blood running down his hands and arms as he writhes in agony:
Pre-flood man stabs another man to death and runs off with his bag and a bloody knife, while his woman and child cry:
And we were told to not read violent comic books???
ok so this week's wt study article is entitled "why must we keep on the watch?"..
it is filled with statements on the importance of "being watchful" for the beginning of the "great tribulation".
paragraph 2: “keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is.”after that, jesus admonished them repeatedly: “keep on the watch.”.
I remember the following statements from when i was a kid:
"You'll never start high school in this system". - Started high school in 1996.
"You'll never graduate high school in this system" - graduated in 2011.
"You'll never reach 25 in this system" - im now 31.
Needless to say, the JW's my age who left when the getting was good have since went back to college and managed to fashion a career in this "the last days of a rotten and dying system". Good thing we didnt leave later in our lives or we'd be screwed.
i found this little jem this morning .
it's a little dated but describes the self-proclaimed jesus of nazareth by the name of a.j miller.
he was raised in the jw religion and was also an elder and pioneer.
#9 is just wierd!
I know. She makes no secret that she's still sexually active with her husband. I guess he's been having a go on them, keeping the milk "on tap".
