  What would make an Ex-Jw go back to been a full in Baptized JW

  by LOLS in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was just wondering , why would my jw husband return to been a full blown baptized jw after 20 years of fading?.

  he has spent 20 years of his life been a worldly person , with a worldly wife & kids & worldly friends .... to joining the borg full time , to getting baptized , to getting new brothers & sisters .... and to writing off most of his worldly friends (some his known his whole life ) , to trying to convince me & our children how wonderful this org is ......and anyone else who will listen :(.

  has anyone ever experienced this ...... oh and he seems to be in it 110% and no-one can say anything about this crazy org or show him proof that it all bs...... his such a clever independent , successful guy , why on earth would he go back to this , after been out for so many years & change into this domineering , opinionated fool ..... oh and his entire family also went back ... father , mother , brother & sister .

  There are people who have this worry that "but what if it's true?!!" - the cult mentality never really left.

  The only thing that would make me go back is a lobotomy.

  Evolution is a Fact #31 - Ten Questions for Creationists

  i thought this would be a good time to pose some questions based on the series so far.. if creationism is true these should be easy.

  answers that don't involve copy-paste would be really interesting to read.. ... .

  1. since some proteins can be assembled in more ways than there are atoms in the universe why do the sequences of amino acids and bases vary between species in exactly the way evolution predicts?

  Where did all the water come from ? Scientists still haven't got a clue just bogus made up theorys.

  I cant help laughing out loud here. Was this a serious question? In order for a "theory" to be published and acknowledged it has to go through very rigorous scrutiny by other scientists who are there to actually look for flaws in the theory, rip it apart and discredit it - if it withstands all that then it's published and accepted as a legitimate theory (or model).

  You know the idea that the earth goes around the sun? That's a theory.

  The water cycle? That's a theory.

  Gravity? That's a theory.
  

  If anything, it's science that's debunking other scientists and previous knowledge.

  Evolution is a fact, just like gravity, astrophysics and the water cycle is a fact - how it happened is where we have the theories.

  If you're up for a laugh, check out this entire website by creationists "debunking" evolution, natural selection and even the fossil and DNA record... it's hilarious.

  Did Ray Franz Help You To Get Out of “The Truth”?

  i sneakily read his books at work.

  it was written in such a way that no one could accuse him of being another bitter old apostate.. once it registered in my brain, especially after reading the second book, i knew i had to get out!.

  He certainly did. In fact, without it I could well have still been in the cult by now.

  i was a thriving regular pioneer, doing all thr things wholeheartedly, had 16 bible studies, 7 attending meetings regularly, 11 magazine routes and 100's of rv's.

  you can imagine i was always runnin out of literature and always a good list of books to order every month.

  (not bragging,just stating facts.all this is wasted anyway).

  Faders Needing a Great One Liner

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so our family fade is well under way.

  we changed congregations as regular attenders and left in good standing with those giving hugs and kisses simply knowing we "needed a change".

  we moved to a neighboring congregation that is out of our original region knowing we would see no one and the two boe's wouldn't really have immediate dealings.

  woah, woah, woah. First of all...
  

  lots of debauched teens and single moms that dress like whores that keep them incredibly busy

  Which cong is this again? I may pay a visit.

  As for the one liner, how about "I heard some apostate teaching about an overlapping generation or something? This contradicts the religion I was baptized into."

  It's not hard to fudge the numbers of preaching hours in the stats. All you have to do is let them start reporting even increments of 15mins - those 15mins all add up you know.

  Then let them count preaching hours PER PERSON even if they're just standing next to a literature stand.

  Oh... wait...

  I sometimes get "well, what can YOU offer that's better than what we hope for?"

  As if im supposed to give them a new belief system... and tell them what to believe.
