since my husbands return envolvement 2 years ago my documented mental health problems have gotten steadly worse.
this past weekend i started drinking after 17 years sober, a sucicide attempt that put me in a private psych hosiptal.
You need more help than what this forum can do.
Is this the first time in your martial life that you had a nervous break down? Or threaten to end your life?
Really, what harm did it cause you that your husband has changed his mind and want to attend meetings?
Did your husband beat you up? Hurt you in any way? Emotionally abused you?
Are you a bi polar?
Because your behaving very unstable.
now that russell is no longer important do you think this is designed so they can drop 1914??
?.
Larsinger58 (Even so, 1914 is still a good date for the beginning of the "last generation" since that begins with a world war.)
but Rutherford miss quoted Jesus." world war 1 and report of wars"
Jesus said there would be wars and report of wars and what did he say... do not worry!
World war 1 was not signaficant when there were 10,000 Roman soldiers camped on the four corners of Jerusalem.
Your statement neglects the torture and the deaths of the new Christians who are the martyrs waiting for Christ to avenge their deaths.
Not to mention the Iseraelites who later believed in the death and life of Jesus.
Also, many Gentiles who died preaching about Jesus.
World war 1 was a horrible war but Jesus made no statement that it was more important to recognize the times of the last days.
I hope this site will help you with your mind set.
so here you are...sitting with a couple of elders at judicial meeting, and you're asked the following question:.
"do you still believe that the fds is the channel that jehovah is using"?.
now is it possible to answer 'no' without being df, or how would you answer that question?.
Apparently you do because your sitting in a JC meeting.
No is automatic dfd because you broke your verbal contract.
What would you say?
so my family has obviously been noticing over the past several months that i've been missing meetings and fs.
i've had excuses sometimes, but not others, so my parents are definitely getting that this is more than a long bout of illnesses or fatigue.
i just received an email invitation to join them in service this weekend.
My goodness! It would change your life.
Wew I understand.
This might be hard to hear: Women need to make sure they have a good attorney.
Not that you need one you just need the name of one. Some one who is cut throat and is border line, the fine line when when it comes to the law. And you can not take some ones word for it. Reasearch your law library or just call them.
There is a guy here who wins everything. He leave mates crying. Women who are fit mothers have to pay. We are talking cut throat.
Hope it does not come to that.

Hmm, What is your reason for hiding your feelings from your husband?
Maybe he is feeling the same way?
I would ask my husband what to do about it?
Did you know men are programmed to fix things and make them better?
It will make you closer,unless your heading for separation.
well first i want to thank everyone here for the good points etc... i have received over the last few months.
you guys have really been helpful!.
so the other day my mother wrote me a 3 page letter telling me how she was so scared for me because she could tell my love for the truth was gone etc.. so i decided i wanted to totally rip the band-aid off and get this matter over and done with.
Did you ever think that your dad was an apostate?
At this point I would like to suggest something.
Buy your mother Christian fiction. Most are about family struggles and the love of God. It will bring her to tears and open her eyes some.
Just trying to replace her WTBTS books with something else.
Thank you for sharing.
so i learned something by actually reading my bible and looking up the cross-references.. 6-9-2013 wt study stated.

NWT
Corinthians 15
22 For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each one in his own rank: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence. 24
New Living Testament
23 But there is an order to this resurrection: Christ was raised as the first of the harvest; then all who belong to Christ will be raised when he comes back.
1599 Geneva Bible
23 [ t ] But every man in his ( I ) own order: the firstfruits is Christ, afterward, they that are of Christ, at his coming shall rise again .
Just thought I would throw in the above scripture about the resurrection and Jesus presence or coming. What do you think?

NWT cross reference sure does suck. It never held up!
Phizzy good point! because the WTBTS teach that most of the 144,000 are in heaven! Like anyone can prove that one. LOL
Oh but you just did!
That is a good one.
so i've been thinking about my jw family members a lot lately, especially since i just saw them a couple of weeks ago at my youngest sisters wedding.
with all the current animosity towards apostates that seems to be more aggressive than usual it hit me when i saw this posted on fb today.
would it be possible for the gb to demand that jw's kill apostates?
Wow Rebel you really found a WT.
Can you imagine young baptized JW reading this article for the first time in 1952.
They just lived through world war 2, survived the great depression, believed in a better hope for mankind, paradise life for the future children, and practice no more wars!
Became baptized, settled down, and had children then a Wt like this one comes out! POW!
It had to put the fear in them because they were already baptized. What are you going to do walk away! Most of those people lived through fear then to be threaten by their own religion. That really had some influence on our older parents. I bet young JW believed it could happen because they saw all the hate groups. Also, people want to be on the winning side,JW org, thinking they would die apostate. Many JW and a few apostate.
No wonder so many older people are full of offear and drama when their children leave. Apostate means some day they could be killed if they walk away. Many probablybdo not know where their fears come from. Thank God for laws of the land because the WTBTS seems to have an on going hate campaign. Who would guess it.
And to think I was just going to write that it is a crazy thought because JW would not hurt anyone nor do they teach revenge.
