my name is ari matthew davies, i am a christian, i was baptised back in 1974 at a jehovahs wittnes convention.. i am now 53 years old.
i no longer go to a kingdom hall or publish written litterature.
simply for the reason that.
You no longer go to the Kingdom Hall for some reason, right? That they do not teach about Jesus Christ, right? WTS faults are errors and many here understand.
The people here help people daily with WT errors.
Please read the rules before you post.
Rule 1 and 5.

If you explore churches many hold NA/AA meetings. Many people think that JWs helped them through drugs and alcoholism and maybe they did. But they do not have safe meetings for members. The bottom line she would have to change or die. She might need to find NA meetings when she gets ready.
Learn as much as you can about people who are married to a drug addiction or alcoholism.
Join a meeting or read books because it is important so you understand.
hello everyone it's nice to finally be able to post i had trouble getting emails last month and was never able to sign up.

please allow me to introduce myself.. i was born into a witness family and was baptized at a young age an was part of a small kingdom hall.
Welcome!
if you believe "when it's your time to go, it's your time to go" then cause of death does not matter.
plane crash, school shooting, accident, war, or anything else.. if you have this mind set, then any event resulting in a human death is just fulfilling a pre-determined destiny for that human.. you also cannot pick and choose as to which event, or rather, death, is in the "when it's your time to go, it's your time to go" scheme of things or not.. nightowl.
.
It is not like anyone has control over death!
well my wife asked me loint blank..."do you wanna be a witness anymore?
" and i told her no.. .
we then went into 1914 and shunning and 1975 and she said sheswondered many times about it.. anyways she said "so what do we do now?
Let her know about this site, total honesty!
She is thinking of her family! I betvshe is a member on an exjw forum. Honesty pays off!
ok. i'm a brit as some of you know.. what i noticed with the wbt$ is how they only seem to write from an american cultural standpoint.
not a bad thing if you're one of my cousins form the usa i admit........ but.... here in the uk there are some things that are meaningless to us.. eg hazing.
this was warned about in a study and over here we had no idea what it was and it kind of alienated the congregation from the study.
LOL, and I thought I had it tough! Writing school papers from the WT!
a story from my days as the accounts servant (not verbatim).
me: hello, [brother] here's your copy of the money slip for this meeting, i just finished the count.. cong.
secretary: thanks... who counter signed that there?.
Most women are the primary financial supprters in the family! He probably has a wife working her ass off while he sits on his!
Do it Jahs way! Good make women judges over the men!
this morning (sunday) i was cooking breakfast, while.
the wife was sleeping (i'm a good husband).
two elders , didn't have time to talk my bacon was burning.. a question for those of you that is still active.
Two elders so sorry! Prior to leaving, did they shake their feet off!
If they didn't shake their feet they will be back. They were so rude to me and I didn't do anything! Just said I could not firlgure out Christianity timeline:Jesus up today! I guess that marked me.
where in the christian greek scriptures do disciples of christ record how many hours a month they preached.. " " " " 10 hours for women and children and slack husbands with no ambition.
" " " " do they record how many back calls / return visits they made in a month.. " " " " have they set down how many bible studys they had in a month.. " " " " do they have pioneers ,special pioneers , aux.pioneers , with goals to reach each month.. " " " " do they have d.o.
, c.o., zone servants , etc.etc.. " " " " where in the christian greek scriptures is the word " organisation" applied to christianity.
JustVisiting, Why would the son of God need to carry scrolls around when he was fullfilling,establishing, OT prophesy.
what does others say about Mr.Elder, that he is too old or what?

I look at what they preached it was telling others that Jesus the Messiah was born, he deeds, resurrection, that he ascended. They acknowlege the Father and the son. Christians was coined by the politcal parties to mark them.
