  they just left.

  we had a nice "encouraging" chat about my inactivity.

  they went through the usual guilt routine, that didnt seem to work so they turned to fear.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i could just be reading too far into this but... even with plenty of opportunities and time to go, she didn't seem to make it out last month.

  last night she said she was gonna go out today (the 1st) but... she's downstairs at the moment sipping coffee watching tv.

  a few weeks ago on the long drive back from the assembly we talked about fs.

  Update on Mrs Obvious and myself

  by Captain Obvious in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well it's been about 8 months since my final wake up.

  as some may remember for my intro thread, i panicked and was way too aggressive at first with telling my wife all about this scam we're a part of.

  she freaked, thinking satan had me for sure.

  Books or exercises to learn critical thinking

  by Captain Obvious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was sitting at the meeting this morning (yes, still keeping up appearances), listening to the speaker and trying to understand his lack of logic.

  his talk was about education.

  he seemed all over the place, not really making proper points.

  Jehovah's Witnesses - Faith In Action Part 2 - thoughts?

  by Captain Obvious in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  most of us remember the thread last month about the video that was supposed to be watched in prep for discussion at the meeting.

  well at the end of this month, there is a discussion on part 2. .

  part 1 had at least that one big glaring lie, about what the bible students were expecting in 1914. it then went on in the usual fashion, blaming the students themselves for having made up their own expectations.... .

  No can I get out of going in service?

  by Captain Obvious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as some of you who read my previous thread know, my matrix moment has passed, and i am on my way out.

  i am trying very hard to fade slowly in hopes that my wife will wake up, and maybe my family too.

  the problem is, my conscience still works well, and i don't want to go out in if service and tell people things that i know aren't true.

  A new member of the thinking class

  by Captain Obvious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my first post on this forum, though it feels like i already know some of you here.

  i have been lurking for a couple of months now, and i must say, there honestly seems to be more love and respect here than any forum i have ever seen on any forum of any kind.

  i am 25 years old, married 3 years to my wonderful wife who is 22. we had a somewhat classic jw upbringing... which i now know has been our biggest problem.
