  Advice on fading needed

  by wallievase in

  these 2 options are before me right now-.

  1. write a letter to the elders and my family, not da myself but basically saying i have too much going on in my life and am confused, so that they will stop bothering my wife and stop asking me questions all the time.

  after i write the letter continue to go to the hall less and less.... 2. appease my wife.

  Yes, the mental illness card is the best. If you can get a diagnosis from a professional even better. My congregation fears the word schizophrenia and the elders leave you alone if you mention depression. You will get a lot of time to yourself to do fun things. The elders will give you articles and send you on your way. Option 1 could lead to a judicial committee because you said youre confused and option 2-Just isn't healthy, because you're going to snap. If you use the depression card you can guilt trip your wife for pressuring you. You just have to make your wife believe you're depressed, for example you could say- I'm done with this life and leave the house for a few hours to go have a bite to eat or go to the cinema. She will think you're depressed and have given up on life. When actually you were referring to your jw life hehe. This is the only way I see you being able to walk freely between both worlds.

  Best wishes

  i have suffered with menopausal symptoms for a few years now.

  hot flushes and facial sweating, the most noticeable to others.. a sister i knew used to laugh and pretty much, mock me.

  i used to say "you wait till you get them" , without being nasty.. i seriously hope she suffers.

  It definitely will teach her humility. Experience is the best teacher. By the way you do not sound like a 12 years old! These feelings are normal and can occur in anyone. The nerve of people on here. Smh

  They continue to drop like flies

  yes, the jws continue to bleed their young ones, so far in my local kh 3 were dfd, one girl just turned 18 this month and packed her bags and said goodbye to the cult and her cultish parents, another young 18 year old man decided to have a non-jw girlfriend and decided to stop attending and is no longer a witness.

  they continue to leave and wt leaders dont give a damn.

  they dont do anything to help kids be successful and live a healthy life.. .

  Statistics-evidence! Gosh can't we just let our friend say what's on his mind. His experience is true for him, and his observations are based on what he knows to be true from his environment (congregations, friends etc). That's what I appreciated about his post.

  2. friends

  let's pretend that a suspicious presiding overseer k. eepclean, alerted by a misbehaving microwave oven to an apostate infliltration of his flock, hides secret recording devices in kingdom hall furniture, and transcribes the conversations... .

  since like most pos, mentally he's more than a few nickels short of a quarter, he needs help to figure out who said what.. so, please study this photo:.

  here are the conversations:.

  A. Can I have a copy of the secret to family happiness? Thanks

  B. Write your number on my magazine, I'll let you know when the stock comes in *wink wink*

  C. You all have been visiting for awhile now, it is time for you to take a stand for Jehovah God. By joining the ministry school, becoming unbaptised publishers, dressing nice. Keep your kid from crying.

  D. I hope I accurately counted all in attendance!!

  E. I'm going to be an elder oneday and you'll be out of here!

  F. Let me hurry out of here, and smoke a cigarette. I hate when the speaker goes over time and the watchtower study has 21 paragraphs.

  G. I'm going to tell all of your secrets....Tell me more

  H. We can't afford to go on the bethel tour!

  I. See this picture kids, this is what's going to happen to your mother if she keeps missing meetings. "Run mum there's a fireball behind you"

  J. Counsel point # 200 kiss me

  K. It's so nice how my elder husband is taking an interest in your daughter. " yes, she needs a father figure.

  Indeed, Satan the devil has free shipping. It came with the bundle, when he became the ruler of this system. :-) I've heard that the fútbol, soccer, game in Brasil is Satan's international convention. The dramas are great at this DC. ;-)

  A missionary once said that he saw a bogus, apostate, version of the Watchtower and Awake magazines. He said it was identical, texture & design, to the official mags. When he looked inside there were "apostate" experience stories, Bible answer articles, etc. LOL. He concluded by saying how crafty Satan the devil has become.

  What would the ideal racial demographic be for the Governing Body?

  by LogCon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the number of white men on the governing body has often come up for discussion.

  the negro member has been called the 'token black.

  ' no reflection on his race, but it just seems odd that with the great number of witnesses around the world, in such a variety of countries, that every member, but one, is white.. in your opinion, [with 8 as the target number].

  Even in Canada, the English use of the term negro is soo old fashion!! :-p The ideal demographic for the Governing Body? Hmm. None. All of them would still share the same- tunnel vision mind. Race, skin color, is just a shell. They'll still be sentienal! Lol The governing body is just a reflection of its membership.

  apparently the society is taking an aggressive stand on youth baptisms and the age recommendations.. from what i have heard from a good source in bethel, a letter is being sent to all boe's that those desiring to be baptized first be potty trained.. rub a dub.

  I've got a Problem - exam tomorrow, and I can't get interested

  by 09:20 tomorrow morning i've got to front up for an exam ( in my study unit, the new testament in its times).

  and, even though two of the questions are known to me (and all the students sitting for the exam) - i'm finding it hard to concentrate.

  the problem is not helped by having a dose of the flu - but i'm just finding it so hard to focus..

  Reading over your notes is a good idea. To be honest if you have attended the lectures and did the readings that led up to the exam date you should be fine. At this point you are just fine tuning things. Get some rest!!
