gonna write my annulment letter

by QueenWitch in

i know it may not mean anything to the boys in brooklyn but it's therapeutic.

thinking of sending in on the anniversary of my dunking, may 30.. i hereby declare my baptism null and void on the primary grounds that i took this action before i reached the legal age of consent.

secondary grounds include lack of full disclosure of the terms involved.

Bwhahahahaha @ Cold Steel!!!

@Slipnslidemaster - You're right, they no longer have power over me and I think that I need to actually send the letter to completely break any remaining ties. The only thing is that I don't want them to have my new address. It's really not important for me to get a copy of my records. I've already rededicated myself because I did feel bad that I was breaking a promise to God but not necessarily the God of the bible. Beside, I really feel that God understood the situation I was in and as you can see, I haven't been struck down or swallowed up in the earth.

@Eve Deceived - They sent a letter to the cong informing them of DF so I want to send one to them saying "nope, you're wrong". I thought about sending a copy to my mother but honestly, I feel like she doesn't even care. Maybe it will get her to think? Should I tell them to fwd a copy to the last cong I associated with?

A question for those that have been around this board for a long time

my wife and i stopped going to meetings in 1988 and da'd in 1989. for a few years we both actively participated in the xjw world, she quit doing that a long time ago, and has pretty much completely moved on.

the other night i told her about my planned blog (which will probably launch this weekend) it will mostly be about my writing, a lot of which is mostly about jw related issues.

she asked why i am still so drawn to this subject.

It's theraputic.

I hereby declare my baptism null and void on the primary grounds that I took this action before I reached the legal age of consent. Secondary grounds include lack of full disclosure of the terms involved. Subsequently, the disfellowship proceedings and any letters asking for reinstatement that I may have written are also null and void.
I demand a copy of any and all correspondence and records that you have relating to my baptism, disfellowshipping, and letters asking for reinstatement. I demand that afterwards, you remove any and all of my personal data from your present records and archives. I am to be considered as a worldly person and should be treated as such.

I just wanted it to be short and sweet. Regardless of what they say, my baptism is already null and void and I will no longer refer to myself as disfellowshipped.

2013 District Convention Program: Gods Word is Truth!

by bats in the belfry in

.

unlike god's word, that jws believe to be absolute truth, any one of their directives given at the 2013 district convention could be subject to misinterpretation.. .

.

QueenWitch

The first talk - how do we know God's Word is Truth. I guess they mean the bible. If God has a Word, it is not the bible. Too many inconsistencies and the origin of how those 66 books made the cut when many others were left out. Therefore the rest of the assembly is FAIL. But like others have said, I'm interested in the apostate talk. They must be really scared. Because of the interwebz, TTATT is freely available.

i have two.. luke 4.

16 he went to nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom.

he stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet isaiah was handed to him.

the fruit of the spirit in Galatians I think

any good advice from Proverbs. But screw the whole capable wife stuff; that's just sexist.

w92 7/15: "It is the obligation of all JWs to hate apostates"

by cedars in

today i was doing some research for a new article, and i came across the following quote which succeeded in raising my eyebrows.... "the obligation to hate lawlessness also applies to all activity by apostates.

our attitude toward apostates should be that of david, who declared: 'do i not hate those who are intensely hating you, o jehovah, and do i not feel a loathing for those revolting against you?

with a complete hatred i do hate them.

QueenWitch

Those of us who believe in God don't hate Jehovah but we may not believe in the Hebrew/Christian God. Those of us who don't believe in God don't hate Jehovah simply because how can you hate something that you don't believe in? I think it's safe to say that we hate the organization.

My wife just told me to move out...

by nolongerconfused in

because of "religious" differences, she now wants me to move out and "separate"...i said what biblical grounds does she have for her request?.

she couldnt respond...she said she'd rather be beaten up by me than have an "apostate" in the house.... this org definitely encourages conditional love.... i don't know what to do...by the way, we dont have children.

QueenWitch

If you still want it to work, don't move out. She said she rather have you beat her? I hope you lovingly expressed your hurt at this realization. Maybe it's time to court her again? Can you plan various outings where you guys can have fun without any mention of religion? Like others said, I know you want her out but the seeds have been planted. Perhaps for now, religion is a subject where you both have to agree to disagree.
