  Divorce: Are 'Worldly' People More Ethical?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  divorce is not, by nature, something pleasant or 'nice' in general.

  that said, i do wonder if there is a trend in the world that transcends the "truth".. i can hardly read anything biographical these days without encountering someone who has gone thru an amicable divorce - at least, amicable in the outcome, anyway.

  they may 'still be friends' and simply come to see it as another step in their personal evolution.

  I heard an elder once say that, when a couple divorces, it's because at least one of the spouses wasn't following Bible principles. I suppose this is true, but not in the way he meant it.

  Rumors-that circulated about you ( when you left.)

  by Pitchess Co-Gen in

  it seems they can't even let you get disfellowshipped in peace !

  i've been out for three years now, and i heard that i'm a whack job, i'm gay ( i'm married with a son ), that i lied on a judicial committee, and these rumors were started by my ex-fiance and her meddling congregation.

  when i heard about these things i called my p.o or c.o.t.b.e ( mind you i'm disfellowshipped when i called ) .

  They were saying that I thought I was some kind of prophet and that I believed God spoke directly to me. None of which was true, but still it was the fodder for conversation.

  Growing up, my hall had regular sized windows all along the wall on both sides of the auditorium. The library also had a window, and so did the restrooms and the coatroom. Of course, ours was an older hall, so I'm sure the number of windows is "out of date" now.

  "Scriptural divorce"

  by ilikecheese in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i was talking to my boyfriend about the whole jw scriptural divorce idea.

  i made the point initally that i think when jesus was talking about reasons to get divorced, he was more or less just trying to discourage divorce for frivilous reasons.

  you have to admit that there are a lot of people out there who just don't put much effort into it and just give up.

  Actually, Jesus didn't say that adultery was reason for divorce, he said that FORNICATION was grounds for divorce.

  What's the difference?

  You commit adultery by looking at pornography, but that isn't fornication. Adultery is simply the act of lusting for someone else, whereas fornication is when you actually act on that lust with a willing partner. If people were allowed to divorce simply for adultery, no marriage would stand. Of course, adultery is still wrong, but it is actual fornication that breaks the "one flesh" bond, and frees the person from the marriage. This is why Jesus said "fornication" instead of "adultery" as grounds for divorce.
