Just asked JW wife to quit

by rathernotsay in

jw
friends

so i wont get into why i asked my jw wife to leave... theres another thread for that lol... but more out of pure curiosity i asked her just now... "in order to save this marriage would you leave the jws?

", it was a snap call no, like not even a second to pause and think about it, which kinda took me back a bit, followed by a angry "why would you ask me that now?

" (shes going out witnessing with my kids and her friends).

carla said-Get all your legal ducks in a row before you make any final decisions. Protect your kids, find an attorney that knows about jw's and the damage they can do to young minds.

Please do this.

If you dont think that in front of your face and behind your back on her end with JWs backing or even alone that your wife is not making sure to have her butt covered in a divorce and gain full control over everything then man that sucks.

Perhaps just agree with her pioneering for now, maybe retract what you told her. It will buy you some time...maybe.

Maybe you'll get to keep your kids.

Maybe your kids will love you as they grow up.

Maybe your kids wont view you as 'mislead by satan'. That is what is being slowly dripped into their minds.

Maybe you have a chance at a relationship with you kids long term.

I say maybe because if you dont start acting on legal counsel and hope the problem will just go away...... it wont, then all will be lost. With a jw, you get no rewards for 'sticking it out'.

Your wife takes her religion DEAD SERIOUS!!!!! OVER YOU!!! OVER THE KIDS!!!!!

Its up to you to take the lives of your kids dead serious. Lay low, but get your ducks in a row. Give no ammunition!! NONE!

Focus on yourself and your children.

Fear of the worldly people.

by StephaneLaliberte in

yesterday, i had a conversation with my neighbor during which i explained the greatest reason why i wanted to raise my kids out of the jws: the fear (which translate to hate) jws have for everyone showing no interest in becoming part of their group.

in order for him to quickly relate to what i meant i asked him to imagine, for a moment, he was the biggest racist he has ever known, forced to live in a black neighborhood.

how would you feel?

This WTBS teaching destroys lifes and mental health.

Also they have many times "marked" individuals in the congregation as people to keep a little distance from. Not shunned, not DFed not DAed , but 'marked'.

How in the bloody hell is a Jw to trust ANYONE? Even themselves if the person they were just talking to at the meeting is 'marked' usually heard or overheard of ,after you spoke with said 'marked' person. Then one starts to feel spiritually dirty. Possibly and often questioning there ability to walk a spiritual path approved by jeho. Then its back to study study study . Dont think, just study. Even within the cong there is major mistrust and fear.

So outside the org must be millions of times worse by jws logic.

A recipe for a psychotic break. The GB rely on this fear. It must be forever present...always.

If the Borg is a Death Star, what is it's weakest spot?

by Darth FayDehr in

.

caves

By Luke's father, Darth Hova. He realized he @ucked up and turned away from the dark side by killing the Emperor (Governing body) and apologized to all Galactic and universal forces, but it was to late. He died anyway, having realized fully what he'd done.

As celebrations ensued around the universe, Luke came to peace with his past.

Luke would go on to travel the galaxy.Telling the tell of how he lost 99% of all his family but gained many friends that became like family...from all over, during the very trying times of the Emperors reign of cognitive dissonance.

'Luke Universitys' are created everywhere and focus mostly on critical thinking ability, logic and reasoning. The end.|LOL|

Technology, Science, information age, internet...... Time!

Spiritual "Protection" - a Menace on Psychological Development

by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho in

not quite a week ago, @lost in the fog created a thread entitled: do you have this illness?.

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5187824140681216/do-you-have-this-illness.

in my year of being on this forum, i have browsed many a disillusioned thread of ex-jehovah’s witnesses expressing similar symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder when detailing their awakening - my own story included.

I haven't read all the comments yet. But by what Ive just read and saw I think this needs to be in every therapists 'toolbox' when dealing with therapy for exjws. Very powerful.

Screwed up sexually

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

i was thinking about how the borg screws up and sexually neuters their flock by telling them when single to "deaden their body" and then boom as soon as there's a ring on the finger to not be denying eachother.. do any of you know of jws who have been screwed up by these teachings?

i know 2, 1 elder came back from honeymoon having a nervous breakdown unable to cope with the cd that sex produced in his head.

and the other called up her parents while on honeymoon, crying and begging for themto come and get her, since she was so shocked that sex hurt.

caves

YES!!! I spent have spent years deconstructing and reconstructing how I view sex and sexuality. Its on the top of the list of things that nearly destroyed me. And wrecked many years of coming to terms with myself.

Beards and Circumcision: turning their argument around

by neat blue dog in

one argument against beards i've heard multiple times, both from individual jws and from the platform is roughly:.

'timothy got circumcised so as not to stumble others!

shouldn't you be thankful you don't have to do that?

caves

Apparently they just looked for people stumbling around. LOL
