Is there a renewed iemphasis on the "go bag" in the past mont or so?

by nonjwspouse in

my soon to be ex moved out over a year ago.

he left most of his things here ( i guess he thinks of my house as his personal storage unit).

one thing he left was his survival backpack, i assume his "go bag".

Since Myself and our sons left the JW cult, My wife has been M.I.A has a mom and wife

Sorry for your situation at present , from your previous post this behaviour has been going on for years.

This is clearly unreasonable behaviour on the part of your wife towards yourself and your boys,yes hiding away from yourself in the bedroom could be a symptom of depression but it could also be silent treatment in order to punish yourself and your boys and is a form of domestic abuse (I'm a survivor of domestic abuse at the hand of my JW wife and she would do that to punish and control me ) please consider speaking to a marriage counselor or a domestic abuse agency for their advice and support .

For you and your boys and your mental and physical health please seek help and advice from trained professionals for the best help and advice.

Take care and my thoughts are with yourself and your boys.

Pioneers, Elder's Wives most self righteous. Etc.

by Overrated in

jw
friends

as a jw did you have a pioneer sister/elder's wife who was the biggest busybody, self righteous, arrogant pus in the circuit?

who would look down on others and treat people like crap.. without giving to much away, i experienced one that knew everyone in circuit.

and if she or her husband saw or heard something they didn't like it was " you know what the bible says" regardless if it was in there or not.

Fadeaway1962

My wee sister , been to ske , construction projects ,we all call her elder (her name) she sends us all JW stuff to encourage us even though my bro who is a elder ,and her elder husband whom she pushed encouraged to reach out just let's her .

Are faders like me just cowards? Should I show my face?

by Witness 007 in

i feel bad i just faded away and did not "come out" as an apostate hater.

my mum died refusing blood and still i hang back my wife still has witness friends and goes to the memorial every year..

Fadeaway1962

A Great crowd of faders out there ,why because WE care for our family's and want even limited association with them even though they would immediately shun us if we openly admit our views of the org and it's teaching's .

So we're not cowards we are caring people.

Anyone notice how when some of us older ones were in the cult.......

by mickbobcat in

when i was a kid in the late sixties the type of books we would study was very intense compared to the bull shit pablum that they put out today?

i mean the finished mystery and others now its these stupid books that don't dive deep into the beliefs.

.

Fadeaway1962

W/tower study's about types and anti types.

Abrahamic ,davidic , messianic and the kingdom covenant's , not sure if there was another one or they overlap.

If god exists why the Galaxy Andromeda is flying towards us ?

by Jewtwo in

jw
friends

galaxy andromeda flying towards the milcky way is a fact so why god did that ?

i don't see the point, the galaxies will enter in collision in a very long time but i don't understand why a lovely god would do this it feels stupid.

(or there is no god).

Fadeaway1962

A god of order , supreme lawgiver, master architect and yet he didn't allow for the movement of these galaxy s and that they would eventually merge onto one another and that in about a billion years our sun will start to die and overheat so that life on earth will cease to exist.

Also as a all powerful god of order why did he allow his creation earth and other planets be bombarded by meteor's for billions of years if we look at the moon we can see the impact they had on the surface and the earth also has had many impacts as well.

Stats of bible studies vs baptisms

by joey jojo in

david splane once again 'davesplaning' facts and figures.

10 million bible studies and 200 000 baptisms.

how many of these would be jw kids with no choice?

Fadeaway1962

A brother had a study with a work colleague he progressed to baptism then after about 18 months stopped attending ,I asked the bro how so &so we don't talk anymore.

Another one a witness married someone not in the lord they had a Bible study got baptized started a family then the original witness had a affair and is disfellowshiped and the person still attends .

Apart from three reactivated ones and one of them is now disfellowshiped and no longer attends that's it in more than 10 years

And about a dozen born in left.
