  I am an athiest leaning agnostic, but I think this scripture is appropiate.
  

  English Standard Version
  Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms;- Micah 7:5

  Flipper had some great advice as have many here. I wish I had good advice to add, but it really does have so many variables that will affect the way things will turn out. I have not been posting here as much but my situation persists. I have been improving myself, learning, getting in better shape at the gym, cutting back dramatically on alcohol, eating less etc.

  My wife has been getting on my case about not going in FS, not studying with my kids, and so on. My oldest girl is 5 so things are coming to a head. I have almost made full disclosure 2 or 3 times, but have always toned it down or relented at the last minute to keep the supposed peace, or because I couldnt handle the stress and open hostility I faced. However over the past year, my love for my wife has been mostly squelched. We dont have much in common, have the cult in the middle, and I see her deep down as an enemy trying to indoctrinate my kids gullible minds with harmful trash. I resent that I cannot stop it, and she resents that she feels like she is bringing them up in the "truth" by herself.

  Every meeting I am faced with a delimma of either dont go and be stressed because she is stressed and pissy, or go and be miserable the rest of the day. While I am there I feel my chest get heavier the whole time. It used to be that when the meeting was over, I soon felt better but now it lingers. I know I am not the person I could be due to this influence. Most of the stress comes from seeing my daughter being taught lies, and my not knowing how to combat this when it comes to the "black and white" "good or evil" mind of a young child.

  Before you spill all the beans, know that you are in for a rough ride. If you dont spill the beans, you are in for a rough ride anyways inside your heart and mind suffering silently inside. This situation sucks, but hey! At least we arent awakened Muslims with familes that would honor kill us!

  How do you know Satan didn't inspire the Bible?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jws believe that satan knows things about the natural world (like how it was formed).. they also believe that satan can influence events (even fulfill prophecies).. the bible is the source of great confusion and the vast majority of christians (2.2 billion people) believe it but do not have "accurate knowledgetm".. from the jw point of view, wouldn't it be more likely that satan inspired the bible than an all loving god?.

  I always wondered this. Mormons believe Satan has blinded those who are not of their faith and they are "worldly" Amish believe that Satan has blinded and decieved the "English" The Westboro Baptist Church believes the same. How can JWs tell that they are not being blinded as well?

  Fun at The WT This Morning

  by OneFingerSalute in

  2. beliefs

  so ofs was at the wt this morning, and on par.

  14 the question was, "what trust can a faithful christian whose relative is disfellowshipped have?".

  after awhile when no one else raised their hands ofs did, and was called on.. ofs commented, "one of jw can have the trust that god will lovingly give them the ability to uphold the disfellowshipping arrangement by totally shunning family members.".

  Very nice OFS! Cheers. I would like to comment like that if I even had the will to raise my hand at all. JWs do not like to call a spade a spade. If you shun, then own it, be proud of it and dont be ashamed. It reminds me of how they arent creationists even though they believe in the Genesis account of creation lol.

  Why would Jehovah and Jesus talk to Satan?

  by hardtobeme in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if satan is the greatest apostate there is, why he was allowed to be in heaven?

  job chapters 1 and 2 says that jehovah talked to him.

  wasn't jehovah supposed to shun his son and set an example to all parents?.

  Great point. If Jesus didnt even shun Satan the debbil who would he shun?? Food for thought, for those with 2 brain cells to rub together. Unfortunately that does not apply to 98% of those in the kingdumb hells.

  Songs celebrating leaving the faith? Not being a puppet, mind controlled, living life, etc etc

  by aley63 in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i am looking for some songs that are in ref to celebrating leaving, seeing the light, realizing what you were told wasnt right, being happy w your life, etc etc.

  all those emotions about being controlled and repressed, being told what you can feel or think or how to live, blindly following the "brotherhood ".

  Rush- Faithless

  Faithless"
  
  

  I've got my own moral compass to steer by
  A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky
  And all the preaching voices -
  Empty vessels ring so loud
  As they move among the crowd
  Fools and thieves are well disguised
  In the temple and market place
  
  Like a stone in the river
  Against the floods of spring
  I will quietly resist
  
  Like the willows in the wind
  Or the cliffs along the ocean
  I will quietly resist
  
  I don't have faith in faith
  I don't believe in belief
  You can call me faithless
  I still cling to hope
  And I believe in love
  And that's faith enough for me
  
  I've got my own spirit level for balance
  To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
  And all the shouting voices
  Try to throw me off my course
  Some by sermon, some by force
  Fools and thieves are dangerous
  In the temple and market place
  
  Like a forest bows to winter
  Beneath the deep white silence
  I will quietly resist
  
  Like a flower in the desert
  That only blooms at night
  I will quietly resist
