A Cautionary Tale For Newbie Ex's.

by Englishman in

jw
friends

one of the best parts of leaving the jw religion is the discovery that the majority of people worldly people are kind and decent folk, who are willing to be helpful if given the opportunity to do so.. but!

exiting dubs who have been born into the faith are definitely going to be somewhat naive in certain situations that can leave them open to abuse by cunning perpetrators.. i well remember my first couple of years out of dubdom.

i wanted to try anything and everything.

he he he, any newby ex-dub couples wanna chat???? LMAO

Actually, I was out for a long time before my wife and I decided that swapping was fun. The one thing that is hard is finding people that are open minded enough about it, especially here on the little island of Guam. Most of our friends know we do, but we really have never swapped with them, nor have we asked, sometimes it gets to be a touchy subject for some people. Although when we have saught to do it with another couple, we didn't dis them if they said no. We always try to make a friendship out of it and never approch the subject again.

Oh man I know what you mean Guest. My wife really gets pissed when my ass talks back especially when were just getting settled under the covers..................................... he he he

On another note, the Jdubs came by to my house about 2 weeks ago, I had a nice long chat with them about the 607bce issue, he said he would come back to show me historical evidence for it, So I'm waiting, I wonder if he would give me a WT CD rom, fat chance eh?? We had a guy stay over the night on the couch, and he awoke to me talking to them. He said he was sure glad he awoke to that convo, he had to laugh at them when they really had no way to counter my points. It was actually very fun, see none of the dubs know who I am here,and I've been out for almost 25 years so they would even have a hard time finding out who I am, with the way the addresses are done here.

What was very stange is they came with three people at the door, one kid in his teens and two men about 35-40ish (I always have a hard time telling th age of Filipenos, they hold their age very well).

I would go for it, I actually get a kick out of em.

Ahhh, I need serious help.

where do i start.

my wife is a "closet alcoholic".

i found out a month ago that she was lying to me since the day we met, almost 7 years ago.

seedy3

Hello Apostateman,

My first wife was also a closet drinker, I put up with it for about 8 years of our 15 year marrage. We went through a car accident, 1 car accident that almost killed my kids. Shae had a blood alchoal level of .20 then twice the legal limit and had not drank for over an hour when she took off in the car, so she was smashed. Needless to say I understand what you may be going through, my wife did all those things too, the lieing, drinking, missng work, ect. She is going to have to get help, but she is going to have to want it. We tried to get her to stop drinking on our own but it never worked, not to sayit will not for you, but it seldom does alone.

AA is a good place to start, before it gets way out of hand. If she refuses to go you may want to try going to Alanon your self for group support, and help, I did for a while, I really didn't care for it, but it did help some.

For me what ended up happening was I told her that I was not going to put up with the lieing and drinking any longer, she now has to make a choice our marrage or the booze. I gave her 2 weeks to decide, she chose the booze. So I left. Tough love is not easy, and can seem quite cold, my current wife is a drug addict (recovering so to speak) she has not used in a few years, but it was a tough time for a while. But the tough love worked with her, she still smokes maryjane, but I have no problem with that, it's the Cocain and things like that are the real problem.

I'm sorry to say there is no easy answer.

If you need any support or just chat, e-mail me, my addy is listed.

Annointed before 1840??? &Before JW`s???

by Beans in

now as we know there are annointed ones,but what about those who didn`t have the chance to become annointed as the bible students were not around until a certain time?

so you can only be of the annointed after the jw`s were conceived?.

as we know jw`s are the only ones who will be saved in the magic kingdom but what about those who didn`t have the chance to be jw`s because they died before the inception of the religion?.

Hmm lets do the math by centurys 144,000 divided by 20 centurys

that comes to 7,200 per 100 years, seems strange that almost 50,000 or more waited until the 20th, and i bet there have been a lot more then that in the 20th century, perhaps all 144,000
it would be interesting to find numbers, but I know early on they didn't keep track.

When you left the JW's, did you remain a Christian

by kenpodragon in

jw
friends

when you left the jw's, did you remain a christian?

the reason i ask, is that when i left the witnesses i explored all kinds of concept and religions and even attended a few churches.

i soon found that i was attracted to new age and pagan believes.

seedy3

When I left the B-org, I became very agnostic, almost athestic, now I am much as kenpodragon is, I consider myself an agnostic pagan, I follow some of the ideals of the eastern beleifs like Budisem and such, but do not base anything I beleive in on any religon. I also do not beleive Jesus was ever even anything more then a good idea that a few fundamental jews came up with.

Depression

by DazedAndConfused in

since leaving the organism i have had a problem with emotional situations.

i have bee labeled "bp", for those that don't know what bp is.....it is bi-polar.

what i am finding is that anyone that shows a behavior that is not in the norm....they are labeled bp.. we are given lithium and a meriad of other me's to correct this "condition".

seedy3

Hi Dazed,

I know I may be the last person you want to hear from right now, but I saw the post and a few peoples wondering about Bipolar disorder. here is a link that is a start to learn about it, it used to have a support group associated with it, for those that are dealing with it, or have family with the condition.

http://www.pendulum.org/

I hope Dazed you are well, if you ever need some support please do not hezitate to contact me. I am quite familiar with the disorder, and have been dealing with it for over 10 years, not in myself but my wife is.

My wifes affair of over 20 years with local elder!

by ukexjw in

jw
friends

i would like to take this opportunity to give a brief account of the events that i have had to under go over the last 5 weeks.

i have been a jehovahs witness for 38 years and all of my close family are currently active jws.

i got married to my wife in march 1999, she was a baptized witness and had been for over 30 years.

seedy3

Hello ukexjw,

I know how it is, my 1st wife had an affair with an elders brother for about a year, now this was unknown to me, but when it came to light I forgave her for the infidelity, and the elders did not. Now this elders brother had actually been inactive for a number of years, and was very well know in the small community, of Blue Earth MN as being quite the playboy, but he got off, he was only priviatly reproved, can you beleive that, He was the playboy in town, and only got privatley reproved. Well I guess it pays to have a relitave on the commity, Oh BTW his brother sat on the Judicial commity for my wife too. LMAO talk about double standards

How anyone can say this is "Gods Channel" here on earth, and look at what is going on around them is beyond me.

Hang in there my friend, it all gets better from here.
