  Welcome spacegirl443. So sorry to hear of your plight. (I'm a faded J.W. by the way)

  Without getting into all the scriptural rights & wrongs of Christmas, you and your husband need to have a very straightforward conversation about both of your equal rights in the marital home when it comes to beliefs/religion. Explain to him that you are willing to remove from the home everything connected with your form of Christianity, except your Bible, insisting that he does the same - no J.W. literature whatsoever allowed in the home, then wait for his "loving" response. This should tell you all you need to know about having children with a JW.

  Husbandly subjection is a big deal in La-La J.W.-land, so be prepared to defend your individual rights.

  I hope you can find a mutually agreeable solution.

  p.s. @ Morpheus; w60 12/1 p. 735 Questions From Readers

  Granting her freedom of worship may even mean letting her have a Christmas tree in one room of the house during that season, although the believing husband would not let other rooms of the house or its outside be decorated.

  for the first time scientists have successfully reversed a naturally occurring magnetic field.

  it could have multiple implications:.

  Expect to hear that r & f JW's begin to experience a serious public backlash for the perversions of their leadership.

  All Body of Elders in the UK – A Warning!

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  shortly after rising this morning (monday 20th november 2017), i checked the news on the bbc’s teletext service.

  in the uk (page 1010) the following had top billing…... “jehovah’s witnesses ‘covered up’ abuse”.

  “children who were sexually abused by jehovah’s witnesses were allegedly told by the organization not to report it.. victims from across the uk told the bbc they were routinely abused and that the religion’s own rules protected perpetrators.. one child abuse lawyer believes there could be thousands of victims across the country who have not come forward.. the organization said it did not ‘shield’ abusers and any suggestion of a cover-up was ‘absolutely false’.”.

  Maybe worth pointing out to the trolley-brigade sentinels that their cult's dogma gives Charles Manson a get-out-of jail-free card, just because he died.

  "What Does the Bible Really Teach?" p.214, par. 3; "..the judgment will not focus on what people did before they died. How do we know that? The Bible says: "He who has died has been acquitted from his sin." (Romans 6:7) Those resurrected thus come to life with a clean slate, so to speak."

  Inside the JW HQ Warwick, NY

  by baldeagle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here is a short 2-minute video from fox 5 news reviewing the new jw hq in warwick, ny.. the first thing the jw spokesperson says is, “our primary purpose is not to convert, but to give people an opportunity to see what the bible has to say.”.

  next the reporter says, “the new world headquarters, which opened last year, is home to about 800 jehovah's witnesses.”.

  it seems to me that 800 is an extremely low number since the glory days in brooklyn.

  WTBTS and the CCJW ?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  apparently they made this new corporation called the christian congregation of jehovah’s witnesses in the year 2001. this is the religious side of the cult and wtbts is the printing side and probably the money side.

  since the gb think they are of the ccjw and have even stated their non affiliation with the wt is their a way that jws can use this to their advantage, maybe during a jc etc.?

  i for example was baptized before 2000 so with the new corporation formed and the gb going to that side what could be argued during a jc?

  How many faithful old JW`s are now living in Christendoms retirement homes not being cared for by the religion they gave their life for.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it must be pointed out in favour of christendoms religions that they do not discriminate against people regarding their religious beliefs.

  many old age jehovah`s witnesses are residents of christendoms age care homes.. isn`t this a conunudrum ?

  they, jw`s condemn christendom as part of the world empire of false religion and they cast off their old faithful members to their enemy christendom , to look after them without lifting a finger themselves.. in the meantime they are raking in millions of dollars $$$$ in selling off real estate properties in new york and elsewhere around the world.

  When I asked an elder in my old congregation who 'phoned me, "How's old Brother Abandoned getting on in the (worldly) nursing home?," he replied, "I don't know, but Brother Joe Publisher visits him every week."

  Brother Joe Publisher visited all the elderly ones. Saved the elders from doing it! Nuff said about "shepherds."
