because of "religious" differences, she now wants me to move out and "separate"...i said what biblical grounds does she have for her request?.
she couldnt respond...she said she'd rather be beaten up by me than have an "apostate" in the house.... this org definitely encourages conditional love.... i don't know what to do...by the way, we dont have children.
.
She has probably talked to her friends about this. And the whole moving out thing is a trap. If your apostate, then your probably doing drugs, watching porn and are into beastality. It wont be too long before you take a new GF if you move out. Therefore, she can have everything, the house, the car, the divorce, and the freedom to remarry because you moved out and got lonely.
This is witnesses way of thinking. If you do one thing "bad", your probably doing all the other bad things too.
i can't help comparing the movie "warm bodies" with the current influx of newbies.
one by one the braindead zombies are waking up and reclaiming their humanity.. not trying to insult you, newbies.
but you, like most of us, know how it feels to go from blind unthinking obedience to honest questions and real thinking.
I watched this movie the other day and I thought the same thing you did. We start to feel again, our hearts are alive.
I thought the boney's were the GB and other heavy's. I am glad someone else saw this connection also.
one thing that i havn't mentioned in any of my posts is that i have a 26 year old son along with the 4 kids that my wife and i have together.
i became a father very young, 15 to be exact.
that's a whole other issue but not on this post.
Maybe your older son will talk to him. He can play devils advocate. If the younger one looks up to his older brother, perhaps he will listen to his brother better than his father
at least that's the rumor.. rub a dub.
Oh great scott, I can see it now!
There is going to be some brouhaha about this is one of the bibles prophecy's and a deffinate sign that The Big A is very very near. It wont be too long before Christendom has completely fallen and Babylon the Great will start going after Jah's chosen people.
Ya know, shit happens. why does every little thing that happens in the world have to confirm their stupid beliefs?
why not come visit a new exhibition and see human art as old as 40,000 years......oooh... wait a minute!
that would make the bible false...woops.. ok..... maybe you can visit and show the academics, historians, chemists, archeologists, scolars where they are going wrong!
give them your own opinion on a science they have dedicated all their life too and take a wild stab at why they are wrong.
yearbook 2013 :letter from the governing body.
dear brothers and sisters :our heavenly father,jehovah, is the personification of love.hence the bible states :"god is love".
(1 john 4:8) even though jehovah is almighty ,his word never says ,"god is power" or , "god is might".he bases his rule primarily on love.how this attracts us to him!.
How satisfying it is to do something because we want to do it instead of being forced to do it ! Jehovah invites us to do what is good out of love.The importance of that is seen in Paul's inspired words:"If I give all my belongings to feed others, and if I hand over my body, that I my boast, but do not have love,I'm not profited at all".1 Cor. 13:3.
give us your money out of love

This letter was in the front of the yearbook. You can find it @ jw.org
for example, the type of job you have, what take place.
in the bedroom, college, blood, marriage mate and etc.. and is it a truly conscious matter with out any repercussion?.

I agree with likeabird,
The idea behind making the once forbidden choices is to avoid legal woes. A religion can't tell you what to do, but it can guilt you into doing what they want. They are covering their asses, but what it boils down to is that people are going to mark and shun those that are in the gray area. Medicinal Cannabis is a "conscience matter". So is; watching a R rated movie, going to a bar, riding in elevators with the opposite sex, missing a meeting, not going out in saturday service, getting a car with 2 doors or a sporty car, working at a place that promotes christianity, taking someone to a non-jw church, associating with a faded family member. I am sure there are loads more stupid guilt trips they lay on people.
so giving your fertilized egg to a surrogate is pornia.
yep. My husband told me that getting artificial insemination would be considered adultery. They have a doctrine on EVERYTHING
i have friends in very cool jobs.
my world interacts quite often with music stars, and i have interesting conversations.
for instance, i was talking with the members of animal kingdom, and asked the lead singer about the lyrics i picked up while listening them perform for the group a few minutes earlier... i felt stupid because i hadn't realized the name of the song, and only had caught a few lyrics... he wrote of mephistopheles.
