  My husband MISSED the meeting today! Unheard of!

  by Julia Orwell in

  he decided to take me somewhere nice in the country for a day instead, and when he suggested it last night i was amazed that he would have even thought of missing the meeting!

  he was one of those guys who only missed a meeting, literally, if he had a spinal injury and couldn't move!.

  but, i've been sharing a little of the ttatt with him, teensy tiny bits that i can substantiate from the bible or other reputable sources.

  Hopefully he is starting to think for himself, I hope you had a lovely day together. He needs love story this time, show him you care about what is going on in his head and will be there to help. I hope he gets the job too.

  Question about talking to JW

  by darklight in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised atheist and never believed in any religion.

  i've been studying the watchtower religion with a younger jw couple for some months now.. my main motivation was the fact i knew nothing about christianity, they knocked on my door and offered their "bible" study... so why not learn something, i thought.. .

  and yeah, this is one crazy cult.... .

  Whatever you ask they will always go the WTS route. You might be able to say you've been doing additional research and wonder why for example the name they use for their god was from the interpretation of a Spanish monk in 1270, or something similar.

  Do You Believe In ANYTHING That The Witnesses Taught At This Point In Your Life?

  2. friends

  for example, they pride themselves in what they don't believe such as immortal souls, the trinity, hellfire, etc.. some exjws still believe it is the "truth" and support the basics.. .

  Common sense stuff such as honour your parents, pay your taxes, nothing doctrinal.

  They sometimes come to my office, I've now prepped my staff to ask them ”if a member of your family leaves, will you shun them?" I'm curious to know how that goes. My office is in a different congs territory to where I went, though I'd still be recognised if I was in reception.

  Welcome, a great intro. It is amazing how the busier we were in the north, the more blinded we became, until the suppression no longer had the same effect

  Fascinating story, very sad how you were screwed at every turn. I'm so pleased you've made a new life for yourself. Try not to become bitter about the past. I wish you all the best.

  i have been out of the "truth" for about 13 years, but 9 of those years i was someone who was out but thinking i would probably go back at some point...out but not all the way out mentally.

  my family are still active members and i am a little bit shunned, not invited to family get togethers, that sort of thing.

  i was one of those people that left and then did drugs and partied for a while.

  Welcome here. I love in your intro: " I prayed to Jehovah that if he didn't want me to go there then make something happen to stop it, but he didn't so I went." That bit made me LOL

  Anyway, glad you found us, it is a good feeling to be able to share thoughts with people that understand the 'mentality' of having been associated with the WTBS

  hope everyone is having a lovely day.

  i ended up here after spending the past few months researching jw, without the blinders on.

  i was a born-in, baptized as a teen, pioneered out of high school for a couple years (turning down a 4 year scholarship).
