  current update- the wife and i are separated.

  i dont go to the meetings or in service but im not df, or da.

  she is not budging.. problem- my wife has made it clear that she doesnt want me back unless i do all the witness stuff, i have even offered to attend meetings but not participate in commenting or go in service and this is not good enough.

  You said it yourself "she wants a person....". She doesn't want you. Your life seems to be on hold, live it now and don't waste any more time. Start meeting new people and building new relationships, one that are not conditional.

  Mana11, I am truly sorry that you are being shunned the way you are. You're not alone, my family too is shunning me as are many others here. You've followed your conscience and attempted to reach out with truthful words, it's such a shame our families don't see it.

  Continue to live life to the full, enjoy precious moments when you can.

  Encounter with JWs on Literature Cart , strange happening -maybe ?

  by jhine in

  yesterday i had a conversation with a man and lady who were with a literature cart in our local town centre .

  among other things discussed was the accuracy of the nwt , which i said wasn't very accurate.. the man , of course , led the discussion from the jw perspective and looked up on his phone some quotes from "experts " endorsing the translation .

  he asked the lady to make note of the names , at my request, so that i could check these quotes later .

  I spent about 20 minutes looking online and found several news items to do with child abuse within Jehovah’s Witnesses. I have placed the links below. They are not from ‘apostate’ sources and it took me only 20 minutes online to find them, they give a snapshot of recent events.

  —————————–

  If you choose not to read them then I would like to make a few points you should be aware of:

  • Jehovah’s Witnesses still do not have proper child safeguard policies in place
  • They do not cooperate with the police when asked about someone’s confession to child abuse
  • They will not warn parents when a paedophile is in their congregation
  • They allow paedophiles to go door to door meeting families with children
  • They do not check registers such as Disclosure Scotland for any member

  I could go on as there are many other issues where they side with paedophiles and abuse the victims further.

  Any parent that has any feelings of wanting to protect their family would want to make sure that their children are no where near these people. If JWs are wrong in this respect I would like you to ask yourself in what other ways are they wrong? I know the answer to that question and it scares me that my children would be exposed to it.

  I implore you to think carefully about safeguarding your children, what justification can there be to allowing your young impressionable ones to associate with these people?

  VISIBILITY

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  breakfast of champions mentioned this on the elder appointment thread and it struck a chord with me.. is this term big in bethel?

  obviously nothing in my bible says a thing about being 'seen' in serve-us or in other jw activities, but a long time bethelite went off on a visibility tirade that i remember distinctly during special servants/elders meeting when i was in.

  i remember at the time thinking that the big j-dog in the heavens sees everything, so why the big fuss over the rank and file seeing us do stuff for the big j-dog?.

  Countless times I remember COs in pioneer meetings telling the pioneers to be out at weekends also to be visible, as if it wasn't enough that you gave all your time through the week.

  How to disassociate? HELP

  by Mandrake in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm looking for a way to disassociate myself, now i'm thinking to make a "public declaration" before a civil law notary (i'm in chile), but i need some ideas about what to put in that declaration, i would like to look the "ks" book to cover all possible sides and make a solid declaration... any experiences?

  my plan is to make that legal declaration that would say "i'm no longer consider myself a jehovah's witness nor want to be linked to any of the wt organizations or legal entities, and want all my personal records to be erased"... any orientation will be helpful :).
