Changed Will Watchtower You Get Nothing!

As I mentioned last week I'm a covert fade. It dawned on me that I had the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society in my Will. I just changed it. The Watchtower will now receive nothing upon my death. Zero buptkis.

MEMO: to the Bethel Police that monitor sites such as this. It's only a matter of time before all the wells I mean Wills dry up!

My wife and I have had arguments of late as to how to proceed. It's like my family even internally has been weaponized against me.

I just want to leave peaceably, honestly that's all I want. Yet I can't because my wife is scared senseless of losing family. I don't blame her. It has become the principle of it to me though. I don't believe they have a right to force me to play by their terms. It's wrong. There is zero chance Christ would act in this manner or have such a structure that would weaponize family. It's not enough to simply take the bible at its word and limit social activity. Leave it up to the person and the congregation that knows the person. No instead you weaponize family causing pain and guilt. That just can't be right.

What right does a religion have to hold your family hostage. Is that the type of devotion God wants? Devotion under fire?

As I mentioned prior I'm a skilled person in the technology world. I can't say what I do as it would identify me unfortunately. It is taking all I have to not use 35 years of knowledge to mischievous use.

No I won't stoop to that level but I am beyond angry right now. They brooding in me angst that will be difficult to squelch. It's completely unnecessary to treat people in this manner.

How do you tell your spouse you no longer believe in God?

by Darkknight757 in

so i was hoping to get some insight on this subject of telling your spouse that you no longer believe in god.

for two people who have been jehovahs witnesses for 20 years together, talking about this seems to be real hard for me.

i still pray with my wife before meals but that's about it.

@Anders makes a couple good points. One saving the marriage is of utmost importance. Two and I can't explain why this happens but it does, the wife often doesn't spend the time the fellas do in their due diligence. I wish I had the answer for that, but I don't.

In general I find you must have some solid ground to stand on for whatever it is you might believe.

I can't stress the NOT judging enough. For us it has been insurmountable to discuss both sides of the coin together. Rather than say "look at this" or "can't you see that". Those types of phrases will only beget negative reactions resulting in an immediate wall being put up.

All the best bud.

I think it's important to be out of the judging business.

What I mean is if you're honest there's no way to prove either perspective beyond any doubt. At least not in my mind. Oh you can make a case for a supreme being and you can make a case for not having one. But neither are absolute.

My wife has been feeling the same as you actually. For me I can't get past evolving from a single cell. Seems too much of a stretch. Again though after what we've experienced and the hypocrisy in general in religion can you blame a person for not believing in God? I can't. Add to the fact that if you believe the bible God killed a lot of folks. If a person today did what God supposedly did in the bible we'd call them a mass murder. There would be no justification.

In my mind then it is important to not be in the judging business. If there is a God do you think he would be offended for you being confused? He wouldn't if he is in fact loving for the multitude of religions and beliefs at a minimum have been horribly muddied.

Perhaps then, instead of focusing on your perspective you discuss both. How both have holes and that you shouldn't judge one another. For my wife and I that is where we are at. We accept that neither perspective can be proven without a doubt. As such we simply discuss the possibilities of both sides accepting the opposite perspective as a distinct possibility.

Best wishes...

@AndersAndersen

I agree wholeheartedly and aim to do my part. It will take time as I can't expose my identity initially. But that is exactly what I want to accomplish.

Matter of fact here's the deal, why its so dangerous, here's how you can leave, improve your life and be happy.

No attacking or hate. Helping someone to learn what really is the "truth" about the truth organically is about as powerful as it gets in my opinion.

I will do what I can. I take it very seriously and only want to assist others. There's simply no other motivation.

Nicely done with the "BS" I love it.

@OneGenTwoGroups

Yeah I'd actually like to do a webcast I already have a studio to do it. I've done them before for things. I can't get into what exactly as it would be a dead give away. but PM if you want to talk more about that.

@ToesUp

Very well said. Yep we are pretty honest and direct. They have been told to reach out at school. To get involved in other things. Being able to play sports was pretty much music to their ears. I don't want to give too much away as to identity (my apologies) but growing up I was very good at a sport. Scholarships and the whole nine yards. I wasn't supported. It was likely I could have turned pro. I had been told that for years. I was forced to abandon it and regretted it ever since. It had nothing to do with the money or fame. I loved that darn game and still do.
