  Never ceases to amaze me the way brainwashed people work, and how they use their Jehovah nonsense to their advantage.

  Thanks for sharing.

  by JeffT in

  2. friends

  i converted at age 22, and left 15 years later (1988) so i don't really know what its like to be in high school as a jw.

  for those of you who do know: do teenage jw's hang out with each other?

  worldly kids?

  I don't think that some JW things have changed. In school, today kids have to worry about not getting shot, so I imagine that their JW background is a secondary issue now.

  many common phrases i've used all my life have been made obsolete by technology advancements.

  "roll up the window" (car windows don't roll up any longer with a hand crank.).

  "hold your horses.

  Think about this! All the signs of the last days from Matt.24. That jw's point to,  happened in the 1st half of the last century!

  and now it's 2018 and we are still here.

  that's like saying back in 1930 the events of the civil war show we are in the last days!

  it has now been that long!.

  Those "signs" are not signs. All of those elements have always being present since humanity as we know it started. Besides, predicting that things are going to be bad for some people is like predicting that 1 plus 1 is going to equal 2.

  my husband was df 3 years ago.

  i still attended meetings but not regularly and for the past 10 months i have not attended any at all.

  my husband wanted to get reinstated until maybe a few months ago when i started to help him to wake up.

  You leave a lot of details out, and I prefer to suggest instead of giving advice. First, sorry that you seem to be going through turmoil, even when your husband has been away from that organization.

  Seems to me that for some reason, the mental well being of both of you seems to be attached to the JWs. If he's depressed, is there any reason why he can't seek professional help from people who actually can provide good, sound advice?

  And what about you? You seem to be a great, loving partner to your husband, but your own mental well being matters too. Do you have friends outside the JWs?

  Also, the most important thing is that you have each other. Many ex-JWs like me left the JWs without a clue on how to be social. That was something I had to learn. Going back to the congregation doesn't seem like something that will give him any social skills.

  Between the two of you can provide great support. Go out on a date, have fun together. Forget about the WT and enjoy each other's company. The JWs are still going to be there anyway, ready to judge and happy to shun you.
