  need advice

  my spouse felt a need to tell to elders about me reading apostate websites and speaking against wt stuff , so they'll probably try to readjust my apostate thinking any time soon.

  my spuse never see me reading anything but, during our arguments i did't keep my mouth shut and she knows that i had to read it somwhere and it wasn't jw.org.

  could this get my in the trouble if my spose is the only witness and never spoke to another person about this stuff ?

  I second what Splash said. Lay low. Accept counseling. Admit to *some* apostate readings, but not on a regular basis. Above all, never trust your spouse again. Actually, don't trust *anyone* even your closest friends in the congregation. They *will* turn you in. You're not ready yet to take a decisive stand and risk losing your family / marriage.

  However, I would be clear to my spouse that turning me in to the elders for "independent thinking" is a serious blow to the marriage; one that I wouldn't be willing to accept if it ever happens again. Fair warning given.

  What happened to member "Amazing"?

  i have read last night the personal story of forum member "amazing", which he posted in 19 installments about 12 years ago.

  there are so many things about his experience that i can relate with.

  he seems to have vanished from this forum, for his last post as "amazing" was about 3 years ago.

  Blondie, I checked his threads. As I understand, he became a member of the Roman Catholic Church, and stopped posting about three years ago without saying fairwell. His last post was actually pretty casual. So i was left wondering.

  If Chile steps up their game just a little bit (after watching the Chile 3 - Australia 1 game), the broken Spanish armada may well be in deep trouble to get past the groups phase.

  Memorial to cease?

  by Aroq in

  i heard something about the memorial to cease soon.

  not anything to do with jesus returning but rather that the number of folks partaking is increasing and the gb can't explain it since it should be decreasing or staying the same.. has anyone heard of this?

  It's far more likely that they stop publishing the number of partakers, for they can argue that it has become a "stumbling block" for the rank & file, for it was used to try to divinate how close the Big A was.

  Amazing match. I could only watch the second half, but my jaw dropped. Holland obliterated the world champions...wow! Personally I find the way Spain (and Barcelona FC ...) typically plays to be boring to death, albeit terribly effective. It seems that Holland has found the antidote! Well done!
