What Scriptures do they use to back up overlapping generation and how are they in context with the entire chapter of the bible they pull it from?

Would you have married your spouse if you weren't both JWs?
by 3rdgen inok, i've had some wine, but i'm curious.
objectively speaking, but for the religion, did you have enough in common with your spouse to have met and married as non believers?

3rdgen I was a single mother totally immersed in the cult,believed in all the true Christian family crap and in my heart I wanted a family life for my daughter that would be beneficial for our worship of god. It also involved the fact that I had sexual experience and that that these needs could be fulfilled by marriage. How deluded I was he the spiritual brother who was really emotionally immature.
In hindsight I probabley expected to much to much from him.
Its a cult!

Macy I wasn't criticizing the LGBT community I actually support the rights of all individuals. I am sorry if it read that way.
Jeff T I wasn't commenting on her political opinions it was more about they way she reacted when the other woman tried to have a discussion about it with her. She was obviously uncomfortable when confronted with another world view then her own.
My question was: Has any one else had experiences that involve those who haven't been in a cult yet are clearly having a moment of cog dis?

No! I married because I thought that was I needed in order to complete the process of being dedicated to Jehovah! He was nothing like me!
Thank god it was a very brief marriage!
Cult indoctrinated Me!

I have just finished watching the latest episode of I am Cait! Lol yes i watch it!!! They were discussing politics. Caitlyn was so forceful with her Republican ideals many of the woman left the room. Later in the episode the women admitted to being frightened by they way she didn't hear their thoughts! It was the perfect example of cognitive dissonance!

It is 5am and I still can't sleep. Contemplating life, doing research on religion, world history, science...
by Stepford Wife inmy husband is still asleep but he will get up in about an hour for work so i'm going to quickly tell you my inconclusive conclusion.
i don't know if i can believe in god anymore.
i have come to the simple conclusion that he is either dead or evil but he is definitely not loving.

Religion is a rort and a racket! The only truth from JW's thanks to drunk Rutherford! Take time for yourself and ponder
Be You go with your instinct remember you have been programmed . you have all the time in the world. Its confusing at first but ultimately you find you!
Its surprising how wonderful it is to discover we are only human and how wonderful the good and bad is and the unconditional love that comes our way.

Elders & Ex Elders, did knowing sins of congregation members change how you treated them?
by Wasanelder Once inwhen you found out all the sins of fellow witnesses did it effect how you treated them?
it was shocking when i found out the range of bs these people did to each other.
i don't mean sexual abuse, i mean fraud, theft, infidelity and more.

We leave it up the jehovah! A way way out. Dealing with this cult and its adherants is like banging your head on a brick wall! I have been a return visit for a young elder for a few months. I kept my mouth shut for two visits and finally I opened my mouth ,they knew mutual friends (that a no longer my friends due to the ugly disfelloshipping policy)
I have been out for close to 20 years.
I guess I was kinda a same story lack of Christian love blah blah! The response was when I mentioned I am looking forward to an eternal dirt nap as opposed to their unrealistic life on earth forever....the elder who I almost thought was credible said I am looking forward to all the things I am going to do in the new system!!!
Haha! Elders are brainwashed just as the stupid Guardian's of the doctrine are!
I give up!

I understand sometimes we are focussed on Jdubs and do not put other religions as a priority on our list. We need to keep in mind any publicity is good ...
The fact that the ARC is currently looking at the Catholic problem is really a gift
As JWfacts said in his post. We can finally confront the witness's on their attitude on the Babylon the great! The great propaganda they have spread is now kinda null and void!
They are the same as all Christian religions!
They are the same as their arch enemy the Catholic Church
They are part of Babylon the great!
I am curious on whether or not the Pope will get rid of Cardinal Pell if so then quedos to him!
Will we see changes within the org?
Or will they continue in the bubble they are in. They are untouchable and we will not change! Thank you ARC thankyou for showing that most religious leaders believe they are superior!
Australia is the underdog.... Let's do it to set a trend a free people from religious oppression. Wordwide! And let's make a so called bible prophecy come true!
I am angry shout it from the rooftop! Network...Movie Network Peter Finch another great Australian!

Lets see if the catholic church can do one better then the Dubs. There are requests for the cardinal to resign or the pope has to act.

The Catholic church Case Study28 is currently a major news item here in Australia
He did offer to meet the victims....more then Geoffrey Jackson did
Any publicity about child abuse is good publicity !
We need to know the ARC is like a dog with a bone! They are not going to let any religion get off the hook!
It ain't over for the Borg!
You can watch Case Study 28 via the ARC website, its scary how much he answers in the same way as one of the Guardians of the Doctrine Geoffrey Jackson
The Jdubs are case study 29!!!!!
