  when a debate arises between a witness and a non-witness, "neutrality" is often used as the trump card, a final.

  argument that can't be overcome: "we're the only group that is neutral in worldly affairs", they say.. but are jehovah's witnesses really neutral?.

  consider that witnesses will teach the following:.

  the 'dubs' came by today just as the wife and i were on the way out.

  we chatted a few moments and the two guys wanted to know if i had any questions about the bible.

  so i asked them to drop by in a day or two and they left me with two thin magazines and a book they jokingly referred to as "the gold nugget.".

  4. when i got home she says " i wanna go out and party..... hmmmmmm.

  Yes, your wife may be feeling a little giddy at first, I know I did. Just support her. How wonderful she may leave the org.

  lurkers, debaters, haters, lovers, the lost, the found, and the misplaced.

  it's been a while, and i wanted to pop in.

  the point isn't to agree.

  JW morale reaching new low

  by kneehighmiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many friends i've spoken with are becoming discouraged.

  because of this it's becoming tempting to privately share my views with friends, but i know this is still too dangerous.

  most witnesses in my circle are intelligent free thinkers.

  my parents moved there from mainland uk and left their families behind.

  deservingone26,

  It's all in the name: deservingone. Yes, you are, but not for feelings of guilt. You deserve a happy life. All the advice so far has been heart-felt. Please consider what the other posters have written and know we all care for you. Being brought up as a JW confuses and disjoints. Being yourself is impossible until you leave, and then you have to work out who that hidden self is!
