  Waking up your spouse

  by All for show in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am aware this has to be done quite carefully, but how?

  while many may complain and see the hypocrisy within the kh's, maybe even with the gb, how does one bring up doctrine issues?

  i surely can not tell my husband to "go look what jwfacts.com says".

  What is working for me is to casually remark about things mentioned in the Bible reading that do not sound right or that "sort of" conflict with jw teachings. I have been much more attentive to her since fading simply because I now have the time. My time is not now occupied with 'studying' wt crap that just mindlessly repeats itself. No more fs means time on the weekends to go places and do things together. We ride touring motorcycles together now. I can see that she is not as convinced as she once was and misses many more meetings.

  True love for real life is now beginning to dawn on her also----I hope.

  all throughout my life tuesdays were my meeting nights.

  Why not just RENT buildings that already completed for the new World Wide WTBTS {jw.org.} headquarters. Think of the hundreds of thousands of man hours that are being spent building a new facility for the GB/WTBTS. Those are hours that could be spent preaching the goood news not erecting buildings that will probably be destroyed at the big A. LOL

  Everyone should rent except the WTBTS/GB, they should build. It's like the movie "Field of Dreams"-----'build and they will come'.

  What a bunch of hypocrits!

  Do You Think All JWs Believe Whatever Their Religion Teaches?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that same question applies to catholics, jews, islamists, baptists and so on.

  .

  just because you belong to a religion, does it mean you espouse every idea that they have ever presented?.

  I was an elder for nearly 20 years. Never really believed the blood stuff prohibition, the resurrection theory of who will be raised and who will not, the "spirit anointing" of the partakers, how part of Revelation could be symbolic and some things be literal, the calculation of the 2,520 years from 607bc, how we came up with 607bc, "the day for a year" punishment formula, really most of the bs that didn't go along with common sence, etc....... but I went along because I was also a 'captive of the concept'. Holy crap----50 years of going along.

  Recent reports of 'stoning' to death of Muslims (mostly women) probaly relieves the GB a little for the their stance on shunning which is 'spiritual' stoning. How could yhwh ever ask another human to stone to death their fellow man? Simple--man invented yhwh to do the dirty work for them.

  Ever witness a litteral stoning? Gruesome slow death? Don't that draw you closer to yhwh?

  "Our Publications have said" in (made up QFR)

  by hamsterbait in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the gibbering buddies always say this when back pedalling or reversing a teaching.

  why won' t they admit that they said it.

  they also use " some have said/thought" as if distancing themselves from the crap, it makes them less responsible.. it is like aaron's golden calf it just "came on out " of the fire all by itself!.

  How have you changed since finding TTATT ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on coftys thread about his former pastor trying to re-convert him, which is very long but a tremendous discussion of the problem of evil, a poster, sunny23, wrote :.

  " having been 7 months since i first posted on the first page of this topic i have just read those posts and acknowledged a huge transfromation in myself for the better."..

  i was only thinking the other day how, as i discovered this site and ttatt, i really changed as a person in so many ways, and i think mainly for the better.. i have been "born again" !!.

  I feel so liberated after 62 years in the cult. Although the last 15-16 years have been doubt ridden. No more FOG. No more wasted weekends. No more fear of a god that simply does not answer prayers.
