I WANT REVENGE!!!!!
by worldlygirl inwell, it has finally happened.
my jw husband came home last week and told me he is moving out.
it seems he has been talking to the elders, and they feel his spirituality is being threatened (even though i have not insisted he stop going to meetings, i won't allow any jw material in my home because of my children from a previous marriage - i don't want them exposed to it.

it is scripturally wromng for a man to leave a women no matter what the cause -- there have been watchtowers on this -- the otherway qaround is OK but only in dire circumstances -- this is just disgusting that the elders are pushing him this way -- I will try and dig out the WT references or Body of Elder letters

Women cause intestinal bowel problems in men, and shorten their life.
by Pepper ini have found that women do cause men to die early, even if they don't want to they do.
they must gods way making gods of us men in due time.
i love women but i don't like what they can do to a good man namely drive him crazy.

I agree with spudinator The problem is getting a sizeable enough amount of JWs to split off within a very narrow timeframe. Otherwise, its open season and the WTS can easily pick us off one by one for apostasy. It is not impossible but would be extremely difficult -- it may need a CO or two to be among those splitting off

As a JW did you ever date in secret?
by Victorian sky in.
did you ever date a dub-ya or a nondub in secret while active?
i did, with a ms who said we had to keep our relationship on the down low 'cause he was being considered for the big e and he didn't want the brothers and the c.o to quesiton his personal life, now that's code for 'i don't want the elders to know i'm making out on non-meeting nights!

No -- I was married when I became a JW -- and no I did not commit adultery -- but I know quite a few who dated in secret and a few that committed adultery -- I sat on 3 committees that I remeber

As a YOUNG loyal JW, did you think you would see you're 60th birthday ?
by run dont walk inwith all the talk in the organization about the end being so close, and we have all heard this story over and over again for years, as a young/loyal jw, did you think you would see your 60th birthday.. if we were to walk into the kingdom hall today and poll all the jw's under 30, and ask them "will you see your 60th birthday", what kind of response would you get ???.
armageddon is not coming, the year 2014 will pass, as will 2025, 2075, 2100, and even 3000. .
would love to hear experiences from some of the older ones on this board, who probaly thought the same thing when they were young.

No I did not think I would see my 60th birthday -- now I truly hope I do as I want to be around in October 2014 -- see other threads on this (Gentile Times Reconsidered and COC opened my mind)

What musical groups or songs were bad according to JWs?
by Victorian sky inwhat songs or groups were you forbidden to listen to as a jw?
were any specifically mentioned from the platform or were you counseled not to listen to a certain song?
for me it was the entire def leopard hysteria album - bad heavy metal told it was demonic, i listened to it in secret, silk's "freak me" - a virgin listening to a song about hot sex?

The Hanging Carrot
by freedom96 inalways, since the beginning of the wts, they have always held a carrot in front of everyone, saying the end is right around the corner.
not 100 years away, but always within a few years.
many witnesses need immediate gratification.

The current carrot is not a specific date -- but 9/11, any form of fundamentalism -- therefore ban religion, world conditions, AIDS , other infectious diseases making a comeback therefore we are DEEP in the time of the end so Armageddon is just around the corner -- I stick by what I have said in other threads though -- October 2014 will be a very difficult sell -- but somehow -- you watch -- they will find a way oif blaming the rank and file and there will still be a load of the R&F that will swallow it.
