  I cannot beleive i am an " apostate"

  my hell is just beginning, 26 years of marriage, almost divorced last year until we finally decided to get back and give it another try this year.

  now i'll have to meet with the elders and tell them about my spirituality and doubts about the wts, 1914, 1995 generation change,malawy/mexico,and on and on and my wife will be there.

  i do feel sorry for my wife because she has already lost 13 members of her family, "apostasy" and some just left the truth and even though some are not disfellowshipped she won't talk to them, now her husband, is going thru the same thing, she cannot accept it because out of 31 y. in the truth i was an elder and how could that happen.

  well if I really loved my wife and definetly did not want a divorce like you said I would probably just lie to them and say that you have some doubts but you're sure you can work through them it's just going to take time or whatever. Then just fade away, your wife won't divorce you for being "spiritually weak" but "The Big D" (*trademark Watchtower bible and tract society*) might cause a divorce.

  If it were me that's what I would do just say "Yeah this is the perfect orginization blah blah blah", you can mention that you're having trouble understanding a few things, then mention what they are. Be careful to phrase them as a question, then they'll think it's really something you're struggling with. Then you can just say, "it's going to take some time for me to work through this, so I apologize to my wife for having to deal with this, but it's just the way things are going to have to be for now."

  That's just me, I'm the type that likes to just avoid conflict, hence why I faded away.

  Yup I got in trouble for long hair all the time. Now it's like down to my butt LOL. I think it's pretty stupid, the reasons for the no beards or long hair still goes back to the hippies, all the articles about it were from the early 60's. I think the world has changed a bit.... give a brother a break!

  Shocking Announcement: Society feels Armaggedon coming this year?

  by truthseeker in

  a rumor alert indeed, but it could be related to the distribution of kingdom news no.37, "false religions end is near.".

  the following is posted from e-watchman's forum.. make of it what you will, but in light of all the rhetoric about "deliverance at hand" and "independent thinking", nothing would surprise me anymore.. http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1502&st=0 we posted about an announcement it was only local to our cong.

  however we have found out that there is going to be an announcement sometime in september and it is supposed to be shocking.

  I don't know really, I mean for the end to come I was always of the impression the great tribulation would have to occur first. I don't know what is so hard about the current time, I mean other than the fact it's hard to live with such a minimal wage from untrained workers. But really, for those witnesses who are trained this isn't exactly a hard, pressing time. I would suppose the scripture would be true about the "A loaf of bread for a denarius, a quart of barley for a denarius" because if you go to some specialty shops it is pretty expensive. But still not a days wage, well unless you're in another country or something.

  I suppose if you work hard enough you could make this a trying time, but it's not very hard to be a witness in this country. Though you could make a point possibly to attribute this to America being either Laodicea or Philidelphia right? I think the great tribulation would have to be identified first before the end would come. Just my thoughts though.

  I was more thinking of getting into UFC, it's just about the same thing as Wrestling except you take harder punches. I'm really good with the talking part in wrestling and UFC doesn't have any of those. I just have to get in the shape for it, but I'm half way there, check out my progress at my myspace page www.myspace.com/timkilgore it's on the default pic there.

  My wife doesn't want me doing this at all, she barely tolerates me wrestling anymore since my friend Dan passed away in the ring a while ago (it's a long story, we were there and the last to see him alive, plus had to tell his parents). UFC might be stretching it, but it's something different to do I've been wrestling 7 years now so it's really getting irritating.

  ConfusedJW: Well I'd like to think so since I'm now doing some Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, but he has about 12 years expirience in Gung-Fu, so it would probably be an OK fight.

  Besides who said that wasn't a real fight...

  .

  this is from the falling in truth book i read a while back (looks like it's offline now due to an actual paperback version coming out) but there's mention of an expiriment in which some sort of atom when exposed to light turned into an amino acid.

  i'm looking for the details of this expiriment, you know name of the professor who performed it, the element of the atom, when it was performed, where and so forth.

  Friday District Convention notes: Control, control, control

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, one third of the convention is over, i had no choice but to attend due to my current situation.. the talks were worse than last year, and as usual if you have seen the program you will not find jesus in any of the talk titles - in fact, the only time jesus is mentioned is during a prayer or in connection with the ministry.. when you become aware of how sidelined jesus is, you can't help but notice that jehovah's witnesses are a modern version of the old testament religion - it's all about control, be attentive, obey the "faithful and discreet slave" etc etc, in stark contrast to belief and salvation through jesus.. only the talks with midly interesting material or that had ridiculous phrases used by the speaker are shown here.. friday.

  9:50 be attentive to jehovah's promises of deliverance .

  would you believe that this 20 minute talk was solely about being attentive to the program?

  actually with the Jehovah delivered them deal it seems like the FDS is jealous of christians saying Jesus had given them inner peace etc. What is odd at least to me, the way the talks are pointing and the less emphasis on the paradise earth hope, it seems like there might be some sort of attempt to say the orginization IS the paradise spoken of in the bible in Revelation. I actually made a joke like that once to my mom and she hushed me and quickly changed the subject, but re-reading the notes some of the talks seem to subtly be pointing that way.

  But yeah, for the most part same old same old, I think if I were still in the org I would be going off for LONG lunches and ditching most of the assemblies if I even went. I don't see how these thousands of people get out of work on a friday for these assemblies, seriously maybe it's because I'm just starting my job but I know even my more leanient job I had gave me 15 vacation days, and 10 sick days. 10 sick days is nothing really, and 15 days is basically 2 vacations and 5 shit happens days, I'd be angry having to use one each year for the assembly...but I guess that's why I'm not in the org anymore

  Apparently in Acid you can manually adjust the timing of each song, so I could synch up the vocals to the horrible timing of the Kingdom Orchestra. Now if only I could figure out how to do it LOL. Thanks for the midi link, I checked that out, through a bit of inginuity I got it onto mp3 some how. It seems to be a pretty easy 4/4ths timing so I think I can do something with it. The more I hear the beginning the more I'm hearing "Break Your Neck/Busta Rhymes, or something by Eminem, but that's so played out. I'm hoping to get some either Marilyn Manson or Slayer on there just for the sheer sake of sacrilege
