How can i continue my fade vs the rubber band theorem that pulls my wife in

im at a crossroads my friends.

im beginning to feel that my oppurtunities to get my wife out are waning.

weve misssed many meetings she still smokes a cig a day.

DS211

Pronger and jgnat i understand this point of view, as i have a hard time dealing with continuing to live a dual life or "double life" As fhe society refers to apostates. Im not interested in going to the meetings either. This would divide my family and as im seen as dog crap on the irgs boot, i will be portrayed as the evil one. Even if im honest. I know that theyll be sneakily teaching my chikdren how im going to die at armageddon brcause they told my wife that about her father.....and it still scares her and she still keeps her distance. I want to be with my kids, teach them to be free, to enjoy activities and not enslave them to this garbage.

Now as for being open and honest, ive been doing what ive been doing for almost a year now....itd be quite difficukt to fess up and let her know ive been going behind her back this whole time--thatd make me look the scary apostate....yet how can i just sit and lead a double life while slowly letting slip little things here and there while fighting the WT undertow that drags her back down? See my dilemma?

The true religion of God, JW's follow Rutherford not Jesus, proof.

by Crazyguy in

when push come to shove dealing with witnesses or elders one could just say 'i follow christ and not the teaching of rutherford" of course the elders or whom ever your talking to will be shocked and wondering what the hell your talking about because we of course follow christ really?.

jesus; said in john chapter 6, 'one must eat of his flesh in order to have life'.

rutherford; "dont do it, only us anointed sons of god can" .

Billy actually thats not too bad of a way to think lol.

Bohm: i have t read releasing the bonds but i did ask the cig question....and i slipped in "i dont think Jehovah would judge u so harshly after all its basically the same as someone who eats too much fast food, overeats, or drinks too much...yet people are allowed to do all those things except drink too much" she responded "oh yea i know". :-0

Narcisstic- as a man i understand i have a need to be strong and make a chouce and stand by it. Rationally its fantastic. I step iN and stand with conviction, she sees it and is moved or at least respects it. However witnesses arent so rational and i have seen the irrational side come out....it sucks. However if i do push too hard and thats my last resort i would do it.

Good advice guys definitely...ill keep ya updated.

Thanks guys for pulling me back down to reality...this being my only place to vent right now i hope i dont seem redundant in needing reminders to be patient. Thanks!

DS.

and Billy i was merely saying that if i told her i wanted out id be portrayed as the villain and that Satan has got to me...the elders could then pull the "well have u done personal study? Fam worship? But youved missed so many meetings thats why satan has infiltrated your home...thats my guess anyway

Im at a crossroads my friends. Im beginning to feel that my oppurtunities to get my wife out are waning. Weve misssed many meetings she still smokes a cig a day. But shes reminded me how we need to study the bible with our kids and get back to it. I can feel with Christmastime here that shes retracting into her JW shell...with it comes increased depression, irritability and shortness with myself and my children. I am also facing the fact that i dont want to go back....my mind is clearly out, ive misssed 8 meetings and i want out. However i realize this is selfish, but what would happen if i just tell her i dont want to go? My theory is shell begin to associate this with Satan getting ahold of le and leading me away from. jehovah and the Bible....but how can i convince her otherwise? I know i need to be patient but the more we go through this song and dance the more i think we will pull apart....

the situation im in portrays me as the villain because im leading the double life, and if i tell her im now the guy leading her after myself, the apostate.

i know thjs is a scrambled mess, alot going through my head so i need a good sifting and perhaps a kick in the ass lolz

if i did tell her i didnot want to go anymore how might i approach it? I know my options if i choose to go back and do things super slow

Did you think Dinosaurs were destroyed in the Flood?

by LoisLane looking for Superman in

in our jw bible, they placed a friendly dinosaur on the inside front cover on the old time map of the middle east.. you look at that, and see where the placement to where the garden of eden is and that was the image i got in my mind.

dinosaurs lived, but were too big to save in the flood, and besides they had outlived their purpose of fertilizing the earth.

i feel stupid for the thinking i had when i was 'in'.. is that how you 'thought' when you were 'in'?.

DS211

indeed i recall that documentary as well...it also showed that neanderthals had avery interesting language system we now call english. And invented the first car

The " HIGHER EDUCATION" thread!!!

jw
friends

alright.

let's have the ultimate discussion on "higher education.

" let's talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

DS211

Working to live is the core of the JW structure....you work to death in secular and ministry just to scrape some kind of life....then you could sacrifice all that and still not gain salvation in the end if u slip up even a little

Bible Translation Shenanigans

by Perry in

by jack l. green.

the bible clearly and unmistakably teaches that the lord jesus christ is jehovah god.

the cult known as "jehovah witnesses" deny that jesus is jehovah, thus revealing that they are anti-christ.. not only have the "jehovah witnesses" tampered with the context of hundreds of scriptures, but now they have brazenly moved into the bible translation field.. their reason for doing this?

DS211

Perry..when they change it to "God is your throne forever".....to me still implies almost the same thing. Theyve tried to eradicate the former but if God is a type of being, like humans...then God (the position or divinity, whatever) as such belongs to Christ. For instance if humans were customer service employees and Jesus in the flesh was Gods assistant manager....and God was the manager, Christ was elevated to the position of manager (ie God) after his death.

Does that make sense? Hm

either way their attempt to undermine the scriptures meaning because Jesus is still shown to have been elevated to this level and contains the same divine nature as God.
