  Nonbelieving mates

  by road to nowhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a couple of my wife's friends are married to non witnesses.

  they say jehovah must have special plans for them.

  and that it is a special exception not destruction, alas, they are not attractive so my special idea about polygamy won't cut it.

  2. friends

  the link bellow is sort of ok. i could not find a decent article in english language about this, but russian media is exploding.

  2 days ago a teenager killed 19 people and injured dozens and committed suicide.

  he was raised in a jw family.

  Growing Up Strange (even for a JW)

  by GizmoSnicket in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been meaning to join an online ex-jw community for quite some time, and finally have made the effort to do so.

  i was raised in a small/mid size city in the northeast united states.

  i am currently 27 years old, just about five years fully out of the organization (after about two years of "fading" away).

  Just asked JW wife to quit

  by rathernotsay in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i wont get into why i asked my jw wife to leave... theres another thread for that lol... but more out of pure curiosity i asked her just now... "in order to save this marriage would you leave the jws?

  ", it was a snap call no, like not even a second to pause and think about it, which kinda took me back a bit, followed by a angry "why would you ask me that now?

  " (shes going out witnessing with my kids and her friends).

  It saddens me to know that marriages break up because of religion and the blame, whose fault it is ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a jehovah`s witness couple who have been married for many years and some with children of various ages and have been serving in their congregation meeting attendance, fs and bible studies with their children for many years .. and then one of them begins to have doubts about what they are being taught and what they actually are supposed to believe now that some changes have been made with nu-lite.. the doubts grow and then the the use of the internet to investigate further some of the claims of the gb/wt religion .. with the wealth of information available on the www it now becomes impossible to continue to be an active member of the jehovah`s witness religion without being an utter hypocrite .

  you no longer believe them anymore that they alone are gods chosen people in this day.. however your spouse does not see things the way you do not at all and after many months of arguments bickering threats the ultimatum is something like if you don`t believe what i believe that you have left jehovah we can`t live together anymore ,i want a divorce unless you come to your senses.. who is the one here breaking up the marriage ?.

  isn`t it in the majority of cases the jw who ends the marriage ?

  Why isn't Lazarus my next-door neighbor?

  by return of parakeet in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  after looking through doug mason's "ransom" thread, i noticed a little discrepancy between dub doctrine and the bible; i.e.

  lazarus.. if the wages of sin is death, lazarus paid the wages in full by dying, and when resurrected by jesus, he should then have been a "perfect" man.

  after all, he paid his wages for his imperfection -- he died.

  Who did new testament writers think Jesus was ?

  by Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been reading this book called " the two powers in heaven " .. the readers digest version is basically there was a first century belief of kind of a dual god system in the old testament.

  god is invisible and yet he appears at the " word of the lord " or " the angel of the lord ".

  basically any time god was visible and dealing with humans in a touchable , see able manner , it was though to be christ.

  When is the last time you saw an educated middle class family become Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we know from casual observation that if anybody does respond to their preaching/recruiting work it is usually someone that is a social misfit in some way or a person that was indoctrinated early in life.. think about all the nicer neighborhoods witnesses preach in.

  if a family of four with a father that is an engineer and a mother who is a medical professional ever walked into a kingdom hall for the first time and said they were studying, people would faint.

  lol.... this of course isn't what you would expect from a religion backed by the ultimate intelligent creator.
