  Need some input: Wife refuses to respect what I believe

  by goingthruthemotions in

  i had a rough time with my wife last week.

  i guess i started the fight by telling her that her love is conditional.

  ( and the fight started).

  You have made a move and told her what you believe, now the hurdle is that she thinks you should both believe the same. Once she reads CoC she will believe the same as you. It really is the book that wakes most people up properly.

  There are lots of different ways you can get her to read it. You can take all the kids somewhere for the weekend and leave her in peace to read it. A poster on here took his kids to the assembly and his wife read the whole book and woke up to TTATT.

  Show her why you believe as you do now, I think you are very close to waking her up especially if she is using bad language.

  im so frustrated i could kill myself right now!!

  im 15 and a couple weeks ago i confessed to my parents that i didn't want to be a jehovahs witness anymore and also that i was bisexual.

  i had just gotten back from an eating disorder clinic and my parents decided to put me back in school (i was homeschooling before).

  Horseygirl,

  You have a lot of issues here and this board is probably not the best place for you right now. Being a JW and being home schooled is not ideal, but you do have to live by your parents rules for now. The cutting is a sign of bigger mental issues, you need to talk to your doctor about the cutiing and not wanting to be a JW. Say you feel isolated being home schooled.

  Being gay is fine, your parents need to accept this, if they don't you can tell your doctor.

  Go to the doctor by yourself and explain all of this to them.

  Please stop cutting yourself and don't do anything silly. You have made the first move by comming here, now go to the doctor.

  Just talked to Witnesses at my door for Hour about Watchtower Child Abuse

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  it happened again like in july when i talked to an elder and his wife about child abuse, but this time i got a hold of rank and file members who fortunately i was able to play like a fiddle as they had no idea what they were up against here.

  so brother middle age ex-hippie convert ( as he told me later ) and sister middle age hair in a bun offered me the awake on death or our view of death.

  i graciously accepted gaining their trust saying yes, i had close loved ones who had died over the years but didn't know if i believed in a resurrection or hereafter.

  Human kindness

  by stillin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hold kindness in high regard; it separates us from the drudgery of life and elevates those who practice it as well as those who receive it.

  my family has been going through a big crisis for several weeks now and i've noticed a few things.

  several of the elders have expressed their concern for us, shared a scripture and then back out to field service or whatever.

  2. beliefs

  the sexual abuse coverups are now getting traction.

  i can leave now without retribution from friends and family.

  i can simply say i will no longer represent an organization that protects pedaphiles as rampant as the catholic church!

  Meeting for not paying assembly fees???!!!!

  by Kool Jo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey folks......has anyone else heard of, or experienced this before?.

  i visited by parents over the weekend and accompanied them to their assembly....same rubbish spoken about since ive been born....obey the gb, donate your last penny, no education and be a pushover.. anyways, our assembly hall has lush vegetation and scenery, so i was more focused on that....i started dozing off after lunch, so got up and went walking, saw some older folks from the congregation i grew up with.. upon the conclusion of the assembly, wed normally leave out right after the prayer ends so as to avoid the traffic.

  however, for this assembly he told me that hes gonna be a few minutes with the elders and branch representatives...so a few minutes turned into an hour..

  JEHOVAH: THE WITNESSES PEST-CONTROL GUY

  by NAVYTOWN in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are approximately six billion human beings in the world who are not, and never will be, jehovah's witnesses.

  per watchtower doctrine, jehovah's 'day of judgement ' is coming soon.

  so what to do about all those non-jws who are 'enemies' of jehovah???

  If you ask them rhetorical questions like that they will just go on the defence and not really think for themselves. You might also get them thinking things like "ahh well here is another bitter apostate". Lots of decent JWs make excuses that Jehovah is a just God and will save all righteous people, they don't agree wholeheartedly with the fact that all will be destroyed who aren't JWs.

  Find What Your Social Status Was in the Congregation

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?

  the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:.

  1. at the top of the social order of things within the congregation is of course, the presiding overseer and his family.

  Without a shadow of a doubt I was always an 8. Even during my study before I got baptised, and I never changed. some of the elders appreciated my free thinking and I had a few honest ones as close friends.

  i stayed home sick from work the other day and noticed a car group pull up to my neighbor's house.

  she's a stay-at-home mom.

  i decided it was time to retrieve something from my truck to see if i could recognize the visiting sisters.

  Thanks for the update. So we see there was nothing to worry about, she just wanted rid of them. It just goes to show that converts are few and far between. Kate xx
