Setback

by EdenOne in

i saw this coming since my mother-in-law's funeral .... the congregation's "love-bombing" over my wife had its impact.

i watched her drawing closer and closer to her friends in the congregation.

then she decided she would attend the memorial.

Eden, this is really saddening. I am so sorry. It's the thing I worry about the most with my kids that they go back. I hope you can still have a happy marriage and go out and do fun things together.

Struggling

by Alive! in

i read here regularly and although i haven't joined in, i really appreciate all the wonderful contributions from those who are willing to share their experiences.... .

i was a convert.

i won't go into the whole history ( perhaps another day) - my story could easily be recognised in the small town where i live, with my husband.. so, we stopped going to the meetings around a period of time when we were going through severe emotional difficulties - at that point, we needed unconditional family love - the hectic, forced jw dinner parties and social occasions gave no real comfort.

KateWild

Hey Alive,

I understand what you're going through and it's difficult. It's rotten to lose all your friends and loved ones. I left in Nov 2013 and still mourn over my loss.

The isolation can be devastating and a nightmare to cope with.

I hope you and your husband can get through this and be happier soon.

I recorded my JC and put it up on the internet with jwstruggles help. Thanks Eric.....but it was not an apostasy trial...it was for "reviling".

Is door to door activity over?

by badcompany in

just curious about others experience.

i've been living just a few miles from a kingdom hall for 9 years.

i've been called on 0 times.

KateWild

Interesting feedback onnthe whole it looks like the D2D work is weakening and the JWs are less zealous.

I have been called on once in a year.....I invited them in and told them I had some questions aboutDfing. I was honest and told them I was Df'd. They were nice to my face and listened to the injustice I faced.

When they left I said I would welcome more visits. They took my number and never called me back.

I was searching for a nice sister who cared about justice. Found empty rituals. If anyone calls again I will still invite them in.

Thanks Eric and Issac. I thought that the elders were genuine and caring, sadly just blind.

They seemed much nicer than my JC....but the end outcome will be the same. The truth is that none of theses guys on your JC or mine are guided by holy spirit.

Hi Everyone. Answer to prayer countdown...

by Stumpy in

friends

i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.

you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!

what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.

KateWild

Thanks for the update Stumpy.....sorry youre both feeling so emotional at the moment. I was very emotional too when the penny dropped. Both me and my adult daughter woke up the same time around two years ago.

Building our lives has been challenging and sometimes lonely.

I hope you manage to leave with your dignity in tact.

Welcome Stumpy....it's nice to see new ones waking up.

How did your answer of your own prayer work out? Did your wife react in a positive way?

Thanks for sharing

The mathematical probability of spontaneous order (no designer/creator)

by Fernando in

there seem to be many prerequisites for life as we know it.. to name a few: order, function, compatibility, availability, sustainability, intelligence, consciousness, intuition and so on.. focusing on only one, namely order.. what are the chances of order arising spontaneously, by chance, with no creator/designer?.

i have often pondered this and recently came across a mathematical summary of the big picture:.

if every particle in the known physical universe (10^80 particles), participated in one trillion interactions (10^12 interactions) per second, for the entire 30 billion years of the universe's existence (10^18 seconds), then we would by now have covered only 10^110 permutations.. if you had only 100 components in a container, what are the chances that a blindfolded person could lay them out in order on a table?.

KateWild

Fernando, you make a good point. The building blocks of chemistry, amino acids and DNA are all very precise and I don't think it's probable for them to have formed without some kind of guidance.
