How could i have ever let myself get involved with this cult? pains me when i think about it.

by goingthruthemotions in

when i think about where i am at now in my life, in my marriage, with my kids.

why did i get involved with this cult?

i have brought out the cult personality in my wife and there no turning her back.

GTTM,

Sounds like you're not having a good day today. Some people can leave and live in a divided household. They can just enjoy their family and doing daily things.

I am divorced, and the divorce and custody battle is something I would not wish on anyone unless you're lives are at risk and children need to be protected form domestic violence or sexual abuse. Try and plan days out on Saturdays with your family and spend quality time doing activities with them to bring you all closer.

Umbertoecho here.

by umbertoecho in

hello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.

helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.

i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.

Hey Umby,

It sounds like you're going through another ordeal to see justice is done. Thank you for the update. You are inspiring. Well done.

Your Opinion Pleeease

by thankyou in

jw girl non-jw guy.

tenuous boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

what is more likely to strengthen a relationship?.

KateWild

You obviously like this girl. You have to establish how important being a JW is to her. If she wants to leave you might have a very nice future.

The really cool feeling of community within JWs

by Phaedra in

i remember going out with other jws after the memorial.. small gatherings.. picnics at some local landmark.. the feeling of closeness, camaraderie, friendship with like minded people you could trust.. haven't experienced it since i left.. really miss that..

KateWild

Yes I agree, I miss the socialising. I have had a few social events this year, but I was used to socialising every weekend and my kids having a big social life too. It's all gone now, in general people don't socialise as much as JWs do.

I suppose that was the love bombing, so it was just a recruiting strategy.

Little "oops" in today's WT Study article.

by stillin in

jw
friends

paragraph 12 recommends that we meditate on the weekly reading for the theocratic ministry school.

ok, i'm splitting hairs here.

but there will be no more tms in a week.. somebody isn't keeping up with jehovah's celestial chariot..

KateWild

Hahhaha great catch. Just proves there is no holy spirit guiding the writing depth.

Lol 😂

Can my friend be DFd for dating a non witness and wanting to get married to him

by cognitivedizzy in

jw
friends

dear all, need some advice .

in my country one can get dfd for pretty much anything the bullies want to df you for.

but is there any specific guidelines that state one can or cannot be dfd for marrying a non witness.

KateWild

Exactly what I am saying 3rdgen. I knew there would be an example. It depends on your status in the congregation

Elders sons can have sex and repent and just get a private reproof. It's all unjust.

Kate, I'm not sure where you got that information about a "sister" being DF'd- WO

I was just being devils advocate. Some elders can go to the extreme like they did in my case.

The point I was making that nothing in WT is fair and you can't count on the rules as some elders make up their own

Years ago son raised a few years as a JW. Now struggles with depression

by Check_Your_Premises in

background:.

i spent some time here awhile back as an unbelieving mate of a jw wife.

i learned a lot, and was able to be supportive and understanding when she decided to leave the jw.. unfortunately, my son seems to have internalized many of the jw teachings.

KateWild

How old is your son? How long ago did he leave WT?

If he is a teen get him involved with activities with school friends/ uni friends.

We are social creatures and need to interact with our peers.

I think it varies depending on the body of elders and the JW dating the non JW.

If it's a son of elder possibly nothing would happen. If it's a single sister with no family and the non JW has been studying for a while and an unbaptised publisher, the sister could be df'd for years and try and get Ri'd numerous time to no avail.

This is an unfair cult that has management who abuse their positions.
