  Mothers Doubts: Latest Update

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  further to my previous thread i thought i would share an update with you on the situation with my mother... .

  essentially my mother has been a jw for 30 years and we had a long conversation which involved me running through my reasons for no longer going to the meetings; she seemed quite receptive and agreed for me to send the documents and articles relating to the un.

  well that very evening she went to see her elders without actually seeing the documents and asked about the un saga....apparently the elder told her that 'this was all sorted out ages ago and yes this has come from the apostates' 'the society has never been a member of the un and that this just a hoax designed to stumble people....' hmmn.

  My mother hasnt got long on this earth given her health and she is happy in the situation she is in; if she discovered the truth about the truth I dont think she would survive on the outside without the social structure she is used to, she has no friends outside of the witnesses, she has no family other than me that would support her....in other words whilst its wrong that the wool is pulled over her eyes there is no real benefit to her leaving....shes not being mistreated...other than spiritually...and shes predominantly happy in her ignorance.

  I have to agree, this is the loving thing to do, and you are the better person for doing it. It's just such hard thing to fight against, the brainwashing I mean. I had a similar talk with my dad, and came to the same conclusion as you, I'm just not going to get through. At least I have some degree of involvment in my parents lives, for whatever the amount of time is, that they have left here on this earth. I feel for you, I know what you are going through.

  What Kinds of Jobs Do JWs Have That You Know Of?

  by minimus in

  i was thinking that most jws that i personally know have jobs that they really aren't happy with.

  almost no one is a professional except for one cardiologist that got baptized a few years ago.

  there's no one that's been raised in the "truth" that has a college education that i know of except one 22 year old young man who has done nothing to seek employment since he graduated.........any witnesses that you know of with great jobs?

  yes the ones working at the police (I know two) do not carry a gun.

  Not sure how you can be a police officer, and not carry a gun.

  No one mentioned janitor?

  How do you trust your partner?

  does anyone really trust their girlfriend/boyfriend around members of the appropriate sex?.

  i thought we had some form of trust, but i dropped my biotch off at the car dealership today and noticed a rather long conversation going on with a "questionable" neighbor (one that we've talked about before in a sexual way).

  so, how do you go about building trust in a relationship?

  but the waiting is nerve-racking.

  Maybe dont wait? I mean open up the dialogue, and talk this out with her. If its reassurance or attention she needs, let her know you want to give it to her, but that it hurts you when she says and does these things to get you to do it.

  I try to have trust for my own sake, but it seems that I'm being purposely provoked with jealousy on a daily basis. "This person was flirting with me today." "I'm going out to dinner with a friend from work (said in a provocative way)", etc

  That's an unfair thing to do to a person Sonny, its just mean. I think she may do it out of insecurity. Maybe by provoking you, she thinks she can make you say things to her she wants to hear, or do things she wants to you do? Just a thought. Sorry this is happening to you.

  You're 3 hours ahead of us here. Maybe that explains where everyone on the west coast is, out partying, except for my sorry behind, here with the kiddos, putting cold creme on my face.
