so you all know that i go with my wife to the meeting to protect the kids from the drival and pacify her.

tonight we are sitting there and she points to mathew and says something about the faithful and discreet slave and she said eplain this.

so breaking away from what i was reading in the meeting..." in search of christian freedom by franz"...i said.

You are frustrated because you are thinking that FACTS matter to your wife.
Her belief system isn't driven by facts.... it's driven by the emotion that is produced when she hears somewhat plausible explanations of life's big picture issues . Although none of them are provable, they allow her to have a warm fuzzy feeling about her future and to wrap up all the unknowns in life into a nice little package, provided by the JW's and outlined in the products(literature) they sell.
A person has to be emotionally ready to face the hard facts of life and many use religion to shield them from having to face them...ever. Help her become strong as a person so that she doesn't need to hide behind a magical belief system to feel safe.

bro.

e. soriano set matters straight for me.. you people alleged that the creation of adam is an "anti-scientific nonsense; and god did not.

create adam from a handful of dust, like the bible says, (ok maybe a bucket full).

ray franz who gave us insight into the gb due to a crisis of conscience was an absolute moron, with absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever like all of us have.

i mean, to have a conscience based on some magic man in the sky.. how stupid can you be?

in search of christian freedom?

Knew him personally.....he was as far from being a Moron as a person can get and he never resorted to unkindness...ever.

few realize just how wicked some of the most revered people in history were.

helen keeler (1880 to 1968) was a wolf in sheep's clothing, no hero.

keller was a communist.

When I was young I gave no thought to such things because the ministry was way to important. That cult messes up more than you think. But now I can only dream of that type of lifestyle. It just seems now that I have pent up desires but don't know what they are. I feel that I'm in a rut. I love my family. We do many things. But on a personal level, it seems I do more working and reading than anything. Am I crazy? Does anyone know what I'm trying to say?
I know exactly what you mean and I have come to think of my situation as being a case of "Arrested Development" combined with "One dimensional thinking".
Having grown up as a JW, I now realize that my development as an individual was stunted, as was my ability to think beyond what was set before me, by others. My development as an individual reached a certain plateau and was held there by a lack of outside influence and information, combined with a rigorous schedule filled with preprogrammed activities and information designed to alter ones thought processes.
After a lifetime of this, I find it difficult to summon the energy needed to start from scratch and begin doing the things that one does when they are younger and have the time,energy and fresh outlook on life.
Having said that, I find it interesting to see certain aspects of my personality that were always there,awakening and I see myself being drawn to interests I had a younger person but was told to put them off until the new system.

Didn't Eve get in a bunch of trouble for wanting to be like Jehovah?
Gen 3:5 The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die! "For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

I love threads like this because everyone loses their minds coming up with insane things that they think will actually happen.
For the sake of discussion, most of us can quite easily come up with an idea or two on any given topic without losing our minds or resorting to insane thinking,
Just sayin'.....
