  1. jw

  two nights ago it was meeting night for the "believing" members of my familly.

  my wife who is usually the most regular at attending meetings decided to stay home because she wasn't feeling well.

  my unbaptized son and his active wife weren't going either.

  Is my marriage worth saving?

  by sacdfan in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  long story - will make it short - i was a jw for 4 years.

  hy husband took to it straigt away and has been a jw for 20 years - we were both converted by one of his workmates.

  our 4 kids were all baptised jws and thankfully 3 escaped (2 disfellowshipped, one fading) - so my eldest son is still in with his dad.

  What happened to your marriage after you stopped believing?

  by JerkhovahsWitless in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know some posters here went through or are going through some painful things right now because of no longer believing when they have a husband / wife that still does.

  others were able to free the minds of their spouse.

  i'm assuming the latter is a lot more rare.. anyone that wishes to share their story, please do.. i'm looking to pass the info on to someone who doesn't totally believe, but may marry a jw.

  Just watched JW programme on Genesis TV with Dave Brown

  by sacdfan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone on the 'mill hill disfellowshippings' thread suggested we make a new thread for the genesis prog and, being the obedient little soul that i am, i have done just that!.

  i have just watched the repeat on genesis this afternoon.

  i had just been to a meeting (just to keep up appearances) and i feigned extreme tiredness to wriggle out of going on the ministry so i could come home to watch it.. it was very interesting - i could identify with much of what dave said.

  Is regularly texting/phoning someone (not your partner) cheating?

  by sacdfan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello - can i ask you all for your opinions?.

  if your partner (husband/wife, gf/bf etc) was phoning and texting someone approx 20 times per day,would you find it unacceptable?

  for example, if your wife was texting/phoning another brother (also married) 20 to 30 times a day, would you get suspicious?

  SISTERS ON THE RAMPAGE!!

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it was well commented on by the older ones in the borg that the sisters were on the rampage when it came to trying to get themselves married.. it was normal practice for sisters in the same click or age group to visvously stab eachother in the back, exlude them as much as possible from social events and gossip about them as much as possible.

  by the time i had left this was such an established practice that it seemed normal.. all this in the hopes that they would be able to bag one of the rare single and sane brothers... at least this is what it was like in my part of the world... what about yours?.

  BLOOD and the Noahide Laws

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i doubt one jehovah's witness in a thousand has ever heard of the noahide laws as such.

  it isn't part of the watchtower teaching.. there are good reasons for that.. noah and family were not jews, israelites or mosaic law covenant parties because they were long before such things even existed.. they were the new progenitors of the human family and represented what we might well call gentiles as a category.. what was jehovah expecting from these 8 souls (and their progency from the flood's end forward?

  become "righteous" in his eyes?.

  Mill Hill Disfellowshippings

  by BorgHater in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few months ago there was a thread about a couple of elders at the mill hill bethel being disfellowshipped because they disagreed with some wt doctrine (i can't recall exactly what it was) and that several other betheliteswere under 'investigation'.

  i haven't heard anything since, does anyone know anything more about this?.

  DOES THE BIBLE really really EXIST?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible did not exist in jesus' day nor in the lifespan of his apostles.. people didn't walk around with one (bible) tucked under their arm.. christians didn't carry one (bible) door to door for preaching and teaching.. the closest thing to the bible was the septuigint greek translation of hebrew scriptures which not one person in a 10,000 had ever seen!.

  creation of the septuagint (wikipedia article).

  ...in the third century bce[6].
