My wife is feeling uncomfortable about the NEW LIGHT

    So my wife is aware that I am totally disillusioned and I am having problems with lots of things. One day she can see the crap(such as this past watchtower question from readers about IVF... what a pile of insanity. If someone carries me and my wifes baby I have committed PORNEiA ROFL!!! ANyway) the next day she says she will just accept it.

    However the other day while watching her first Not-Rated movie in years since college she all of a sudden said," SO this new light at Matt 24:45 where it says that Jesus will appoint the faithful slave of now just 7 people over all his belongings.... meaning all things on earth and heaven are now only being given to 7 men and not the 144,000. Is that really what they are saying?"

    I laughed out loud and said I have no idea babe - just do what they tell you.

    Eight men, there are 8 men on the Governing Body. Other than that she's got it!

    Apparently your wife didn't "see" the recent "New Light" about the new GB member, Mark Sanderson:

    Mark Sanderson confirmed as new Governing Body member

    Here's a thought, ask her how many of these guys she can name.

    That should be interesting!

    "totally disillusioned and . . . having problems. . . "

    I think you are taking the right approach with your wife. That was my REAL state of mind when I first really began to see TTATT. I was sick! Disillusioned is an understatment. (Now I've moved on to angry.) I was torn with how could it all be UNTruth instead of TheTruth. The lies. The deceit. The manipulating. The politics. When I expressed these feelings, my wife listened. When I got on my "soapbox", she turned on the Cult Personality and shut down. Now she realizes it's all BS as well. We now do the "buffet" approach with the religion -- Take what you like and leave the rest.

    haha thats great, "Just do what they tell you"

    I used the example of Captain Planet in my last explanation to some JWs on the new FDS light, (yes an apostate having to explain correct new doctrine to active JWs) their eyes got large when I used an easier and more understanding illustration. When the 8 gather and their powers combine, they create the Faithful Slave.

    such as this past watchtower question from readers about IVF... what a pile of insanity. If someone carries me and my wifes baby I have committed PORNEiA

    Thanks,

    That's awesome.

    Who needs the Watchtower when you have New Light for Dummies.

    Great conversation sosoconfused! You've given me a bit of hope that my wife may ask something similar - one day.

    It's a papal power-grab by some jokers in Brooklyn trying to turn attention away from the fact that the number of partakers is increasing at a rapid rate.
