Advice on fading needed

by wallievase in

jw
friends

these 2 options are before me right now-.

1. write a letter to the elders and my family, not da myself but basically saying i have too much going on in my life and am confused, so that they will stop bothering my wife and stop asking me questions all the time.

after i write the letter continue to go to the hall less and less.... 2. appease my wife.

Good luck....not easy to cope and there is no wisdom that can be given here.

Slowly miss meetings and don't give an explanation to anyone.

Tell others you"re coping with some doubts but make sure you never say anything agaist the GB or the watchtower. You do that and you will be DF.

Was married for 26 years and my marriage ended because i did not believe anymore.

Moved to a Spanish congregation for a while even though i could not speak the language and slowly faded. It was beautiful exit.

Good luck.

both reopened mind and i are now in our early 60's and it seems our conversations lately have been on putting everything up for sale and buying a rv and travel until we can't anymore.

it has been a dream of ours for along time to see all the site's in the u.s. and canada.

we feel we could make money as we go by selling and teaching using herbs and gardening.

I have met many couples that have done it. Usually you reach a certain age and you will not be able to do it anymore or the wife is the one that gets tired of "Road Life" and wants to settle down.

I would sell your place and do it but keep the house in Florida as a back up because eventually you cannot be on the road when you are ninety years old. It's not easy.....many quit traveling due to pain and aches as they advance in age.

If you sell everything, even the house in Florida eventually you can consider living in a mobile home park in Florida or California. Not too expensive and you could easily do it on SSA.

I lived in one in Hemet CA. and loved it.

And what's the big deal about international delegates?????

I guess they have to find a reason to celebrate since everything else is demonic, wicked and deserving of DF.

God Says Scripture is Enough

by Perry in

from the 2013 new world translation 2 tim.

all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, so that the man of god may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.. .

as jw's we must have read that scripture a thousand times.

sporece

Brainwashed to believe that " Mother" was needed to be competent and fully equipped.

"Mother" said jump we asked how high!!

July 6 WT Study- Lesson they want you to learn

by bruh2012 in

- if you have a problem with someone in the congregation -it's your fault.

- only brothers have the immorality problem.

- brothers have 4 main vices on his mental shelf.

Jehovah doesn't cause problems but he allows Satan to do so- so that he can provide training to help us.

What a load of crap...what a loving father he is to bring in the bully and persecute his "children".

And we're supposed to love this guy.

What parent would allow this to happento his own kids

Assembly Invitations: A Sad, Pathetic Anachronism

by metatron in

jw
friends

so, witlesses are handing out assembly invitations locally for their gatherings to invite the public to attend...... .

a meeting that's 50, 100, 150 miles away?

there was an era when placards were put in storefront windows and bombastic sermons were delivered by radio.

sporece

I remember in 2007 going and leaving invitations for the convention in Southern California and it was 100degrees, wearing a tie and sweating like a pig and was thinking "who in the hell is gonna come to the convention just by reading this stupid invitation".

Glad that i'm out.

If you had the audience of the GB, what is your #1 question you would ask them?

by Darth Fader The Sequel in

there are a million of them and mine is by no means the most important question to ask them if i only had one shot at it.

but, i have always wondered what kind of bs excuse they would give as an answer to this question: "brother goober bum, given that there are both male and female partakers here on earth who claim to be of the 'anointed' and plan on being of the 144,000 ruling with christ in heaven for eternity........ why are the female 'anointed' treated as submissive, second class citizens and why is their opinion on doctrinal matters, matters of teaching and reproving, anything at all.... why are they not recognized while here on earth even though you claim that jesus has selected them to become angels to rule with him?

".

Do you truly believe in your heart that god is using you guys as the source of truth for mankind.

Elders answer questions about the changes of the blood ban

by opusdei1972 in

some days ago two elders visited my sister because she has not been attending the meetings more than one year.

this time she prepared notes containing watchtower past teachings about the blood ban so as to ask them for those changes, and it seems that the elders were also prepared for her past questions.

for instance she showed them that "albumin" was considered "under scriptural ban" in 1956 (read the page 20 of awake, september 8).

Are the JW still carrying NO BLOOD CARD...........have not been to a meeting in seven years.

the paedophile/rape case in wales has attracted the interest of the the charity police.

it seems the clouds are gathering and the charitable status of the wt in the uk is in question.

not great for the dubs but superb for champions of truth and righteousness.. ironic isn't it.
