Unevenly yoked - it does work!!!

just wanted to share with my friends, old and new, i got married to an "unbeliever" 11 years ago.. at the weekend we had our marriage blessed in our local parish church with a little party after.. my husband always supported my religious convictions until i disassociated myself in december 2013.. don't deprive yourself of love just because of the jw's.

life is too short.. god bless.

xxxx.

Quelly: congratulations. I have a similar experience minus the religious blessing. My hubby is non religious but did not object to my activities as long as a didn't try to convert him.

We agreed that I would take the kid's to meetings and teach them but they would have to decide for themselves.

I was considered "spiritually weak". I was always off and on with meetings and "service". The fear of Armageddon and hope of paradise kept me clinging on.

We have been married for 30 years. Actually I have teased him about being lucky I was a JW & didnt celebrate things, because he wasnt into that stuff any way. LOL

None of my three kids are in.

Please take a moment to read my daughters story.

by Racheljr in

silenced for so long she has found her voice.. ladies and gentlemen meet my incredibly brave daughter.

My heart goes out to you and especially your daughter.

I think it is important for more people to see how badly most JW congergations treat victims who come forward.

The leadership says publicly that they dont discourage victims reporting to the authorities. But in practice we see the treatment the victims get when they do.

Your daughter's courage is an inspiration.

God does exist here is my nonbiblical reason:

by Curious Kitten in

(before you read i hope no one gets offended by the word retarted...that s how i thought when i was 13)my mom and dad are divorced and my father never helped my mother on raising us, so basically she was a single-mother.

he just abandoned my three brothers and me and my mother had to work two jobs all of the time so we never got to see her.

when we did see her it was after school, but all she did was yell at us, make food, and leave to her next job.

Thank you for your post Giordano.

Am I a Luciferian??

by freemindfade in

so my uncle wrote me a long letter out of concern, it was filled with bit of love and concern here and there but also a lot of staunch dogmatic and at times down right disturbing thoughts and assumptions.

if you doubt the bible or jw.org, seems even close family feels you are on a one way track to death by godville.

anyway, he accused me of being a luciferian.

MissFit

How did your Uncle find out about Luferiaism? Maybe he is doing his own research.

Talking to support and contacts at WT HQ

by Juan Viejo2 in

i have a story to share about my calls to wt ny hq this past week.

i was quite surprised by the level of disinterest and lack of concern from the two contacts that i spoke to.

rather than jumping right in and sharing my experience - and perhaps "poisoning the well," i'd like to read experiences of others on this forum who had the urge or need to call the wt contact number.. btw - mine was not an apostate rant or overly critical of the wt and was presented in a friendly and helpful way.

When are you posting your audios?
