snare...i am not a baptized jw...just an unbaptized pub. i have been actively studying with a sister and told her i no longer want to study with the books but want her to show me from the bible where things like 1914, disfellowshipping, etc. i can be marked but not df...and my life doesnt revolve around dubs so it wouldnt really matter to me...but i am trying to be strategic for my husband.

i know...i was trying to show my h, too. but he was raised "in the truth". he was inactive when we met and when we married...he just went back a year ago.

it was when i almost divorced him before that he started going again. i had discovered infidelity he completely changed...and then staryed going to meetings, got the whole familygoing. now he makes us do 3 family studies on top of the meetings and i am done. i feel like he is forcing us to do this necause he feels that is hpw he can be a better person. but he is pushing us away, still, after fighting to keep us together.

Most Damning Publication?
by Wild_Thing in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
of all of the watchtower's many publications dating now to all the way back to russell, which one publication is the most damning in showing they are a complete crachpot of a religion?

and i course, i mean which original publication before they changed a few words and reprinted!.

personally, i think it is probably russell's the divine plan of the ages.

My child is fed up with all the jw stuff, and knows I dont want to be part of it.

my husband (who is dad) has been cranky. he has barely been talking to me or interacting with me since i vocalized my disbelief. our child can easily see how jerky he is being. he is cranky towards the child at times, as well. i am trying to give him time to absorb and adjust. tbh, last year i almost left him due to his behavior...no specifics buf was divorce worthy. i have fought toforgive to keep the family stable. but now my child says we should have left. and she tells me i shouldkick him out.

i am not going to jist do that, but he doesnt realize he is becoming extreme and pushing us all away. i told him after seeing his complete behavior change last year that we would stay. but he is obsessed with jw...and mad at me for having doubt. it has been several days now of his disdain.

i dont want to be a jw. i dont believe it. i am putting my own research to use and collecting data. then will walk. cant wait to see how he will be then amd i fear perhaps my child was right. maybe this just needs to end

Today's wt study! Notice the faults?
by stuckinarut2 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
did we all notice the way in which this weeks wt study (how to maintain a positive viewpoint) was all about keeping the flock positive even if they feel they are not doing enough in 'service'?.

the irony is that the very reason they feel stressed or worthless is because of the pressures the org puts on them to perform!!!.
