I nitpick. I have had it with the craziness. My jw spouse is being a donkey because of this religion. I live with the consequences of not falling in line every day. If I went along, went to meetings, went in service...Basically if I was fake, then all would be good. So ya, every little thing, every stupid talk, homophobic scare tactic, etc. Drives me nuts. I am depressed, angry, frustrated...

Why the Nov. 2014 Study WT could be a good thing
by Apognophos inhey guys.
i am seeing a lot of flak on the forum over this study wt, and rightly so, as it's rather creepy.
but i'd like to suggest an alternate way of looking at this upcoming series of articles -- as an opportunity.

My husband ain't waking up. He is fully immersed. He is being an ass again even though he calmed down after I was told I had cancer. Perhaps I should start planning the divorce now as it ain't looking good and he will likely suck that article up and look at me crooked. Damn this cult.

Publisher Statistics
by lurkernomore ini was watching a couple videos on youtube earlier and always like to peruse the comments at the bottom of the page.. i'm no sure if this has been discussed recently, but one indivdual made the claim that the societies numbers are massively over inflated, as he/she believes that they include inactive, df'd and da'd in their figures.. does anyone have any information to confirm this or i this just another assumption made without evidence?.
(also has anyone heard from witnessmyfury lately?
i had a pm chat with him a few days ago but not had a reply to my latest msgs.

I was told by an elder that people are counted in the total numbers, unless they officially disassociate. Also, he said that unbaptized minor children are also included.

Demon attacks on JW in past, where'd they go?
by thedepressedsoul inin the 80's and 90's (maybe even earlier) i remember hearing lots of witnesses talk about "demon attacks".
whether it was someone studying the bible who then started having strange things happen in their house to people bringing stuff home from yard sales and getting personal attacks and horrible dreams resulting in them dystroying stuff they brought home or getting rid of it.. .
i also remember hearing a sister say she had to pray in a home with a study because the study started to get attacked.

I have recently heard witnesses mention demons, including my own husband.
The sister I was studying with told some crazy demon stories about stuff from yardsales, etc. So she is still under the impression that demons infect yardsales goods and doesn't buy from yardsales. Her story centered around demonic earrings. Very...strange. My child was there hearing the stories, I did damage control later and explained the whole mental health aspect.
Now my husband, ugh. He threw out my CoC book and said apostate stuff can bring demons into our home.
And smurfs...He was raised believing smurfs are demons and now has banned smurfs from our home. I have been very tempted to buy smurfs and leave them around the house in odd places but figure I will keep the peace.

Perfect Relationship, He Still Broke Up With Me
by tiff21390 inlast month, my best friend of four years and boyfriend of six months came home from a jehovah's witness convention.
he'd been acting strangely the entire weekend and i knew something was wrong.
i initiated a discussion and he said, "essentially our relationship is wrong and i'm not supposed to be with you.

I married my inactive dub...and after over a decade he went active again and things have been crazy. This religion does a number on the minds of the followers. I am so sorry you are learning the hard way. I will say that had I known how this religion and members can be, I would have ran away as fast as I could and never married him. Sending positive thoughts and an e-hug your way, I know it hurts and is confusing.

Skeeter, you sound like an amazing person...you have overcome a toxic upbringing and it seems as though you maintained kindness and humbleness. Stay strong!
