My wife left me two weeks ag
by littlemike in
1. jw
2. friends
i dont post on here that often but look everyday.. i used to be an elder and left the witnesses 5 years ago.

my wife left 6 years ago.. in my opinion my wife and i have had the best 5 years of our lives because we have been married 28 years.. after 28 years of marriage she sent me a text you need to go home there is a letter on our bed.

in the letter she clearly states she has left me because she does not love me in the real way.

i dont often post on here but lurk everday.

i was an elder for 11 years, raised as a witness from birth and eventually left in 2002 aged 42.. my dad died on friday aged 87. he was a witness baptized in 1940. he was congregation servant and then elder in hull, england.. we were arranging his funeral tonight with my 2 brothers who are still witness elders.

all they were interested in was what he had done in the "truth".

Did being an elder jepordize your own family?
by avidbiblereader in

do you think being an elder jepordized your own family or do you know of elders who burnt themselves out at the expense of the congregation and let their own families go to the way side?

do you have experiences that this laboring for the congregation has ruined families?.

i tried to be balanced but to do it all, i remember getting up at 2:30 am before work to work on parts so to have time with my daughter but i feel that i took time that was and should have been devoted to my family that had to be put into the congregation for any reason.

Generaration doctrine still current on Watchtower Site
by littlemike in
1. jw
2. friends
it is now over 11 years since the wtbts abandoned the generation doctrine linking those being born before 1914 and still being alive when armageddon arrives.. however it is still available as current doctrine on the watchtower web site.

this is not just a simple mistake.

the society did not have this web site running in 1995 when the doctrine was changed.

Creative Day More New Light
by littlemike in

2. beliefs
when i was brought up in the 60s and 70s a creative day was definately 7000 years as mentioned on another thread and then it became vague as thousands of years like mentioned in an earlier thread.

well the bright light really is getting brighter all the time.

whereas they used to know exactly how long a creative day was they now have not got a clue .

Life in Bethel & Ex-Bethelites know if the GB prayed together?
by Sheepish in
1. jw
2. experiences
i have always wondered how seriously they took this dispensing doctrine thing.

do they all get together and actually pray or just have meetings?

ex- bethelites say they wrote doctrinal articles for the watchtower or awake.
