No Special K, but if you're really nice to me I might buy you miniature version! Ha Ha. A really small 13" with a vcr built in. Isn't that so special K. You can even put it in your Kitchen for your woman or something to watch her decorating shows like I do on my big Plasma screen TV. That and King of the Hill. The scary shows are good too. I can't wait to watch Lord of the Rings on that sucker. I bet Top Gun would be good too. I love that movie! LOL

Freedom or Bondage.....a Hard Choice for Many

by gumby in

lately something has bothered me as regards to many on jwd who wonder what to do, once they have found the organisation to be a destructive, mind controling sect.

aside from these ones deciding how to exit without causing a judicial meeting nor a stir among the publishers, it whether or not they want to risk their marriage and or family ties.. many on this site have related how their marriage fell to pieces because the dub mate could not accept their loved one "leaving jehovah", and they could never meet in the middle to save the marriage.

others who leave, push their dub mate away by their constant verbal expressions against the organisation...because they think they should....hence, the marriage falls apart.. here's the hard part i don't know the answer to.

I've done the out of the ORG. life and I've been in the ORG. For a while I think I might have actually fooled myself that I believed. The only time I did well as a JW was when I didn't live at home. When I lived with my family they pushed it on me so much that I ended up rebelling. I had it pushed on me my whole life. In this situation it is hard to develop a relationship with God on your own. You really can't know or find out if you do truly believe. The end result was my staying a witness and marrying in the faith. Well I did end up finding out over the years while I was married to my husband that it really wasn't in my heart nor what I believed. I don't think that you can be in the JW org. for someone else. It has to be a true heartfelt feeling. I don't think that you can go through life living for someone else. I like the idea of living for each other. If you are going to meetings for your mate and an unbeliever, to me, that is a very selfish thing for your mate to ask of you. It is their choice in life to be a Witness so why push their choices, decisions on you. Freedom of choice! The end result to me, in my opinion will be resentment and difficulties in the marriage. Fighting and squabbling. Difficulties with children, if you have any. I grew up with a witness Mom and a non believing Dad, so I know. I am speaking from experience. It was hell growing up. Alot of fighting. I wish that my Dad would have been stronger and stepped up to the plate and said "NO, you are not forcing this religion on our kids". Just my experience. I hope it helps someone. love RHCP

DID ANY ELDER DO anything questionable?

i have read ozziepost's post on those tasmanian elders who raided a sda church.. does anyone know of similiar behaviour by elders?

I got brought before the elders once, for the stupidest thing, might I add. The elder was yelling at me. He was yelling and screaming that I could have brought reproach on Jehovah's name. I was disgusted. I told him in a calm way that I didn't think that Jehovah would appreciate him yelling at me. That calmed him down. He was the overzealot of the Kingdom Hall. I always disliked that brother after that. The other elders were even looking at him like, buddy simmer down here. I also had another elder tell me that there was no such thing as depression " to snap out of it". I thought that was questionable advice. Myself! What an idiot! You can't just snap out of clinical depression.
