  I have doubts... can you help me??- A new idea

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  i have been perplexed as to how to brung my wife out of jws and to exit the religion... but i had an idea last night.

  i know that elders will legitimantly meet with brothers who have doubts and encourage them... not df them .. this is a sheperding call etc.. thus since my wife knows i have doubt s i could say: i want to have two brother over to discuss this ... she will agree.... of course i will hit these guys with biblical textual issues, an biology to where they are stunned and still ask... "so brothers... can you solve this conflict...?".

  in this case they will not think of me as an apostate but may question their own beliefs... .

  If they are like most elders they won't be understanding, they will turn it into a chance to hang you. It all depends on your relationship with these men and their mood. If they have been listening to the GB's most recent rants on apostates I fear you will be pushing the dagger into your own heart. Its up to you to decide. Me? I wouldn't bother. In the end, you know best. Good luck.

  Could this lead to a gag order? I know, I know too soon. Look, this SOB should be choked till he is almost dead every day for the next five years in prison. I think his particular type of crime will bring an early death in prison. Her parents should be put in his cell so they can have a bookstudy group in the big house. Sex abuse and attempted murder? You don't molest a child or try to kill them and go to prison without a target on your back! He's toast. Good riddance. Hope that sweet kid gets out of the shit cult.

  Peer presure to use Ipad

  by Gorbatchov in

  2. friends

  earlier this season i advised my retired father to ignore the use of a tablet during his kingdom hall congregational visits.

  his response was hopefull, but between the lines i could hear he had no choice.. yesterday he showed me his new 600 euro 64 gb ipad air 2. he had no clue what he has to do with it, he told me one of the elders will install the jw.org apps.. so, i feel he had to deal with presure to buy this ipad and i think he is not the only one.. do you recognize this?.

  gorby.

  I know an 88 year old who can't even use her iphone who felt she had to have a tablet for "service". Has no clue how to use it nor any idea how to connect to the net. She has it in hand at the meeting even if its not on. So sad.

  Why do animals suffer?

  bonnie is fourteen years old now and she's still fit and active, but she sleeps (and farts) a lot more and is definitely slowing down.. she loves us in her own dumb way and always comes to the door to greet me when i get home from work.

  she doesn't 'sin' but yeah, she'll steal biscuits and feel shame afterwards.

  she's loyal and intelligent and i dread the day when .

  My dilemma

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have a bit of a dilemma that i would welcome advice on from the forum.. a brother in my congregation is giving evidence of having woken up - his comments and talks are usually slanted towards topics discussed here.

  he is a former elder and is part of a group of other former elders and ministerial servants who i regularly overhear using terms i would expect to hear from ones knowing ttat.

  he is a quite an effective teacher and will probably influence some.. however, in the past he has caused lots of problems for myself and others who i like (including another poster to this site who i have identified) and continues to be someone who i dislike intensely on a personal level.. his comments have been noticed by the body of elders and he is being watched.

  The Org told us to love and get along with others even if they were an ass. We are no longer under their BS direction. If he's been a disturber then let it ride. If they DF him then go say hi, otherwise he might just turn your ass in to cover his.

  Going to see Star Wars:The Force Awakens - What are you seeing?

  by fulltimestudent in

  this is not an attempt to 'straightjacket' anyone into a fixed interpretative perspective.

  so set your mind free and see satan and his demons if you reallynwant to adopt a possible jw perspective.

  or, just sit back and watch the show and the trick affects if you want.. or like the uk guardian you could see the movie in terms of dysfunction (personal and family).. quote: the original movies were always based on the most extraordinary nexus of personal and family dysfunction: a motor of guilt, shame and conflict.

  I had a part on a CA with another elder discussing worldly trends such as "Starter" jackets. (The big sports team jackets.) It was such horse crap, hated that part. Got into an argument with the other elder jealous of my up and coming status at the time. What a fool. I didn't bend over for him and let him do all the talking. I rather enjoyed making him mad.

  It would depend on how close to ground zero I was. Even if I survived I wouldn't go back to Watchtrouser land.
