Is Grangemouth not the congregation where all the elders/elders wives or prominent people were shagging each other a few years ago?

As another Xmas approaches...
by snare&racket ini hope everyone here is well and staying strong x .
another year, another year with no armageddon.. i have noticed the jw pals and family become more frenzied of late, small things in the news wind them up and make them more hysterical than ever.
the events in paris were horrendous, but to a jw they mean the end is near...........why wasn't it near when chechnya was in the shit?

I note the hysteria in both their general attitude and their TV productions etc.
From top to bottom, it's as if people realise that they've invested so much time in the religion (essentially, their lives) and they just CANNOT accept the folly of everything that they have become as people and as a religion
Even in the face of logical, coherant argumentation, I've been told by two or three JW's recently - "well that's what I believe, like it or lump it. It comforts me so leave it alone"
No argument back. No defence of their beliefs. Just fingers in the ears and holding on tight to the comfort blanket.
Laughable.

If I were a JW watching the broadcasts I'd be thoroughly ashamed that these simple minded arseholes are running my religion.
Not only that, but they are the direct channel to god.
It's so laughable. Really.
Wakey, wakey jw's.

The JW religion has just cost me my marriage & my family life
by jambon1 inafter leaving the organisation 10 years ago i fought with everything i had to stay in my marriage and with my three children.
after a tumultuous number of years trying to maintain a happy family life while living in a divided home, it's finally over.
the religion is single handedly responsible for destroying my marriage and my family.

Like I say, I find the most galling thing the inability of my wife to consider the objections of her husband of 20 years.
Take for example disfellowshipping. I have repeatedly explained to her that you cannot decide on the rightness of something based on a one sided story. We all know the society's take on disfellowshipping - it's loving, it takes faith, people thank you in the end for the shunning.
I really wanted my wife to read some accounts of those who were really negatively affected by it. The other side of it. The suicides, the depression, the feeling of social exclusion. She simply wouldn't do it.
That was only one area that I had massive reservations about. There were plenty more.
To give up on your marriage without even making an effort to see the other side of the story is absolutely astonishing to me.

Thank you for your comforting remarks.
Essentially, this talk given at a convention a couple of years ago sums it all up.
What is sinister about it is the manner in which they seem to take pride in it all. Absolutely no shame or sorrow over what they do to families the world over.
As it stands, I feel so angry that some sort of retribution seems appropriate. I worry for what I'm capable of as I feel so frustrated and angry right now. But I'll not.
I feel completely shafted by this religion.

My kids are 5, 11 & 13. My youngest two I've banned from attending. My eldest, my daughter, goes along but isn't entirely immersed in the JW lifestyle. I still feel I have plenty of scope for influencing her.
What could I have done differently? Well, that's a hard one.
I couldn't bear the divide in my marriage any longer. My wife refused over a period of ten years to look into one single issue that I had investigated and found to be corrupt, untrue or morally wrong. Not one thing. I found that very difficult to accept. I always thought that she might have a 'lighbulb moment' over matters like disfellowshipping or blood as she is devoted to her children. I always held a bit of hope that she would perhaps mentally leave the religion one day. I was wrong.
As a married couple we were miles apart. Completely divided by our world view and the future goals we wanted for our children. How can one proceed in a marriage like that?
To my wife's own admission, even on a text message yesterday, she 'couldn't have asked for a better husband.' I worked hard and supported my family in every way possible. I was a bloody good dad. My only regret is that I eventually found my wife's depression very difficult to handle. But in spite of that, for ten years, through all the division I tried to make it work.
I noticed that I posted this 8 months ago and similar posts in the past.
The writting has been on the wall for years, sadly. It's incredibly sad.

The religion is single handedly responsible for destroying my marriage and my family. My wife's unswerving loyalty to the organisation, without caring to investigate even one of my concerns took its toll and now I'm left with nothing. My wife is a loving, caring, woman. Things could've been so different for us.
Well done the JW religion! You have accomplished the division that your holy book brags about.
Now I must rebuild my life.
Disgusting.
