Divorce for emotional abuse?
by somebodylovesme inbecause of a recent family situation (always a good time!
), i've been in a debate with a jw relative about whether the society permits divorce (without remarriage) where there is emotional abuse.
this relative swears the literature has said that a person can leave her spouse where there is emotional abuse, but that she cannot remarry.

Do you learn from negative people?
by free2beme ini heard once a comment or quote that said something to the affect,.
"do learn from negative people, is to lower yourself to their thinking and to learn from their vast years of mediocrity".
with that said, i think it pays sometimes to reflect on who we listen too in our life, and more important, who we strive to please and be life.

I need advice
by poodlehead ini have a 14 year old son who lives with his father a jw and his step mother jw who grew up as a witness.
my ex-husband is fairly well off but his father and family have done very well for them selves.
the way they pass money down is into the next of kin and when that person dies the next down the line gets it.

Planting seeds of doubt or helping someone break mind control
by thecarpenter inhelping someone break mind control.
how can you effectively help a witness break the watchtowers grip on their minds?
as a layman, i would think that encouraging someone to examine the history of their beliefs would be one way but many people don't like to do research.

SOoooo many are leaving the forum.
by AK - Jeff init is sad - but it is growth for them too.
forums like this do seem to feed the obsession that we are trying to shed, don't they?
i have spent less time here over the past few months.

Could the "shocking" announcement be about blood issue?
by WingCommander ini've been reading the random threads lately about the "shocking" announcement that is to be made at the end of september, and i'd like to throw my 2 pence in.
now, we all know that the wtbs has made several failed predictions, and i think we can all agree that they have probably learned their lesson from 1975's fiasco.
most at bethel are old enough to remember the fallout for years after 1975. so to me, i think it's safe to say that they aren't going to be claiming the end is this year.

jws celebrate birthdays?!
by dobbie ini was speaking to a friend last night, trying to explain why i don't go to meetings etc,(waste of time though she just can't seem to understand my point whatever i say), anyway she said as long as i don't d'a myself she can still speak to me.
she said they only d'f you if you commit a gross sin.
i refuted this saying if they knew i didn't agree with some of the teachings, sent a fathers day card etc and you weren't sorry they'd get rid of you.
