Franz believed in God’s love, was honest and had a brain.
Sound like a profile of one of these left overs?

Why I get out of bed every morning.
by compound complex inbecause someone needs my help.. as a jw -- you can relate -- i truly believed that what everyone really needed was the kingdom hope and its eventual reality.
you know, the hope that does not lead to disappointment.
of course, if anyone needed practical help with a task or getting through some difficulty, most of us realized that was part of being a helpful and caring friend (or family member).. at nearly seventy years of age -- no, i didn't enter the promised kingdom in my healthful and vibrant youth -- my getting out of bed isn't so bad.

she basically is telling me that I am immature and a hypocrite because "I promised to do his will and I dedicated my life to Jehovah."
Tell her that if you married a person who you discovered was a child molester or pathological liar you would every right to leave /divorce. It would not mean you did not believe in marriage —it would just mean that you don’t believe you have to be bound to a lying monster for the rest of your life
And,Of course, you don’t have to “remarry” at all.🙃😳❤️💤

Why I'm rejoining the JWs
by Fred Franztone indear brothers and sisters.
after many years outside of the truth, living as an atheist, i have come to realise that i have been on the wrong path.
the fool has said in his heart that there is no god, and i have been a fool.

Healing
by compound complex ini feel an unfamiliar restlessness in my lower body.
too long have i been confined to my sickbed; my mind and heart coax me arise and gaze upon the world outside.
it is no longer a matter of fighting long-entrenched despair.

Thank you thank you, Coco and Sylvia. Poetry is bare and beautiful. The healing counterpoint when explicit pose is just too clinical.
My heart runs with poetry in a world that says: what gibberish!
I love you too.

Coco-So beautifully a scene this night of quiet solitude on this board so filled with rancor and uncertainty and yet holding hands.

The "Faulty weights, scales and measurements" of the Governing Body!
by stuckinarut2 inwhile chatting with forum friends the other day, we recognised the way that the gb have so cleverly set a faulty benchmark.
yes, a faulty set of scales or weights for all witnesses!.
two scriptures can even apply:.

@ wake up
As Bart Thompson, former District Overseer once said, "If the Society told me that this book is black instead of green, I would say, 'Y'know, I could have sworn that it was green, but if the Society says it's black, then it's black!'"
When I left the organization it was when I heard myself telling PO and a brother that I used to respect:“Listen when you guys came to my door you opened the Bible and asked me to read a scripture then asked me what it said (you remember how that went—it always was a scripture they used to divide you from the mainline) Then you asked me ‘do you need a minister to tell you what this means or can you understand it for yourself?’ But now you are not letting me think. YOU are telling me what to think.”

Solicitors Appontment Tomorrow - Advice Appreciated
by pale.emperor infollowing up on this thread: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5012900121935872/am-overreacting-here?page=3#!#5179106934128640.
im seeing my solicitor tomorrow to see about getting an order in place making sure any contact my daughter has with my jw family goes through me and not my ex-wife.. explained the situation briefly to the lawyer, she was asking more and more about why should i be concerned if a jw had access to my child.. i mentioned the blood issue, the shunning, the inappropriate pictures of armageddon in books/mags etc.
do you think i should bring in watchtower literature to show them what i mean?

The picture in my book of Bible stories that shows Abraham with his knife over Isaac.
The words you read to a child – the words are horrific. God tells Abraham :
”kill and burn your son.”
