hey everybody!

i had it out with hubby this weekend.

i think what set it off was a "to-do" list that he made first thing in the morning that listed all the chores i needed to do under his name and the chore under my name was to go to the kh with him to hear the co give a talk about "why the bible is accurate".

Mrs. Witness

Thanks OTWO!!

I told him that the house to house thing was groups that got together!

Another funny thing I said (if I do say so) was "It's the sermon on the mount, not the sermon on the doorstep!!" Gotta keep my sense of humor!

Been to evilbible. Tried that. I took a course on the NT at college and so I knew about many of the discrepancies already. He puts his figurative fingers in his figurative ears and mentally says "blah, blah, blah".

Buffalo: Exactly. He had the audacity to tell me how EFFECTIVE the d-t-d work is. I laughed at him and asked how many hours it took to get one convert.

Moo: That's sort of where I was going with it, but the night before he told me that he thought Jimi Hendrix would be resurrected. When I asked him why he thought that, he just said "because I do" and then he said "I doubt that he heard the message". So, I just dropped it.

Is it common for JW's to want things both ways?

Yes, 007, we also went down that road. He mentioned the "broad road" and the "narrow path" and I asked him why they wanted to convert everyone because if they converted everyone, then JW would be the broad road...

He also said that going door-to-door was an effective way of converting people. I laughed at him for that one.

Hey Everybody! I had it out with hubby this weekend. I think what set it off was a "to-do" list that he made first thing in the morning that listed all the chores I needed to do under his name and the chore under my name was to go to the KH with him to hear the CO give a talk about "why the Bible is accurate". I wrote HELL NO across the lists and proceeded to make my list: Hubby: Stop attending cult brainwashing sessions forever, work 40 hours. Mrs. Witness: do all chores, cooking, shopping, taking care of kids, and work 40 hours forever". He just smiled and folded the lists up. He thought he could bribe me by promising a fabulous brunch after the meeting...he said he'd even skip the WT session!!

Anyway, he told me he was doing the same work as Jesus, going door to door. I challenged him to find ANY scripture that said that Jesus went door to door. Of course he couldn't find any but he settled on the one in Matthew about "find a house, give it your blessing...yadda yadda". I told him that meant "find a place to stay". I almost thought I had made some inroads. He was really stymied. Unfortunately, he's so far in that he thought that it was his fault that he couldn't find the right scripture.

I got so angry with him that he told me that I was fulfilling scripture. How do you continue a conversation with someone after he says something like that? I digress...

Anyone got any good links for the door-to-door argument? I really felt a doubt there.

Thanks for listening!

i just dont think i can take it anymore....my wife of 11 years is such a great gal... but we are just not connecting anymore......otwo says hang in there...as she may come around and wake up!!

!....but the extreme differences in our lifes are starting to take a toll...and may be making me want to drink too much.....i should not need to self medicate like this!!

!.....soooooo wish i had never woken up or could just deal with the real truth....what a rock to my world.......nothing will be the same.................................................oompa.

Oompa,

I have a recovering alcoholic husband, an alcoholic brother, and a grandmother who died, riddled with cancer, with a low ball glass of Wild Turkey in her hand. Man, booze kills...brain cells, families, relationships, and your soul. I agree with those that said to man up, grow balls, cowboy up, or as Gordon Ramsey says "get some bollocks". My brother lost his wife of 20 years because of booze and one of his two kids will have nothing to do with him because she can't stand his drinking. You don't want that. It sounds like you love your wife and your kids. Put your bottle down, stand up, man up, tell the borg "f*** you" and get on with your life. YOU run your life. Now live it.

Mrs. Witness.
