  i was curious to read what you have achieved and accomplished since leaving the watchtower society?.

  in your opinion are you heading toward the success of your goals?.

  personally i am determined to have something near the life i was meant to have before the watchtower organization got a hold of my mind and bent it towards their own purposes and uses.. i think many here would be overjoyed to hear of your successes!.

  I feel bad for them, except when they try to tell me how to live - then I am angry with them.

  But these are individual Witnesses. As an org, I really don't give them much thought - the bOrg is just something that happened to me, and I got better.

  i'll excerpt this bit from 1 samuel 7. always has given me goosebumps.

  32 david said to saul, "let no one lose heart on account of this philistine; your servant will go and fight him.".

  33 saul replied, "you are not able to go out against this philistine and fight him; you are only a boy, and he has been a fighting man from his youth.".

  Can you "fornicate" with your marriage mate? I've heard the WTBTS says that you can. Is this true?

  is it true that the current thinking of jehovah's witnesses is that you can "fornicate" with your marriage mate if you engage in sexual activity that is not approved by the writing department at bethel?

  what are some examples?.

  but i guess this is my first big rant.. this last year has been the hardest year of my life.

  my son tried to kill himself ( he did something pretty bad, got caught, and i guess that's the only way he thought to deal) i am also very close to actually hating my husband, and i do not hate people.

  and every decision that i make lately seems to be the wrong one.

  Tammy: Your husband is a classic narcissistic personality. He needs professional help, both in couples therapy and on his own.

  Take careful measure of what you need to be happy, and go forward. Life is too short to be trapped with a crazy person who, on top of it all, can't appreciate you as a person, a partner, a mother.

  Don't dream it - be it - and find happiness...

  Is it unacceptable to stand up for Jehovah's Witnesses on a site called Jehovah's-Witness.net?

  by THE GLADIATOR in

  1. jw

  i fail to see why people such as alice in wonderland, bane and others, are regularly singled out as tolls.

  demands are repeatedly made that they are shunned and thrown off the forum; while people like perry, who rant on with pages of controversial drivel, are considered acceptable?.

  i personaly don't view any of them as trolls, just people who feel a need to stand up for what they believe.

  What TD said.

  Even what BTS said.

  When an apologist can offer a reasoned, non-brainwashed view of the good that is in the Org, that's great - however, there are those that are clearly hypocritical, beam-in-the-eye, hornets-nest whackers.

  Whether out of ignorance or commission, they are desperately defending their egos at the cost of fact, and it's like being stuck at the KH again.

  Thankfully, I can choose to ignore their posts.

  ...last night i had a conversation with mom about being inactive.

  i knew it was coming since i haven't seen them for a little while and they came to visit for a few weeks.

  well, last night was the meeting... and of course, her husband goes, she doesn't (due to abuse in her childhood involving sra within the kh in another country), and asked if i was going.
