Anyone get divorced because of differing beliefs?
by NiceDream inlately my husband has been miserable, but isn't talking.
he is really upset that he is "stuck with me" now that he knows i question my beliefs.
i thought we could explore the bible together and i hoped he would come to the same conclusion as me, but he won't do that.

Uh oh! WWYD? Please help!
by NiceDream inso i screwed up big time here.
there's a nice young witness who is leaving the "truth".
i sent them a short facebook message and it seems their parent intercepted it...they asked if i sent anything to their kid today.. i said it jws are cultlike, i had doubts i wished i listened to, and to follow their heart.

Day 1 of the convention
by NiceDream inhere's a brief recount of things that stood out to me this year upon my awakening...probably old hat for most of you.
the first experience i heard was from a sister who was afraid to speak to her fleshly sisters about "the truth" and her conscience was really bothered.
she felt horrible that they were going to die unless she shared the "truth" with them.

Does the CO visit inactive ones during his visit?
by NiceDream inwe haven't been to meetings for a few months and weren't aware of the co visit until we received a phone call an hour and a half before the meeting letting us know.
no one came to visit us so far this week, not that i'm complaining.
does the co usually stop by in service?

Fighting a losing battle
by NiceDream inthat's what i've been feeling lately!.
i've seen the light that the "truth" isn't the truth, but my husband is an avid believer.
unfortunately i realized this after we had a baby.

3rd time 2 elders stopped by in 6 months!!!
by NiceDream inthese people don't give up!
i'm hoping it's because we have an assembly coming up soon or something.
they don't call beforehand, they just stop by whenever, ring the doorbell once and leave.

Anyone watch Oprah about Tony Alamo's child brides?
by NiceDream init was so sad to see these children raised in a crazy religion and abused by their preacher (tony alamo).
what was more disturbing was how similar some things were to jws, such as blaming the victim instead of the abuser.. one child bride made an escape from tony and ran away from his house, running for 2 miles before she reached the home of a complete stranger and asked if they could help her.
they let her stay the night and gave her money for a bus ticket to her mother in california.

What to make of this admission?
by NiceDream inmy husband told me that he realizes the wt uses human reasoning, has made lots of mistakes, covers things up, and has published some pretty crazy and wrong ideas...yet he still believes it because "it is the most right" to him.. is this common for jws?
i'm not understanding.

3rd Day Convention Observations
by NiceDream ini was having trouble paying attention, as there weren't enough seats, so i was sitting behind the curtain so i couldn't see the speaker.
i kept thinking about the wizard of oz "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
" anywho...the attendants has blocked off some of the balcony seating because the sound apparently wasn't great.
