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.

Has anyone successfully faded without moving out of the territory?

just wondering if they'll eventually give up in a couple years.
anyone have experience with this?.

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.

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.

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?

Feeling really sad
by NiceDream inmy husband and i have been married for almost 10 years.
we were married really young, and tried to make the best of it.
recently, i began listening to my lingering doubts and realized i've been so unhappy because i was living a lie.

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.

How to explain blood fractions are still blood to someone who doesn't agree...
by NiceDream indoes anyone have a good analogy or something i could use to help explain to my husband that blood fractions are still blood?
he feels that it gets to a point where it's not blood anymore.

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.

Can I ask elders a question without getting in trouble?
by NiceDream inrecently i found no scriptural evidence to support 607 or therefore 1914. and the new overlapping generation really bothers my conscience because i don't see how it is scripturally supported.. .
if i write a letter to bethel, or talk with local elders, i am afraid of getting df'd because i don't want to cause family conflict (with my spouse's family, not mine).
i asked my spouse if it would be ok if i talked with an elder because i want answers, but don't want to cause family problems.
