New Light's Achille's Heal
by marriedtoajw infrom time to time i hear or read xjw's talk about scripture verses that they struggled to reconcile with whatever current watchtower teaching was on a given subject.
most christians see new light as a conjured up interpretation by the watchtower to revise or sweep away any prophetic pronouncement or misinterpretation that proves to be false, the generation changes to site one example.
one night some time ago when i let my jw wife know my true feelings regarding the watchtower's claim of authority, i sited eph 4: 11-14 "and he gave some as apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers,to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for the building up the body of christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the som of god, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of christ, so that we may no longer be infants, tossed by waves ans swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human tickery, from their cunning in the interests of decietful scheming".

How can I stop hating the JW religion?
by marriedtoajw inhaving this spiritual division between my wife and i over the years has been very draining in many ways.
so much so that i find myself more and more hating everything having to do with the wtbts especially when i just see watchtower literature.
i've kind of always felt that way but it's getting worst.

Spiritually divided and the pain of it all...
by marriedtoajw infor those of you who still have faith in god and feel a need to worship him, i sincerely hope you have more peace than i feel.
peace with my spiritual division with my wife continues to escape me.
i really need someone to talk to to help me figure this out but my work schedule allows for so little time so i come here.

Biding her time to strike.
by marriedtoajw ini tell you, it truely amazes me how ignorant i allowed myself to be in regards to the teachings of this religion when my wife and i married over 20 years ago.
i still can't get over it and forgive myself believing her when she told me after we got married that the jw religion wasn't for her.
perhaps because i am now immersed in the consequences of putting myself through this willful ignorance because of a suspicion i had that finding out ttatt is a rabbit hole that would only lead to more questions than answers in the long term.

Advice on being an enabler to my unbaptized JW son
by marriedtoajw inok i feel almost embarrassed coming to this board and asking advice about something that my common sence has already answered for me, but i hesitate because of possible fall out unique to jw issues.
most of my posts on this board lately have been about my 21 year old son's involvment with the jw's encouraged by jw mom, both knowing i'm against what they teach.
i've gotten some good advice on this board by some of you who answered a previous post of mine related to my concern of me being an enabler to my 21 year old son.

by marriedtoajw ini have come here for any advice and support that anyone can give and i really need it now.
i don't talk about these issues with my siblings anymore because they have already told me that they have no advice and can't help.

To those exjw's who still believe the bible is the word of God, as I do, tell me how would a JW respond to Acts 1:11
by marriedtoajw in"men of galilee, they said, why do you stand here looking looking into the sky?
this same jesus who has been taken from you into heaven will come back the same way you have "seen" him go into heaven.
" considering that jw's believe that jesus has taken kingdom power in 1914, hope i said that right, what would be their response to an orthodox christian belief that the return of jesus would be visible and not invisible who those with discerning eyes could only see.
