Model Jw family?

by MrTheocratic in

i would like to get the opinion of those on this community.

does serving as an elder make one a bad family man.

with all the demands placed on those serving... how can one make time for family life?

Absolutesbeginners

For the "show" its ok ..

with Sophia and Caleb , smiling , getting ready to go door to door ...

throwing SPARLOCK in the garbage on the way ....And signing their new blood card for the new year .....

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

In real life its just NOT ok .

I am not my father, but i know him quite well . the WORST part of his life ( by far )was when he was "elder" ( five years something ..?) . familly life was too at the time.

Allways on time at KH , allways door to door , always answering to meeting , with a lot of yellow pen on the STUDIES ....( Look , rows behind ....i PREPARED it !! )

And heads moving when a Boss is passing bye .yeah yeah ...this is soooo deeep ...so powerfullll.....the end is sooooo cloose ....

Bol...cks

it was 25 years ago .

Any here who didn't rebel as a teenager and were a goody two shoes instead?

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

when i was a teenager in the borg i was a dyed in the wool, goody two shoes, squeaky clean,"spiritual " sister.

alot of my peers around me were rebelling and going off the rails but not me.

i was constantly praised for this and even felt a little smug about it ha!.

Yes i see what you mean ....
« i should have rock the boat earlier « I think the same sometimes .....i was like you a «goody two shoes « until my 18 een .
But if i wasnt it would have been WW3 at home i guess ....big time ... ( it was even anyway )

Past is the past; and you CANT change it ....and maybe i think if you want to smoke drink and spend nights with many different people you can wait after 18 anyway .no ?

Many teens with parents whom are not jw do the same . quiet until 18. thats all .

dont really know if its good or bad . and i dont have kids myself ......

What i regret the most about my teenage times in jwland is that i was going door to door every f...ing week ,and that every year i signed "by myself" this f...ing «blood card» .

I guess i was too young and powerless to say «NO» !

This list is missing many other things ........

Yes you right we should have rock the boat EARLIER !!

Nevertheless dont forget some people NEVER wake up ......!!

So your are lucky ! look in front of you , not behind you !

( do what i say , not what i do
Take care .

Ps btw me too i felt like i wasnt part of "their world" at the time , and still think now i am not part of "this world "too . 20 years later ....lets take it as a chance ..."another point of view in life"

Skin of My Teeth

by WhatshallIcallmyself in

an evidence for divine origin that has often been used (at least to me) is where job describes "...escap[ing] with the skin of my teeth".

science is quoted as having discovered that teeth are covered in skin and therefore how would job have known something that modern science has only just discovered.

i was reminded of this at this weeks meeting when this verse was quoted but was surprised when a commenter said how it wasn't necessary to mention this in light of other "evidence" in the bible.

Absolutesbeginners

You right .

The "Job' s skin's teeth" is THE THING

It is the "OFFICIAL LINE "

Life is wonderfull of surprises isnt!!

It IS an evidence for DIVINE ORIGIN !

Absolutesbeginners

she asked me if i wanted to spend some time with my niece, while she went to her sister's baby shower.

it turns out my niece can't go because she's about to be disfellowshipped at the ripe old age of 14. .

Absolutesbeginners

"It's the demons..."

by pale.emperor in

one thing that really frustrates me inside is how quite a few jw's (especially my family) actually believe that demons like to inhabit second hand vases, or clothes etc.

my sister and mother are so bad with this that they wont even talk about it - because even talking about it "brings demons into your home".

so any attempt to show them that it's unscriptural is shut off with, sometimes them literally going "lalalalalalala im not listening".. i used to believe it myself (why wouldn't i?, i was told by my mother and father it was fact).. what i'd like to point out to anyone that would let me debunk it is this:.

Absolutesbeginners

Just an easiest way to make life more "understandable "

If something is good : its from God ...

If something is bad : its from the "demons" ...

Black and white ....Ying and Yang ...Gwen a Du ....

Some "adults" are like really young kids . they need "imaginary friends" to stay on their legs .

because sometimes real life is too hard for them .

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I understand it fully , i am the same .

Sometimes .

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Find a nice Kayak , a nice fishing place far away , nobody around . Go Alon

e .Take a really sharp knife and maybe a book from A Conan Doyle .

You will never see any "demons "

Maybe some fish !! And yourself on the water
