  Explain to him that you are willing to remove from the home everything connected with your form of Christianity, except your Bible, insisting that he does the same - no J.W. literature whatsoever allowed in the home

  That was a good advise from the The Fall Guy

  I am an Ex JW and my wife is still a JW. I could completely understand your situation. My wife demonizes Christmas trees as well as festival lights. She never wishes me for my birthdays and pretends as if she doesn't know its my birthday, year after year.

  It was my greatest desire to plant a real Christmas tree in my home for which my wife vehemently opposed. I tried to convince her that this was Gods creation and there is nothing wrong to plant a real tree for its beauty. I finally planted without her consent. She still views it as demonic.

  I am taking it slow and steady, to make her realize she is in a CULT. Takes a lot of patience for sure.

  Bible is good if we look for implied truth

  by venus in

  thumbs-up gesture doesn’t covey much if we see only four fingers closed and thumb standing upward.

  but if we look for the implied meaning, then it is a positive, informal signal indicating a job well done, and saying ‘keep it up.’.

  similarly, biblical accounts don’t convey much if we see them as mere accounts.

  Why is Venus Targeted always as a Bramma Kumari ? I have never seen any of his/her posts in favor of that religion.

  Satan in Heaven

  by pleaseresearch in

  this has always baffled me.

  that is why was satan and his demons allowed to be in heaven for so long after they split from god?.

  if we did that then we are out of the congregation, members are shunned and also kicked out of families homes.

  BigJ instantly kills Uzzah who tried to prevent the ark from falling as well as mindlessly kills millions of humans on various occasions for petty reasons, but leaves Satan aloof with heavenly privileges until 1914.

  Cast Demons to Earth: Big /Small J cast out demons to Earth. This is like a parent redirecting a wicked person to his children's home.

  God is Love.

  Happy Thanksgiving 2017

  once upon a time, as a jw, i was afraid to buy turkey during thanksgiving time.

  while attending the thursday night ministry school meeting (on thanksgiving day), i was cautious not to mention the word thanksgiving, for fear of bringing reproach to bigj.. now, free at last, my happy thanksgiving wishes to everyone who celebrate this holiday..

  Pale.Emperor Meets The Mormons

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was a jw i was fascinated with the mormon religion.

  i never believed a word of it of course, but i was interested in their religion like most boys were interested in star wars.

  i’ve read the book of mormon, doctrine & covenants, pearl of great price, book of abraham, watched their videos, read critical books by ex mormons etc etc… (strange at the time that i never did this with my own religion!

  If your yell made you feel good that is ok.

  I would approach this differently. May be striking up a conversation about the various WT cover ups as well as to prove to them that I am happier now than as a JW before.

  I too met the Mormons a couple of times after I quit JW.

  Once I asked them if they truly believed in the Golden plates and how and why it was later taken away. The funny method by which their revelation was decoded... with some magical hat, stones and stuff. No Black people in their church until the 70's. They said they honestly believed that. Why would they not ?

  I told them that "You guys are educated, why cant you do some investigation on your religion and see if your beliefs are Bizarre. "

  Hoped this may have touched their ego to do some critical thinking. May be I had sown some seeds of doubt which would have sprouted later.

  can anyone give me a valid reason for it?

  growing old is a drag.

  the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..

  I prefer to live externally without disease and death, but without worshiping a vengeful, egotistic , crazy and blood thirsty god.

  I don't think we can count anything as benefits, as all aspects would be fulfilled, supposedly
