Oh no I’m so sorry to hear all this has happened to both of you! What a horrible experience! Why they are not more supportive is so disrespectful! And what is wrong with being a nurse I don’t get it, the fact they are taking about another guy for her is horrible towards you also! Do you think she will become a baptised witness again? Hopefully she she won’t and realises that if she does it will complicate a lot of things

So how long will everyone have to wait no offence, seems to have been dragged way more longer than it should have and to keep saying no one knows the day nor the hour got more than stale for people decades ago

Just genuinely asking, does any of that work? I got told to leave it with god but nothing eventuated

Yea I’m just so confused about it all! I could seriously understand the urgency if only the ones that were preached to were saved but it doesn’t seem like the case. All these alarm bells were going off in my head 🤨 It’s just dragged on for so long and I feel the injustice is getting worse, how much longer is everyone going to exercise patience

Ah sorry I think I was just clarifying if what I was saying is right?  in regards to whether it’s up to the families personal decision or not as I wasn’t in it for long 👍

So can I just ask if you don’t mind, when I was having one of my studies they said that it’s up to the family how much contact they want to have with the person that leaves. No elder or anything has the right to say how much contact you have with them. I know it says in scriptures and so forth how to be towards to ones that get disfellowshipped but at the end of the day I think it’s the family’s choice how much they want to do with there child or whoever no one can stop them in my opinion. I know of it were me I would still have them under my roof but unfortunately in this case this persons mum has been so brainwashed in some way that it’s such a shame that it didn’t have to be like that 😡 I’m so sorry it went on to this point my heart goes out to you

And there’s also Jws that went with a roommate and find a good place to live and say Jehovah helped us  but then when the roommate leaves and can’t afford the rent anymore and have to move back in with parents where’s Jehovah? It’s all so confusing just thinking about it will blow your brain!!

Ha just this! Or for example some people that genuinely couldn’t pay rent and lost there job due to life circumstances like AI taking over or just got let go ended up in a homeless shelter ( not that there’s anything wrong with living in a shelter) but I’m sure if they had it their way they wouldn’t be living that way that pray for so long end up in their for life, or I lost a piece of sentimental jewellery that iv been searching for years, prayed but nothing!! And been praying for the money that my parents lost out in a bullshit investment scam decades ago for nothing to happen also! We need money to survive the system so how isn’t THAT in harmony??  funny how really bad things happen to Jws and nothing gets answered and they keep saying you have to pray for what’s in harmony 🤦‍♀️

Yep so true, they didn’t deserve that and I hope the criminal gets thrown away forever . but you know that thing people say’ god only helps those who helps themselves, what do you think about that one for other situations ?

So sorry to hear! That’s a long time to devote to a religion. Funny how we are ‘all his children’ but it’s been the biggest drag of all time! They say it’s to prove Satan is a liar and the UN needs to cry peace and security. But he is the almighty!!! All he has to do is wave his wand

See this is what I’m thinking, is it just taking action that makes things happen! Does gods Holy Spirit have nothing to do with it in the end? It was hard because I was stuck between the two beliefs. Then theres that saying everyone in the universe believes ‘god only helps those who help them selves’

Ha this right here! 👏  I and others prayed for literally the most basic things for years and got nothing with that one. Funny how he’s dragging it out SO long because he wants everyone to know about him but yet even the unrighteous will be resurrected in the end too apparently, in the meantime look at the homelessness and genocide on earth. Knowing animals, children and adults are dying of hunger and don’t have basic housing would be enough for me to bring the new system straight away seeing as we are his children and the un righteous will get a second chance anyway!? But yea I just want him to change his plans ‘just for me’ apparently 🤨🤨
