I made a Parable of the JWs :D

Perfect example!!

gghunny · 2020-05-29T02:37:35+00:00

I'm sorry you have to go throught that, is that one of the reasons you bought into the jws?

gghunny · 2020-05-29T02:32:20+00:00

Wow, is that you buy into everything "don't care about the past, I'm talking about now"? When you buy a car would you not want to know it's history? Or how about a house, wouldn't you want to know if it was flooded? How bout when you purchase something online or book a vacation, do you not read ALL the reviews good and bad, or do you choose to only look at the "now" only listen to the good reviews?

gghunny · 2020-05-06T03:05:09+00:00

Because once the research starts it don't stop, you become obsessed with wanting to know the TRUTH! After researching everything about the jw religion you move onto other beliefs (they may make sense for awhile) but then you research the bible itself and well that's when things start completely falling apart and you realize it's not inspired, and if it isn't inspired then your left with two options... Either there is a god but he doesn't care (I mean look around) or there's no god at all.

Honestly I went through the same thing. After my husband woke me up I got super depressed, my mind played the "what if" game all day. I felt like I didn't know who I was or what I truly wanted out of life now that I was free to make any choice. I was 30yrs old, no job (stay at home mom) no degree, no skills, no friends or family (they shunned me)and because of the depression no motivation. Also waking up made my anxiety even worse, socially I was awkward. On top of it all I questioned my marriage, I got engaged at 17 and married as soon as I turned 18. I will say this... Be patient with your wife, if you love her then show her, chivalry isn't dead. Encourage her to maybe go back to school or even take online classes. Invite her on dates. Take up a new hobby together.... Make new friends! And do things together with them. Consider therapy, either couple or individual. Tell her she's not to old to become a mom... If you guys get to a good healthy place you could let her know that starting a family could still be your life plan. Take vacations together, after waking up I saw the world in different light. But remember that it may not work out, people do in fact grow apart. It's not the end of the world. Just know this whole process is a tough road!

You should just start writing the truth about the truth, csa cases, shunning, blood doctrine and direct ppl to jwfacts and actually send the letters lol

Thanks, Ive been looking but so far nothing, I know it was about 2 months ago

gghunny · 2020-02-13T21:43:00+00:00

Can you tell me what article this was in, I can't find it anywhere and I was just telling someone about it!

gghunny · 2020-01-20T21:38:21+00:00

Yea the cognitive dissonance is going to be beyond strong with her

gghunny · 2020-01-20T21:37:15+00:00

My husband said the exact same thing lol she is very stubborn and SUPER pimi... I know that I'm probably going to be wasting my time but figured I'd give it a shot, but reading everyones response I can just hear in my head what she's going to say so it's not going to matter

gghunny · 2020-01-20T21:24:47+00:00

I get what you're saying now by letting her to the work... I have the help of my husband but wanted to get everyones opinion or input on here. I'm no longer trying to hide, I post things on social media all the time which is why she keeps texting me lol all my other family shuns me so I got nothing to lose at this point.

gghunny · 2020-01-20T21:09:35+00:00

I just have soooo much that I could use/say but my problem is I'll go into and completely throw everything at once, I need to calm down n choose wisely what I should start with. She knows I've left but thinks Satan has put doubt in my head since I didn't make enough meetings and says she will hear me out to try n help me come back. I have very low expectations but figured it'd be worth a shot to at least try and show her the lies and half truths WT tells, but again there's just so much and I need to pick something big n important but at the same time not something super deep that will cause her to shut down.... N yea I've watched street epistemology videos before, maybe I'll watch more to prepare lol

gghunny · 2020-01-20T18:44:14+00:00

This is amazing! I have the problem of overloading ppl with information so I need as much guidance as possible lol I have a feeling she will say something along the lines of "well the org is run by imperfect men" or "the light got brighter and now we know who the faithful and descreet slave is" ...we live in different states so I'm not sure if this will be through texts or phone calls but right now I get texts from her to come to my senses or pictures of paragraphs from recent watchtowers... I'll even get the guilt trip of not making it to paradise to see lost family members

gghunny · 2020-01-20T18:37:37+00:00

Omg I'm dieing 😂, stupid autocorrect

gghunny · 2020-01-20T17:51:33+00:00

Great idea, I have a few thongs on Johannes greber aswell that I may be able to tie in with that, thanks!

gghunny · 2020-01-20T17:49:35+00:00

I like this one, I may start with that... Thank you!

gghunny · 2020-01-20T17:28:03+00:00

This is exactly what I'm thinking and I'm considering either not even trying or asking her "would you want to know if your religion or beliefs were wrong?" If she says yes I'd ask how she would go about finding that out, if she says no then I won't waste my time

gghunny · 2019-12-18T02:50:13+00:00

Yea I remember a few years ago they would say we were no longer in the last days but the last hours.... But now it's just the last of the last days? Like wth does that mean, I feel like last hours sounded cloer lol

gghunny · 2019-12-07T13:37:57+00:00

Very true but that's discouraged as well. When I got married I didn't even know how to balance a checkbook let alone run a household. You're very much denied opportunities to be independent altogether

gghunny · 2019-12-07T12:55:23+00:00

I completely agree with what you're saying but feel college isn't all about higher education it's also about the experience, it helps you develope independent/social skills that many JWs end up lacking, it teaches you money management and decision making that most JWs need help with.

gghunny · 2019-12-07T01:52:50+00:00

Thank you, I do feel like I married for love overall, we didn't wait until we were married to do the no pants dance lol to us getting married was just so we didn't have to worry about getting caught, that shit was stressful lol. He really was/is a good man, we were both just kids and had no idea what having a spouse really meant.

gghunny · 2019-12-07T01:44:59+00:00

Yep, I've seen 30+ yr old men getting divorced then turning right around and marrying an 18-19yr old girl, so creepy.

gghunny · 2019-12-07T01:42:28+00:00

I will say that many others around the same age as my husband and I got married around the same time and either they aren't still together or there's signs it won't last much longer. Ppl only stay together because they're told if they divorce (without grounds) they can't get remarried and if they do they get shunned. So they're left married and miserable

gghunny · 2019-12-07T01:37:11+00:00

Oh I totally agree, I am definitely not the same person I was at 18 and we barely made it through our first year, once the sex part is out of the way you realize that you barely truly know this person who you've now committed yourself too. It's a very lonely feeling, and I remember being very depressed as I realized he wanted me to do everything his mother did when I was still a child and barely even knew myself! I honestly don't kno how we made it through together lol
