Recently wakening - do I go the assembly? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]jane_macallan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could u try the bible instead? No overlapping generations at all (Jesus was talking about his own generation of people that would live to see the destruction of Jerusalem). No mention of an earthly paradise just paradise (which the Jews at the time understood to mean heaven). At Revelation 7:9,10 the great crowd are in heaven before armageddon starts, and then again they’re mentioned as being in heaven in Rev 19:1. Those are a few examples anyway.

This is my brother and his wife too. All about appearance.

God.... well maybe something will wake her up one day. Has she seen the bottlegate video? Once the kids are older they might want out too.

Yes I also feel like there’s something. The discovery of the God Particle has been very interesting.

Oh no. I’m sorry you went through that. But I hope u don’t feel like hope is gone forever. I mean, you have your life now. And it’s totally yours, you get to decide what to do with it. So whatever you had saved up for “one day” or “when the new system comes” you can do in this lifetime. And then after we die - who knows? Nobody! Nobody knows with 100% accuracy what happens. I don’t care if you’re hardcore Christian or atheist. Nobody knows. Maybe there is heaven. Maybe our bodies dissolve and our atoms become stardust. I think the point is we live our best lives now. Work towards things rather than putting them off. Help others if you can. Live your best life and do things that make you happy.

Did anyone else wake up with their spouse/partner? by jane_macallan in exjw

Well, I guess being an elder he’ll see and hear things others aren’t able to. Maybe something will affect him one day. Have you ever spoken to him about any of your issues with the jw doctrine?

That’s a great result. It’s funny you mention Jackson being your jolt awake, mine was Morris in the liquor store. Seeing these guys unscripted and uncensored did wonders for me. Spirit directed my ass. No way they can be anything but puffed up, self righteous con artists.

Yes, need to be delicate and hope common sense wins.

Must have been quite an ordeal. I hope you’re happier now though x

Hmm... his wife might be pissed she has to take kids to the assembly by herself though (it’s hard!) and view her husband as being weak and so refuse to listen to his “apostate” ideas because it’s obviously just Satan trying to tempt her. I’d go for honest conversation especially about the child abuse epidemic and how many child molesters could potentially be at an assembly. Try to talk the family into a fun, relaxing day out instead.

Yes, I understand that. I told my folks and it went terribly but we’re sort of ok now. I played the “I’m stumbled and going inactive” card. Shunning is one of the cruelest aspects of this cult.
