This is why I got out. I felt so guilty I broke. I got the point where I said, God if you're going to kill me just do it. Otherwise, shut the f*ck up.

I'm still alive. And I don't waste my time with guilt anymore.

what does LMAO mean?

anyway, like someone said...they set you up to fail.

now just think about it.......how can you study for the 5 meetings per week, read all those hundreds of scriptures, questions and underline the paragraphs and prepare a comment, do your personal study, read your bible every day, do the daily text every day, prepare and keep up with the new presentations for the WT & AK mags, get your talks out, go in service Saturday morning, go on return visits, try to get a bible study and help the people change their lives, get up 5 a.m. to travel far to the special day, circuit assemblies and district conventions, then, how about when they sometimes decide to have a special guest speaker on a Saturday afternoon and if you don't show up, well that means you're just not spiritual..... and lets not forget to go serve where the need is great instead of taking vacation. and if you do go on vacation, make sure you preach then too. as a matter of fact preach every chance you get, when you go food shopping, clothes shopping at the mall, on every occasion possible preach, preach, preach. Its insane. then on top of allll that, hold down a full time job, contribute your money to all those contribution boxes, clean your house, your car, clean the KH, build KH's and the list goes on. LOL and if you don't do all of this.....well then you're just a BAD BAD GOOD FOR NOTHING SLAVE!!

It's wonderful. I remember when I escaped the tower in 83, I read a book called your erroneous zones that helped me correct all my guilty and faulty thinking. It's by Dr. Wayne Dyer.

Minimus,

You hit the nail on the head. My wife feels guilty about everything. If she does not go to

the Watchtower Study or the Book Study due to sickness, she has to go over all of the information

again by herself so she won't feel so guilty for missing the meeting. There are certain acitivities

that husbands and wifes should enjoy together in the privacy of their bedroom, but she won't because she

feels guilty due to an article in the Watchtower. One of JW's stongest emotions is guilt.

They tried that card on me about pioneering. What I did was tell them that now that they put so much pressure on me to do it, I would be better off not doing it. With all that pressure, it would not be voluntary, and I was under the impression that, unless it was voluntary, it did not count. So, I just refused to do it.

Now, I do "bad" things just to pxxx them off. Masturbation, porn--what's the big deal? I listen to rap music, that glorifies drugs and serves as ads for drug dealers, and think nothing of it (and still I haven't started smoking weed--maybe they were wrong about the influence of that music on me). I put up Christmas decorations, including more than two dozen crosses and angels (that they call demons). I bought a Ouija board in 2006 instead of going to the Crapmorial. I joined apostate web sites, and hit them on purpose. And I haven't been out in field circus since 2005.

Great post Min.

Remember, all of us should pray to Jehovah and tell him why we can't change our circumstances to regular pioneer.

I left because of the GUILT. I still thought it was the truth but I felt guilty about some things I was doing. I didn't want to be a hypocrite and I just couldn't live up to the rules so I just said the heck with it and decided to live life and if I was going to die at Armageddon so be it. I thought I don't want to live in a world forever if I am always having to be afraid I am doing something wrong.

I was married to a man who was not a JW, he was patient with me and went along with things as best. But the temptation of oral sex was more than I could resist. Sorry guys I hope thats not to much information but that was the main guilt thing that bothered me. I wasn't about to do it and then go confess. Anyway I look back at it now and think how stupid could I have been to let them control my life and make me feel guilty for normal things.

You are only male human.

Why did you think God gave men two eyes and one willy?

So they can only do one at a time.
