  Told My Parents Yesterday That I Don't Want to Be a JW

  by Saethydd in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i wasn't entirely sure what to expect when i made the decision to tell my parents how i really feel, but i was prepared for the worst, fortunately, it didn't come to that.

  after i told them i didn't want to go to the meetings anymore it led to a long talk with them.

  they made a number of irksome and woefully uninformed statements but at least they were not aggressive and have said that they won't force me to move out over this, though, i can tell they are hoping they can convince me to "accept the truth," as long as i still live with them.

  Good thing they were not aggressive. However, if you start acting all crazy, far out of sync with the way you have been brought up, prepare to receive an invitation and a date by which to vacate the premises.

  By far out I mean tattoos, crazy piercings, the grungy/disheveled/provocative clothing or bringing people around of shady character; or if you start disruption of peace of any kind in the home.

  Make your plans to become independent at some point. May the positive in the JW world stay with you for life. Be well.

  Have you ever wondered why the confession of sins is encouraged ?

  it's because we don't need a hierarchy structure without this guilt trip.

  Me, confess to mere imperfect mortals as myself? Hell NO!!!😝

  God can read minds and hearts, all knowing... No need for all that praying, confessing nonsense.

  washington — president trump asked the f.b.i.

  director, james b. comey, to shut down the federal investigation into mr. trump’s former national security adviser, michael t. flynn, in an oval office meeting in february, according to a memo mr. comey wrote shortly after the meeting.. “i hope you can let this go,” the president told mr. comey, according to the memo.. the existence of mr. trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the justice department and f.b.i.

  investigation into links between mr. trump’s associates and russia.. mr. comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after mr. flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo.

  The clown is running the Nation like a reality show. Check out Bill Maher stuff on him. It's hilarious and so very true.

  no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.

  instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

  The WTBTS is deceitful regarding its previous practices and dogma.

  Intelligent JWs are onto their crap and just continue to live their lives regardless. Take for example their silliness that JWs should arrive at hotels they are staying at fo the assembly in formal JW attire r that afterwards when going to dinner staying in JWish garb and clip of the Assembly as a walking billboard. The vast majority of us ignore that dogmatic bullshit. 💩

  There is an increasingly large number of us inside that can easily now identify their 'man-made' ideas elevated to 'Divine status'.🤔

  THEIR GIG IS UP!!!😠

  In the Spanish cong, we are big on bridal showers, weddings, wedding anniversaries, baby showers, graduations, a couple of times a year kids parties, and we do quite a bit of gatherings at our homes 'just because'.

  We have no shortage of partying at all in the Spanish side.😎

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  short info on interesting changes to the major conventions this year: there will be a new security concept that will be implemented at all regional conventions in 2017.. similar to other major events (e.g.

  festivals, concerts), there will be admittance controls in stadiums.. - at each entrance, there will be a massive presence of attendants that look at each visitor.. - there will be pocket checks at the entrance.. - suspicious persons are no longer left on the convention grounds.. - suppliers to the stadium will be intensively inspected by attendants.. - there will be a special sign for attendants that must enter the stadium before 7.30 am.

  all others (even all attendants) can only enter after 7.30 am..

  JWs keep their own alternative reality. Many are quite happy, law abiding people.

  Leave them alone as it could always be worse. If you don't believe it, check out the series 'Believer' with Reza Aslan on CNN (YouTube it).

  After checking out said series, no complaints having JW as a religion. Nope!
