Welcome SirNose
I totally agree with you lists of things you found to be totally hypocritical with the WTBS.
Nothing wrong with venting...that's what this board is for....you will find like-minds here.
Venting is very important in your healing process......in the WTBS we are not allowed to vent at all (which also proves it is a cult from that standpoint alone)
Keep posting and reading.....

Divorce came through
by cyberdyne systems 101 intime for reflection i guess, i had thought i was further along in the healing process, but sometimes i seem to slip right back to where it all started.
though i will never go back, i can see why people cling to something like the witness.
they want to think they are doing something worth while, have some order and purpose in their lives, have a pool of people that can befriend.

"Life is difficult"... a quote from the book: The Road Less Travelled (great book....I would encourage everyone to read).
I got divorced 8 years ago and can totally relate to your post. Being divorced and starting life over without your life partner is a severe shock to your system.
But now you are divorced from the WTBS. You are dealing with 2 divorces.
I went thru the 2nd divorce about 3 years ago, when I realized the WTBS was hypocritical.
So I understand the double whammy. Yes, many do not leave the WTBS because it is a struggle to start over with new friends.
Posting here has been very therapeutic for me. I realize there are many here that feel likewise.
I was also able to meet some posters in person, which I feel is very valuable in healing. (speaking for myself that is...not all need that) Are you able to meet any posters in your area?
Be kind to yourself and allow as "much time as you need" to heal. You can't set a time limit on healing. It is an individual process. However, if you are stuck in one of the processes of healing, it might be time to seek professional counseling from a person experienced not only in exiting a cult but in divorce.

Welcome
I wouldn't meet with the elders. You haven't been at a meeting in 3 years....you have a conscience and don't need a group of men judging you...only God can do that.
Hope you enjoy this board. It is very therapeutic.

Do You REALLY Believe That A Pedophile Issue Will Bring Down The Watchtower
by minimus ini see the excitement and thrill when a jw gets nailed for pedophilia.
i'm happy when any of these creeps get caught.
but i just don't think that this is what will bring down the organization.

Probably NOT...
But, ones that believe in the statement: "pure worship"....will have nagging doubts as to whether this religion really is pure and represents Jehovah.
That's what the May 2002 Dateline did for me. For many years the WTBS made a huge point in talking about the Catholics and their pedophile/molestation problem and how that was evidence they were part of Babylon the Great.
Well....after seeing the last 10 minutes of that May 2002 Dateline about the pedophile problem in the WTBS.....I had HUGE doubts that the religion I thought was pure and spirit directed was any of those things. IN FACT....I only went in the door to door one more time because I couldn't tell people in good faith that we have "pure worship" when we had the same problems as the Catholics.

Cano Is The Tip Of the Iceberg
by metatron inis the watchtower organization filled with child molesters?
maybe not - but the cano incident should make us think about an allied problem,.
namely, general corruption and rot.. many years ago, it was not unknown to find strange photos and other materials in a bethel brother's room, after he died unexpectedly.. that doesn't prove that there is a massive problem with child molestation.

I agree about Cano being the tip of the iceberg.........
I also agree with LDH.....Jehovah's Witnesses are to represent Jehovah........IF they have pedophiles.....that says the religion is full of hypocrites all the way to it's leaders...
