in november i was disfellowshipped for apostasy or in other words, because i live by my conscience and not according to the unloving rules of a human organisation.
details of my story and the judicial committee you find in my older threads.. i am lucky, as the relationship to my parents is the same as before.
now my mother told me what one elder (cobe of the congregation of my ex wife) told one sister.. he met her on the street and talked about my disfellowshipping.
seems to be quite a few posters recently pulling down the beliefs of jw's as not biblical or truly christian.
maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong, i really don't care.. in some important ways though mainstream christians often behave better than jehovah's witnesses; most don't practice shunning or impose lethal medical prohibitions on their members.
many are far more tolerant of the lgbt community and a few even make the awkward attempt to square the fact of evolution with their faith.. please note that i'm saying some, not all.. so i suppose it's fair to say that differing forms of christianity can be better or worse for individuals, families and the wider community.
Why would you even rank Jehovah Witnesses has a religion at all?
it's business, it's a captive cult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't group this tripe with anything spiritual.
when i think about where i am at now in my life, in my marriage, with my kids.
why did i get involved with this cult?
i have brought out the cult personality in my wife and there no turning her back.
hi cappytan, my kids are 17 and 12...they both hate going to the meeting and know it b..s.
it won't be long before our older son says no more.

Why? Why did i get involved with this cult?
i mean this with all due respect, i would like to hear from genuine people who think jw have it wrong and then what is the truth?.
im not talking about silly little quibbles here and there.. is jehovah real?
the the bible is word?
the majority of members who tend to join this forum have been hurt possibly even traumatized sometimes to the point of wanting to end their lives.
upon joining the forum, new members are welcomed with open arms, welcome messages start pouring in, "likes" are freely given, a false sense of security is promoted where a member is free to speak his mind without having to worry about the wt gestapo.
again, similar to how potential converts are welcomed and "love bombed" upon entering a kh for the first time.
a few years after i quit the meetings my mum needed her medical directive signed and witnessed and she asked if i'd do it.
i was surprised to say the least!.
i think she was just angling to include me and maybe find some lever to get me involved again.
My wife knows how i feel about the blood bullshit. she has told me that she will not take blood, not even a fraction.
she would rather die, guess what....if that what she wants, then let her die for the Borg and leave her husband and kids. sorry simon for cussing. BUT, SCREW HER!!!!!!!!! BRAINWASHED IDIOT!!!!!!
