why does no one ask questions ?

by midnight in

i always felt bad for asking questions , did anyone else ?

what question did you ask or want to ask but feel it was wrong ?

mine was regarding the circuit assembly and the amount defecit anounced .. also 1975 i got a stern reply too when i was studying in the 90,s.

If you've ever seen the film Midnight Express you will see the expression "Bad Machine"

For me it was always like that. You can always ask questions..............BUT. Make sure they're the "right" GOOD Machine questions. Like how can I do more to help the wonderful GB & our dear organisation?

NOT. How can this or that be true? That will flag up big time & you will be labeled a bad machine & you can kiss your hassle free life away. Big time. They will tune in on your ass & you are in kind polite trouble but trouble all the same. They will want to "help you out"

Jehovah is sifting out all the spiritually weak, leaving only the truly righteous.

Sorry spotetta but Jehovah ain't doing shit as he is a figment pummelled into people minds by the mind controlling power hungry freaks at the top. It's the genuine Pubs that are tied up in all this deception.

Sorry if I miss read your comment but in my opinion theres no sifting from Jehovah going on.

One trait found with "Spiritually week" publishers is, they spend less time propagating the Borg, take more time from the Elders so they can be "Re Adjusted" into good machines again & pay up there dues + they don't pay up as much money as the fully indoctrinated.

Just my thoughts only, no more. Wife still in but more wised up & daughter starting to bulk as my eldest did & she escaped now, good & proper & enjoying the freedom.

Ryde Ise Of Wight hall just sold.

This building was one of the very early Quick Builds in 84 & it was financed completely by the Ryde Cong. I was there volunteering my skills for the 2 days of the build + all the weeks of prep work & then all the snagging afterwards.

All the free work, Funding from the local Congs & now ALL that money is going to be needed to pay for all the pedophile awards past, Present & without doubt future. The Borg are needing to fleece all the Congs that have 100% payed for the land building & maintenance of very valuable real estate.

Just my thoughts, sorry if they have already been said. I don't post much.

Mass JW exodus

by stockholm_Syndrome in

maybe there will be a mass exodus from jws when thinking people read feb 2017 watchtower telling them the governing body stuff up, shouldnt expect correct/ perfect information and basically make up guff as they see fit.....ya reckon?.

With my situation I've seen that some people need a community like a religion & this one dose tend to sute some people. I was trapped (one persons trapped can be another persons protected) in it from 0 to 13 & then from 20 to 42. I'm now out 10 years & I feel free from the control. My wife has been totally "in" for all her 50 years.

When I finally got out I wanted nothing more than for her to leave with me but the facts are "she wants in". She needs the religion, it dose something for her & I know that she knows it's far from perfect (I see it as a big bag of shite) but for her she would rather have that than what she feels would be nothing. For me, If she is happy with her choice then good. She supports me with my choice to not be under there control so who's to say it's wrong for them just because it's wrong for us. For me the thing that this should be about is the not being allowed to go with your heart without dire consequences. If this statement could show people that we all should have true freedom to believe or change your mind just like the org seem to be admitting here. just my take. Phat's.

What's The First "Worldly" Thing You Did When You Exited The Cult?

by pale.emperor in

when you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.

for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.

i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.

phats

First thing I did was go out & by a big bag of weed. It took me a week of non stop smoking to get through it.

Still coughing after 10 years hah! & just stopped eating.

I don't like the person i am becoming...

by SpunkedTeen in

i have not been active here lately just lurking mostly but i have no one to talk to and i need some help i guess.i started working out and became friends with my personal trainer(we went to school together).i started going out with him(lying to my mother about what i was doing,another thing to add to the list of lies,it's becoming too easy!

) and i notice i'm slowly becoming the worldy people that the jw's described.i've become very selfish and rude and very apathetic towards everything and everyone.i always thought the values that jw's taught were really good.if i cut ties with the only friend i have now , i would probably slip into a deep depression and i that is something that i want to avoid at all costs.i start university in january and my plan was to stick it out in the organisation until i got my degree and became fully independant but as of late a elder told me i am being considered to become a m.s and told me what i need to work on and since then the other elders have been nagging me to work on the same things.i'm trying to rid my self of my 'priveleges' in the cong but nothings working...if anyone has experienced a similar situation what advice would you give?

, oh and my mom was always super into the religion having been a pioneer and bethel worker for years but we went to the regional convention two weeks ago and now she is even more exasperating (for example a sister asked my why i was 19 years old and not a ms or serving at bethel yet, which is fine i've learnt how to deal with these questions but when i told my mother whom has always been content with me just being in the religion and never pushed me towards anything asked me if i was happy with what i was and if i would not be happier at bethel or regular pioneering.

Hah! That's just about what everyone I've ever know in the religion to be. Ether that or a total Busy body powermunger.
