Friend Told Me To "Get Over My Doubts & Keep Going Like Everything Is OK!!

by NoMoreHustle in

had a coversation with a very close friend (of 15 years) and understands how i feel about the wt org.

he himself is a serious doubter.

i on the other hand am not a doubter, i know with every living ounce of myself that this is a cult!

I reasoned in my mind that there would be no point to continue in service, inviting people to the meetings I wouldn't be attending.

Parting thoughts, I guess...

Reverse Disfellowshipping

by ctrwtf in

i'm into the 7th year of a successful fade.

when i'm at the market i still see some of my former "friends" trying to avoid eye contact.

although i'm not df'd i may as well be in their eyes.

I may have to resort to this tactic as well.

I have some relatives that are all bent out of shape, even to the point of no longer willing to visit me unless I assure them I won't be awkward.

They require me to censor myself in my own home to accomodate their twisted "consciences".

I'm getting to the point where I don't need any of them.

They want to demonize me and I won't have any of it.

Family Gathering ( or the day also known as Thanksgiving)

every year on a certain thursday in november my family and close witness friends would get together, eat menudo ( hispanic stew) and other foods, watch football and then get dressed to go to the meeting.. sister so and so would bring her famous pie, bro and sister so and so would bring their gross punch and bro and sis so and so would bring mexican sweet bread.

sometimes we would go to "worldy" aunt's and pick up plates of turkey and fixins.. this was every year on a certain date, on a certain thursday in november.. this continued until my mom got alzheimers.

by that time i was married and had my own house.

I've experineced "JW Thanksgiving" on the Friday after. ( then it's OK )

Same everything, just 24 hours later, so it's not wrong...

We were on a family trip one time. About ten of us at a coastal rental house.

We brought everything to make a traditional turkey dinner.

It was the week of Thanksgiving and we were going to make the dinner on Thursday.

My Uber Dub ( Ex bethelite/elder ) nephew started to freak out, as if we were preparing to do devil worship.

We agreed to make it on Friday. Problem solved.

Feeling sad over a wasted life in watchtower

it's been 12 years since i first read ray franz's books and the scales came off my eyes.

by that time i was in my forties.. since 2002 i went back to school and have worked with 3 very professional organizations.

but my biological clock is ticking away and while my peers are looking forward to retirement, i am only beginning.

Out for nearly 2 years, but 25 years was lost.

It stings. I can't explain how I fell for the deception.
It's all so clear now. I thought I was smarter than that.

Mind control is powerful.

Also starting over in my mid 40's.

50 seems so close.

Focus on living a happy life and be there for those that need help.

Rumor: New light comes from outside marketing consultants

by Londo111 in

this is a rumor i heard back in november, it comes to me third or fourth-hand.

feel free to poke holes.

i have many doubts about this myself.

When Tony Morris said: "take it up with God!" in his tight pants talk, he was likely preparing JW's to accept anything.
I mean really, who want's to "take anything up with God?"

What a disaster...
