a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.
the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.
Maybe this will be part of the, "do anything we tell you, even if it's crazy" request coming from the GB.
"Drive extra miles in life endangering circumstances as a show of you loyalty..."
( I thought they cancelled the home bookstudy meeting to save costs of fuel )
i'm quite surprised about the new approach of some local congregation brothers respect about my fade.... funny, ilegal and very dangerous in view of the different laws regarding personal data and minorities in spain and in the eu.... i already organized a press meeting with main newspapers in spain.
many has shown interest in this situation.
the fact of that a parallel judicial system do exist is amazing them.
So much for leaving the 99 and going after the one.
Wolves in sheep's clothing.
"Love amongst the brothers", MY ASS!!
Such a disgusting organisation.

Maybe they will begin to include a coupon in the bottom of the letter that you send back after checking the box marked 'DA' and signing below.
Sickening.

Here we go!
The Big Sell-Off
what's is the goal of this religion?.
i mean, if it's for money they could do a lot more like other religions do: tithing, paying for prayers from the gb, selling "miracles", selling "blessed" items, selling courses.. if its for power then what are they hoping to do with that power?
they dont seem to do anything.
I really like this topic!
I seem to remember the 'goal' was to survive Armageddon?
Generation after overlapping generation have come and gone since CT Russel told us that Armageddon was nigh...

I'm seeing the GB as the kid that just got off the merry-go-round and is very dizzy.

The Watchtower is in BIG legal trouble, so the goal is to some how stay afloat?
ok not to throw no shade or no disrespect to the jw religion.
which i truly do respect because my girlfriend is part of but i just don't understand, i have researched so much about it.
so much about how its discouraged for her to be with me just cause of different religion.
today is the day.. i was baptized as one of jehovah's witnesses on march 25th 1989.disfellowshipped for admitted apostasy today, september 10th 2015.. what an amazing story we all share.
how did we get involved with this group and think this was the best way of life?.
i asked my wife to stay home from the meeting tonight and spend the evening with me.she is.... we celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary this past monday.. i must admit, i never saw any of this coming, but it couldn't have come sooner.i'm free of all the fake friendships.
One year later:
First I want to say how much this exJW community means to me. The support is genuine and comforting.
My wife ( dub ) and I celebrated our 20th anniversary all this week.
I survived and so can ANY OF YOU that are still-in and need an out.
does anybody remember some of the sensational demon stories jw's would tell back in the day?
i was a kid in the early 80's and i remember a few times hearing of people having real life encounters with demons.
for example, one sister claimed that before she became a jdub she would regularly talk to demons and they would even fix stuff like her washing machine!
From the Live Forever book:
pg 96
RESISTING WICKED SPIRIT ATTACKS
17 What should you do if a “voice” from the spirit world speaks to you? What if the “voice” pretends to be a dead relative or a good spirit? Well, what did Jesus do when the “ruler of the demons” spoke to him? (Matthew 9:34) He said: “Go away, Satan!” (Matthew 4:10) You can do that too. Also, you can call on Jehovah for help. Pray out loud and use God’s name. Remember that he is more powerful than are wicked spirits. Follow this wise course. Do not listen to such voices from the spirit world. (Proverbs 18:10; James 4:7) This does not mean that everyone who hears “voices” is being spoken to by demons. At times the hearing of voices can be traced to certain physical or mental illnesses.
what do you think about these things.
it seems like a monumental waste of time and money, a pipe dream of the governing body based on wishful thinking.
this corporation is going down the tubes with these asshole deluded genius's calling the financial investment shot.. buying chemical dump property around the world to build their financial empire headquarters on while facing massive child molestation lawsuits now and many more in the future means it looking kind of bleak for these messed idiots running things.. http://jw-branchoffices.blogspot.com/p/watchtower-remote-translation-offices.html.
They're a real estate investment company disguised as a religion.
They're investing... What did we expect?
so my wife and i have been in the process of fading for a few months now as per my original post here.
about a week ago, i was browsing some ex-jw facebook groups when i saw a post that linked to the crisis of conscience book.
i said "f@(k it" and hit share on it.. a few hours later, i get a long text letter from my mom (who was a fb friend of mine) telling me the typical "good luck finding friends in the world" and how we have "nothing in common anymore"; basically, it was a 'farewell' text.
please record the meeting.
Sorry to hear you are going through this.
I would have DA'd if I had to do this over again.
Cut them off from this point onward if you can.
If you can manage completely ignoring them and walking away, I can't recommend it higher. This is your life and they are ruining it.
