Thanks for feedback. I have been going thorough this now for 2 years. Just doesn't seem like it is ever going to end. Funny thing last night watching action U.S show on tube, the episode was about a religious cult that was doing super wacky things like recruiting kids & indoctrinating them (ironic huh). So I then opened my mouth and said something like "It sucks when your in a religious cult huh" I can feel the glare for the next couple of hours of disdain!!

Like I said before I just don't know anymore

Friend tells me to just "suck it up, look over all of the BS and get into a place mentally where you can cope". But unfortunately that means going out in service or even commenting at meetings!$#@.

I CANNOT DO THAT!! I STILL HAVE TO LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR!!! Only thing I can barely cope with is just going to meetings. It is just a waste of time.

As someone that is pretty upbeat, this is really draining me. The guilt trip these people are putting me under is just sad.

Ever notice how JW's can attend a talk or Convention and remember nothing?

by Wasanelder Once in

how many times have you asked a jw who has attended a public talk how the talk was, only to be told it was so great!

yet they cannot remember the title nor any one single point except that the brother was "funny" or was good with illustratiions or some other vauge point?

and conventions weren't far off either.

NoMoreHustle

yeah it amazes me too! i ask spouse can you believe he just said that from from the platform? then she goes huh!! i don't remember that!

what an utter waist of time! i think i'd rather watch 700 club!#$@ NMH

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!

NoMoreHustle

thanx for everyones input. that is the one thing that i can't get over is that how can you just throw hands up and say "oh well, i know it is B.S but gotta keep moving forward" that kind of thinking is not in my DNA.

i am guilty of not being all the way out of organization once and for all, but i am not gonna cave in and participate like everything is OK.

bottom line is i can't fake it!!! my wife knows that there is something wrong, i am just hoping one day she really wants to know why i feel this way.

I on the other hand am not a doubter, I know with every living ounce of myself that this is a CULT! I explained to him hard time at home trying to make wife realize that this organization is Bull #$@! He has had similar situation at home too. But he has come to grips that he would rather have "peace at home" then constant fighting. I can understand that to a degree...

He then told me "what is the big deal" just going to meetings & participating also go out in service once in a while. This troubled me very much.

There is no way that I can just "give in" or "cave in" to this Bull @!#! It is hard enough having my wife indoctrinated by WT. I cannot pretend like everything is OK. I told him we only have one life to live & i'm not going to waste away in the WT Org. just going along with it.

Eventually I will be out of this organzation. I still go to about 2 meetings a month at this point in my life. I have checked out about 2 years ago. I have not gone out in field ministry for over a year now. I cannot go to someones door and tell them that the way they think is "wrong and come join ours instead because we are a happy people" NMH

The fanatics will insist that bible prophecy is being fulfilled "hated by the nations" also "put under ban" like they think is going to happen.

But the funny thing is that when this first surfaced about a possible ban in Russia a few months ago it was "the spirit of Jah that made the preaching work continue & our prayers being heard" They want in both ways, this BS is really getting annoying

I'm sure everyone will be coming out of the woodwork on this one claiming the "end is imminent"

Zone Visit feedback, from ones still in??

by Crazyguy in

just wondering if any one has heard from ones still asleep, what their feedback has been and what comments have been made by the rank and file??.

.

NoMoreHustle

yeah i was there. part of me wanted to go so i can see wife's reaction to all the BS. it was tiresome sitting there. then the "peanut gallery" was behind me & laughing & oozing over every word. truly sickening indeed.

wife basically brushed off anything negative from meeting. but there had to be some sort of dent in her armor, she even rolled her eyes a couple of times. really hope this will end soooon.....
