  Since learning TTATT

  by Blackfalcon98 in

  2. experiences

  so, i was reading combating cult mind control....and i was just thinking: since i've been doing research and learning about the false doctrines of the wtbs and others who are still asleep.

  the more i accept that all is not right, the more i see the depression that many in the org.

  are going through, the more i see the "human" side of things, the more i compare the average uber dub to the average mainstream christian.....the more i recognize how this cannot be jah's organazation.

  Ever try to contact local "inactive publishers"?

  i'm just wondering if anyone has ever tried to contact inactive or disfellowshipped jws in their area.

  there are many faders in our area.

  there is also a large born-in family that had many leave who were labeled as apostates.

  I have also wondered about faders. I used to wonder why people just became inactive and only attended a few meetings a year......I never treated them any different but I always wondered. Now I wish I could connect with a few.

The more I accept that all is not right, the more I see the depression that many in the org. are going through, the more I see the "human" side of things, the more I compare the average uber dub to the average mainstream Christian.....the more I recognize how this cannot be Jah's organazation. Jehovah knows those who are his.....which eliminates the need for a singular organazation. As I learn more, my faith is growing. I truly do feel a personal relationship with God and Jesus.......one that I felt guilty about not having while still a believer. I feel extremely fortunate to be learning TTATT, to be a member of this forum, and to be still inside just enough to encourage others within to seek truth. (though cautiously). Inner peace and mental freedom > being a believing uber dub.

  So, are you thinking of coming back?

  that's a crazy question.. they really mean, "do you regret your decesion to leave".. ---.

  it's just an ice breaker to become nosy into one's personal life.. ---.

  btw, last time i was asked this, no, everytime i'm asked this i reply with: "i'm never coming back".. they seem to hear that.. .

  I guess ,depending on who asks this, I wouldn't dignify the inquirer with an answer. Jesus failed to reply to Pilate's question: he was aware that Pilate was already predisposed to a certain conclusion. Who asked this?

  I havent told them. I've managed to open my families eyes a little to the unchristian behavior but mostly my negative comments have gotten alot of cognitive dissonance.

  She does, kinda. I have been increasingly critical of the man-made rules. I have bragged about the benefits I experience from college, and have emphasized how 'priviledges' in the congregation are a poor measure of "spiritual maturity/progress". I have compared the insitance on being clean-shaven to the circumcision issue. Im convinced that Jah is not offended by the creation! I haven't underlined "studied" for any of the boasting sessions, and I have limited commenting (if the elders call on me) to the bible highlights or reading a scripture. Underlining answers in a magazine isn't studying! More than that, I've often caught my mother "studying" the WT without looking up the cited scriptures! Context is key, but the asleep just dont get it! I pray for them to wake up!
