for decades, i slaved for wts, mentally, emotionally, financially, familially, socially, educationally.. at times, when i was the only one caring for the maintenance needs of the local kh, and being discouraged at the "sacrifices" being contributed to the borg, my spouse would say: "jehovah sees what you are doing.".
and yet, later, my spouse turned on me, turning instead to "jehovah's elders" and totally threw me under the bus.. paul, allegedly, said in hebrews: "for god is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name.".
i feel nothing of the sort.. does anyone feel similarly?.
Yes, but you must remember to these people:
God = The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses
The moment you abandon the GB, the moment you abandoned God....not to mention the reality is their god, is a tyrannical group of men.....of course they forgot your works as soon as you finished them!
Definitely a Cult.

well, it's been a long while since i last visited here.
i've been doing this and that...you know....lugubrious life and all.. i am interested in collating views from all types of people about jws, albeit non jws, ex jws....anyone associated with jws who wants to share their viewpoint.
later on i'd like to self publish these collected interviews but cannot offer any money as the project is more about giving people an opportunity to speak, help, whatever, rather than make a best seller.
so there's an indoctrination session tomorrow......any tips for getting through with my sanity intact?

at work today a colleague was telling me how his church had purchased a van for the sole purpose of caring for their youth.
he was saying every friday / saturday night the church organizes some event for its youth outside it's church services.
they also have other services to that are provided free of charge for its members.
i've just signed up two days ago, but i've been lurking for about a year and a half.
here's my story if you're interested:.
my parents converted when they were in their first semester of college.
this week has been the week when my whole way of thinking shifted.
i still cannot believe how this can happen so fast.
over a period of seven days i went from not even imagining that i could ever not be a witness to wanting to get out of this organisation.. .
Welcome to the forum, welcome to your freedom! My awakening was very quick as well, but you must remember to not go full-blown apostate on your relatives just yet.....especially if you must remain in for family reasons. It is also very helpful to do some research on the works of Steven Hassan: (Combating Cult Mind Control and Freedom of Mind), check out his website, and continue to educate yourself. Most importantly, don't for one moment allow yourself to feel any guilt over your new discoveries.....this is a tactic used by the org. to control people, when you get over the guilt...you have broken free.
Best Wishes, BF98
