Royal Commission taking our emails to heart

by wannaexit in

during the proceedings of australian royal commission, as many of you, i also took time to share with the office of mr stewart, my thoughts and perspective on what what being said and not said by the witness elders on the stand.

within a day a received a reply from office of angus stewart thanking and appreciating the insight from those on the "inside".

yesterday i received a further email that my correspondence was passed on to case study 29 (jehovah's witnesses) team for their consideration.. it sounds like they are taking all our collective experience and knowledge into account as the commission continues its work..

What is so amazing about this is, almost all of us on this site (other sites as well) do not feel like our feelings and thoughts are taken into consideration. We feel as if we have no voice. I think the RC made so many feel as if someone was listening to them. FINALLY...someone was listening! We received an email in response to something we sent to Mr. Stewart. It was truly shocking to have someone actually acknowledge us. WOW! The JW's NEVER respond, they only interrogate.

Thank you Mr. Stewart and the RC. This really means so much to so many.

Pioneering

by Sabin in

i`ve heard many pioneers claim that they are deserving of material things because they are the ones who make all the sacrifices.

one claimed that jehovah had made sure that she got absolutely everything she wanted right down to shelfs so she could put up pic`s of her family because, to quote "we are so deserving, we`ve made the sacrifice".

mind you this is the same sister who told me "it`s harder for me having my son d.fs than for a mother loosing her child in death".

We are proud to say that we have worked EXTREMELY hard for EVERYTHING we have in life. Nothing is given to us. If there is a God, I hope he has a wonderful "test" in store for these people!

I think most are narcissists that couldn't handle a pimple on their face. It's ALL about them! This has become a competitive/sad cult disguised as a religion. This woman is an idiot. She can see her son again (if she chooses). A mother who looses a child to death can not. Shame on her for comparing the two situations. She doesn't have a clue what it is like to loose a child in death.

"That means Blood fractions are ok-Right?"

Only if the WT attorneys say it's ok! The light just keeps getting brighter!

Uh-oh, the elders want to pay us a visit!!

by BeautifulMind in

so, hubby gets contacted today by one of the elders saying 2 of them want to pay us a visit and asks him when we are available.

we both had the heart drop feeling for a few minutes lol.

but he promptly, and politely, informed them that we are very busy but he will let them know when we are free.

ToesUp

Tell them that you are having financial problems or need some help with some heavy duty project around your home. You will never hear from them again!

Great response on your part. You owe them NOTHING!

Getting the Urge!

by Theburstbubble in

friends

evening folks, so as some of you may know we have recently decided to leave the witnesses and can see it for the man made organisation it is.

so, why do i get the urge to go back and feel guilty for not being there!

it's like my mind is telling me to be logical about it all but then something keeps pulling me back.. don't get me wrong i really want to break free from it all and i'm resisting the urge to go back as i have been miserable in the truth for a long time as i've known it's not right and want to do the best by my daughter.

ToesUp

I am sorry, I never had the urge to return. I don't miss it a bit but everyone is different.

JW Threatened me with Violence Today :)

by cofty in

i popped into the supermarket for a few things after work today and found myself walking up an aisle alongside a couple who used to be in my tuesday group.

i see them reasonably often and always say hello much to their obvious annoyance.

i noticed that ian was sporting a shaggy beard.

ToesUp

Looks like Ian needs to review the fruitages of the spirit before he goes a shunning. Tisk tisk! lol
