35Saddest thing about being DFd
by kairos ini always enjoyed being kind.
when someone genuinely needed a hand or what not, it felt good to help family or friends.. i don't really miss them anymore.
i faded over two years ago, so they long ago shunned me.i think about them less and less and have even forgotten some names.i did enjoy some of the friendships and the association.

"The reality is that you don't even need to be disfellowshipped to be shunned.
Pure gossip and innuendo spread slyly through the congregation members is enough to make them act like we are the devil himself..."
Yes...we are experiencing that. They "mark" you! They may not know any facts but just listen to others gossip. You really don't know how deep this goes until you feel it yourself. It's a real eye opener. As much as it hurts, it is well worth the freedom we feel. Free at last!!!!
I read an article written by Oprah regarding gossip . She stated that gossip is an assassination attempt by cowards (insecure people). She's right...cowards!

I don't think you will find anyone saying favorable things on this site. So many have been abused and hurt.
We know more JW's (family included) that are on anti depressants and swallow the pills with alcohol. If it is such a positive experience being part of the most loving organization, why are so many taking meds? I never drank as much alcohol as when I was a JW. Something just wasn't right about the cult disguised as a religion.
It's a cult.

Hi John.
I was born in JW. Man, do I ever with I was not born into this.
My family and I exited the cult 3 years ago. Best decision we EVER made.
Once they are done "loving you", they will eat you up and spit you out. The most abusive experience of my entire life.
Anyone contemplating becoming a JW....RUN LIKE HELL!!!!

Too Much Discontent in the Congregation Part 3
by Simon Templar innow, 80-85 years later, we are still here.
if i was to do the counsel with a brother who had this much experience, i would have just thanked him for doing the talk, and marked him good on the point.
this is a good way to get money though.

The GB is worried. Very worried! They have done it to themselves. Listen again to the 2014 Zone Mtg. Anthony Morris III talk. This has made more people then we know doubt. -

They are getting everyone ready to watch everything via video. It's the 700 club!
Wow...this would be a great way to fade and still maintain all of your friendships and family. You can sit around in your jammies and drink your booze while watching. Who's gonna know. A WONDERFUL JW tool, in my opinion.
Hey GB....don't forget to put the big DONATE BUTTON on the screen!
