  my 25 year anniversary of life after the WTS

  by jookbeard in

  2. experiences

  its been a hell of a journey and not one i regret, i've had my testimony featured in free minds, married divorced, married again had 2 children, survived a very serious illness and come out just about unscathed.

  it all started sometime in the early 1990's around the time of the waco siege, i just couldn't accept these crazy doctrines anymore of the belief system i was born into, the death and destruction of billions, the big a, the restoring of the earth to a paradise and the even bigger lie of a resurrection of billions, come early 1993 i had decided to fade, i attended the memorial of that year and decided never ever to return and i never did, come 1994 i had really hit rock bottom, divorced the following year, moved away,started a new career, a new life, the rest they say is history, anyone reading this and having similar thoughts, go for it!

  you wont regret it..

  In 1971. When they brought in the elder arrangement?

  
  

  yes--in fact the day i went to discuss it with the congregation servant--as it was known as then--h thanked me for letting him know---as he was in the process of compiling a list of recommendations for elders---and i was on it !!

  so much for holy spirit. i was 23 years old--a former regular pioneer and mags / territory servant. i was due to give the public talk that afternoon..how could i be an elder jw--when i didnt believe in god--or any of the watchtower promises and predictions

  Did You Go To Meetings in Very Inclement Weather?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  living in new england means having lots of snow and cold.

  elders were very reluctant to cancel or reschedule a meeting due to the weather.

  i lived 3 towns away from the kingdom hall and if it was icy and treacherous my vote would always be to cancel the meeting....and forget about rescheduling!.
