  i left the organization in 2017.. was in several congregations in the north west of england.

  i just wanted to say thank you to all of you that have posted on here over the years, it really helped me to see the truth about the organization.

  i lurked here for many years under an anonymous login and then finally plucked up the courage to write my disassociation letter.. adam.

  Who Directs the Activitie$ and Doctrines of the Hovering Body?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah’s witnesses boast that theirs is a “spirit-directed organization”.. see w88 3/1 pp.

  10-17 (my life in jehovah’s spirit-directed organization).

  they believe that their deceased founder, charles taze russell (who faced legal action by his wife for inappropriate behavior in his maids bedroom), is directing the modern-day work of jehovah’s witnesses.. after the founder, c t russell died, it was stated that he was still directing the work from heaven.. "though pastor russell has passed beyond the veil, he is still managing every feature of the harvest work.

  Discouraging JWs From Calling

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was reading an anti cult reddit post where a woman (ex mormon) was trying her hardest to discourage the mormons from visiting her and trying to convert her back.

  a few others chimed in about their various methods (coming to the door naked, pretending to be practicing black magic, etc.

  ) which they claimed would have the mormons and jws running away as fast as possible.. somehow, i doubt it.

  😳 How did you and your offsider react to that? Did you say something like: "I can see you're busy with other things. We'll call back another time"

  i held out the magazines--he looked at them, swore and slammed the door in my face. Strange that.

  if they are youngsters i just say i'm not interested and say bye. Older ones i sometimes chat to--and let slip i used to be a JW--and see if they bite.

  Memories of Excessive Laughter

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw's are not known for laughter.

  there are the rare exceptions.

  they are more known for their fear mongering and doomsday scenarios where "the dead shall come to be as manure on the surface of the ground from one end of the earth clear to the other".

  i remember in the final congregation i was in--during the early 70, there was one brother--married with 2 young kids. He refrained from working, having a selection of illnesses peculiar to jehovahs witnesses.

  He sat in the audience--with an idiot grin in his face--and would burst in to laughter at anything the speaker said. He was a fine JW.

  gossip

  by Nancy1919 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was once was told by an jw elder it was a rule not to gossip or swear as it could harm someone, but i guess the new light allows this.

  it was bad enough when they were calling people worldly now i heard a jw gossiping about someone and it was mean.just another reason i would never go back.

  Fashion in Heaven

  by peacefulpete in

  1. social
  2. humour

  why is it that fashions are assumed to have stayed the same in heaven for thousands of years?

  you'd think that after wearing the same boring robe for eternity you'd crave something different.

  yet no, angels and god are still wearing the same white onesie they had when they vacationed on earth with abraham.
