Confusing

by five_crew in

do any of you ever have this problem.

people find out that you used to have an affiliation with the jw organization and they think that you should be able to answer all of their questions.

both biblical and what they feel the organization is doing wrong.

It may be a little different but I've encountered people who just dont understand the policies and rules of the jw org. They are blown away when I tell them how strict things are and also about the dfing policy. Thats what Ive encountered at work to those few who I have told.

Hi, I'm Kibi!

by kibizzle in

i just found this sight today and have not had time to read very many posts, but i can relate to some of the ones i have read thus far.

i have been a jw for only 2yrs.

but have had doubts for about 6mo.

Kibi,

I so know what you mean...My wife and I have been inactive for about a month but still she is skeptical to what I show her. Keep on there, its very fulfilling to see the real truth about this org. I have hope that both our spouses will join us soon. Hang in there, and thanks for sharing your great story!

My Story

by five_crew in

this is my story.

it is my first time telling my story and a little intimidating.

when i was 8 my adoptive family became jw's.

Thanks for sharing that wonderful stories. It really encourages us new ones that definitely the right decision is to seperate ourselves from this unkind and unloving org. Thanks again and good luck to ya!

P.S. Look forward to more posts from you.

Hi, I'm new here!

by SWALKER in

i just thought i'd like to start posting as i've been visiting this site for some time.

it's hard to believe that i'm actually doing this seeing how i am a 4th generation jw.

my great grandfather was a contemporary of russell and my grandfather was on the board of directors of the society.

Ok, Question: Was there a comment made at a meeting that finally convinced.

was there a comment made at a meeting that finally convinced you, this is not right?

for me a couple of weeks ago was in the service meeting, they stated that if the children didnt finish their homework because they were studying the bible or at a meeting that teachers should understand that their meetings and study are more important.

i looked at my wife and went "what"??

Very interesting thread here, thanks to all who have contributed...

OMG! I just cant believe the things they say up there. And 4JWY that was during a prayer?? How can they continue to think God listens to them?
