  What first gave you doubts ?

  we all know the big problems with the wts, but what was the first thing that made you realise there were problems with the organisation ?

  with me it was realitivly small stuff like an 8 year old getting baptised and a comment my best mates made about another of our friends asking if we should be hanging round with her as she might be bad assciation (she had just been reproved, but they had been mates 20 years).. .

  how ever the first time i ever thought something was really wrong was when i was about 11 and my grand farther died, and mu mum wouldn't go to the funeral, i remeber thinking that surely it was better to say good bye properly than worry about if the service was in a church.. .

  Although I hadn't particularly been strong for a while, my exit form the borg was swift, and came as a shock to me.

  I still felt it was the truth, although hated many of the mind controlling facets of it. But then being brought up a JW, I was already conditioned to accept this because we were imperfect, therefore needed our minds cleansing. I was always of the impression that someday, when I was ready, I'd go back - Jehovah could read my heart couldn't he - therefore surely wouldn't bring Armageddon before I was back in - and I wasn't going back till I was ready to serve God as the JW's taught me I should serve him!

  Slowly, I started to question more and more the treatment I received, and some of the things I saw these whiter than white witnesses doing. Then, LT contacted me. We had a laugh about old times, a moan about the org etc. This was it - it was time to start making efforts to go back in. An elder whom I respected and loved as my own brother had contacted me - God want's me back in!! I asked him if he could study with me over the net - to which he replied Yes, but questioned my reasonings for doing so. After a discussion and some heartfelt emails, he signed one off as "Please don't do it for me, as I won't be there"

  He then sent me the link re the WBTS and UN affiliation.

  That's when I questioned things more deeply, and took the time for some inner reflection too.

  Which is why I'm here now, already warming to the apostates I judged with my JW scales, and enjoying fellowship with the future raven fodder!! God bless us all!!!

  What's up with JWs only loving each other?

  by new light in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how can it be called love when it is contingent on religious fervor?

  i saw first hand today how some dubs only respect those of the faith, while dismissing others as scum.

  their ridiculous, unnecessary preaching work is their only claim to being christ's followers.

  just a quick thought on this....

  Wasn't it the Israelites, Gods chosen people, who had to keep themselves 'clean' by not associating / marrying the surrounding nations ? These same people were under the Mosaic Law...... Didn't Jesus sacrifice 'nullify the mosaic law' ?? "I give you 2 commandments, 1st, Love your God with all your heart.... 2nd, Love your Neighbour as yourself". When questioned about who is my neighbour, Jesus used the parable of the 'Good Samaritan - a worldly person who helped a jew (gods people)'. (I always find it interesting that he didn't do it the other way round)

  If that's so, then, doesn't that mean also associating with these 'surrounding nations' i.e. the 'world', i.e. NEIGHBOURS is now possible / acceptable / A COMMANDMENT??? Shouldn't marriage be left to a matter of conscience, and the JW side of the union be given as much SUPPORT as possible instead of JUDGEMENT ?. Taking that a step further then, are the WTBTS sinning against the Holy Spirit - 'pronouncing unclean that which I have said is clean?'

  If my reasoning is way out of line on this, please feel free to 'steer me', but be gentle!

  trying to catch up and play games with them and see if I can focus on them.

  Yeah I've tried that a few times... word of advice though... if you happen to get bored whilst driving, dont play that game then!!

  Imagine trying to explain it to a policeman after an accident...."No officer, I'm not drunk. I was merely trying to focus on a floater....." They'd have you locked up and on Prozac before you took your next breath!!!

  My mom has tried this one on me loads of times... they really do pile on the pressure don't they...

  I wonder if they have a 'secret publication' specifically for families of df'd ones, that details good manipulation techniques etc....

  Gopher:

  They view outsiders with distrust

  IMO, it's not so much distrust... it's more a feeling of superiority. Everyone who's not a witness is intent on drinking till they puke, taking drugs and fornicating each other into obliviom - in their eyes. This is what they must be saved from.

  Saved ????? Sounds more like a good weekend to me!!
