  Does Anyone Still Believe in God?

  by LaurenM in

  2. beliefs

  do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

  even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

  the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

  I do not understand God. My current opinion is that he is...... A monster.

  What is your purpose or what do you wish to accomplish while a member of this board?

  by Tenacious in

  when i joined this forum i was seeking more people who felt the same way i did in terms of seeing the jehovah's witness organization for what it truly was; a false prophet.. once i found like-minded members i slowly started to open up and participate more in trying to help others that were also exiting mentally and physically.

  today, i offer support to anyone who desires it regardless of what they believe or not believe.. so what is your purpose on this board?.

  support?

  Good for venting and also finding people going through the same JW struggle.

  I draw a line at manning those literature carts. Have gotten out of it many times. I really dislike that preaching method!

  The Witnesses Are Really Trying Hard To Get Me Back In

  at my mom's bed side all i see is either jw family or friends making a concerted effort to have me return to their fold.

  evidentlyy, my mom has encouraged this and i'm a trapped prisoner, as they do their best to have me come back.

  it's bad enough that i have to endure my mom's dying, now i have to be bombarded with this bs..

  Perhaps you lead them on with false hopes of returning.

  May good memories of her give you comfort.

  Once disfellowshipped or faded, one ceases to exist for the active JW. Sad. True love for sure, don't you think?

  Certainly the high price paid for stepping out of the JW world.

  Meeting changes - just sad, pathetic

  ok, so let's say you're on the gb.

  for years, you've been getting hundreds of reports from your hired ss agents, er, cos, about poor midweek meeting attendance, people not showing up for talks, crappy teaching from elders, etc.. so, you make the determination - ok!

  here's a couple of choices:.

  In the Spanish side, we are dumbfounded and not too happy at all. Why the drastic changes?

  Are Circuit Overseers next?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  last year saw the elimination of the district overseer...and circuit overseers now must retire at 70. how long until the circuit overseer is no more?

  of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid.

  they would have to care for their own expenses.

  It's all about the money Lebowski!!!

  I used to practice the 'green' handshake. One of the many practices ceased since learning TTATT. I know my gullible hubby, hardcore JW, does the 'green' handshake thing every time the CO shows up.

  Oh, and another thing, during the assemblies at the elders' meeting there is a collection of money to cover the Society invited speaker's expenses, travel and all. Crazy!!!

  COs are such a heavy burden on the congs! I mean they get all their needs/expenses covered by the cong they visit that week. Their fancy food shopping at health stores is not cheap, among many other stuff.

  It would be refreshing to have them work at least a part-time gig to help with their upkeep. If this transpired, one would see quite a few quit. They enjoy a bit much their rock star status and the endless 'green' handshakes.

  Wishful thinking for now!
