im leaving guys thank you "apostates" lol witnesses are a messed up cult i wish i had known about this sooner ive been raised in "the truth" im 16 im leaveing tomorrow
This really makes me scared. You are so brave, as an adult I wish I had your courage!!!!
Are your parents so bad that you cannot talk to them, are you baptized that really makes a difference.
Tell them you love them, but you cannot believe its the only truth.
I feel sorry for you and your mum and dad.
Goodluck
this was another issue i had with them.
no matter what someone did, no matter how bad and even if the person was dfd and came back some would welcome them with open arms.
it was almost as if they were being rewarded for their wrongdoing.
Thank god Joseph didnt shun Mary!!!!! But actually kept it quiet and treated Jesus as his own. Is there a lesson for us.
Stop judging,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you refering to me ? You pigg, I cant help it if I cant spel, I think the topik is more important than the spelling. Many ppl have problem with spelling get over itt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just curious..now that you're an exjw, do you think that the world is a good place or an evil place to be?.
or are you screwed up about asylum seekers and other perceived threats to your security?.
i tend to always err towards optimism generally.
I come into contact with a lot of ppl from Iraq and Iran, they are the most loving caring ppl.
There are fanatics everywhere even in the USA and Britain.
Dont panic, its not the end of the world, its just change and thats scary for everyone !!!!!!!!!!
time sure fly's.
maybe one day i will introduce myself.. it was a good day in my life when i stumbled upon this place.
thank you all for sharing your lives with me and making me feel normal.
i certainly have had my share of jw stupidity for the day ... and of my family's stupidity today.
two things happened ... both completely unrelated.
as a little background, i "faded" from the witnesses almost five years ago.
You have to decide whats important. Keeping a relationship with your family WITH some conditions. Or say it like it is and risk it
Your family are trapped, maybe they dont want to be seen as having a relationship with you not because they are ashamed or hpocritical, but they know some WT stir for trouble and if one person even hints that they are stumbled by your mother continuing to see you, the elders will act, and your mother knows this.
Dont take it personally, realize your mum is maybe scared that they will tell her to make THE choice.
Dont let the b#"%&ยค win, be discreet for all your sakes and help your mum, shes being held captive in a cult, remember that !!!!!!
I know its upsetting, but also know that many ppl here understand, so vent away
...my gran, who has been a jw since the 1950's will be reproved publicly for speaking to her grand-daughter who is disfellowshipped.
she is 77 years old and i am worried that it will be the death of her.
the"truth" has been her life for nearly fifty years and she is still a regular publisher.. if she continues to commit this gross sin she will be disfellowshipped.. her daughter and son in law are to be disfellowshipped for the terrible sin of allowing their daughter to live under their roof since she left her husband.
Maybe you could give us an update on your grandma? How is she?
i hope this is not a repeat of past threads and i hope to get a lot of response.
i am compiling info of how people are treated within the wts.
i just read the post about a person being counseled for having baby shower games.
Talisin
I also know of a sister who got counciled after her talk, cos her nipples where sticking out!!!!!!!!!
They needed to fix the damm heating that would help
That family have now left the truth, that last comment was the one that finally drove them out, She became a laughting stock of the whole circuit.
i dropped out years ago because i couldn't stand getting together with sisters i didn't like to do a talk.
i hated it with a passion!!
i do realize that you did learn but what i resented was that the sisters were inflicted on each other in a way that i don't think the brothers were.
I always wondered what good it did. Nobody learned anything from anybody elses talks and if it was yours youd forget it and NEVER use it on field sevice
The agony it cause to so many, it was just something else to keep you preoccupied from the real life.
as i was reading the thread about not at homes i wondered if anyone else a slacker pioneer?.
there was a bunch of us in our hall that went out on a wednesday.
we usually managed about 45mins before needing a coffee which somehow extended through lunchtime, maybe interupted by a return visit that hopefully wasn't home.
I auxillaried with a regular, we did cheat. I felt bad at first but theres no way your can regular pioneer honestly. I dont care what you say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
