did the wts's lies, hypocricy, corruption, abuse, dishonesty, control, inconsistencies, self-righteousness, judgment, sexism, ignorance, and anything else you can think of.................................................make you lose whatever faith you had before??????????????.
i know many here were raised dubs and forced to do things until old enough to stand up to their parents, not because of belief!
but i'm interested in knowing how many had some kind of belief in god that was later damaged or destroyed by the wts's teachings and/or treatment?.
I did belive in God before the wtbts, he just became more real to me. But I also became afraid of him too. Before the wtbts I wasnt afraid.
I find myself a little in the same situation.
I really dont know what to believe. One day I can believe so strongly in Armageddon and think I am going to die, and the next
day I feel like going to my psychic and getting a reading. Im really messed in the head.

just interested!.
when you were disfellowshipped, who was the first person you contacted?.
i'm just about to write a letter to my cousin who was disfellowshipped 15 years ago.. .
Actually, an old friend of mine that was df'd before me contacted me.
I was in another state, my old congregation got wind of it thru a friend in the congregation I was df'd from.
Then we got in touch with another friend of ours. We all went to high school together and went thru all
the ridicule together. Now we are all gonna go to our 10th year reunion. That should be interesting.

when i was disfellowshipped, i was really looking for a way out, although i did not want to be disfellowshipped, it was easier than making the break on my own.. i appreciate that many are distraught when they get df'd, but was the actual meeting controlled by the elders or you?.
how many were really in control of the meeting and knew that being disfellowshipped was actually a way of ensuring that you would get no more hassle from the elders?
XQ--

well..........theres alot of things i dont know since i just took everything that i learned as fact
i never ?'d it, and now here i am

I definitely didnt control the meeting
it was just to confirm the facts with me beforehand
it only took them not even 5 min to say convene with df'g outcome

disfellowshipped, seeking inner peace, or just a piece

after reading many experiences and comments on the board, i have begun to have questions.
questions that i really didnt know i until i read them.
as a recently df'd person, i am still struggling with whether jws are really a cult or is it just that im bitter for being torn away from the only thing that i knew, where i had friends that i thought loved me.
Actually, no im not that Sinamon
but u can still talk to me
