  Was There Ever Any Rule That You Thought Was Silly In The Organization?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the rule on having "large gatherings" was stupid.

  because some people abused a "christian get-together" that had a lot of people, we could only get together in smaller groups.

  I am so proud of my daughters !

  i had my girls over last night for dinner.

  during the conversation, we talked about a number of things, in where i detected that they have grown up so much in making decisions for themselves that are totally contrary to the borg beliefs and standards.

  the movies they watch, music they listen to, people they hang out with, parties they go to, video games they play.. i have talked to my girls everyday since last week.

  Are You a "Mess" Since Leaving The Organization or Are You OK?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most people have left the organization because of emotional issues.

  the feeling that there is no real love or fellow feeling seems to get at people.

  it gnaws at them.

  i don't want to live forever... will i be df'd?

  by dh in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is just a hypothetical question, but lets say you are a jw, but with one thing and another you realised that you didn't want to love forever, and so told the elders that not wanting to live forever yourself, you would be unable to to sell everlasting life to people on the doors, and that if you don't share the hope of other jw's, how can you really call yourself a jw?

  basically you do not feel like a jw because you do not want what jehovah is offering you.. would they df you?

  or would they let you fade?

  Rage, the WTS and JWD - a year's journey

  by talesin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it was a year ago this past week that i joined jwd.

  being here has helped me with one issue in particular.

  i would like exchange feelings/experiences with you about this, as i feel that it could be key for many of us.. i left the jws in 1977, was df in 1979. since then, and up until joining jwd, i had no knowledge of the machinations of the society.. some of the things i learned about here are, the flip flop on organ transplants, the un scandal and the 'two witness' rule being applied to paedophiles.

  I wondered why I was not at ease being a Witness.

  by PinTail in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i wondered why i was not at ease being a witness till i learned what a cult is from many sorces, and stopped being so scared from day to day what god will do to me.

  i am still scared of what he will do to me from being raised a witness, its weird they did not teach a firey hell, but they put the same kind of fear in me.

  everytime some national problem comes along i freek, even when i no longer go to them meetings or read the tower.

  I choose cremation

  I guess the idea of having my ashes being spread around gives me the feeling of being "free"

  since for 10 years of my life i spent "in a box"

  When Im dead, I wont care, but they always say funerals are for the living.
