love, ideally

by SPAZnik in

show me that you love me.

show me that you know how little it is we all really know about love.

show me how to love you.

SPAZ,

If you wrote that with one particular person in mind, he is a lucky man to be loved that deeply!

for those of you who have left the watchtower have you experienced greater happiness since leaving than when you were in.especially a feeling of all that pressure lifting of conforming to the tower that you didnt realize originally made you misrable and was blamed on satan.thats how ive feel these days since leaving.i feel more natural and mentally stable than when i was a conforming jw.. on the other hand have you noticed these days when i bump into my ex congregation associates they look quite unhappy and depressed.then again it could be because some of them dont know how to deal with me knowing that ive left watchtower land..

jace,

The freedom from worrying about dying at Armageddon was the biggest relief for me.

The Watchtower Society is drop dead gorgeous.

by edmond dantes in

sometimes in my mind i go back to the beginning of my jw experience which for me was a very long time ago when i got really excited when the awake and watchtower came through the letter box after i paid for a yearly subscription, just to cover the printing costs you understand.in those far off days long gone in my gullible inexperienced just finished school days i really thought here was a religion to believe in ,to trust,to tell the entire world about and to show others the pretty pictures of the new world as depicted in the books and magazines.at that time i would have literally given my life in order to get through armaggedon.i really thought it was the greatest and only true religion on the planet and in my naive young mind i thought we were living with all the other brothers and sisters in a truly new world society,no more fighting for your countries wars,no more adultary,lying ,cheating,envy, money grabbing, murder etc.just the thought of holding on untill the big a .

and i couldn't for the life of me see why everyone who i spoke to about it wouldn't believe in the message of the watchtower.i thought the assemblies depicted how we would all get along with love in the new world.thats how daft i was.. then one day a seed of doubt entered my mind which at first i dismissed as the devil leading me astray this devil concept was also backed up by a brother , a congregational overseer,telling me it was so.i thought he was right until i discovered that due to his doubts he had stopped going to the meetings ,and then i was introduced to another brother who was classed as spiritually week even though he had refused to go into the millitary and went to prison, he came out of prison with doubts about the so called truth.i thought to myself how can someone be so convinced about his beliefs that he would go to prison for it and then suddenly realise he had been wrong.. then i gradually grew wiser and older ,the scales began to drop from eyes as i witnessed at first hand a hell of a lot of hypocrisy within the so called clean organisation.i went on to learn about beth sarim and the many changes of doctrine which resulted in new light and many, many examples of the lack of true love and care within the so called new world society.

all they were interested in was how many hours you managed to put in each week and whether you were in the clique.the list of reasons not to believe grew endless until at last just as you can fall out of love with someone the love evaporated it just vanished into thin air never to return, and i wonder sometimes where does love go when it drops down dead.. and i realise that without true substance being in love with something or for that matter someone is a figment of the mind.. .

ED,

The Organization has much more vanity than beauty!

I was born in, and the pretty pictures never did anything for me, except the Armageddon pictures scared the s**t out of me.

Women being in subjection...a sore subject

by milligal in

jw
friends

i was raised jw and of course the whole theory that a man is the head and the woman must respect her husband and be in subjection to his authority was ingrained in me from a young age.

my mother, (oddly enough) chose the jw religion, dragged my father in kicking and screaming (he later served as an elder for 17 years) and she complained constantly about men being in control and her pains as a woman in subjection.

now, i already have a good idea about my mother's problems.

It is amazing that the WT magazines came down so hard on The Rolling Stones music; you would think they would love the song "Under My Thumb."

Any Have Witness Spouses who Freaked Out When You Missed Meetings ?

by flipper in

jw
friends

i mean , really freaked out !

you just have to tell your boss you can't go to the job out of town !

so , i did go on the out of town job, went to the memorial, however that was not enough.

JK666

Yes I have!

How about the psychobitchfromhell3? Once, in the brief span of time we lived together, we were having carpet laid in our house (hers prior to the marriage, mine I never sold because she was too nuts). I get home from work on a Friday night, and I hear that the carpet layers (JW's of course) couldn't finish laying the carpet because the floor in her modular's living room was rotted. They wanted to finish the job on Monday!

She had one of the biggest fits that you could imagine because I missed Saturday service and Sunday meeting to rip out and repair the flooring. That ended up being the final straw, before I left for my house and a separation. (and I ended up paying to carpet the entire house of hers). Just call me a sucker, and her a psychobitchfromhell.

That story is just one of many, I will skip the one about her hitting me with her car in a fit of anger.

Current elder explains the college situation to me

by changeling in

jw
friends

while he says he has not seen a letter ,he tells me that at the last visit the co told his body of elders pretty much what is being said here on jwd.. he gave some examples: .

1- if a young ms/pioneer, attends college and lives at home, would he and his elder dad be deleted?

the young man is "spiritually focused".. 2- an elder's daughter attends college in the hopes of having a good job in the future and dad promotes this course of action.

Oompa,

Another Waco in making?

by zagor in

you've got to see this documentary.

i'm starting to be really amazed by the extent of people's self-delusion.

but this is not even funny any more.

JK666

God, that gave me the heebie jeebies! So much of their jargon resembles the JW's, and their smug self righteous attitude would fit in well at a Kingdom Hall.
