Isn't it amazing how easy it can be for people to turn on one another? People you love and trust....sucks that it happened to you Karl, yet somehow I sense that you are happy being "out".

i regret to inform, all of you that i will no longer be a member of this board, ive thought about it a long time and to hard decision that after many hours of praying i will be returning to the society.

i know its the only way i can confront the problem that i am currently faced with, i am sure all of you at one time thought about it too, i am however weak, i know that going back will only delay matters and keep this horrible secret of mine, but its the only way i know how i can deal with it.

thank you for all your support and for me to fully get back to jehovahs organization i can not be a member of this board thank you worldly andre

by R.F. in

this is my #1 hobby.

I loved Zelda Ocarina of Time.

I play pc games. I have played Pharaoh and Cleopatra (you build an Egyptian city)(all my people keep dying from plague though) and a new one GHOST hunters, which is basically like an ISpy type of game.

The latest one I downloaded is Magic Online. This should be interesting as I've no blinking idea what I'm doing.

But I needed something to zap, so ....

Active Elders who post on JWD

by Honesty in

does your conscience torment you knowing that you are misleading the flock of god as you continue teaching them the heresies of the watchtower society?.

why are you staying in the organization and posting here at the same time?.

do you really believe that you can help your families to reject the watchtower society while remaining an elder and visibly appearing to support their lies and false teachings?.

wow....

every person has to make the decision that is right for them and their set of circumstances.

I remember when I was trying to figure out what to do once I realized that the truth was not the truth. I decided, that I would fade. Admittedly, I could have done much better The months that I was in, not beleiving, I did it for one reason....I didn't want to lose my family. I knew that they would shun me. Losing my family, losing my friends has been one of the most difficult things in the world to deal with.

I also remember that when an elder stepped down and an anouncement was made, there was an eery silence in the congregation like "Woe, what happened?"

Stepping down, indicates there is a problem, either in the home or with an individual. It raises eyebrows.

If any one of our friends on jwd who live a life as an elder were to step down, he would more then likely have to have a really good reason why to avoid suspicion from family and close friends and the rest of the elders.

They have to do what is going to be best for them and for their loved ones and neither myself nor any of us can say what that is.

to the active jw's on the board still figuring it out, be you elder, ms or pub
