Did you go out door to door after you knew you were finished.

i did for a year.

i falsified reports, had fake rv's, told groups i was meeting up with other groups and went home just to show a presense.

i wasn't fading though, because of my situation i had to play like everything was fine.

No.

I DA'd 2 years later.

So you think you were a True Witness?

by FaithfulBrother in

fuck you.. i was raised in a jw family in the 1980's-1990's where we had to do the daily text 7 days a week during breakfast at the family table at 7am sharp between 7:00-7:15am.

this was followed by a "spiritual discussion," which was held every morning between 7:15am and 8:00am.. since we were homeschooled, our weekly field service was required from childhood on friday mornings immediately following the spiritual discussion, followed by saturday afternoon field service after the bookstudy, as well as sunday afternoon field service after the watchtower study.. i was also required to read each watchtower and awake magazine and give oral reports about each magazine i read in order for my father to be sure that i had actually read them.

i can't remember for sure, but i think each watchtower and awake was released every two weeks back then, making a new magazine to read every single week, followed by an oral report on every single article (including the watchtower study articles which i also had to read, then study in our weekly family watchtower study where we marked our answers, then studied again at the sunday watchtower study).. in addition to this, we also had a weekly family bible study at night each week, had a family bookstudy at night in which we marked our answers for the saturday morning bookstudy, had a family watchtower study at night where we marked our answers for the sunday morning watchtower study, had a family prayer together every night before bed, every morning before and after breakfast and every night before and after dinner (not including our half-family prayers for lunch by my mother since we were homeschooled.).

Faithful Brother,

Why do you want to give the JW's satisfaction?

You know the bastards eat it up when they hear about someone who leaves their version

of Christianity and plunges into despair and alcoholism.

Don't give them any satisfaction.

I was in the same place you are in now about 7 years ago when I rejected the faithless and diseased slave and told the society

to go fornicate with themselves.

Get some professional help before you self destruct.

Oral Review Answers

by youngbro in

i am feeling rather lazy.

has anyone got the answers for the oral review for this week?

and although i love the personal comments, i do not think my family would enjoy them, so does anyone have the clean cut answers?.

When did the cult drop the "Written Review" in favor of the "Oral Review?"

Preaching in vain.

by LouBelle in

on my way to work (my temp job) i drove past my witness uncle.

there he was on the street preaching to a man.

i knew that stance so well, publication in hand, leaning in towards to hopefully interested person and telling your story.

Honesty

David7 doesn't preach the good news.

He hawks books as an unpaid volunteer for a publishing company.

Feeling a little weird today

by Bucholz in

hello everybody, so i've been out of the wt for almost a year now.

i did go to the memorial last year, but that was pretty much the last meeting i attended.

thing is, as a born-in, i have never missed one, this will be the first.. don't get me wrong, i have absolutely no desire to go back, but after all these years there's a weird feeling about it.
