  A Letter from a disfellowshipped JW

  by reneeisorym in

  there was a disfellowshipped jw that came to the witness now for jesus convention in pennsylvania.

  we all tried to show him the error of the jw way but he is just so blinded that he couldn't understand what the problem is with jws (can you believe it?!

  ) we tried until we were blue in the face and it seemed that with every step we went forward with him one day, we went back two the next.

  Renee, I would have been tempted to say something like this. " You think I'm a little fat and I think you're a lot Weird and like you said, I can always loose the weight" seek2find

  Plan for happiness that ended up being a trap...

  so many people, mostly teenagers, but even adults, especially jw's, experience something similar to this song by tracy chapman.

  jw's are like naive teenagers in thinking marriage will be a cure all for their depression and loneliness.

  I forgot to mention above that in my opinion the home schooling sought after as a solution to "Bad association" even serves to futher deepen the isolation and lonliness. So when few young people are availabe localy it becomes a situation of "no association" with the world and "no association" anywhere else either. So sad. Why did I have to be born in this mess of a religion? seek2find

  FHN I almost didn't look at this post, but I'm glad I did. This scenario is all to Familiar with me, because my daughter has ended up in a relationship out of desperation. Only in her case its worse than normal. Her Husband was disfellowshipped on the night after their wedding which was conducted in secret in our home. The move was on to get him disfellowshipped before they could get more involved and out of disperation Her Mother and I allowed them to get Married. So 2 years later, he is still disfellowshipped and they are still strugling, and we are still helping them. All this happened because of the loniness and Isolation that is brought on all who are raised in witness homes. The real sad part is that most of those involved (except me) think this is still Gods Organization. But for 2 years now they have not prayed together, or read the Bible together, or did anything of a spiritual nature together because it forbidden by the Organization. HOW CAN GOD APROVE OF THIS!!! When will the insanity end? seek2find

Boy was we wrong! They were basicaly ignored, if the Family member would have been high up on the witness ladder they would have got lots of attention, sad thing is the family member died and the majority of the Family still has Faith in the Organazations policy. The moral of this story is this. Don't expect a lot of attention from the HLC unless you are a somebody in the ORG. peons get ignored. seek2find

  Do JW’s qualify as Christ disciples based on John 13:34, 35?

  im a long time lurker first time poster.

  i am an open minded jw who believes in freeness of speech.

  i love my faith and my worldwide brother and sisterhood (even though i see much room for improvement in how things are run).. i thought i would stir things up a bit with the following question:.

  Hi Sola and welcome, I'll try to go easy. (GRIN) Would those in your congregation show you the same love if they knew that you were doubting the Organization or that you were posting on an appostate board? Or might their love come to a screaching halt because you showed a lack of loyalty? Just retorical questions to test and see if what you experiance at the Hall is the same love Jesus spoke of. The pharaisees of Jesus day probaly showed love among themselves, yet he criticized them for not showing it equally to others, like in the Parable of the good Samairitian. Do they (the Witnesses) show equal love to members of other churches that claim to follow Christ? seek2find

  JW's - Satanic Cult or just wrong-headed religion?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the evils of the religion are well documented here and elsewhere - but does that prove to you that they are indeed 'satanic', under the direction of satan?

  or are they just screwed up?

  I wouldn't say directly Satanic Just messed up like a lot others. It's becomming my oppinion that all religions are man made and therefore messed up. I once heard it said that "being a Christian is about being in a relationship not a religion" Following Christ is the only way to go in my oppinion, if a Church helps you do that then good, but when the Church gets to demanding and requires members to follow them thats where you need to part company. Just my 2 cents seek2find
