I would be shaking down to my very bones. I knew there had to be something I had done something to displease Jehovah despite my efforts to pleas Him and was going to be disfellowshipped for it.

21Did You Get "Butterflies" Everytime The Elders Wanted To Speak To You?
by minimus inlooking back, i can see how the elders could "terrorize" different persons.
some people are shy by nature.
others were trained from their previous religions to be in subjection to the "shepherds".

In the news: Jehovah's Witnesses - Who are they and what do they believe?
by Elsewhere inhttp://www.kentuckylaketimes.com/special/religionwatch/index.php?010619122901jehovah's witnesses - who are they and what do they believe?.
unlike in the case of christians who are persecuted in other lands for talking about jesus christ, jehovah's witnesses are largely persecuted for following the teachings of their corporate headquarters.
the deadbeat watchtower corporation pays no municipal taxes on their buildings, without even one charity to compensate the community.

Wow! I am so impressed by these posts. You all are so intelligent and tenacious in your exposures of The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Thanks for all the info.

Nope. I sure don't have any proof of life after death, nor do I believe it exists. Course, I haven't watched the Sci-Fi channel recently.

Totally screwed up.
by betrayedbyall inhi, its been a few months since i last visited the forum and to be honest in that time my life has just continued to go downhill, does it ever get any easier guys, i have been so close to ending it all a few times and dont know how much longer i can take the anquish and pain which i feel every day !!!!!!!!.
i now have no job, no friends, and no desire to fight anymore, i sit here day after day just wanting to sleep so that the mental pain will go away and yet i want peace so much.. my old mum who turns 80 next month, and who has been a witness for 50 years, has been so hurt by the events that led to my dissasociation she has now stopped going to the kingdoom hall, but i can see how sad and confused she is and i feel i have caused her great hurt in her later years, she has a bad heart and looks so worn down, i am worried sick she may pass away in this condition and this is tearing me apart also.
you might remember i lost my job after 28 years after being bullied and putting in a claim of harrasment, i then started up my own business and 10 witnesses worked for me, the lies and deceit was beyond words and in the end i had to close most of the business down, after that it was only myself and a non witness friend who were working together.

Betrayedbyall, don't give up. All the previous posts on this board to you give excellent advice. Do seek professional help. In the meantime, know that you are not alone in what you are experiencing. I personally ended up in a psychiatric hospital after I left Jehovah's Witnesses because of profound depression. I did not make a immediate recovery. In fact, it took years to work out.
Sometimes, I feel a need to re-bond with the Witnesses. To feel the security I thought I had with them. Then I remember the reality of it all. The cruel treatment they administer to everyone, and more importantly to me, the lies of the WBTS and I go on with my life. Know you have made the right decision and go on with yours and be kind to yourself. You deserve it. Personally, this board is 75% responsible for getting me out of the organization and keeping me out. Hope it does the same for you.

Do you "now" look for more reasons to dislike or hate the JW's?
by free2beme ini have noticed from reading over this site and from having contact with former witnesses in my personal life, that a lot of time is consumed in the beginning of your exit from the witnesses, with finding further reasons to hate or dislike the jehovah's witnesses.
with this i was wondering, is this done to give yourself more reason not to return or is it an expression of your freedom to find out what you want without borders.
from a pure psychological stand-point, i am prone to wonder if it is a means of feeding an inner anger to bring one a faults sense of security, when they are challenged from within to decide if what they are really dealing with is correct thinking or a path that is truly wrong.
