Getting df'd for telling others about the WTS and the UN fiasco
by proandcon innot too long ago in a local congregation in massachusetts, two people were df'd for telling others about the wts involvement with the un...anyone else hear of this happenning in your area?
i guess teling othere the truth about the wts is not allowed either.
the lack of honesty and humility in this group never ceases to amaze me.

I know its rough roads but try stay strong. If your entertaining any suicidal thoughts please go speak to a professional counsellor immediately!
Remember that most people here care about you and your journey and appreciate how difficult it is. Post as much as you need. It can be very healing.
And of course you can have a hug!!! ((((5G))))

Our IT Geeks at work have one of these same tracts hanging up at work with a modification.
"All Suffering Soon to End - Tivoli Dies"
The bit in bold has been hand written on under the original heading. Its quite funny actually! I pay them out for it.

What did your worldly friends think?
by Fleshybirdfodder inat around 19 years of age i started dating a "worlding" girl and brought her to meetings to get the elders off my back (to no avail of course... i was "marked").
needless to say word got out and some of my other friends decided to check out some of the meetings.
one of my closest friends who had been to many church services (he is a gifted musician and played organ at his church and several others) came to a theocratic ministry school/service meeting.

Funnily enough I think the clapping was one of the first things that got to me. One assembly my best friend and I (very controversial as he was a male!! shock horror) sat together and realised there was something wrong with all this clapping all the time. It began to make us feel very uncomfortable. We decided then and there that we would no longer clap at JW things EVER. And we didn't. It was my first act of rebellion!
LimboGirl - I understand exactly where your coming from. You could always sneak in late and leave before the song. (eeerk) if only you were closer we could go to a meeting together.

I never took a wordly friend along to a meeting. I wasn't real good at witnessing etc. LOL. Despite my many hundreds/thousands of hours I did it...
However sometimes I think I would like to go along to a meeting again where nobody knows me just to observe. I want to view it from the perspective I have now. See that whole business meeting aspect of it.
By the way Fleshybirdfodder has got to be the best name I've seen for a poster!

truth hidden, or hidden by the truth?
by I-follow-the-narrow-path ini was wondering... the sister i have been studying with and all the jw seem a bit strange.
i mean they tell me a lot of stuff, but make it seem logical... like everything is okay.
for example: instead of saying one should not have friends with non jws-- they will say... that i shouldn't get "too close" to those who do not praise jehovah.

I-follow-the-narrow-path - when I used to study with people I would 'sugar coat' certain policies and rules to make them sound less harsh to people. I think a lot of people have done similar.

The depression and unhappiness I felt because of the WTBTS is what prompted me to leave. Once I was free from them I was so happy! I have moments of sadness now on occasion (like missing friends and stuff) but not depression.
