  Was leaving easy for you?

  by Preston in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was contemplating today on how easy it was for me to leave the congregation compared to what many people here had to deal with.

  i mean, all the letters, judicial committees, family breakdowns were not really something i had to deal with.

  the worst thing i had to deal with was when a couple of elders inquired if i ever "acted on" my being gay.

  Love amongst the "brothers"

  by Thirdson in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the one thing that jws claim is the love they have for one another.

  i am well aware of some of the things that have been done in the congregation for members and i believe real love was shown.

  in times of natural disaster jws have been very good at caring for their own.

  Dropping off incriminating info to Kingdom Hall?

  by stocwach in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am still fairly new to this site (was raised a jw from 4 til i just stopped going to meetings and moved out of the parents' house @ 17 in 1985).. fortunately i have a good relationship with my parents (i am an only child, which probably helps, not to mention the fact that they continually can't wait to see their grandchildren --3yr old boy and 7 mth old girl) even though they still diligently are full fledged dubs (my dad was an elder for many years before stepping down due to the extremely heavy load of preparing for talks, elders meetings etc, due to time it was taking away from our family).. after reviewing the numerous sites on the web and learning the truth and hypocrisy surrounding the watchtower, there are so many issues that i want to raise with the folks yet haven't mustered up the courage to do so, but that's another topic.. my question for you all is this: what do you think about the idea of anonymously dropping off incriminating documentation at the front door of the kh?

  imo there are so many down in the ranks have no clue the stuff about the un, silentlambs info, etc.

  someone would be bound to see this stuff, and it could cause a domino effect if received in the right wavering hands (of course the opposite i know could occur with a devout jw who immediately sees it as apostate and discards it down the toitet).. love to hear your thoughts!

  Why Do JW Leave and Want Nothing to Do With God

  by castlelover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find reading this information from different individuals that being a jw and then leaving has people not wanting anything to do with god.

  did god tell us to become members of a cult?

  i think it is a form of programming that is given over and over that we would be like a dog returning to its vomit.
