  Here is what I did Minimus.

  Elder phoned (after 8 years) to ask if any problem and if 2 elders can come over.

  Said (over the phone) concerned that it is not the truth as I have looked at the histroy if society (elder really not interested), said I would phone him back if they should come.

  Phoned him 2 days later and said that he must first look at all the phophesies that have gone wrong, he said NO he knows has the truth gave me 2 options 1.I must write a letter DIS myself or 2. Come to the KH at a certain time and if I am not there then they will go on ahead without me.

  I did neither. A half a week later another elder phoned me and said they have announced that i am no longer a jw. I then said to him THE BLOOD IS ON HIS HEAD.

  I would NOT GO THE THE KH and be subjected to MEN asking all types of questions and lording it over me or you for that matter. NO MORE. THEY ARE ONLY MEN. BELIEVE THAT Minimus THEY ARE ONLY MEN. My mom and big sister do not talk to me, but they will when they see that Christ is in me. All the best. Just remember you must do what you feel inside.

  i have been a regular visitor to this forum for the past 2 years or so, finally i got the courage to register.. you guys are an inspiration , your stories and experiences have helped me to take a stand against this controlling org.. in short, i was raised from birth as a jw, parents are from the old school very much hard liners, the society is their god.

  is expected of you, get baptised as a teenager become a ms then elder.

  i always had my doubts about the society and its teachings but was.

  ...and considering i don't have any, it is surprising that i found the nerve to post my photo as my avatar!

  i was leery to use my photo thinking someone i knew could catch on to my new apostate antics.

  so, i couldn't decide what to use.

  I just dont know how you can even stand to walk thru the KH doors, I cannot even drive past the KH without feeling a little sick!!!!!!

  Before I got DFed or the people where told 2 weeks ago that i was no longer a jw, my daughter was going to give a talk after a long time herself of being cold (as they say) and i SAID TO HER loubelle I JUST CANNOT EVEN THINK OF WALKING THRU THAT DOOR.

  Well at least you know they a talking blah blah.

  Grace, and JWs

  by josephus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  im studying a lot nowadays, and am finding the teaching of grace to be really wonderfull.. the idea of god forgiving us so freely, is great.. but ive been trying to remember the jws teachings on it.

  i cant ever remember the word grace being used, much less the idea of this teaching.. speaking for myself, all i remember was a deep sense of guilt.

  along with the thought that god would never allow me to survive armagedon.. did your halls teach grace ?

  Ya its underserved kindness. Oh I just cannot tell you how I feel about GRACE, I am still finding out all about it. ITS WONDERFUL.

  One is not under LAW but under GRACE. Do yourself a favour get the books by Steve McVey, he has about 4 books that talks about Grace, it BLEW my mind, what a writer, fantastic, well for me that is, as I am still very, very new to the whole Grace thing.

  I agree what's the point.

  But what I would like to do is, invite them in, go to my cupboard, get out all the mail I got from the internet about the lies upon lies, upon lies. Boxes of papers and give it to them or shove it into their hands ( as they wont take anything).

  But what's the point.

  Just close the door.

  new to the forum & simply introducing myself.

  i've enjoyed reading some of the posts here.

  it is so nice to know these forums exist for poor ex-jw girls that suffer from post tramatic sheltered-from-the-rest-of-the-free-world syndrome.

  A question for JWs only please

  by jaffacake in

  .

  this always seems to be one of those questions i've asked before but which never quite gets answered by jws.

  do you believe that jws need a mediator beteen god and men?

  It is taught by the JW that the mediator Jesus is only for the annointed 144T, not the great crowd it, BUT because they are associated with the heavenly class the 144T, they take hold of the skirt of the Jew (144T) and still have to pray to God thru Jesus.

  God spoke direct to Moses and all the other prophets.

  We speak now direct to God because Jesus died for all of us on earth. Jesus being God himself (not glorified) on earth. Rem. in Genesis, Jah came to see Abraham (Jah in the flesh, but not in HIS Glory).

  We can only be saved thru believing in Jesus and accepting him. He is the way, truth and the life, if we accept Him, we do not need a Mediator.
