  Likening my exit from the JWs to a bad divorce

  by findingmyway in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  unlike those of you who made the choice to drift or fade away, i was df'd a few years ago and, at the time, i thought i would return.

  with the passing of time, i am realizing that going back for the sake of mending family bonds is not a good enough reason to go back.

  but my family has been holding out the hope that i will return.

  Awe i feel your pain and i understand completly in a way that you cant possibly imagine.

  dont feel ashamed to rejoin. but, dont feel ashamed not too. Ive been disfellowshipped twice now. both times I told on myself. and both times i was sad. but then began to realize that all my friends around me who were still inside are losing there virginity.

  people are not perfect. but tell me this....do you think it's hard to go back... it takes about a year or less and you have to attend regularly and you must read all the publications. once your back in you forget all the reading and the talking and you return to the What is life really about phase.. then you tell yourself.. well it's about the paradise. and in the bible that I have read there are regulations to abide by.. although remember jehovah wants what we can give. so if you got reinstated and only went 1 meeting a week that would be your best. and thats all he wants. all the other power hungry go go go be a pioneer be this be that ....

  the only people i met who were fascinating people were not pioneers. they were normal average Joe blow witness who really cared for one another. and most were disfellowshipped.. bringing themselves to tell on themselves for actions WE ALL DO.........

  and if they say they dont THEY ARE LYING.....no ones perfect.. elders disfellowship when the victim appears to have no fear.

  having No godly fear scares them. or concerns them...but in fact prayer to jehovah should be just as sufficient.

  i know being disfellowshipped is hard and believe me it's killing me.. but I know one day when iam old and grey there will be alot of time. to be with your family..time is a marvelous thing..

  by Sam the Man in

  2. friends

  well an elder had the nerve to tell me that i 'wasnt doing enough' and that i should 'really start' by coming out on the evening service on monday night.

  'yeah, ok mate'.

  there is a lie to get out of anything!

  WOW....thats a good point... ive never seen them doing any charity work for any non-jw organization.

  I remember when i was at my grama's funeral back in the summer..and she was a baptist. So it was done in a baptist church .And they had charity donation boxes. which i had not seen before and my first reaction was like....WOW this is a church lets focus on god here or my grama's funeral not charity..cause after the sermon they were like rest in peace...and then does anyone want to contribute to charity.. i thought i was off key...

  But however it is nice that they offer some relief to charity and relief efforts.

  On topic and OFF topic.. about the evening service.. It's odd how they go in service and yet kick out many that actually believe in it..?? cause if I hadn't believed in it i wouldnt of told on myself. and the people who dont tell on themselves sit next to people at the assemblys and you woudnt' even no the difference. do they want honest people who sin... or Dishonest people who sin..?

  What silly rules did your congregation make up?

  by weinermcgee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  elders were famous for making up stupid rules with no bible base at all as an ego trip i guess, what were some of yours?

  i am not talking about the stupid rules that we all had to follow, just the congregation specific silly ones.. 1. having to button your jacket while on stage (this was later changed due to all the elders having a beer gut).

  2. suits only or no privledges.

  not sure if these were considerd rules or just mulit-purpose for controlling irate commenting...

  the elder (particularly one X bethelite) sent to my old congregation would ask..

  Co if he was visiting..

  P.O if he had his hand up....

  Elders then to comment..

  Then the elders wives.

  Then the special pioneers..

  then the pioneers.

  then the publishers who were like pioneers.

  and everyone else had there hand up a few times...

  USUALLY MEN WERE ASKED FIRST AND WOMEN AT THE VERY LAST....IF THERE WAS TIME..

  whats awol mean i cant keep up with all the short word terms???

  i think that 50 is kinda young but young enough to give the jw's 30 more years..

  but. governing body do make mistakes and when one is removed another is in there place.

  although women of that class are not well known. and they dont collaberate in bethel????

  144,000??

  by What_is_ur_point in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as long as i can remember there have been the 144,000. that number told to me and told to everyone in the witness religon.. (how many are left) why are the men just there at the headquarters..?.

  here's my thoughts.. i know of a woman who is part of the 144,000 and she doesn't talk to the rest of them at the headquarters.

  this always has botherd me.. i wonder why wouldnt her thoughts and opinions be of some attention..one time wayyy before i was dfd again.. we were sitting talking.. and her name is alice.. and she lives in nh.. and we were having tea.

"keep your eyes. and ears open" and she stared at me and stared at me then....she automatically changed the topic.

  when after we were done visiting she grabbed me and she said.. "You are my friend." and it meant soo much to me..I'am a really good person.

  by zagor in

  2. friends

  i don't know if something is wrong with me or with entire setup of things.

  i mean every time i think about wtbs i get angry and frustrated which is beyond the reason.

  and most interesting part is i'm not getting any better, looks like i'm going nuts every time somebody mention anything even remotely related to wtbs.

  Iam SOO obsessed I feel possessed. Ive been losing sleep over this whole slew of my live in the past 26years. i have nightmeres about the day i was baptised. and i look at the picture and wanna cry..(i put it on my fridge).. and OR go back in time and sTop myself. Iam currently Disfellowshipped yet again.. on my second time. I guess Going late and leaving early for the first time wasen't hard on me enough. i seemd to had forgotten all the torment. when i was 18 1/2 I was hunted down by a group or elders who met with me to disfellowship me the first time. I had basically wrote a dfd letter but still they seem to call when there on the search and destroy team. BUT. i keep my sense of humor. it's the only thing i got left. UM, i was then dfd for almost 5years. When i went into a mind trap. to be reinstated, some odd desire to be pure and run after a life i had from 0-18. I feel sad cause i only had been reinstated for 2 years about until the sexual desires in me wanted out. So i did it. and I was dfd for having sex two times in 2 years.. while telling the elders that was pretty good....no good choice of words i guess...??? BUT soooo many young kids were getting away with murder so to speak and i went willingly and told on myself. I got punished for doing the RIGHT thing.. even a HOMOSexual from my old hall got away with all his bad stuff cause he was dating another girl fast after I and was obviously pressured into marrying her.. so escaping eviction.. he was Veto'ed. lol OMG thats good,. but.... but.. i feel no part of the world.. that makes me happy.. :) So now ive been dfd since februaryish 2005. and its tough some nights i cry and cry and fear and cry and cry and fear...yet iam trying to have a normal life with my 2nd boyfriend.. that i had been dating for almost a year and he really cares about me. something witness never taught me that WORLDLY people have feelings too.. i realize how mind trapped i was when my POOr grandma died who was baptist that i think of everyday...and i know ill see her again..i went to her funeral..my sister didn't.. and my mom didn't...and me and my dad were there.. my dad has never been a witness but is talking like one these days i wonder if he will shun me soon like my sister and mom are now..:((
