by Spectrum in

2. scandals
i posted this in another thread but it is more relevant here.

i worked for jw doing back breaking work for a while only to be told by another jw that he was ripping me of - he was paying me half the going rate.

i was only 17 and naive didn't know anything about the world of work.

How does Shunning feel?

just curious as i had never really been a true jehovah witness.

i would think that you make friends and suddenly you don't exist.

i would think a board like this is a true godsend.

What made you lose your joy in serving Jehovah?
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
we all started off as happy witnesses, except for those dragged into this religion by force as kids.. in my case, i found that there were way too many meetings.

then seeing the new system being constantly pushed back, and finally when i saw a lack of true love in the congregation.

and when they hinted that probably there wouldn't be any sex and marriage for the resurrected ones.

Is there any way I can just cream skim the Truth????

i have been lurking for some time and only recently started to post if you have seen my posts, i have always represented myself as a loyal jw and one who is planning to stay in however, lately my faith and commitment as a jw has been tested and, without going into details, i am having problems of faith and life that i could really use some help on.

if so, you might ask, why dont i just leave?

well, i have a wife that is a very devout jw and she would be crushed and very upset if i quit she believes it all 100% and lives to worship the borg in fact, she would be very upset if she even knew i was visiting this site.

during your stint in the wts were there any jws that would regularly harass and persecute you because of jealousy or sheer malice rather than due to any "apopstate ideas?

what would happen if you got a divorce and told the elders nothing...
by ?me? in
1. jw
2. friends
what would/could happen if you and your wife decided that you needed to divorce?

lets say one of us screwed up and cheated, how do you think it would go over if you stonewalled the elders when they tried to get some info?

just told them "it is personal" or just told them that there was grounds to divorce ( even if you did not give any more info).

Jan 1st WT: Reaching out, Higher Education and Providing for one's needs
by truthseeker in
1. jw
2. friends
well, as a nice start to the new year, the jan 1st watchtower article, "how firm is your trust in god" blasts those who live comfortable lives, those who don't reach out, and those who pursue higher education.. definitely, they are taking a harsher stand, having completely painted themselves into a corner.. i highlighted the interesting comments.

i did not include all the text for each paragraph, just the main points.. .

1 a young man wanted to be more useful to the congregation.

JV's super fantastic Oct 1st education article review!!!!!! (LONG!!)
by JV in
1. jw

where to start?

first off i want to say that i actually took notes with my really cool 4 colour pen, and i colour coded my comments accordingly.

green = vomit inducing, red = furious, blue = makes me sad, and black = makes me want to die, lets just say that my article was really green .
