  Field Service, Anyone?

  by Farkel in

  the human brain is a non-stop chattering machine.

  it is constantly evaluating, making decisions and judgments.

  there is not a human being alive that isn't an abject hypocrite nearly every day.

  Hi!
  I still a witnees but kind of inactive. I go to the meetings just to please my wife, but I see to the hypocracy of this organization.
  Finally my eyes has open to see the reality of life. There is not any organization behind God. Look how the org. only demands more time, resources, and money. They don't even care about their own people. What about our brothers and sisters in other part of the world who Doesn't have hardly anything to eat or wear clothe? Does the org. helps them in any way? The only thing they tell that people is to wait in Jehovah's kingdom. They don't even provide decent kingdom halls for these pour brothers. In the contrary they encouraged them to donated even what they don't have to please Jehovah and be blessed by Him.
  That is not the way the first century christian behaved. Paul encouraed the brothers blessed with material things to contributed more to help the ones who were poor. But this is not the case.
  Ohhh! But if they helped the brothers in any way they blow the thrompet to let every body know that they are true cristians.
  Looks like they forgat What Jesus said about giving without making an spectacle of that.
  Pharises!

  new, nowhere to turn, ashamed & afraid

  by azzazel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hullo everybody i'm new here, even though i've been lurking now for several months.. i have to say how afraid i am to post, afraid and ashamed but i feel if i dont tell my story, i honestly dont know what may happen to me or my children if they lose me, right now i feel like i've got nowhere left to turn and have my doubts about this place as well.. i know my story will shock you but i cant keep it in any longer.

  i am recently disfellowshipped for immorality, the subject of a kingdom hall witch -hunt and subsequent congregational humiliation, .

  during the process of the judicial committee meetings and proceedings no consideration was given to my real human circumstances nor to the spirit of survival nor human nature nor that of a mother seeking to protect her children from lack of basic fundamentals such as food, shelter and clothing.

  Hi Azzazel!
  I read your post and I really feel empathy for your situation.
  It is shamefull and painfull to confess to a group of elders what you have done. But it is more painfull when people who you thoght where your friend abandoned you. It is sad to become an object of gossiping.
  I know how you feel!
  The worse is when your own heart condenated you for what you have done.
  Please remember what the bible says: If you come back to me I will come back to you. Live what is bad and I will come back to you.
  Pray to God and ask him for fogiveness, and don't worry anymore about that. Put in your mind that God have already forgave what you have done, and try not to do it again.
  Think about how Jesus showed compasion for other and meditate about God love for humanity.
  Remember that maybe you lost a battle but not the war.

  What I Observed Last Night At The Kingdom Hall

  2. friends

  i am still one of jehovah's witnesses and i still attend meetings at the kingdom hall though i am quite disgruntled over many of the society's teachings and the practices that go on in the congregation.

  i have read everything about jw's both pro and con, (i have one of the largest collections of material related to jw's in europe) and i have contributed scholarly articles to the society on many occasions.

  i could talk about many things but i'll just talk about what i observed last night.

  I went to the meeting last tuesday, and I noticed that many of the brothers and sisters were really tired. The meeting was boring and monotonus.
  I think that many of the friends goes to the meetings just as a mechanical process. It looks as if they have already left their minds somewhere else.

  I forgat to tell you that elders usally asked you if You believed that this is Jehovah's Organization?
  Please to avoid confrontation respond Yes!
  They are instructed to ask that question.
  It is very ironic that step of asking if you believed in Jehovah and Jesus they ask you about the org. (What a dogmatic question)

  Depression, Depresion and more Depresion.
  They really feel pity for people with that kind of problems.
  Don't even give them a clue about the real reason. The are good sniffers. Always thanks them for the counsel and tell them that you are going to try to go to the metings.
  Hope everything goes ok for you.

  I am glad to know that my experience is helping you in one or other way. I think that at this point I have already lost all my friends.
  It is hard to see how people just draw away from you thinking that they are been loyal to Jehovah.
  If you decided to step down please give the elder a good excuse, like personal reasons or something else. Just never tell them about your doubts as I did. That could it bring you a lot of troubles.
  I hope everything goes fine for you.

  To be honest with you, I think that these kind of music is very negative, and It does has to do something witn demons.
  Usually that kind of Music leads to Drugs and very negative thinking.
  I had a friend who loved heavy metal until he had a really bad experience with the demons. He was so scared that he trew away all his records.
  So please be careful because there are dangerous things in this life and we can't denied.

  To be honest I felt really good about it. I literally was tired of been pretending. I remember my last meeting with the circuit overseer, the elders and the servants. The C.O asked us why none of the servants or elders were in the construction commite, and encouraged us to participated due to little response from the local brothers. He "encouraged" us to do it. It really sounds more like a threat to me than anything. So it was on that day when I really decided to step down as a servant.
  Today I still a witness, but i am almost inactive.
  Any similar experience?
