Do you like yourslef?
by R.Crusoe ini find this question another i hate to think of!!.
i view myself through others which is a reality of zilch so it is bad karma for me to consider it!.
maybe its circumstantial of many life events but i'll bet exjws feel the power of the above dynamic as a negative force for humanitarian ectics and personal self worth!

I have a great deal of self confidence & I like that. It helps me to do what I do for me & my family. There is about 10% of what I do and the way I think that worries me. I suppose we all have our dark moments.

Issues That Made You ANGRY While You Were A Jehovah's Witness
by minimus inwhen i look back, i think of some things that really angered me about the organization.
i was raised as a witness and i was taught from a very early age that "reaching out" was the most important things i could do in life.
i was to reach out for "privileges" and get baptized.

People who were in a position of influence who were basically bullies. Nothing spiritual about them. If they were in the world they would be no-mark bastards. But hey, they got me to waken up & get me out of the org. Fannies.

I can understand that you are in an awkward position at the moment. You are obviously well intentioned in relation to your family & this may work out. I really hope it does. However, I wouldn't bank on the members of the congregation being in wonderment about the holy spirit & it's role in appointing elders. From my experience, it is one of those areas which is easily explained away. I have even had people tell me that certain (evil, hideous) elders WERE appointed by holy spirit so that god can put peoples faith to the test. What can you achieve with this sort of mindset? I wish you well. Please keep us posted.

'Even when they see us on the ministry yet don't answer the door; they know who we are. That is a witness in itself'. In actual fact, they are simply wanting to avoid a conversation with a religious nut job.

I have to say that was one of the most compeling life stories I have ever read. That because it summed up a great deal of my feelings & observations about the truth. For instance (& not entirely your experience), I was that ministerial servant who was giving 'good talks' & wondering how the brothers would feel about my atheism & utter disdain for religion. How would they feel about my drinking 3 bottles of wine per week, in addition to a few half bottles of whiskey & a good few packs of beer? Also, your conversations with my wife were similar. Even now after 2 years when we talk in a calm and logical manner, I can see in her eyes that she views my coherant, logical opinions on the bible/religion/WTS as the devils voice. How frustrating that is. I wish you well in your future.

Remember the "last warning for Babylon the Great" WT series of four?
by kitten whiskers ini remember a series of four watchtowers that we "zealously" placed to issue the "final warning to babylon the great".
they all had pictures (if i remember correctly) of the harlot in revelation.
i think the pictures were all taken from the revelation climax book.

They had a few pictures of some slut drinking wine & riding a wild animal. It doesn't really mean that much to your average person on the street, does it? JW's are terrible for thinking that their pronouncements actually mean something to people, en mass. They reach a very small number of the human race with their bullshit. Thank alistair for that!

JW nostalgia?
by R.Crusoe inlots of 'worldly humans look back with affection and positive emotion at their past life and loves and adventures!
this is especially true for periods in life humans have often devoted themselves to!.
it is lovely to see and hear ones with natural experiences and happiness to relate!.

There were happy times as a JW. Yet, as I look back at what I could have been enjoying when I declined all non-JW contact, it makes me angry. Angry that I put up with so much shit in the cong & at the same time lost out on some cherished family memories. Also, My JW experience screwed my brain for a while. The good times are unfortunately overshadowed by that.
