Well done on leaving this wacky org. The masturbation bit just adds to the long list of weird and wonderful experiences of ex-JW`s. Was she a lesbo? The pioneer?
Welcome and give us your funny stories mate.

I`m perplexed; What legislates for the gross lack of love?
by jambon1 ini`ve been out of the org for a while now and im perplexed about why there is such a lack of genuine live in the cong`s.
when you think about it, they are taught to exemplify jc, they are taught to exemplify the 'god of love'.
the brothers are constantly encouraged at ms & elder meetings to deal with the brothers 'lovingly'.

Jam, Good post. I hope you write a pointed post with specific examples of the Witness behaviors you saw.
OK, Here goes.
One example.
One very close family member had came into the twooth to escape the bad old world. She was very young. We encouraged her in, imagining that it would cure her of her problems.
Well, it did. She was extremely happy after some kind, sincere attention and an amount of spectator love-bombing. She was in the truth & happy.
Some people moved into the cong who were leading lights on the circuit. Well known. After taking her under her wing they tried to mold her into their ultra pious and spiritualy bigoted ways. We always tried to balance things up at the other end so she would not become like them. Anyway, after a time she began to resist their spiritual policing in her life and made some very good friends over the circuit. Became quite well known and very much liked by all her new friends.
These bastards took exeption to this and became jelous of her success (spiritually) because they couldnt claim the plaudits. They were also jelous of her popularity among the young ones in the circuit.
Another situation arose that involved this family member and I can honestly say that it was not her fault. Again, it was connected to unjustified jealousy.
Well, they made her life hell. Snide comments, moulding talks to have a go at her and her friends, gossiping and just general badness.
This young gilr`s confidence was shattered because of these jelous, pious, ego-centric bastards. It took her 2 years to get over their maliciousness.
Every assembly, you would see these characters giving their talks and demonstrations on the platform and you we would hate them. Then feel bad for hating them!!
The point is; this was an innocent young girl who at 1st saw nothing but the good in the truth and yet, through time, she was treated terribly by a few nutters. Of course, they tell you that the onnus is on YOU to forgive, but sometimes its hard to see why people have acted in these ways. She is still in and persevering. In my case, it was the beginning of the end.
COMPLETE & UNJUSTIFIED HATE.

You may get baptised but believe me, you will question it all in a few years.
Then you will feel like you are in a prison.
Or
You can honestly examine what is posted here and save yourself the heartache. This is coming from someone who a few years ago would have never contemplated leaving the truth. Im glad I did leave now.
Either way, you will always be welcome here.

My congregation took the counsel to heart and became very frosty. A few years later a different Co got up on the platform and told us all off for not being very friendly as a congregation!

It's time for the Queen to sack the Labour Government
by truthseeker inthe situation in the uk is desire, particularly within the nhs - up to 13,000 jobs may go while consultants are paid 700,000 pounds to close hospitals.. the labour party is in ruins, blair, prescott and clarke have lost confidence.. council tax has doubled since its introduction in 1993, yet services have been cut or eliminated.
homeowners are at risk of higher council tax if the government goes ahead and rebands them, because of higher house prices.
first time buyers are at record lows, and house prices are 6 times the average income.. rail fares go up 8% year on year, more than your paycheck.. immigration is putting strain on services.

I was told that elders in a JC always look to extend mercy if at all possible.
JW`s do regularly preach about the transcending love that exists in their cong`s - so different to the cold old system.
Also, some of the chapters in the 'draw close to Jehovah' publication certainly were very pointed in ways of demonstrating brotherly love. I felt, when I was in, that this book was a breath of fresh air. I was looking for changed attitudes after it was studied, but to no avail.
The pettyness, gossip/slander, favouritism, face-has-to-fit syndrom, and in some cases pure hate, seems to go on and on despite some good articles/publications.
So why?
The only conclusion I have came to is that people are so desperately unhappy in whatever cage they may be in as JW`s that they vent anger towards others.
Or is it because they 'good' articles are far outshone by the 'bad' ones that encourage strange and unloving conduct. (not that they see it that way).
Anyone?
