there is a limit to how much straw (long yellow grass) a camel can carry on its back.
if you keep putting more straw on top, it will finally break the camel's back.
when you are at the last straw you are finally angry and will not take any more.. my moment (to stop attending all watchtower meetings) was after the harsh treatment from the elders and fellow congregation members of my second cousin who was disfellowhipped as a teenager.

One final straw after another!
A big straw was the illustration of the organisations structure - you know? GB at the top in deluxe leather boardroom chairs....No Jesus (surely you'd expect at least a nod to him in the illustration - aren't they Christian?) it got me on an emotional level - it felt like they were absolutely mocking us.

You stated: My last straw with him was when he sent me 20 days of sermons and Bible verses instead of directly answering all of my questions regarding what had been going on between us for 5 years.
Can you elaborate? Was he bullying you,sexually harassing or was there a romance that needed to end?

My moment (to stop attending all Watchtower meetings) was after the harsh treatment from the Elders and fellow congregation members of my second cousin who was disfellowhipped as a teenager. I wrote two topics on this site years ago about his cruel treatment and how it really bothered me to no end.That was the moment ''that broke the camel's back'' for me.I haven't been to any meetings since then.
My cousin passed away last week from cancer at the age of 49. The cancer spread so fast it took our family by surpise. We figured she had a couple of years instead of months. She left 4 children(3 were baptised and 1 was disfellowshipped a couple of years ago).
Dealing with the death of their mother was bad enough but the conduct of the congregation Elders made it worse. The disfellowshipped child had to:
* leave the house when his mother died because Witness relatives were coming over to the house to visit the family.
* had to stay on the side of the funeral room at the wake by himself while the rest of the family sat in the front chairs.
* Elders refused to greet him in the line. They walked right past him.
*He was told not to attend the luncheon after the funeral. He left alone and went home because some members would not attend the lunch if he was there.

as religious group cashes in, former councilman lashes out.

Yassky couldn’t recall to what extent the promise of improvements was put in writing
“They argued that they deserved deference as a religious organization, and they got that deference from the city.

The whole objective of this photo is to show how the family left all the comforts of home to a place where ''the need is greater."
What I see is the mom,dad and daughter all happy eyeing at a map of the family's new destination.The boy is looking away and holding and petting the dog.Why isn't he looking at the map and excited as the rest of the family?Why isn't the dog in any other picture with the family? They could of included the dog in another picture but the ''writers'' wanted to show that the family left everything,even the dog for this ''greater need'' bullshit!

Papa: "I'm sorry but Fluffy has to stay here. We will have to give him away or give him to a shelter.Don't you see how much it costs to feed Fluffy.The vet bills alone will save us enough money so we can spend more on field service gas money.Plus,who will watch Fluffy while we spend all our waking hours at meetings and field service."

been catching up on some jw reading and found a gem in the november study wt in the first article, paragraph #11:.
yet, you might look beyond the obvious and ask yourself, does my child enjoy the ministry or only the breaks?
if you discern that the ministry could be more interesting or more rewarding for your children, set goals with them.
Dad,I love field service! We wasted one hour at a coffee shop,walk slower than a turtle,fake knock on doors and walk past householders that are in front of our eyes.This seems too easy!
not sure if this was posted before... but apparently for the wt a woman's smaller cranium than a man's shows she was designed to be in submission to the man!!
unbelievable he dared to say such things!.
