Our hall had three levels, used by many congregations. The restrooms were downstairs, that where we got the beatings. The brothers serving as attendance were instructed to keep the doors of the main hall closed in order not to cause distraction...

This is how JW's view the change in the book study
by TooBad TooSad ina very good friend of mine is convinced that the change in the book study arrangement.
is a sign that the end is so near and the jehovah made the change to emphasize the.
importance of the meetings.

They are not all supportive ...The ones in my family think that the G B have lost their marbles, or that Satan has infitrated again, "Like he did the 80's with your friend Ray Franz!"
I wonder how many more thibnk that way..

The one thing that disturbs me the most about JWs. Why can't they see it?
by MinisterAmos inever since day one of our jw experience, we have all been prayed to by the bro on-stage at least twice per meeting.
have any of you ever really listened to what they are asking from god?
at the start of my association the prayers were pretty generic, but now *every* one asks that god only provide for other witnesses.

Followers of a religion come together to worship,
followers of cults like the wt come together to be organised in uniformity..
the relationship to god is not the focus. Only the interest of the Society is what is considered and prayed for. The world is evil and doomed anyway.
In reality jws don't worship god, they serve the gb for free!

As A Former JW, Do You Feel You Should "Apologize" For Past Actions?
by minimus indo you believe that you should now apologize for whatever actions you made when you were a witness?.
do you think that if you were an elder that you should contact those that might've felt oppressed by you and your "theocratic" actions?.
if you were a zealous preacher, do you now feel you should go back to your former bible students and tell them the error of your ways?.

Well, I was born in too. Though indoctrinated, right or wrong, I still have a strong urge to apologise. To me it is the right thing to do. Not knowing I have wronged someone, it was still hurtful and I think she deserves to be told that it was bad and very wrong...

Minimus, ...good questions!
when I faded I first quit meeting attendance and gave up all responsibilities (MS, pioneer), but since I had a few bible studies (lovely people) I continued meeting with them. I didn't feel like I was serving jehovah, but rather the elders. FS was the only thing which made me fell like I was close to god. (After the military US and GB left we had Search Territories, mine had many international student homes -the students know how to ask good questions and do real research. It was great discussing with them!)
Sooner or later I just couldn't encourage them towards the "truth" and I had to tell them the reasons why I had to stop our discussions. That actually helped me a lot, it gave me a clearer picture and good conscience also towards myself. It was a good experience, because they were very understanding and I had a chance to speak to someone which was not possible with my family and other jws.Every time I think of this I feel very bad. I would love to be able to apologise to d'fed ones I did not greet or speak to. Especially a young girl I grow up with, who went through hell (little did I know at that time). My family visited her family and she stood outside the house to see us (was kicked out with 17y) we all walked pass her without even looking at her. She bursted out crying, and her brother went to huge her. The whole thing was so terrible and unfair.
I hope she is fine and has a good life now. If ever I meet her, there is so much I would love to tell her.fts

New Here
by LearningMore ini have been lurking here for a couple of months.
i was born and raised as a witness, and am a little weirded out to even be posting on here (you know the paranoia).
anyway, i faded about 10 years ago, and after reading so many posts, i am so happy that it was a pretty uneventful experience.

Great video, conversations like those happen ever so often.
When I started fading I meat up with a d'f person. He said he wants to get reinstated, since the generation has almost died out and time is running out. I told him, thats not what we teach. He insisted we do and showed me the liveforever book with its definite statements. I asked if he has the wt volume '95, found the article and asked him to take a look...fts
