ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by gilwarrior in

friends

as most of you know i usually write about sexual matters, but i would like to take this time to write about something serious.

after two months of writing posts and reading others people's posts and have concluded that the jehovah's witness organization purposely prevents people from contact with other people, because that way it is hard for someone to leave the organization.

if everyone you know is in the organization then how can you leave?

DIAMOND

Gil,
I am in that situation right now. Although I don't believe, the price for leaving is high. MY mother and I are close and not being able to talk to her would be devaststing. Then the fact that I would not be a witness anymore would probably kill her. Not to mention that 90% of my friends are witnesses. My barber, my daughters babysitter, my mechanic and about 10 of my workmates all witnesses. Sometimes the stakes are just to high. I'm doing that slow fade thang just so I can keep my friends and family.

My last talk as a JW

by Hmmm in

friends

diamond's thread inspired this idea... at least, this is how i wish my last talk had gone.. next on the school is brother hmmm.

his talk is based on the song of solomon, and his theme is: "be steadfast and faithful, like the shulamite maiden.. "throughout history, babylon the great, the world empire of false religion, has fornicated with the scarlet-colored wild beast.

they have traded support for the league of nations--and it's successor the united nations--for political clout and expediency in furthering their selfish goals.

THAT IS CLASSIC MAN!!!!!

HMMM,

I love option number 3. But you must remember if I had big enough balls to do that I wouldn't be here trying to find the
way out of something that is so obvious. So I think I'm gonna have to choose number 1. Just fade away.

thanks for the reply...I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

Mister Biggs,

I'm so gald you feel me on this. Our lives are running a similar pattern. I think fading away is the best way but by doing
so much in the Hall that is going to be so hard. All my friends of 42 years are witnesses. But I guess I gotta do what I
gotta do. Lets keep tabs and see how one another is doing. Gotta go. Need to go do my Watchtower...Its my turn to
read this Sunday.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury listen to my story then make a wise and fair decision in my case.

I'm a 42 year old male. Been in the truth for 32 years. Married to a witness. Not a real one but she shows up at
game time. My mother has been in the truth forever. We are real close. I'm her ride to all conventions and assemblies.

Problem: I don't beleive this is the truth anymore. Read Crisis of Conscience and visited every web site known to man.
I mentioned my problem to my wife and she went off (of course). I can't take it anymore. I want to write a letter to DA
myself but I don't know howif thats wise. I'm pretty popular with all the congs.in town so just fading away will be a
problem. If I miss a meeting or 2 now people call to see if everything is alright.

My field service time is excellent. I give talks, carry the mikes. I'm incharge of the stage and sound and I read at the
book study. So as you can see I need to make a clean break.

Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to handle the situation so I don't kill my mother and get divorced all in the
sameday.

Help and thanks.
