My Bethel Experience Part 6
by new boy ini 'm sorry all of this is not in order.............i'm writing as all this comes back to me.. my first room assignment was room 33 in the 129 building....it was and old building, built around the turn of the century,...the society owned it but it had worldly people in to.......i'm not sure why but maybe there was a law that provented them from being kicked out or something.
it was a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment (about 1000 sq.
ft.) there were 7 of us in there, all new boys ( less then one year there).

New Boy!!! You came back to us! Sorry I did not respond earlier, but my mom & aunt just paid me a visit.
I guess you have not read my profile, but I'm happily married to an ex-bethelite and yes I do like older man which has always been a wonder to me how I ended up with my husband who is only 2.5 years older than me.

I feel bad about being a part of this...
by sibboleth inseveral years ago, approx 1995, i was a newbie elder - age 29 and was just doing the "yes man" duties around the hall.
there was the overbearing po who was the "king" of the congo and whatever he said was gospel... if he didn't like you - you were history... needless to say - i kissed his butt and moved up the ladder quite easily.
we had another newbie elder - in his late 40's - and he was a smart man.

Gymbob, that is horrible! How dare that PO make that announcement regarding his own daughter! You mentioned that your nephew stopped going to the meetings, but what about the girl did she stopped too?

As a little girl I remember the sister who gave my mom studies saying that when Armegedon comes the babies from unbelievers will perish as well because most likely the child will end up being an unbeliever like the parents. I don't have any actual publishings supporting this statement or that of the blood...sorry.

Say You're a Bethelite & Monitoring JWD - How Would You Feel About THESE??
by Seeker4 ini'm talking about the new posters, like kitten whiskers, who started posting today (hope this works: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/120817/1.ashx).
and it seems like we're getting a few like this nearly every day.
people who were raised jws, really worry that they are doing the right thing in leaving, yet who have been made to feel not good enough by the wts, who felt they never measured up, who struggled with it, but came to realize that what they'd been brought up to believe was just not the truth.. the same stories are told over and over again, and they come from sincere, good people - not whiny, fault-finding apostates like the rest of us riffraff around here!

PopeOfEruke, I wonder alot of times if this is a test. That we are living in the last days, and the bible does states that many will fall. I sometimes think I'm probably one of the fallen ones. Sometimes I think that there is no excuse for me leaving, that I should know that the organization is imperfect and should have faith and be humble.

Hi Everyone, I can't believe I'm getting the nerve to chat on this site! I am an inactive sister who has not gone to any of the meetings in the last three years. My husband and I contemplate on the idea of going back to meetings, but I've read too much already and I'm confused and have doubts about certain teachings....I feel very scared that I've committed the ultimate, unforgiving sin of doubting Jehovah's organization. My husband believes this to be the only "truth" but is hesitant about going because is afraid of facing the elders and being judged for being a former bethelite among other things. My mother is an active witness and knows our situation but does not get involved, she wants to keep peace within the family. My in-laws, on the other hand, are what you call your typical judging, sort of fanatic JW. They recently found out that we are cold and are trying to get us to move to the new state they now live in.
