  Angry at first

  by BeautifulMind in

  so when my mom died in 2007 the main thing that kept me from losing it was that i knew i would see her again in the earthly paradise that i read and sang about in the jw publications.

  i honestly fully believed in it.

  we were best friends and it was devastaing to lose her.

  Beautiful mind,

  My dad died 18 months ago and within a week they had me in a kingdom hall,and prayed on my emotions and mental torture i was going through, by drumming it into me that one day soon id see my daddy again,i am horrified and just like you devastated that i know now i was fed a pack of bs.

  It really hurts,i was also daddys girl and i miss him everyday,i feel your pain,i hope one day they all wake up to the fact that they ruin so many peoples lives,i got lucky i didnt get dunked im an unbaptised publisher trying to get out.

  Wish you all the best.x

  Geoffrey Jackson: "That would be presumptuous of us"...

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  within the first few minutes, mr. stewart asked geoffrey jackson if the members of the governing body consider themselves to be god's spokesperson on earth.. his response: "that would be presumptuous of us" (implying that they don't consider themselves to be god's sole channel of communication).. to me, that was the worst lie of about 26 lies he's told during this hearing.

  however, mr. stewart missed an opportunity to call out mr. jackson on this bold-faced lie.

  he should have asked him to explain why the watchtower magazine teaches otherwise.

  Sydney Morning Herald Headline about Compensation for Victims May Cause JW Organization to Gasp

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  geoffrey jackson's unfailingly diplomatic responses during friday's royal commission hearings have undoubtedly limited damage to the reputation of the jw organization - but i could never again imagine the watchtower and awake!

  magazines criticizing other religions over their responses to child sexual abuse within their parishes.

  too close for comfort.

  as i write this,im aware of my heart hammering in my chest.ok where shall i start,ill try to keep this as short as possible.ive never been religious before in my life,the occasional wedding or funeral was the only time ive been in a church or viewed a bibles cover.in 2013 my step-dad was diagnosed with cancer and had to go for an operation to remove the tumor.i became close to his nephew and we communicated a lot and had a few strong feelings for each other,but neither of us told anyone,it was just harmless flirting and a few hugs that lasted a bit longer than normal.two days after my dads operation,he died through complications,and my path of self destruct was set.my boss had also been sexually harassing me at work and i was unfairly dismissed and was told by my landlord that i was to pay the rent or be evicted.then out of the blue my cousin tells me he was an unbaptised publisher (he was baptised at the aug convention last year)and to start having faith in god,that it would all work out.so i went to a kh and took up a study.that was a year ago and they now feel im ready to become a publisher.the thing is..i was made homless and am living with a jw of 50 years,a real spiritual person.these last two months ive been researching and i simply like you all disagree with so much of it.for the past twi weeks ive avoided meetings because of work,or pretended im at work and stayed away from the home i have with this witness.i cant afford to leave but at same time im being pushed to go into ministry and meetings.guys what the hell am i going to do?im so trapped scared and i cant believe i wanted to get baptised!

  !my son lives with his dad and there trying to get a hold on him when he visits me!

  Thank you all so much for your kind words.I agree that i was easy pickings for them to make me think that its gods will ive been put in a safe environment with witnesses,and that i was made to get rid of bad association (old friends) what they dont know is that im still in close contact with one of them.Ive even been warned (all of us have by wt) to stay away from social netwotking sites also.The elders have even stated that those on social networking sites are being closely watched and things are getting back to them!! Ive had offers of money and offers of being taken for meals and i know this is to try and keep me.Ive questioned scriptures like most of you here and also hit brick walls,i even asked that question of prayer and why cant god eliminate cancer if billions of us are praying for a cure!!or to have rid of it.Anyway i am in the uk and i didnt know that for a lawsuit against an employer over harassment has to be done within 12 weeks and i was out of time.

  I have found another job in January (was told that jehovah did this for me) and i work about thirty hours a week so im saving like mad to try to get away,the elders have just put me on ministry school and i know soon itll be announced im a publisher.I wish i had never got involved with them.When my cousin was baptised i turned around and said congrats,your a$$ belongs to the wt now!! Thank you all so much i can see this society for what it really is!! X
