there is a lot of judging and testing in your perspective. very unhealthy, emotionally and spiritually. righteousness and goodness are very different. to be righteous would be to follow rules. to be good, transcends rules.

Untolerable, Unheard of and down right Unbelievable experiences

by REBORNAGAIN in

has anyone experienced something really outrageous among the jw's that you want to share?.

we once had a couple of jw's follow us (policeing us) as we were on our way to my (then, he's now my ex) husband's boss's home.

his boss wanted us over for an end of the year party and didn't consider it a christmas party because he knew we didn't celebrate christmas.

sure right cyd, i cant believe it myself. the ELDER brother (who choked me in front on my bible study), and the teenage brother, both didnt say a word to me. just walked up and started choking me. strange...... oh, geez, now i am starting to remember more incidents. but, i am happy now. i have love all around me. there was the incident....after i was disfellowshipped. a married brother Cain, called me and wanted us to "hook up" . Another brother Isaiah, after i was reinstated....he would call me .....to see if we could "hook up". Once, when a group of elders were counseling me about Elder Dove and not to be friendly....i didnt understand.....then after a while....i got it.....Married Elder Dove had told another elder (and i didnt even know this, total surprise) that he wanted to take me to Mexico and leave his wife. Well, Elder Muskrat was very strong about not talking to brothers or hanging around them. I told him at this "meeting" that if that were the case, why did last week, he take me in his truck, by himself, to go joy riding around the district convention, when i thought he was just taking me to my assignment. He said his wife found out and he was already admonished about his conduct. but, i didnt even get an apology. I tell you the list goes on. I was told to leave this congregation and the new congregation was warned about me.

i have lots of stories. and i too felt very picked on and made a scapegoat. but, funny thing was ..... the brothers wanted to fool around with me because they believed i was a bad girl. one day i was walking up to my studies house. and who was on the block, but an elder and a brother. the elder comes up to me, and in front of my study, without saying a word, starts choking me. i kept saying "stop! stop!" i was bent over trying to get him off and away from me. he finally let go. i was mad and embarressed. i told him "what is wrong with you!" and he acted as if he didnt do anything. Then, a couple of weeks later. i am at the KH talking to a new brother and this teenage brother comes up to me and starts choking me. Yes, literally, his hands on my neck, choking me. the new brother was shocked. i kept saying "stop, stop". he had me bent over and facing the floor. the new brother finally said "hey, uh, you should let her go". when the teenage brother let go. i said "what is wrong with you, dont ever touch me". But, this is not the only time, and also in different congregations where brothers have physically bullied me, a young, single sister , alone in the truth. 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighing 107 pounds.

My JW Experience

by V1710 in

i've been lurking here for a few years on and off.

i faded from the borg seven years ago and haven't had one regret since.

the only regret i have is wasting twenty years of my life and my children's lives.

Hello v1710,

thank you for having the courage to share.

You know that kinda gay guy in your old hall?

by changeling in

jw
friends

you know him, every hall has one.. he really knows fashion.

he hangs out with all the middle aged women at the hall.

his gait, voice and gestures are feminine.. if he were a "wordly" man he'd be a "flamer".. well, here's my question: is he or isn't he?

Lease

yes. there was 2 brothers in the hall. they moved in together as roommates. brother #1 married. but, shortly afterwards, divorced and moved in with a wordly guy and was df'd for being gay. the brother #2 mourned the loss. Brother # 2 became super zealous. had this spacey look in his eyes, like he couldnt see you but was into his own thoughts and talked about going to Bethel. he went to bethel shortly afterward. last i heard he married about 5 years ago to a sister from canada. he was 40 years old when he married ( 40 year old virgin) and i heard she was 45 or older.
