  How to get rid of a JW

  by moomanchu in

  1. social
  2. humour

  a chalk outline of a human body on the pavement, and a few copies of "the watchtower" scattered around.... answer every one of their questions with "what do you mean by that?

  " this might take a while, but you and your loved ones can have fun placing bets on how long it takes for them to leave.. when they ask, "can i talk to you about god?

  " reply, "sure, what would you like to know?

  Should I admit to JWs that I am disfellowshipped?

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know about 2000 jws in sydney, and have 50 that are tax clients, so barely a week goes by without bumping into someone i know.

  it seems that few of them realise that i am disfellowshipped because they talk freely to me.

  last week i accidently sat next to an elder on the train and we engaged in small talk for over 30 minutes.. should i admit to these people that i am not a jw?.

  so at long last i've converted my childhood friend from being an apologist to being a near apostate.

  lemme tell you how that happened.

  this guy and i debate almost daily the virtues of being one of "jehovah's people.

  A bit reluctant

  by saki2fifty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a bit reluctant in writing this post, for i dont feel i should be here.

  even a bit nervous... .

  i've never officially dedicated myself to jehovah, but i was brought up in the truth, very strong, and at times when getting older, there were lulls in my attendance... yet to this day i still attend.

  the bitternes so often expressed here, even mockingly and something i am occassionly guilty of bothers me tremendosly. I also grew up around jw and have a deep love for them and the organization. was a ms a pioneer and a bethelite once. but the truth is it really doesn't add up no matter how much we want it to. and it brings great pain to us all which unfortunately gets masked with bitterness and mockery. read "crissis of conscience" and hang in there it will make you sick but keep searching. Jehovah still loves you and this site will start to comfort you.

  i was df bout a year back and have since been enlightened by a life long friend.

  i am leaning toward returning anyway but mostly for familyand friends.

  i recognize the hypocrisy of this move but also don't feel that i should be subject to there authority and in my current state i am.

  not exactly i would just preffer to be known as not a witness because i dont want to be rather than i messed up and i think the influence they bare on suppressing my relationships even if its from the other side is still a form of authority

  i was df bout a year back and have since been enlightened by a life long friend. i am leaning toward returning anyway but mostly for familyand friends. i recognize the hypocrisy of this move but also don't feel that i should be subject to there authority and in my current state i am. in addition i would much preffer to leave at some future time due to an informed stand rather than be put out due to there standards of conduct. what are your opinions
