  Am I angry? Hell, yes!

  why are departing jw's bitter?

  i say the bitterness is directly proportional to the amount of emotional committment we made to their teachings.

  if we accepted them wholeheartedly, the bitterness was immense as we discovered the lies and coverups, while getting the blame on the missed date predictions, and seeing the ever-increasing legalistic structure of the society, not to even mention the shunning by loved ones who still remain.

  Didn't JW's do the "updating" thing with the Babylon book like the Rev book

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  maybe some of the oldtimers might remember, but i seem to remember in the early 1980's that the wts "updated" the babylon the great book where many of the old light was thrown out.

  i was a teenager but i remember studying the book again in the 80's and some jw's were upset by the changes.

  if they do the same thing with the revelation grand climax book aren't they afraid that those oldtimers might get disgusted and leave the org?

  Is it time for apostasy to get organised?

  by nicolaou in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i like things the way they are right now.

  the watchtower are never sure which direction the next 'assualt' will come from and we often get the jump on them.

  but i was wondering if, in addition to all the solo efforts, it might be time to set up something a little more permanent.. i know that my disfellowshipping is only a matter of time - perhaps months - and when it happens i'll have the freedom to act in a way that i cannot risk at present.

  FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE vs GOVERNING BODY

  by plmkrzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i copied this from wikipedia so i hope the pic of the chart shows up.

  it is interesting to read things about the religion in a completely unbiased format.

  it puts things/sheds light in a more simplified manor.

  Anxiety symptoms

  by Silvia Plath in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ever since i stopped my study i have gotten completely depressed, unable to sleep, i really depended on my study group to keep me sane and give me purpose but now my bi-polar symptoms have come back with a vengeance.

  i thought about going to another church because ruminuating on a creator did help me sleep at night and now i have not slept for four days.

  i never realized how much i was becoming dependent on the religious structure.
