  Death and Ex-JWs

  by Mysterious in

  2. friends

  it's a long weekend so it's time to bring out a big issue, death.

  i know it's something most ex-jws (at least for a while) struggle with when they exit the organization.

  i think a weird moment for me was yesterday when my boyfriend's parents called.

  We can all see that when we die this physical body deteriorates and disappears. Some of us hope that our spirit, soul moves on to someplace better. No one can prove that we do as far as I have seen. Given the above I try not to spend to much time thinking about it. If you have your health enjoy the life you have today. Dont worry about the life you may or may not have 100 years from now.

  What I make out of that is that the Jews run this world.They are very clanish and stick together more than other groups. Being jewish is a nationality. Being muslim is belonging to various nationalities ascribing to a foolish thought process.

  you men, now that you're out of the witnesses do you still find yourself wearing neckties?

  are you keeping them?

  how about suits, do you ever wear them anywhere?.

  i remember at an assembly someone saying "oh yeh thats such and such, he's annointed...you can really tell" or something like that.. are those claiming, that they are annointed nutters?

  So now Watchtower attorneys can accept awards from the Canadian government? Whatever happened to being "no part of the world"?

  The watertower society picks and chooses, like all man made religions whats convienient for them on any given day. How else could they maintain their hypocracy?

  is it better to fade or just move on with your life?

  i have been fading for over a year because most of my close family is still in.

  i would never meet with the elders or write a letter to quit.

  Is it better to fade or just move on with your life? Why cant you do both. It sounds like you got the fading part down. Now just move on. And I agree totally, dont play by their rules, dont meet with them, the elders, dont talk with them, dont answer your door. You dont owe those jerks anything. In time they will forget about you. Thats what they did with me. I never got disfellowshipped, which is more of a consideration for my wife as she comes from a large Itallian family which is 50% witnesses and 50% not so my wife and I can still socialize with the family when she wants to. I walked away in 83 and her witness family never brings it up anymore, and they will talk to me. Of course they are shallow people so as I said my associating with them is just a consideration for my wife. Probally more a typical inlaw type deal that takes place in all families.Good luck.

  Religion---your personal view

  going from one religion to another

  as a former jehovah's witness have you been enticed to consider another religion perhaps, seeking to find "the truth" ?

  this is a dilemma that certain individuals.

  Personally I dont think there are any satisfying answers out their to the profound deep questions. I would suspect man does not have the capacity to understand whats going on. Probably as a cow doesnt know hes being raised to be slaughtered and eaten. I am 53 and have been looking for answers all my life. Every road comes up empty. And I spend a lot of time searching and will continue to search. Its like trying to find eternal life in this dimension. It doesnt exist. And either does the truth regarding our existence. Even if you find some good people in your quest that doesnt mean you found the truth. Ultimately people and organizations will likely let you down.
