  Disfellowshipped

  by LadyCCC in

  iam now as what was announced at a recent meeting that iam "no longer a jehovah's witness" all of my family and friends are witnesses so this will ailenate me from all of my friends and family.

  but i feel like i don't want to go back.

  i really hate the feeling of isolation and shamefulness while iam sitting in the meeting, what's the point of it all.

  Armageddon Schmarmageddon!!!

  More tricks and slight of hand they use to keep you in line, and now we're scared? That will go away. We have life now, be grateful for it. Whatever you DECIDE to believe about what comes next, be grateful for your life and be happy.

  I had armageddon nightmares for a couple of years after we quit, it was so ingrained in me-afterall I taught it to people for more than half my life. JWs say that hellfire is a doctrine designed to keep people scared and Catholic, but they themselves pull the same crap and worse on the flock.

  JWs say the elders are different than a paid clergy and are just our brothers, HELL YEAH they're just like my drunken bi-polar brother.

  Congratulations on being 'Fellowshipped', you'll find in time that it is the best thing that could happen to you.

  or express her faith that jehovah will take care of her?

  I like the 'reasonable' line here. A reasonable person, no matter the religion or circumstances, would try to save his own life, would want to live.

  Did you catch what this reasonable family man was earning? She was getting 70% of his pay, $290 per week. This fella was making about $1500 a month, darn near the poverty line. Of course she wants the $290 so she can pioneer.

  Newb Introduction....

  2. friends

  i'd like to formally introduce myself to everyone here,as the title,and my post count reflects...i'm new around here although i think i may have stumbled across the site sometime before i decided to stop going down there at all,because it looks very familiar,i could have sworn i read an article about jw's real involvement in the holocaust on here at some time.

  i've seen some very interesting topics hereabouts,as well as point of views,just wish i would have found you guys sooner so that i could have avoided that whole "thing" down there.

  but anyways,this is my formal "hello" to everyone,and hope we can be friends.

  Hi and welcome.

  I never dreamt that my parents, with whom I was incredibly close, would choose to obey this man-made cult and shun me completely solely because I told them some of what is wrong with their JW religion--I was a card-carrying member. Partly, I wish that I had handled it all differently, but I know I would only have postponed the situation as it is now and was tired of pretending that I still believed it.

  My point is, if you do this, you will lose your friend and eventually your job. The longer you can NOT care about that of which he is a member apart from work, the longer you will have him in your life, and as good friends are truly hard to find, I hope that is for a very long time.

  The chance that he will listen to the facts and see it for what it is, is sooooo slim, you will only hurt yourself. And he will simply tread away in self-righteousness, gloating that he squashed Satan's attempt to weaken his faith, and he will never give you another thought. But, you will be crushed.

  Be happy with what you have. That's my opinion.

  COULD YOU HANDLE LIFE ALONE?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you mate died suddenly or left you, could you handle life alone?

  would you remain single or get married again?

  i ask this because my brother in law's witness mom just died recently, and we're wondering how his dad is going to handle life alone now.
