Elder is calling friends, JC any day now!

by BurnTheShips in

yes, i have been working on "the fade" since before my baby was born in january and trying to keep as low a profile as i can.

will be moving out of the neighborhood soon and i had hoped to disappear.

so anyways, leaving the dubs has not made me lose my faith in god or christ.

You ought to have seen the look on the bs conductor when he asked me for my time so i told himthe time on my watch, when he got more specific I told him I don't turn in time and won't Matthew 6th chapter et al.

LOL thats funny. The last they asked me for my time was in June (over the phone) and I said I did not have anything I cared to turn in but "Jehovah always knows what we do".

Maybe I don't believe religion is bull$&@$, but like anything else of importance, it can be abused.

Amazingly, my wife does not care any more. She is mentally out too. And since we started to fade, we do more things together that we did not do as dubs. For example, we now have a weekly family bible study. We are actually reading John without the WT blinders on. Its amazing what you see when you take those off.

We are also praying together more. It seems like we are more spiritual people now that we actually focus on God and not on what a man made org demands of us.

A JC and a formal DA or DF would sure cut off the ties and give me a chance to testify to the elders, maybe I could plant a seed.
On the other hand, as I told my wife, I do not recognize their ecclesiastical authority and am therefore in no way bound to accede to meet with them.

Yes, I have been working on "the fade" since before my baby was born in January and trying to keep as low a profile as I can. Will be moving out of the neighborhood soon and I had hoped to disappear. So anyways, leaving the dubs has not made me lose my faith in God or Christ. I have been using this time to explore several churches in the area. But oh-oh, looks like someone saw me walk out of a local church yesterday morning and called the illdoers from my congo.

How did I find out? Well instead of calling me directly, they are calling a sister (actually she is wavering and is only in for fear of family) that is a good friend of my wife's and grilling her as to whether we have been attending "other churches". She said no. My question is, how did he know to ask that question?

He then said that they have called us "several times" to meet with us, (This is BS, I was called once and said "I am t0o busy this week")and that they have come to my house several times but we are never home (thank God). My question is:
Why do they snoop around and not call me directly?

I generally like all the elders I have known, and the ones in the congo I am fading from are generally well intentioned people (and seriously overwrought by the responsibilities, I pity them), but the snooper is this pharisaical pushy showoff young brownoser elder that was transferred in to "help". He is of the kind that just wants privileges to be over others. The kind that wants to be a CO before he is 40. He is the only elder I have ever really disliked (I can hardly keep it off of my face) in 30+ years of dubdom (my entire life)and several different congos over that span.

I was an MS until I stepped down last September. Accounts Servant-which IMHO is the heaviest charge an MS can have. This year, I only attended KH once so that the brothers could meet the baby and we went to the Memorial because my wife insisted (since then her transition to the Dark Side is complete).

Maybe my fade is too steep?

Anyway, I just wanted to spout.

Thanks.

Proof of God's existence

by Blackboo in

from a logical point....i notice that in these threads that there are few here who dont believe in god..but i hate to tell you your dead wrong for having such an ignorant belief like that..instead ya,ll are blaming religion, people, and your personal problems for your lack of faith in god..thats dead wrong.

the non-believers are not looking at the whole picture..just the present..the things that go on in the world happen for a reason and it doesnt mean god doesnt exist.

the bible says "the fool has said in his heart god doesnt exist".

How did you dispose of your JW books? (Or did you?)

by exwitless in

little drummer boy and i have a small house and we do not have room for the wasted space all of these books are creating.

here's a brief rundown of what we have:.

several nwt hardcover bibles, chinese bibles (lots of chinese students in our town), insight on the scriptures, concordances, a few bound volumes, song books, km books, reasoning books, the entire bible on audio tape, and more.

I burned mine. There were so many. It is amazing how much you collect over the years.

Here is an English translation: However against the witnesses Jehovas Margit Rolf fights against its former faith companions WIEBKE STREHLOW They prayed, sang their kingdom songs in such a way specified and learned, how one applies the Bible to its own life. While scarcely 14400 witnesses Jehovas met on weekend to the congress "consequence the Christ after" in the HSV arena, a woman sat alone before it. Margit Rolf (53) - 15 years long "witness". Now it fights with the "table reserved for regulars of the former witnesses Jehovas" against its "sisters" and "brothers". Nobody looks at the ex faith companion. Nobody greets it. Only one man stops within three days at its conditions. "that was very courageous. It will probably have consequences for it. Who has contact with Abtruennigen, from the community ", says Margit Rolf is excluded. They and their four children are for several years "Abtruennige". They left the community. 1995 daughter Melanie (29) made the beginning. "I could not do simply no more. I did not have childhood, no youth. It always meant only prays, Bible studies and to meetings of the witnesses goes ", says the woman. Their nut/mother stepped out a few years later, after their children had accused it again and again that them would have robbed them of their childhood. Today Margit Rolf members, that do not create it from own strength, wants to help with the door. The 53-Jaehrige for the children of "witnesses" makes itself particularly strong. Flog and punishments are at the agenda. "it is even desired that one strikes its children. In a Bible verse it means: , do not contain your son the rod of the breed vor.` that take the witnesses Jehovas very seriously ", says Margit Rolf. Its daughter Melanie knows, what it is called, as a child into the religious community to be born. "one has the whole time fear to make somewhat wrong. Because it is said to one that Jehova sees everything and then one does not come to death into the paradies. And into the paradies to come the most important for one, a witness ' ", is says the 29-Jaehrige. Joern Puttkammer, Hamburg speaker of the witnesses Jehovas, felt the conditions of Margit Rolf not as disturbing. "we live in a democracy. That may make this woman, and she must decide it stop. I however already find the mission eagerness amusing against the witnesses Jehovas, if one were times in the community." (MOPO of 16.07.2007/PAGE 14-15)
