  C.O. is in town, the harassment begins...

  2. friends

  i haven't been to meetings in a long time (trying to fade).

  ever so often i do run into a witness or 2 who are friendly, but reserved (after all i am considered in active).

  anyway, my hubby & i are currently working on a letter to send to the society that will more then likely get us df'd or disassociated (same thing i guess).

  Changes at NY Bethel

  by architect in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  last dec 2005, the ny bethel gave talks indicating that they had to downsize (word is mine) due to "improved technology" and that as a result of this simplification some bethel family members would be invited to serve in the united states field in various assignments at various congregations where the excellent training they have recieved at bethel could be put to use and contribute much to the preaching and disciple making work.. what do you make of this?.

  i wonder how they would determine who stays or goes?.

  are there any former bethel members out there who can comment on rather this would be an easy transistion for those who have to leave?.

  i was born into a violent abusive JW family

  by ania in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the abuser was my father, we were all (7 children) abused severely (including our mother) as a child i did not understand what exactly was going on but after many years of councelling and so-forth (my counceller tells me, my case is the most severe she has had in her 12 years as a counceller) i discovered that my father was (is) a sado-masichist.

  he got sexual enjoyment from beating us all.

  i already knew this to an extent i just never realised there was actually a name for what he got out of it.. after 20 odd years of this abuse, my mother had tried to go through the right channels (the elders, in several congregations we moved to etc) in order to get permission to take her children and live separate to her husband who was a constant threat to our very lives (he was a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic & incrediably unpredictable) she was however told time and again that if she left her husband she and her unbaptised children (under 18) would most certainly lose out on everlasting life.

  by colorado5591 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just moved to a pretty nice apartment complex and i'll be damned!

  everytime i take the tracts off the bulletin boards in the laundromat, new ones appear within days!

  i assume there must be a dub somewhere in my complex trying to count this as "time"

  Dating an Ex-JW

  by dyone in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i am dating someone who recently left the jw religion.

  i am not a jw, nor do i align myself with any specific religious organization.. intellectually, it was very difficult for me to accept that he could be absorbed into what i believe is one of the strongest cults of our society, but in time i realized just how easy it was to be absolved in something that you are forced into out of fear.. he's at a point right now where he is reading/researching various literature and discussing his experiences openly *such as boards as these* and i encourage such discussions.

  he does not see himself ever returning to the religion and is even willing to face that he may be shunned from his own family as a result.. here is where i am "stuck".
