  Do you really wish you could have faded?

  by megsmomma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i didn't really even concider(or know about) doing this at the time i da'd....i just kind of jumped off the deep end and didn't look back.

  i don't know if that was a very healthy thing for me to do, because i was not sure why i did it and i was quite lost in the world.

  it took me 7 years to realize i did the right thing and that jw's are nothing but a dangerous cult.. sometimes i wish i had faded out, so as to not miss my mom.....however it seems that going through all that may be harder that just jumping.

Does fading prolong the agony and make it harder to heal? Or does it take the same amount of time to get over being in a cult regardless of the way you do it?

  I guess in a way I am glad I was crazy enough to cut and run, even though it has been hard dealing with the consequenses. How about you?

  Self-rightous witnesses? no......

  by mariposa in

  i was thinking about how i left "the truth" yesterday and got to wondering about the couple of sisters who were directly involved in the beginning of the end for me.

  i know it was because of things they personally did to me that led me to believe witnesses were not "a lovable brotherhood".

  and i know, they know of the things they did as well.. so here's the thing, i bet they don't feel the least bit guilty or even bad about it.

  The thing that happens though, after you get kicked to the curb and are bleeding and hurt is you see some "wicked apostates" that come over and pick you up and hear you with compassion....then the "kickers" keep on kicking eachother and going through the abuse. And you can smile knowing that it is never going to happen to you again!

  I definitely see this with my family and old "friends". They have been taught to be that way though.......Everyone is below you if they are not making their lives misearble like you are to "please Jehoover"

  Has anyone researched the "Bethel" of the bible?

  by megsmomma in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i found this extremely appropriate.

  the meaning of bethel (which the wtbts will tell everyone) is house of god....yet in 1&2nd kings it talks of bethel turning bad and being full of false gods and being destroyed.

  (there is one part that says that they would let anyone in and make them a priest...no qualifications...just like at bethel) has anyone done studies on this?

  i am very sad that i am in this situation.

  it is pretty much my own fault that i have this situation...but i didn't know at the time what all the consequenses would entail.

  (i got real ddepressed and left my jw husband and da'd myself after i had a baby with him) my daughter is a happy well adjusted kid with a new jw mom and an elder dad.

  That sounds like something I would do....Then say to myself....OMG, What have I done??? So, anyways ...what I would do is print up some things like the false prophesies, and UN, and flip flops, and silent lambs........Tell them you looked up some info on them and found these things and was wondering if they knew about them. It will probably make them never come back, but could also plant a little seed to help them look for themselves. Keep us posted!!

  Why is the Watchtower Society so cruel to teens?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mom just informed me that a 17 year old has been disfellowshipped at her hall.at least 7 others have been kicked out within the last 5 years.the publisher count is only 56 .why do they let the teens get baptized so young?

  i was 14 and only got baptized because of pressure and the end was coming.if you weren't baptized you would be destroyed.. why don't they wait until everyone is at leat 21?

  all these teens haven't come back and you won't ever see them unless they return.i haven't seen my cousin in over 2 years.no one went to his wedding,isn't invited to any family functions and is to be avoided at all costs.. the watchtower society should be ashamed that they act that way and the parents let them get away with it..
