Should I wait to be questioned by the elders? or take my leave in advance?

by Thinking of Leaving in

hi everyone, i recently joined this forum as i'm close to being df.

i am suppose to meet with a judical committee soon but was thinking that i don't want to go through those personal questions that i'm sure the elders would ask.

does anyone know, is it better to just tell the elders before, say like on the phone, that i want to be df and not go through the committee?

If you do it.... please tape it and share I am glad I didn't do it though, after reading what others went through.

as some of you know i am an active jw in search of the truth and i see many good and bad things in the organization i am interested in knowing the following from forum.

which of the following statements best describe your belief -.

1 - the wtbts is jehovahs channel and i believe what it teaches me (i had to ask:).

megsmomma

None of the above:

I believe that the Bible is God's word and that is how his words are communicated to us. I believe what you take from it is part of having a personal relationship with Jehovah.....and it can be different for each person.

they say love is what makes the world go around.............and at bethel, us "new boys" would say..... "if god created anything better then sex...............he kept it for himself!".

how would we know?...............most of us never had it........didn't make any difference...........we talked about it...........fantasied about it...........dreamt about it..........i' m sure because we could't have it.

that is why we gloryried it so much..... hay!

i have an 8 yr old living with her jw dad and step mom.

my worst fear is that they won't let us talk.

i call her every couple days and i hadn't talked to her for a couple weeks.

Actually, my head has been spinning over this the past few minutes.

My daughter need braces. Her dad cannot afford it.(Works for his J-dub family with crappy insurance) My husband has great insurance and we would be (more than) willing to pay for them as long as we can get her on our insurance. That may be the way in for this to happen. I don't want to "take her" from them....I just want to know they can't "take her" from me.

For anyone struggling to free themselves or loved ones from the Watchtower.

by nicolaou in

i just wanted to share an encouraging thought with anyone who is struggling to fade away from the watchtower.

six years ago, when i first started posting here, i was a ministerial servant with doubts.

my wife was an active sister and my 11 and 12 year old sons were enrolled in the theocratic ministry school and going out in field service every week along with their 7 year old sister.. there has been a lot of stress and tears along the way, my wife and i often wondered what our future would bring, but i can honestly say that we have made it.

Thanks for that. I know that is why I keep reading the boards. I love knowing that so many that are deep in find their way out. Also, having all the posters here giving encouragment and support with the day to day struggles of dealing with the reprocusions is a huge help to me as well.
