  What woke you up?

  by Israel Ricky Gonzales in

  2. experiences

  in march of 2014, i was a very active jw, a ministerial servant, gave a public talk, was an attendant for the memorial, and one of 4 cleaning captains for an international convention of 40,000+ attendees.

  so what woke me up?

  an innocent comment from a co-worker about the candice conti court case rang a bell that could not be unrung.

  Also wanted to add the egomaniacs in the org, from top down at all levels : Strut

  Lack of healthy lifestyle, many are sick and portly.

  Endless treadmill of busy work that led to a major panic attack / suicidal depression. WTBTS preys on neurotic conscientious naïve people such as myself. It was fun at first but was short lived although on the positive side at least I got to learn the Bible. Add in the Revelation book, constant self elevation and writing themselves in to the Bible, plus recent most events and I'm now totally out with no desire to go back unlike even 6 - 8 months ago. I'm now looking elsewhere or may just read and study the Bible on my own. Bye bye Russell, Rutherford, Knorr, Crazy Freddie and your GB !!

  i read on another thread (on another forum) where someone mentioned a truly guilt-inducing, cringe-worthy, "bad association" video that was played at this summers rc's.

  here is how that person described it:.

  "the video about "bad association" was really weird.

  Having One Of Those "Pondering Disassociation" Days :(

  by freemindfade in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  there are a lot of things that make me have days like this, the utter embarrassment of being are part of a cult that protects child abusers, that enforces emotional brutality through shunning, and that lies constantly.

  the lying i can tolerate, the world is built on bullshit, i have a high lie tolerance.

  i can ignore it if it has no effect on me etc.

  Haha Haiku that a good observation !

  I think Jackson's recent appearance on the RC ( the would be presumptuous of us line ) + the KH money grab including the selling off of some facilities in Europe fiasco ( Spain bethel comes to mind ) , the March 15 WT on the GB's aggressive self serving stance and the May broadcast has sent me over the edge. That and the Roman Catholic structure defense in a Cali court on the third party hall renovation savings account there. This all came together just when I was getting interested again. I went to the assembly this summer, promptly had a panic attack during the Sunday WT and felt ill the rest of the week. There is just no use continuing after having read COC, ISOCF, COaC and all the very entertaining Bethelite stories. That and the four kings : R, R, K and Crazy Freddie

  How about a vid of the old NY Bethelites that would do the dangerous night watch walking through the dark streets of Brooklyn ? Now that would be cool to see, those poor guys put their lives in their hands back then. I think a couple got mugged in and around town anyhow. Nut house it was, those of you new here do a search on 'new boys' adventures or read Brock Talon's book. Sorry I got a little off track but related to the post in a way.

  I'm going through this daily brother and wonder if I should go out with a BANG or a whimper. The very reason I want out is the hypocrisy so why beat around the bush eh ? I'm single and it wouldn't affect me that much, have no family JW connections what so ever but a buddy of mine reminds me that fading lets me talk to those still in. But then again it's not my goal to hurt or pull people out unless they come to me for support. Decisions.

  Hope it works out for you one day at a time. Start fast walking then slow jog if you can, every other day to being with, really helped me burn off the stress, I'm the emotional type.

  JW to SDA anyone do it ?

  2. experiences

  a couple friends pointed me to some info on the sabbath and i just plain like it, being the workaholic i am it's a lifesaver for me and gives me the motivation to be more balanced about my business and work schedule.

  so from there i looked into the adventists and found a hall near my place and went last week.

  i honestly enjoyed myself and the meeting time is not disruptive and the people were great and pretty laid back.

  Worldly people got no reason
  Worldly people got no reason
  Worldly people got no reason
  To live
  
  They got little hands
  And little eyes
  And they walk around
  Tellin' great big lies
  They got little noses
  And tiny little teeth
  They wear platform shoes
  On their nasty little feet
  
  Well, I don't want no worldly people
  Don't want no worldly people
  Don't want no worldly people
  Round here
  
  Worldly people are just the same
  As you and I
  ( a fool such as I )
  All men are brothers
  Until the day they die
  (it's a wonderful world)
  
  Worldly people got nobody
  Worldly people got nobody
  Worldly people got nobody
  To love
  
  They got little baby legs
  And they stand so low
  You got to pick 'em up
  Just to say hello
  They got little cars
  That got beep, beep, beep
  They got little voices
  Goin' peep, peep, peep
  They got grubby little fingers
  And dirty little minds
  They're gonna get you every time
  Well, I don't want no worldly people
  Don't want no worldly people
  Don't want no worldly people
  'round here

  It is my understanding that the JW history is based loosely on the SDA faith. Kinda an offshoot after the Judge heard an SDA minister (Wendell Jones I believe} and liked what he heard.

  As far as there not being a real truth, I would disagree. Jesus did start a church some 2000 years ago or so.

  just saying

  Yes I agree, was referring to organizations and doctrines.

  Wasanelder once : LOL haha !
