Is The Person Who Helped You “Get Into The Truth” Still Around?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i helped, unfortunately, many people to become baptized jws.

recently, over the last few years, i saw many of my students who were still “ in the truth “ lament that i was no longer associating or active in the faith.. i do feel bad that i did such a good job that most of them still are in the cult.. are your teachers still around or did they wise up and leave the lord’s organization?

?.

The guy that 'encouraged' me to go the the hall in '00 is in south america running a cong. as PO. That and waiting for his inheritance by staying in and active in JW land. ( dad was a CO ) The two guys I studied with are elders, one sort of woken up but justifies it all by sugar coating everything. The other is PO of a somewhat local to me hall and has made a carer of it, in for life. Very brainwashed individuals, that latter one especially.

Remember The Green Song Books

by new boy in

jw
friends

then new and improved purple song books that came out in 1966. then there was the brown song book and a even newer one in 2006. .

thousands of hours wasted singing those stupid songs and their stupid lyrics.. song 106 "watch how we walk and watch we talk.

i remember inserting different works in the lyrics to relive the boredom.

As a new convert I actually though at least a few were fun to sing along with and maybe one or two had a nice melody, was it #15 ? Some ended nicely with a long piano note if whoever was at sound would let it taper off. Many I found hokey but was interesting to 'witness' a little bit of that backwards culture I felt. Yes the new song book is atrocious and happened right around the time I started my fade to dissociation. Whoever came up with the idea for a new song book dropped the ball big time.

True story : When the Tim Horton's near the St-Jérome Qc. Lafontaine Hall got built on the 117 one of our elders explained out how great it'll be to have coffees there during service breaks.. and even filled me in on his first visit and how accommodating the staff was to them being dressed up JW and all, you know bragging rights.

Active JW's - Does None of This Bother You?

by The Fall Guy in

thanks to atlantis and his sources, we are able to examine material from the alleged "faithful slave" which is intended only for the eyes of the shepherds wolves in the congregation.. information needed for visit of circuit overseer .

all congregation accounts records covering the period since the last visit, which would include any bankbook being used and the records for any additional accounts being kept by the congregation.

(do you have excess money which should have been given to us?).

This thread reminds me of all the JW's that crapped on me over the years when I was depressed and vulnerable. I was very generous and giving with them until I became suicidal. At that point there was no help to be found other than them coming over to my house to belittle me for being an ambitious small business owner that enjoys work life. Felt like they were getting back at me for not fully doing 'Jehovah's' will and rubbing my face in it.
