You think the WTBTS is bad? Watch this
by Hortensia ina friend sent me this link, so i watched it.
it's a bit hard to watch.
some truly evil shit goes on in the catholic church, and somehow they think pope francis is going to change that.

A friend sent me this link, so I watched it. It's a bit hard to watch. Some truly evil shit goes on in the Catholic Church, and somehow they think Pope Francis is going to change that. I doubt he will have a lot of effect. Interesting analysis at the end of what he says and what it really means -- or doesn't mean.

I'd like to hear your comments -- I'm sure some of you have seen this -- probably before I saw it, in fact.
It's also very easy to spot all sorts of similarities to the wtbts in this documentary.

We are an Evil Aposta-Family
by Skinnedsheep inin the last 6 months my family and i have stopped attending cold turkey.
it is incredible to me to see how our so called friends have dropped us like we were a snake covered in spiders.
we actually havent really said anything to anybody about why we stopped.

Your kids will be much better off this way, even though they suffer the loss of their friends. No good comes from being raised JW.

Well, good for you. Protect your children. You're being nicer than I would be, to spell it out for them. I think I would just tell them to piss off, they had their chance when you were a kid, and they screwed it up. You can't let them do the same things to your children that were done to you.
You don't have to tell the children too much -- when they ask about their grandparents, just say "that crazy religion" makes them act like that. You can answer their questions about the crazy religion truthfully, appropriately for their ages, so they grow up understanding the damage a crazy religion can do.

I hope you open up to your therapist too, and tell the therapist all the things you've said here. You need some help to reduce your anxiety. If your parents want to help you, accept some of their help, even if you don't move home again. I see why you want to be independent, but with three kids a little help would be a good thing.
I hope you feel better soon, not so anxious and more peaceful.

Seriously considering stepping down as Elder
by fader77 ini have been an elder for 6 years.
it's been the last 2 years or so that i've really seen the hypocrisy, but the ability to know the shenanigans of the society through the body of elders letters has kind of kept me in there.
i'm to the point now that i can't stand the hatred and bitterness that the body of elders has towards myself and my whole family.

Get out and get on with life. As a matter of fact, an old JWN member called Little Toe did that exact thing -- he gave his final talk and then said he was no longer a JW and he walked off the platform and out of the KH forever. I think you can still find his posts about that experience if you do a search.

The hardship of being a gay Jehovahs witness.
by truthwillsetyoufree inplease spare a moment to consider the difiiculties faced by gay jehovahs witnesses.
i was raised and baptised as a very serious jw.
every waking moment of my day was lived for jehovahs and his organization and for nothing else.

I'm so glad you're out of the wtbts now, even though you had to go through the pain of disfellowshipping. I think one of the most important themes of life is authenticity. I don't think anyone can be authentic while at the same time being a JW. I'm glad you can explore an authentic life now.
