WILL THE WATCHTOWER EVER DO THE RIGHT THING AND APOLOGIZE?
by nvrgnbk inwill this arrogant, presumptuous organization that has ruined so many lives, that loves to talk about humility and modesty, ever present a formal apology to all those who've suffered at their hands?.
would it really matter if they did?.

Love And Marriage Was The WatchtowerÂ’s Way An Advantage?
by The wanderer in<!-- .style1 { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } .style2 { font-family: arial; font-size: 18px; color: #8668e0; } .style3 {font-family: arial; font-size: 18px; color: #3300cc; } --> love and marriage was the watchtowers way an advantage?the thought of one man and woman bonded through matrimony was always appealing.
the society used to stress chaperons, however, i think in todays day and age.
however, did the societys way prove helpful in certain respects?.

When I tried to break off the engagement I got "Let your yes mean yes, anything else is from Satan" or "Two are better than one" or 'if you were in Isreal and broke off an engagement, they would kill you. I tried desperately to get out of this engagement and nobody listened or helped me. I had to believe that one day 'Jehovah will bless me'...17 years later I got out of it. It was a life of no rewards. No time. No life. I once asked another elder's wife out in service if there were no consequences for divorce in the organization, what percentage would do it. Without hesitation, she said 50 percent. When I was in that horrible situation, the worst part was thinking that I was all alone. I got married 6 months after I got baptised. I think this is a tactic to keep you in and, if you have children, add to the numbers.

When I come here I stack 10 to 15, then open them all and lay them on the desk-top so when I am done with one, I shoot right to the next. Efficiency!

Do You Feel Like You Were "Screwed Over" By A Judicial Committee?
by minimus in.....or do you feel as though you "deserved" to be reproved or disfellowshipped?
?

In my case, the decision depended on how many people knew about it. "It" being a relationship, not sexual, with a worldly man. My elder husband had a relationship with a sister who was married, he says that it never got sexual, and he was deleted AKA "stepped down" but not reproved in any way. At that point the question was how many people knew about it...I was so disgusted, I asked if they were afraid of losing a good speaker...so when, two and a half years after we were divorced, I found a gem in the giant mud-hole of men that I was surrounded by, this same question came up. Because I had a lot of friends and had a big mouth, my Dfing was on the grounds of a principle. The principle of one flesh, and the fact that if everyone knew that I had a worldly man that I talked to on a regular basis it would "spread like gangrene" to the younger ones I knew. Word to the wise: Don't be polite and answer the door, the phone, or any certified mail that comes your way.

It has been said that JWs will die for their brothers, yet, as we have seen, often neglect to live for their brothers. I used to hate it when I got a letter closed with "agape love", which to me was the same as saying 'principled, impersonal love that we are obligated to have for our brothers'.

I finally caught one at their own game
by loosie inok so we all know how these jw's pass these urban legend emails around passing them off as actually events.. i got one sent to me.
it talks about how this one sister was dying she wanted to be buried with a fork in her hand because when she was at these congo get togethers they would say to keep your fork because dessert is coming.
just remember to 'keep your fork' .

Nobody wants to say the emperor has no clothes. The longer a person is in the religion, the harder it is to get out as it is like a life insurance policy that you will lose out on big time if you chose to cash it in. It may be scarey to take responsibility for the direction of your life when you are used to being spoon-fed every thought for so long too. Eventually it comes down to the reality that the org. is only a bunch of men sitting around a table, like in the Wizard of Oz--"pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"!
