Direct your energies to positive works. Don't expect any pity or understanding from them.

we have all seen the negatine aspects of the jw's shunning da/df people.

Were You Treated With Respect When Counseled By The Elders?

by Paralipomenon in

jw
friends

i knew a certain few elders that really got off by "talking down" to the "flock".

many elders were pretty nice guys but a few could turn----just like that!

what was your experience with "those taking the lead", the "loving shepherds"???

When they began to think for me, I was gone and so was my wife ! I never looked back.

We Are Dying!

by WeAreDying-Ophelia in

friends

this is my first post and might be my only post, not sure.

i've chosen to "come out" for a moment just to talk about the 30 minute change in the public talk on sundays.

my father and brother are both elders, this change was a blow to them they enjoy giving encouraging public talks to the friends.

Greetings. May I say, don't let this be your first and only post. Many have experienced what you are experiencing, you are NOT alone. I wish you all the best.

Former Jehovahs WitnessAre Hypocrites

by The wanderer in

jw

former jehovahs witnessare hypocritesit amazes me how these people who once donned three-piece suits .

with book, bag and bible in hand are now singing the blues.

these former jehovahs witnesses, who would annoy a man and his.

golf2

1. I never wore a 3 piece suit.

2. I don't sing the blues.

3. I never told anyone they would die at Armageddon, if, they don't become a JW

4. I met many nice people and they welcomed me in their homes while in the ministry. No one ever said I was a nuisance.

5. I never cried on forums of this nature or ask for sympathy.

6. I talk to former witnesses with no problems, still do. They even ask about me.

7. I got what I deserve, FREEDOM !!!

8. I enjoy relaxing and laying in my bed !

Question, who made you judge and jury?

I had no idea there were people who felt like me

by Orgull in

i've recently begun challenging my beliefs.

all my beliefs, including those ingrained in me as one raised "in the truth".. a few years ago i sought therapy for chronic depression and my treatment was remarkably successful.

as a side effect, things that used to "work" for me no longer fit with the new emotional pathways and strengths i was developing.

Greetings. Take your time in thinking things over."Learn to be yourself". All the best.

you must push, push, push to accomplish more, more, moreone of the major reasons in leaving the organization was the pressure exerted on the individual.

in the congregation.

it always seemed as if your best was never good enough and more could .
