I find this topic very
interesting. I didn’t want to go to the meetings anymore, so I told the elders
that I had to work all the time. Now that I am completely inactive, they are
probably assuming that it is because I worked all the time that I have left
while in fact, it is the other way around.
Same thing with my wife,
she told them she was sick. Though that was also true, she was not sick to the
extent of missing every meetings for months. So now, elders are thinking that she
became inactive due to missing meetings while it’s the other way around.
If they actually stopped
to think about it a little, they would understand that many are leaving based
on the teachings. However, since no one is allowed to question these, we all say what they expect and feed into the wrong theories: If you don’t study the bible, don't study the watchtower publication, don’t go in field service, don’t
pray, don’t go to meetings or don’t associate with your brothers and
sisters, YOU WILL FALL.
In fact, it is the other
way around. It is because of things found in the bible, in the watchtowers, the erroneous teachings
pushed in field service, the unanswered prayers, the abrasive teachings at the
meetings and the lack of love from the brothers and sisters, that we have chosen to leave the JW.
We have done exactly what they told us to do. And because of these things, we have left. And because they don't want to hear it, we have to say that we are sick
or working all the time to shut them up. Pathetic.
