There are a lot of witnesses out there that have worse conduct than most "wordly" people! Typical that they always think they are better than everyone else. Sheesh.
That post made me angry!

this could make you laugh or be really angry !
by looloo ini recently bumped into a jw i know that told me that her watch had been pinched at an assembly , she then went on to tell me that a lot of worldly people go to assemblys ,so she should have been more carfull !!!!!!!
this is someone that knows im "worldly" i was gobsmacked when i had recovered from my shock i informed her that i would not dream of stealing something despite being "worldly".
i dont even think she realised how offensive it sounded and she is not usually a judgemental person , so it must be all that self righteous association she has been mixing with lol

Wow, I can't believe I'm doing this....
by megawatt inwelp...
it's been a crazy ride for over 25 years, pretty much raised as a witness (ever since i could remember), rebelled against my parents, came back, straighten out for a little while, married within "the truth", but the last 5 to 7 years, i've been seriously questioning the changes and doctrines established by the wts.
never thought i would be looking from this side of the fence.

Reinstated 5 yrs ago
by Treebe ini am just trying to understand what my choices are.
i have been reinstated for just over 5 yrs and still have not had my privileges back.
i am a single mom and have been to all the meeting that we can, doing our best outside of kids colds and flu's, not to mention car trouble, but i have always turned in my time each month and study reports, but still i can not answer.

I am sorry you are feeling the way you are feeling! Welcome to the forum though.
I hope you will find what you are lacking in your current situtation here. We are a loving and supportive group here. Take a look around the site, there are lots of people who were unhappy with how they were treated here.
All the best to you!

new BS assignment, new threats.
by inkling inok, so after about 2 months of straight absence from my bookstudy, the elders shuffled me off.
apparently my current (actually quite kind, if a bit clueless) bs overseer was.
not being enough of a nazi.. my newly assigned bs has a (aforementioned in another post) dimwitted, socially obtuse, and.

I remember a similar conversation my bookstudy conductor had with me. I think he called once. I gave him no reason really, just some stupid excuse. He never called again. I often wonder if he is still a cult member, it seemed to me that he was more balanced than most. I haven't heard about him or his family in years...

My story: "Pop!" goes the Little Circuit Breaker
by TJ - iAmCleared2Land ini guess it's about time i write my story.
i've put this off for a long time... primarily becuase, while i thought my story was bad, i've read so many worse and heart-rending stories here.
i think, though, there is some therapeutic value in 'letting it all out' with others who know what 'it' was like.

Yes, I also struggle with some similar social issues. I thought it was just me...very interesting to discover that I am not alone with this, that this horrible cult conditions people to have struggles for the rest of their lives over things that just come to natural to others. I will be fighting off the effects of this forever I am sure.

TJ:
Thanks for sharing the rest of this harrowing story with us. My heart goes out to you, and I am instilled with an amazing sense of awe and respect at your strength. Although I found this story so difficult to read, I continued on with it, b/c the least I could do is show my respect for you - if you had to go through it, then at least I could read it.
What you endured, no one should have to go through! You have come through it with flying colors (although you may not see it that way, I sure hope that you do!). I am so glad that your siblings also made the decision to leave the religeon as well.
What I love about you is, despite all your tribulations in life, you didn't ever loose your kindness, understanding and empathy. You sound like a wonderful man and you do everything with a whole heart.
Please know, if there were only something I could say to relieve your pain - I certainly would!!
You are very inspiring! You have made it through your dark times, the best is yet to come my friend!! Go out and live your life to the fullest, you deserve it - you have put in your time!!
Wishing many wonderful, fun filled and loving times for you.
Your friend,
MMO

by Burger Time ini have not see this on here, but my dad is friends with kelly clarkson's aunt.
she is a jw in the area and evidently very close to kelly.
