  Are Jehovah's Witnesses a cult? (No Exit)

  by sacolton in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is simply no proper or honorable way to leave the cult.

  period.

  to leave is to fail, to die, to be defeated by evil.

  This absolutely, positively IS a cult. If it isn't, I don't know what is...

  On Saturday... I decided to dump all my literature

  by tak in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it felt good!

  i took that huge plastic bin that contained multiple copies of all the books given out by the society, all the old wt and awake's that i had, the year books, etc..... and threw into the city dump.

  my boyfriend thought i should maybe bring the literature back to them and i said "hell no.... so they can give it out to more innocent people.. he agreed.

  Good for you Tak! You don't need that negativity hanging around.

  I remember when I threw all mine out as well...it felt so good. Like the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. Every little bit of it. Made me feel free.

  I usually think things thru. The exception to this is when matters of the heart are involved, I have been quite impulsive.

  this post has gotten quite long so i decided to break it up into at least two sections.

  i hope it doesnt come across as rambling.

  i should start with a confession: it was my smurf that walked out of the kingdom hall in the early 80's.

  was anyone ever told they would have been stoned to death by an elder?

  by looloo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was when i had an affair , but this elders pioneer daughter told me she understood why i had done it , i was feeling dreadfull and so guilt ridden but he said i should through myself at my hubs feet and beg forgiveness from him and had i lived 2000 years ago i would have been stoned to death !

  the strange thing is a few years later this elder told me he had feelings for me , but he was married and old enough to be my dad , although i liked him as a person by then and had forgotten what he had said to me about being stoned to death, i was a bit annoyed that he told me not to tell anyone ,and yet was telling other people to tattle tale on others , i know he felt really bad about his feelings though and i did feel sorry for him , but asked him not to visit anymore as it made me feel guilty towards his wife , maybe it was gods way of getting him to see things from a wrong doers point of view ,as he had a reputation for being very harsh on wrong doers (like myself) maybe he makes a better elder nowadays after that insight , or maybe they think i was sent by satan to seduce a pioneer and an elder !

  No, I actually haven't heard of this before!! How awful it would be to hear this. I thought this was supposed to be a loving organization? Total BS. I can just see it though, people think they are privledged to be a part of this org. so that take this as "loving councel" and work really hard to be back in Jeh's favour. Please, what a joke!

  she is 27 and he is 26... is that not a little young to be an elder?

  Something I learned from being born-in

  by dinah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  been thinking and painting today.. anyway, my mind started wandering and settled onto this: being born in has made me more understanding of people since i woke up from the cult.

  i came here, met a bunch of other born-in peeps who immediately understood.

  we have all kinda branched out in different directions.
