  Apparently I am not worth saving ,why else would they acknowledge me and then pass on by.

  jw`s were in my area for the first time in i don`t know how long.i`m in a regional area.

  anyhow i was walking down my driveway with the purpose of going around to my outside fence to spray poison along the fence boundary.. across the road were two witness ladies talking together on the opposite side of the road and could clearly see me coming out of my house.

  i proceeded to rake away newly mowed grass to better expose the area i was going to poison along my fence.. when the two ladies ,maybe 40`s and 50`s ?

  Maybe they were afraid of the poison in your hand.

  Family is now reaping what they sowed and they don't like it.

  i resigned from the jw's in my 20's over 30 years ago, i was immediately shunned by my entire family and it's remained that way with a few exceptions ever since.

  one of those exceptions was being contacted by a cousin a few years back and during that conversation i discovered that my mother had been and still was the prime mover in my complete and continuing shunning.

  i then used what contacts i had left to confirm it.

  People can be so stupid. Just follow the example from the Organization. They kicked out all the long time servants in New York. No job skills, no money, no social security, no letter of reference just a thank you and get out. They gave NOTHING to people who gave everything. Don't reward inhumane treatment. You did the right thing.

  Born in. stayed 50 or so years. I have so many self doubts because of indoctrination. I always have to question "why am I thinking/feeling this/that". I think JWs are so judgemental because you have to accept that everybody deserves to be destroyed....whether they are good or bad. I wish I could find a therapist who has experience with cults. (without being too weird themselves). Now the holidays are coming. Just to get thru another xmas. It's not that it makes me angry or anything. It's just pretty exhausting.

  Dis-fellowshipped For Not Going To The Kingdom Hall You Are Assigned Too

  by new boy in

  my parents started attending the glendora congregation in 1961. my mother had a strange feeling about the congregation.

  there was something going on there that just didn’t feel right.

  there was a huge exodus going on of people leaving this congregation’s kingdom hall too.

  Time matters

  a few years back i was in a meeting between fades and it was the co visit.

  he said something i thought was crazy and a lot of jws buy into this mentality.

  i don't remember the talk but he asked this question.. what if this isn't the truth?

  "What if it's not the truth?" Then it's a lie. Period. You dedicated your life, your family, avoided friendships, education, adventures. You dedicated your life to a lie some old white guys made up to make them rich.

  ok i'm ready for the transition.

  i am not writing anything to anyone or writing some dumb letter.

  the calls and visits trying to get me to come back will soon follow, the family guilt trips will intensify, loss of friends- really more like cult member associates, how the hell am i supposed to do this?

  I have a dear friend who was raised by a JW Mom. Same cong as me however she was younger than me. She and her husband live and care for her 90 plus JW mom. The elders told her she could not marry her now husband because he is not a JW. So, my friend wrote a letter and got disfellowshipped. Just recently she had a serious medical scare which 2 months later was followed by a stroke. During all of this, not one JW has visited her in the hospital, sent a card, did a drive by or waved from a commercial aircraft at 37thousand feet. zip....nada. I find this so morally repugnant. When people are sick they need encouragement....not discouragement. Thru all of this her mother remains her biggest fan and support. She visits her everyday she can and sits and holds my friends hand. The love she has for her daughter is palpable. I told my friend yesterday that it is so good and encouraging to see the gigantic love her mother has for her. That her mother loves her more than she loves the man-made rules of her man-made organization. If all JWs would just wake up and listen to their love for their children the "shunning" rule could be changed overnight. When I made the observation about how much her mom loves her she said, "It feels pretty good too".

  Do Any JW's Still Use/Trust the Reasoning Book?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  under the heading last days, the introduction promises this:.

  "the present wicked system of things, which extends worldwide, entered its last days in 1914, and some of the generation alive then will also be on hand to witness its complete end in the “great tribulation.”.

  will the "slave" explain to their followers that such an invaluable "witnessing tool" is no longer to be used, or will they just revise it electronically to reflect "current truth?

  Most of my cong had their NWT rebound with the Reasoning book.
