  2008 marks 10 years.

  my wife and i actually started to fade a little in 1997, but 1998 in january was our last attended meeting.

  i gave a talk at the service meeting and looked out at all these people i knew were phony, listened to what i was saying and knew it was all lies and realized i never got over the change in the generations change in 1995 and had gone downhill from there.

  i got off the stage, and the meeting ended and i got the typical pat on the backs for a good talk they never listened too anyway.

  Personal feelings from responses from former Congregations/Bethelites

  i spent 10 years in bethel.

  my only "friends" were bethelites and congregation members.

  i left bethel 2 years ago and underwent a thorough investigation of the 'truth' without the so called blinders.

  Is Smoking the practice of Spiritism?

  by freedomfighter in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hi guys,.

  i was raised as a jw and was baptised when i was 16. i am now 35 and have finally realised that "the truth" is actually the opposite.. my family has a long history of mental illness and i am "lucky" to only suffer deppression and panic attacks.i believe what i was taught as truth has effected me adversely.

  e.g " you won't have to go to school son, armageddon will be here before then.

  BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.

  while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).

  a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.
