  Did you have "a personal relationship to Jehovah"?

  by Awakened07 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  remember how it was always stressed how important it was to "have a personal relationship to jehovah"?

  that those who got disfellowshipped or disassociated themselves because of what members of the org.

  had said or done, or failed doctrine etc., wouldn't have done so "if they only had had a close, personal relationship to jehovah"?

  No, I never did. I did what I was told to do, and really, I was as scared of Jehovah as I was my dad. To me he was someone who got mad at you and would kill you if you disobeyed.

  While I was trying to raise my kids as Witnesses we were never as active as we "should" have been. But I remember telling my mom that my kids were closer to Jehovah and loved him more than I ever did. I never made him scary. My 2 year old tell Jehovah goodnight and I love you every night.

  I feel now that I can pray freely and feel as though someone is listening. I have to believe in a Higher Power but I am understanding that what was shoved into my brain as fact hasn't been true. So I am trying to find the truth by Bible reading. And it feels good to think someone powerful would listen to lowly me. Maybe it is just the pouring out of thoughts that helps, I'm not sure.

  I almost didn't believe it was real. Thanks for sharing this and reaffirming my wise decision to leave. I guess I shouldn't have obeyed my dad the elder and got babtized at 13 so he would look good. hmmm...

  Maryjane,I can't even stand to look at a Watchtower.

  Well....

  In another house the closet door in my bedroom would open and shut, sometimes open and slam.

  My mom and I were cleaning her widowed father's house. I kept hearing muffled screaming, like a hand covering a mouth. I ignored it for a while, but finally I couldn't anymore. So I opened the guest bedroom door and the clown that normally sat propped against the pillows was in the middle of the bed. It was face down and the bed linens were all messed up around it. Between that and the movie Killer Klowns From Outer Space, clowns are a no-no around here.

  In the same house where my curtain door would open, sometimes I would get chased up the stairs by something right behind me. You could hear the footsteps right behind you because they were wooden stairs. Of course my parents never believed us, how could we live in a "haunted" house when we are such good Witnesses? By the way, in this same house a former occupant killed her self in the basement by drinking drain-o.

  I just remembered, we moved a year ago to a newly built house. But in our former house books would fly off tables, I could hear windows open and close, and I would always hear "Mom" when my kids weren't there.

  How's that warlock? I like your profile picture by the way.
