  To Dissassociate or just Fade into Inactivity ? Your Choice ? Reasons ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this has been asked before, however i thought it may be good for newer members of the board to read some of our reasons on how we decided to exit the jw cult and why we decided to do it the way we did.. first off - i have been faded for almost 8 years.

  essentially i decided to fade into inactivity and not da because i have elderly jw parents who would shun me if i did get dfed or daed myself.

  also- i like keeping open the possibilities that some of my many jw relatives may in time start doubting and have questions and reach out to me in my inactive state.

  I havent set foot in a kingdom hall for 3 years, and i never will for any reason. i have no contact with any jw's except one couple who have one foot out the door.

  i dont acknowledge their authority and will not return phone calls, answer the door, etc if the elders were ever to try to contact me. i havent da'd because i have no reason to since i dont acknowledge their authority, and do not believe that God (if he exists) holds people accountable for the behavior of an organization because their names might be on the rolls, but their mind and heart are completly against it.

  but really its not a one size fits all situation, i think any of the options are good for each person. to each his own.

  big shock, standfirm is back. here is my spirit inspired, oh sorry, spirit directed prophecy, you will post on this forum, when asked direct questions you will then disapear, and then post on topix how the big bad apostates arent worth your time. then after a while you'll come back again.

  my friend, we were all in the exact position you were, you have doubts in the back of your mind, so you post on apostate message boards in direct violation of faithful slave council.

  your scared, scared you just wasted years of your life on a lie, and you will do anything to try to fight that realilty.

  let go, admit the truth, give in to your doubts, the truth is what you fear it is, that the watchtower is lying and is another in a long list of false religions.

  yes it sucks at first, but it gets better, then once you are free and the dust settles, you are free, and there is nothing more precious than the freedom from the watchtower.

  good luck.

  Australia seems to be cracking down on cults, they arrested one of the big wigs in scientology because she covered up child abuse like 10-15 years ago. thats a great sign. i hope Australia gives it to the watchtower right up the ass with no mercy.

  you were a victim, you have nothing to feel guilty about. yes thats easier said than done, but JW's are predators that prey on sincere people. you were under mind control when you made that decision, you can read steve hassan's books, the decision you made is not one you made with a clear head, they put alot of preassure on you. you did nothing wrong and mind control is a much deeper issue than peope realize.

  My encounter today.....

  by Free!! in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let me start with: i havent been to a meeting in almost 2 years, i am "inactive" and the only contact i have w the jw is the an open minded jw friend who i talk to....since i left, i have done what i want, travel, get my nose pierced again (had it pierced before i baptized but they gave me hell for it, even thought the bible doesnt say anything bad about nose piercings) and hang out w "wordly" friends who smoke, drink and swear.... i don't smoke but lately i have been giving this friend a ride and he is a-pack a day type of guy... he left his pack in my car yesterday..... so, i am working evenings this week on a special project, and this morning i decided to run some errands.

  i was hungry so i stopped at macdonalds to grab some coffee... i placed my order thru the drive thru and pull over to the pay window, as i look for the money the drive-thru attendant says "wow, hello free!

  ", i look up and omfg one of the brothers from my congo... i acted like normal (sorry but i dont get nervous of agitated when i see a jw, i just dont give a dang) and smiled and made short conversation, while he is tellng me how much he misses seeing me at the hall, i see his eyes going between my piercing, my jet black goth hair and the pack of cigarettes on my passenger seat.... .

  if you dont want to be DF'd, ignore all attempts to contact you. If you dont care, then have fun with it and fuck with them.

  I think I have a new label

  by truthseeker1969 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  again tonite i was visited by two elders to see what attitue i have toward the congregation.. i told them that through research i had found a number of things that i simply do not believe and was told that it was a matter for prayer and that jehovah would reveal it all to me.. good advice but what if jehovah is telling me to "get out" and is showing me that one by one he is showing people the truth as he did with ctrussell.

  what if jehovah is "spitting out" those who claim to be his slave class?.

  i was told that jehovah does not use individuals to reveal truth to, which made no sense, what about the apostle paul etc and more importantly wasn't russell an individual?.

  they gave you a weird version of the loyalty question, they asked "you do you believe the congregation is being directed by the FDS"? That a yes. The actual question is do you believe that Jehovah is directing the FDS? Thats where its hard for people to decide to lie or tell the truth, which will lead to DF.

  our wedding photo's are mixed, there is a whole back story about the elders trying to force us to have the wedding in the kingdom hall, and if we didnt i would be deleted as an ms. so i stepped down and told them to gft. anyway, our wedding photo's have 2 people who no longer contact us, and there are the best man, and maid of honor. the way i view it, is those people, especially the best man who was a very close friend, no longer exist as i knew them. so the people in those photo's as far as im concerned dont exist or are dead. i liked the person they were when those pics were taken, and that person is no longer.

  Could you eat breakfast after watching this at Bethel?

  this is a partial video of the morning breakfast table in brooklyn bethel in the late 80s, with lyman swingle hosting... the governing body member who at first tried to shelter ray franz from disfellowshipping, but then within a year or two his spirit was broken and he was a bitter man.. randy (i was there and it was death-dealing, like the death eaters from harry potter!).
