  Are the Society planning a 'Pledge of Allegiance'? IT MAY BE TRUE!

  i've just learned from a trusted contact at thewatchtower.org 'norris', that the society intend to put a resolution to the congregations shortly - though definately not at the 'special talk' meeting next month.. here's the scary bit.

  this resolution needs to be responded to by all baptized jehovah's witnesses.

  we have not been able to get hold of the wording but have been informed it is intended to provide the brotherhood with the opportunity to affirm their loyalty to jehovah and his organization.

  911

  i remember when 911 happened on the world trade center, a lot of people that were inactive or disfellowshipped starting showing up at the kingdom hall.

  there was a lot of gossip about how a few people were confessing to the elders about sins committed inthe past.

  it seems as though people were thinking it was armageddon time.

It is really a scary thing when you think about it.

  Iam new here and recently disfellowshipped. I really want to believe the hypnosis stuff but It is hard for me to digest. It sounds farfetched to me. I really would like to know if there is someone out there who has something more concrete to prove this may be true.

  iam now as what was announced at a recent meeting that iam "no longer a jehovah's witness" all of my family and friends are witnesses so this will ailenate me from all of my friends and family.

  but i feel like i don't want to go back.

  i really hate the feeling of isolation and shamefulness while iam sitting in the meeting, what's the point of it all.

  Iam enjoying all of the post, you all are so encouraging. I have a long road in front of me. I have to take it a day at a time. A post mentioned that is psychological torture (it is) especially when your own mom dont call anymore and my sisters cant call me or associate with me. Thank goodness I have one sister that is not a jw, her and I are very close (she says that she never want to be a JW). I have to get over a lot of ingrained teachings. But I will be pressured by family and friends with the question :(when are you coming back?) How can I begin to tell them about my doubts and how right now I feel like I don't want to come back

  Thanks all for the kind words. But how do we know that they dont have the truth. I keep asking myself will I be caught off guard at Armegeddon and be destroyed. Who really has the truth, its so ingrained in me that even though i dont like it I still wonder if Iam making a mistake

  Thank you all for the encouragement. I truly need it during this time. Iam normally a person that rarely get depressed or discoraged, but Iam fighting these feelings. Iam afraid that I too may write a letter to be reinstated after 6 months only to be denied. This has been my life for so long that I feel lost and disconnected. I know these feelings will pass one day but for now I just have to deal with it.

  Well, actually I committed a immoral sin, I confessed and I was disfellowshipped. My family told me to accept it and come back quickly; so I started going to the meetings, but sitting there feeling like S**** because people are looking at me and wondering what I did (just like you) and I am basically invisible while Iam there, so now Iam wondering why am I still here

But I feel like I don't want to go back. I really hate the feeling of isolation and shamefulness while Iam sitting in the meeting, what's the point of it all. The elders don't reach out to you and give any spiritual guidance and support during the most spiritually weak time of your life. You are told that you are disfellowshipped and what you cant do and make all your meetings and thats it. I feel depressed and if I didn't have my work to keep me busy I think I would allow the depression to take me over. I grew up as a witness and never experienced such isolation before in my life. I feel that I should just move on, seek God and spirituality and make new friends and leave this religion behind. They throw people away as if you don't mean anything, but consider this as a loving thing; I just don't see it as loving. Personally it makes me feel angry.

  Any one out there been disfellowshipped? How did it make you feel when at meetings?
