  What determined the path you took once you came to your senses?

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been reading a lot of posts over the past few weeks and noticed how some folks have taken the atheist/agnostic path, while others have replaced their zeal for the society into one of another faith.

  what led you to take the path you did?.

  for me, i just began doing a lot of deep thinking and trying to come to the most logical conclusion based on the facts that i had before me.. as a result, i have taken the agnostic path because it makes the most sense to me.

  A sincere prayer led me to start to study all religions and find the truth about the Divine.

  Worship of the Faithful and Discrete Slave?

  by Lady Zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it sure does seem like the wtbts is subtly edging jws towards actually worshipping the fds.

  they're constantly reminding jws that all spiritual food is provided via the fds and how the wtbts are jehovah's chosen representatives.. and the nebulous hypothetical question that the wtbts has been asking of late of (paraphrased) 'will you accept and obey direction from the fds, no matter how strange it may appear?

  ' they insinuate that "in the last days," jws may be issued instructions that may, at first, appear to be outlandish, but that their very survival depends on it.. it was ominously mentioned at the last dc and was mentioned again several times in congregational meetings, especially during the book study which not surprisingly is the revelation book.. the first problem here is, the current gb, the very ones responsible for "providing food at the proper time" are not among the annoited.

  What you are talking about is already done. They are supposed to be God's channel.

  I re-entered the Matrix

  recently i posted a thread that i no longer wish to take part in discussions here as i felt uncomfortable wt bashing.

  however, i feel that i have to start posting if only from time to time as i am at a very different stage as i was only 4 weeks ago.

  i know i haven't been 'disfellowshipped' from here, even though i've disagreed with forum rules recently or have i 'disassociated' myself from this board as i still feel myself drawn to it.. i'll try to be brief with this, but the content could be drawn out.. as some of you are aware i have been battling alcoholism or alcohol dependency as i prefer to call it now (thats another story).

  i was checking my email and i received an email from an old "friend" of mine.

  to give some history this "friend" and i, were "in love" as teeny boppers.

  she was stuck on me, then we fell apart because she wanted to be an ultra dubbie, and i didn't.

  I feel really angry

  by Quester55 in

  2. beliefs

  i feel angry, bitter, resentful and stupid.

  when i was in my 30's and young and strong, and had a long stretch of life ahead of me, i went along with the jw's and didn't get my education.

  now that i am 50, divorced and barely making a living as a teacher aide, i am scrounging around trying to get the loans and grants to enable me to go to school to earn a b.a.

  Never to late to get the paper.
  
  I was an inspiration to some, starting my MBA at 35. Not a big deal, but under my circumstances, it was motivating to some.

  EMPTY KINGDOM HALL

  2. experiences

  i have heard from my father (who is an elder about 50 years old) that there is a great seperating work going on within the org.

  he said that almost all of the people my age 25 to 35 have quit going to our hall (about 20 people).

  i have not been to a meeting in about 1 year.

  They will spin it to hammer home their assertion that we who
  leave are the weeds, and don't want the truth.
  
  I am living the truth now. They are the ones who hide the
  child molesters and "library" cards, not me.
