Pick and Choose your beliefs

by lancelink in

wow, my head is still spinning.

let me start from the beginning.. i got baptized in 1978, my sister in 1982. she ended up getting df'ed for fornication after one year (going out and living with a guy at 18 years old).. so according the the org.

belief system, there has been hardly any contact with her all these years.. ok, now fast forward, my wife and i da'ed ourselves one year ago.. now i find out that my dad keeps in contact with my dfed sister, yet he ignores my family and my other two sisters (who never became witnesses, they say all the dysfunction over the years).. i find it funny how he picks and chooses what to believe.. because i have left the jw's,,,, i'm basically nobody.. but my sister who left in a blaze of glory by smoking, fornicating, and turning her back on the org.

lance-

There is an unspoken rule that those that DA are worse than those who get DF'ed. Stupid, but true.

Although I got kicked for fornicating, I married the guy and we've been together for the past 9 years. Doesn't that stand for anything? I don't lie (often) or steal and I try to live by the Golden Rule. It doesn't matter that I live a good and moral life. My elder father was disfellowshipped after me (and subsequently reinstated) for adultery and he STILL wouldn't talk to me! What he did was worse than me!

Which Websites Helped You Leave the WT?

by FreudianSlip in

the website that finally opened my eyes to the wt's lies was this one: http://www.towerwatch.com/testimonies/judicial_committee_meeting.htm.

it is an excellent read.

i even wrote to the guy, james caputo, to show appreciation for his courage to post his story on the www all those years ago when there weren't yet a ton of ex-jw sites.

It is an EXCELLENT read. I even wrote to the guy, James Caputo, to show appreciation for his courage to post his story on the WWW all those years ago when there weren't yet a ton of ex-JW sites. He's brilliant. This site laid the foundation for my exit. I practically owe him my life!

I think if anyone has a doubting family member, this would be a great read for them.

Does anyone else have a morbid obsession?

by bulgogiboy in

i have to admit to having developed a very strong obsession with my own mortality in recent years, since breaking free from jw doctrine.

i think about death a lot, and if i really sit and think about it hard, i can freak myself out big time!

i dont want to think about it, and outwardly its not apparent to other people, but it is something that seems to pervade my thinking, something that haunts me.. perhaps i should be excited, because i realise that on the whole what i came to believe as a jw was fabricated, and maybe there is an amazing afterlife to experience, but at the same time i do tend to agree with jws about death being the end, i just dont agree with the whole resurrection claim they add on to it.. i have known two people who were temporarily 'dead' on the operating table, one of whom was dead for several minutes(one of these people is a friend who shrugs it off like it was nothing!).

F-

That doesn't console me for some odd reason. Are you saying I should only obsess about someone(thing) that will requite my obsession?
