Is there anyone here formerly of the "Annointed"?
by Low-Key Lysmith in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm sure this question has been asked here before, but i was wondering if someone would care to enlighten us as to the undeniable "sign" or occurence that makes folks believe that they are of the annointed class?.

....or am i asking too personal a question?.

i've always been really curious as to what happens to these people to make them believe this beyond a shadow of a doubt.. apparitions?.

My Story - Part 2
by Jeremy C in
1. jw
2. experiences
like many jw children, i was deeply influenced and motivated by watchtower society artwork depicting the new system of things.

i was profoundly influenced by artwork (particularly in the book: you can live forever in paradise on earth) that portrayed children petting tigers, playing with lion cubs, running through grassy fields with kites, and enjoying care-free lives.

what i now realized about myself is that for a jw to desire such things; and to go through the motions - performing organizationally-programmed activity in order to receive this reward; does not necessarily require a love for god or christ that is any deeper than other religionists.

[insert indiana jones music] i missed friday's session because i had to work.

actually i wanted to work, instead of go to the dc.. .

i happen to run into a "brother" who happened to work with me on quickbuilds not too long ago.. he was df'd for a bit and reinstated this year.. my mom had talked to him on friday about my current situation (not attending meetings).. he said he wanted to talk to me to see how things were going (red flags in my head).. .

My Story - Part 1

1. jw
2. experiences
i have never posted my personal story about my years as a jw, and my departure from the organization.

i thought that my personal story might be of interest.

it is my hope that some of my experiences and observations might be of help to some of you who have recently left the organization.
