I'M FREE!!!
by jaccilynn inthis is my first post on this site, and i feel very liberated and comfortable, so i have a feeling that this d/b may be a good thing for me.
my story (although to my "worldly" support group it sounds strange) is alot like many of yours.
i was raised a witness, altough my parents have been inactive as long as i can remember.

Collegegirl- Since I've put the skids on attendance ( I let slip that I was so stressed out that I was going to commit suicide), I feel like a huge knot has untied in my belly. I feel so much better about myself. The constant threat of being 'disciplined' was ruining my sanity. I can breath now. I don't even need my therapist anymore! I feel like a whole, intelligent, desirable, good, human being for the first time since growing up. Be strong. Do trust your powers of reason.

Boy, can I relate...
How do you like this scenario.. I've been a somewhat active JW for 10 years. (slowly awakening). It has always galled me that they can shun a person who is in ok standing, not df'd, and who has reached out countless times for help and guidance and even discipline, all the 'right' things one does, only to be 'marked' at gatherings etc., and to watch how this group treats the non-JW husband of a witness woman..!! He has resisted babtism for years but not opposed. There are constant functions at thier house and he is treated like a presiding overseer. He is getting ALL of the social benifits of a babtized brother and respect without ever having to sign up. While someone like me who has always struggled to be accepted is treated like dirt. (Not by all. Some are really nice to me. But they are not the ones in charge.). I'ts just that I'm starting to 'notice' alot of things.

Gee, Collegegirl, I wouldn't be able to put on such a show. I would feel like a double agent hypocrite not just an ordinary hypocrite. Not that I don't sympathize with your situation. I'm still 'in' but I gave up the ministry school a long time ago. Didn't you know that being in the school is not required? You won't be penalized officially for withdrawing. Sure, they'll all ask you and bug you but there are ways around that. Simply refuse to discuss your decision with ANYONE. It's hard at first but there is no way you will make them understand YOUR point of view. Your point of view is wrong if it's not like theirs. So it's useless to discuss it with them unless, of course, you are looking for a reason to stay in. Your friend, gypsy

The Kingdom Ministry and Jehovah's Witnesses
by radar inwhat is the purpose of the kingdom ministry?.
the 1995 october 15th watchtower stated that the parable of the sheep and the goats will be fulfilled some time after the great tribulation.. up till that time jws were led to believe they were engaged in a separating work in fulfilment of that sheep and goats parable.
but from 1995 on, the watchtowers increasing new light shifted the emphasis from a separating to a preparatory work.. this leads to questions : what is the purpose of their kingdom ministry and in what way does it prepare people?.

Excellent rhetoric. Things are moving so fast, I can hardly digest any thing. I've often wondered the exact same questions. And I thought I was pretty smart. Now I'm sad.

Well I was happily inebriated, but it dried up after my soon to be ex-husband came home. So, the concensus is that I get out some. I posted somewhere, that all that are around here are cows. Literally. Oh well, when in Rome... hee. :)
