  WTS causing more anguish

  by GapingMouth in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i don't really know where to start on my first post; i feel i have so much to say and yet i am so emotionally tired that it is hard to go through it all again in my head.

  but, i do need support and advice and so i will make the effort.. i started having doubts about certain beliefs of the witnesses about 2 years ago and did research since that i now come to the belief there is no god, and witnesses definitely are a cult.. at first it bothered me more on the god issue, but now i am more bothered by the cult issue, mainly because it dictates my life even though i am aware of it.. when i was a child, my mother and father divorced and my mother told me i will live with my father because she was going to die at armageddon being a non witness.

  i think, as well as many other pressures i cant list for fear of a very long post, this was the main pressure that made me get baptized even though i wasn't that happy being a witness.

  i don't even know if 'dissed' is a word still in use these days.

  but it fits in this case.. we just rolled in from vacation, got our first mail delivery since getting back yesterday.

  in the stack of mail was an envelope with a card.

  I like the idea of sending them COC as a wedding gift, it may be the best gift they ever receive.

  OutLaw, so happy to hear your dog recovered, it was so sad reading what happened to him. How good of you to get him some help, some would let the dog die. Your a good man and I'm sure your kids will be happy you saved his life. I don't know how you held it together seeing your dog all chewed up but you did and he's still here because you acted fast and stayed calm. A nice ending to a sad stroy.

  Welcome str8, I am so sorry your family is shunning you, you have a right to be true to yourself. Who in the hell gave the jw's the right to be judge and jury??? If Jehovah has something against Gay's, He evidently isn't as perfect as they make Him out to be.... after all, Jehovah is your creator, so should we condem Jehovah for creating you?

  By shunning you, your family is also shunning a part of themselves, you have the same DNA they have. Enjoy your life and make the most of it! If any one is queer, its the jw's and their stupid beliefs.

  My Assignment For Ray Franz

  by sacolton in

  2. friends

  today i met the widow of ed dunlap, who was of the watchtower writing committee and a great thinker.

  he found that the watchtower was not in harmony with the scriptures, so they disfellowshipped him.

  when ray franz was disfellowshipped, it was ed who took him in and gave ray a job and a place to stay.

  SACOLTON, You and your wife are getting a divorce? She must be crazy to choose the WT over a kind hearted man like you. How nice to hear of your kindness to Betty Dunlap. Thank You!

  All Ex-Elders, Mr.Flipper going to Final MeetingW/Elders! I'll be careful!

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  hello ex-elders, onthe wayout, snakes, and wilyloman, just to refresh about a month ago i told you all that the appeal committee had overturned the disfellowshipping decision by the original jc as the appeal committee got a hold of me by phone and told me the society gave them direction in this.

  i have since explained the situation to my witness mom and dad, 80 &82, they are good with it.

  i am taking copies of the counsel you ex elders gave to me to be careful about what i say at this "alleged encouragement" meeting and promise you this, i'll watch my words carefully when they ask me questions.

  well any way those stupid elders whom i knew personally for many years wanted to know every juicy (no pun intended) tid bit of what went on between me and this good friend of mine, a long time sister in good standing, i told them what the hell, you guys dont know what sex is!

  My Son-in-law was called in for a jc when he was dating my daughter, he was questioned for 3 hours and they wanted details. He told my daughter about it and she told me. I was so ticked off. I guess I should have gone up there and told them to stay out of my daughters business. I let it go and I wish I hadn't now.

  What ever happened to " Stick and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me"? I grew up with that and it seemed to work for me.
