I was HAPPY as a JW! How did I end up here? Pt 3

by MC RubberMallet in

continued from... http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/239394/2/i-was-happy-as-a-jw-how-did-i-end-up-here-pt-2.

i mentioned how i was happy as a jw.

but that night, that very night after the conversation happened, there was a real feeling of relief.

I love reading your posts. I awakened back in 08, and I don't think I cried as much in my life when I realized the 'truth' wasn't the truth. I couldn't believe I treated every non-JW as though they were lesser than me because we had the 'truth'. I remember being so confused in school as to why everyone else but us had to die at Armageddon that just seemed so cruel to me for a God of Love to do such a thing but then mom would just speak of Sodom and Gomorah and how the only ones who were saved were the faithful ones. The religion uses scare tactics to keep their followers. My mom is a reg pioneer her life goal, and I am trying to figure out a way of helping them out but that's all she has. It's sad. She thinks I'm lost, and I tell her she doesn't know the meaning of lost because for once I feel found and happy. I sent them a letter on why I don't believe with ONLY quotes from publications, nothing 'apostate' like and still they won't read it. My step dad finally agreed to read it so I'm revising it with more research i've done and hope in time they will see the real light. Through prayer I found the truth and I hope they will too.

I'm so glad you were awakened and found the real truth. I look forward to reading more posts:)

So little has changed... an intriguing BBC documentary from the 80s/90s.

i'd better limit my introductory remarks in case king solomon (our new resident expert on jws, even though he claims he was never actually an adult jw) finds some bone of contention with which to try and start a fight.. instead, i'll just post the video.

I remember growing up whenever there was something like this airing on TV, they had a special needs talk or a special announcement instructing us to NOT to watch these as they were apostates and blagh blagh...if only they knew the truth to much of the content in these videos oh eyes would open!!!

Taking blood automatically disassociates you?

by lostsheep82 in

i don't get how you are disassociated if you take blood, if you are unrepentant according to the elders manual on pg 111. now do they have this same elders manual in bulgaria?.

also if you join a nonnuetral organization you dissasociate yourself automatically.

so i wonder if some poor janitor brother with his own business became an ngo with the un if he would have been cast out!

I like your point Pirata:) I wasn't baptised till '96 so I don't know about this baptism question.

Two Or More Witnesses Policy Still In Effect For Elders In Child Abuse Cases

by PublishingCult in

despite its assurances to the media reporting on child sex abuse cases, the official wtbts policy on dealing with child molestation in the congregation has not actually changed.

the most recent direction given to congregation elders in dealing with child molestation allegations can be found in the 2010 revised edition of the secret for-elders'-eyes-only manual, shepherd the flock.

this direction is in direct violation of the law regarding how ministers are to handle allegations of child molestation.

I found it thanks fokyc. I just had to had to read it myself! I have to say I am really amazed they still abide by that stupid rule. So sad!

Also if you join a nonnuetral organization you dissasociate yourself automatically. So I wonder if some poor janitor brother with his own business became an NGO with the UN if he would have been cast out! Without a doubt!

This religion is so wishy washy it makes me want to puke:(

I'm disgusted! I can't believe they expect a pedophile to molest in front of someone like WTF!

However I noticed what appears to by gramatical errors maybe you wern't able to copy and paste correctly?

"no action can taken if there only one witness." Should it read "no action can BE taken if there IS only one witness?"

"If there two or witnesses to the same " this statement sounds incomplete?

Can you please reference the pages so I can read this for myself?

Thanks!
