  What do you think happens when you die?

  by brainwashed-from-birth in

  we were taught you are just unconscience in a grave "hell".

  no burning fires or wonderful heaven where all our dreams come true.

  i never feel like i am going to heaven.

  I want to believe there is something!!! But it is odd to say "when I die" not "If I die" as if saying when was lack of faith? It is odd at 34 to change how I feel about one of the biggest aspects of life

  Stumbling Your Fellow Brothers

  by dig692 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just felt the need to express my thoughts on the matter of "stumbling others" in the congregation.

  they tell you that you are accountable for your own soul and responsible for your own spirituality, and then they tell you that you can't do something if its going to stumble your brother.. if a brother/sister sees me doing something not condemned in the bible but maybe is a matter of conscience and he/she is stumbled...why is that my fault?

  what makes me accountable for that?

  One more way to control!!! If they don't have a real reason they can use "stumble" as an excuse to do anything!!!

  or so i was told as a kid ( jw kid) i asked why... " because they are evil!

  " was the best reply they could come up with.

  i did wonder at the time why people would bother to do that when surely they must have better things to do with their time???.

  My name was brought up last night in the elders meeting !!!

  by elder-schmelder in

  i was just told by my dad that my name was brought up last night in the elders meeting.. my dad (is or was) an elder, and he told me that the elders are going to be giving me a call.

  they have heard rumors that i am an apostate !!.

  he said that the elders received a call from another hall that heard that i was an apostate and 1 local brother also turned me in.. does this mean that they have 2 witness to my sin and that they can df me without a jc?.

  Apostate! I never expected to put myself in that catigory but i have to say my definition is "anyone who left or was forced out that is happy to be out, and anyone that is in but doesn't want to be in" I will never go back because i can't ignor the hypocracy and MIND CONTROL!!! i want so badly to help other get out but don't know how? I did help one family see the light!!! so glad about it

  I am seriouly disapointed in the Watchtower society

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i can scarcley believe my eyes.

  i read in another thread about c. t. russells attitude that his 'studies in the scriptures' is better than the bible and come to the conclusion they are not god abandoned today, god was never there.. fast forward to modern times and they are still at it, likening their body of teachings as being part of the bible.. most of you already know the pasages in their own lit that i refer to, i'm just stating my feelings as i dismantle a 38 year old belief system.. it seems to me, that all along, the belief of the watchtower society is this: our writings are true, they are backed up by the bible.

  rather than, the bible is true, backed up by our writings.. disapointed.

  The biggest disapointment in my life!!! But glad - at 34 - I'm seeing it for what it is. Starting to get over the anger and learing to think clear and freely!
