for the longest time i was so depressed and lonely although my old lady is a great source of comfort.. i had contemplated going back to meetings etc but then i found this site not long ago and i have found real comfort in each of you although i do not personally know you all.. i have had things revealed to me that i never knew which has changed my life and blondie in particular, her posts are always so balanced and clear and i thank her for them.

each of you now feels like family to me and i feel a genuine love and concern that is so lacking elsewhere and to each of you "thankyou".. .

This convention blows

by Anony Mous in

seriously, half day in (already had an argument with the wife this morning about individuality in the organization in which she conceded that a lot of it is based on looks) and this is already getting on my nerves.

i'll post a rebuttal based on my annotations later in the week but one thing i got to get off my mind: saying the feminist movement (women going to work instead of staying home) and the diversity laws (allowing for homosexuality - but also religious freedom, racial discrimination etc.

) caused a lot of the problems in our world right from the stage.. there are less people here than last year - about 500 less..

OMG... i have never seen a person that has given so much proven facts (by your comments here) to go away from the bible for good as you have Godrulz.

Talk about backfire..! (eyes rolling). as far as in sweden europe .. omg.

dont feed the trolls.. *sigh*

Or was he from the start telling about "7 times" and 360 for a year in any of his (er.. marias) books?

Or is this something that came up afterwards as a cover-up?

Yup! More or less, yes!

With a wife that is out to 60%... but i do not underestimate those 40% cult that is leftin her.. because those are strong in her mind since 30 years of indoctrination

My 4 Kids is saved tho.... thanks for that.

I am completely out of JW in my mind... but faded on paper

Damn cult behavior... i hate it!

by AndersonsInfo in

every once in a while there's a story so well told that it deserves lots and lots of kudos and plugs.

here's that 124-book length story which is the first one linked from "exclusive autobiographies" on the home page of www.watchtowerdocuments.com.

read it free!.

Dold Agenda

Well... this i have to read some time when i have the time to it... it's bedtime here in Europe (thinking)

But what, a fast "check out" what that "service Report slip" was all about fast... i could do i guess....

Big mistake.... have read it... all of it! and there is now night here.. and it is not long untill i have to go to work...

Dont start read..!! if dont have time to it... that was really good writing. Some parts of it could have been me writing...

I said I would do it and I just did, told my mom I want nothing to do with the org anymore

by Soldier77 in

i would copy and paste my emails with my mom, but that would probably be too revealing.. anyway, i said in a post a while back that i was going to tell my mom i no longer want anything to do with the organization.

there have been a series of emails between the two of us lately and she was probing to see what was going on with me.

i haven't been out in fs in almost a year and i haven't been to a thursday night mtg in over 9 months.

Out of five children.. i was the only only who get baptised.. (i was the youngest when she begun to study with the borgs)

In age of 40... with 6 years of inactive before that ... i told here exactly what you told your mom... angry of course.

We still talk to each other, but not with religious things anymore...
She very fast realise that i have more grip and understanding now about JW... than she ever had, or will get to herself before she dies.
She backoff unbeliviable fast ?!

Still faded... mom is saad now... but okay i guess..

She have dont send the elders to us... yet, we are still faded within JW...

So ... untill someone push it against us.... the hell for this congreations elders will break out when they realaise that it had been sendt out 40 personlized letters to their jw: CONCLUDING that we no longer want to be accosiated as JW:s anmore because of....

(A long list will follow then..)

We are going ahead with our own lives now..
You newer know the reaction!? ... is my learn..

Yup! im from sweden, that is why my spelling is like this..

JC question: Do you accept the FDS as God's organization?

by MrMonroe in

my wife and i had stopped going to meetings in april; in december of that year we travelled interstate and stayed with the witness couple who had "brought me into the truth".

we had already told them we'd quit meetings and there was a certain tension in the air for the first couple of days until sunday morning, when, over a breakfast that eventually lasted several hours, they began to interrogate us about why we had left.

had we been stumbled?

@beasty

Maybe ask by reply "is that an essential belief to be a Jehovah's Witness?"
Your inquisitor will answer in the affirmative.
Then ask them to show you from the Bible how they know Jesus chose the WTS in 1919.

This is great!

I have read it over and over again to memorize your whole answer.
