Did your children help you wake up?

by Zyron in

jw
friends

what help me wake up, (still pimo) in addition to lingering doubts throughout most of my life, and i'm in my late 50s, was the questioning from my children when they became teenagers.

i could not honestly defend the origins of the jws, prohibition of birthdays and other celebrations; especially when you realise that the whole belief system is/was based on crazy teachings of a businessman.. the real kicker is when you have a religion that has to produce its own bible to support its beliefs, that's when i knew the whole religion is an expensive and cleverly marketed belief system.

like most religions.. glad to say none of my children want anything to do with jws and two of them don't believe in god.

Only in that I released that they were not interested & I didn't want them to go through the things I did that I stopped attending.

Thanks for the info.

Looks like my bros & sisters are doing a very poor job, must have to many distractions, like living a life.

I have relatives in Auckland, they love the 'Cart Witnessing' bcoz they don't have to do a damn thing, turn up & play with their mobiles.

It's only going to get worse, they lost their beloved branch office they loved so dearly, now they are dictated to by a bunch of lacklustre/arshole Australians, oh boy don't Kiwi's love to hate Aussies.

An update for the completionists

by jaydee in

for all of you who have closely followed my posts over the years....(ok, so that's none, i get it).

Would You Go To A Memorial Service For A JW )if you were no longer attending the KH)?

by minimus in

jw
friends

some of my old jw friends are sickly and getting on in age.

so far, i’ve only gone to my mother’s memorial and have avoided the kingdom hall altogether.... your thoughts please?.

finallysomepride

Yes I would, although it would be difficult, for me respect is more important than the difficulty I have in entering a KH.

I have not been in a KH for over 16 years.

In the last few years I have lost my Father, Mother & sister inlaw, luckily for me none of their services have been in a KH.

and yes the services were a crass advertisement for the borg in varying degrees , this would have happened in KH or at other venues

Brotherly love in action..

by Jrjw in

i'm so upset and angry at the same time.

i move in less than 2 weeks and was supposed to be getting help off "brothers" to move and one of them was driving the van and now the elders have had a meeting and told the brothers they can't help coz i'm separated from my (abusive) jw husband and with moving it puts the chances of reconciliation (of which there was zero chance) even further away.

where are these stupid rules that they come up with.

finallysomepride

And those turds call us 'Mentally Diseased' WTF

My aim once I move is to make some new non jw friends and then I'm handing my letter in to disassociate myself.

Don't, just fade away, Don't play their game, Don't give them the opportunity to announce from the stage that Sister Jrjw no longer wants to be a Jehoba Witless.

All the best for your move, I hope you have the opportunity to say "In ya face you ars holes"

Do You Know Any “Gay” Jehovah’s Witnesses?

by minimus in

jw
friends

of course the religion condemns homosexuality but did you know any gay witnesses?

i knew some bethelites that were very effeminate and i remember 4 women who were suspected of being lesbians by many in the congregation.

they eventually moved away and were very vocal against males, especially elders..

finallysomepride

Yes, I knew 3, 1 has now passed away from AIDS after leaving the JWdubs
