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?.

I'll be thinking of ya, hope it goes as well as can be expected. It's like walking willingly into a aligator pond.

Did you Exit the Witnesses Gradually - Or Exit Suddenly - Your Reasons ?

by flipper in

jw
friends

i thought it would be good to discuss it to understand what caused some of us to exit suddenly, or some to exit gradually .. myself , i had been in 44 years , had mentally had doubts for years before exiting - but injustices by the elders and my doubts about the " generation " doctrine led me to exit suddenly one night before a meeting.

the elders pissed me off , i went to my seat, picked my books up and walked out - never going back.

so what is your story and reasons ?

I wanted to do a quick fade, but it wasn't possible with family begging and guilting me, and me wanting to scream the skin off their face. SO. We just stopped going one day, and never looked back. I will say that we tormented ourselves on our end to go or not to go, and felt bad for a long while, but from the outside looking in, we just up and left once and for all on day.

It was hurtful to my family, both sides, but I'm not living their life, I'm living mine. My kids are happy, and healthy, and loving. I don't need the meetings, and I miss exactly NO ONE. It's all good out here in the dark side. ;)

Do any of your friends worry you will go back?

by creativhoney in

hello all.. in thes spirit of another thread i read where the boyfriend was badgering our poster about the religion saying he wanted her to forget it and not go back... do you have friends that worry?

my best friend is always asking me... do you think you will go back?.

do you think its because when we were in we so vehemently proclaimed we believed it?

Well cue the spooky Friday the 13th music.......my husband is going to the meeting Sunday. Not according to his wishes, but because he's in the company of other witnesses on a hunting trip. I still can't believe he went, opening season must really be important to him

But he refused to shave off the goatee ;)

Here's to hoping he doesn't get pangs of guilt.

several years ago i was contacted by a well-known (actually famous and well-published) professor from the university of california at san diego and we had lunch.

he bought lunch.

doesn't everyone write books to make a whole big bunch of money?.

Heartbreaker

Well Farkel, I would love to read your book. I know I'm new on the scene, and came in with lot 'o drama...but I promise to be better. I do however know that there are about 5 people that I SEEK out their responses and threads, and read all the way back to the beginning, from what I can tell...6 7 years ago. So, DO IT.

Plus I have a soft spot for redheads. In like a bad way. Write the book.

I'm 'Apostate' now....

a new 'apostate'.. according to dictionary.... one who has abandoned one's religious faith, a political party, one's principles, or a cause.

toward the jehovah's witnesses.. shewww... it feels good.

weird i never thought i'd say that.. as far as my belief system... i realize they are still going to be based on my up bringing as a jehovah's witness (morals included) so i call myself a chirstian.. {gees it feels like i just hopped over the fence or something in the movie "village" haha}.

See the truth about the truth....thats it? I was hoping for a secret handshake, or at the very least a chant. Dangit.
