hi, i am also a practicing jehovah's witness and very proud of it,to say the very-very least..!
i am a middle-aged man with many decades of being a witness of jehovah god in england.. this important letter is personally to you, just as many of the bible's 88 letters are to be taken personal by you the reader.
i am writing to you to urge you to take stock of your life, think what your future holds for you.
"I am a middle-aged man with many decades of being a witness of Jehovah God in England."
Why then is the "Good News" according to Paul, Moses, Isaiah and Psalms not in your heart, and not on your lips?
Simple question, yes?
No honest, humble and direct answer?
meeting with my congregation elders today.. going to tell them about the things i discovered about c.t russell.
(astrology, racism, ect.
) i don't know how to present this information or what to say.
As most here have discovered, when you tell Pharisees (religious leaders) the truth, they respond by killing (df'ing) the messenger, as they did Jesus.
Yes, 2000 years, and nothing has changed.
Still, we are here for you, when you get back, from meeting with the apostate Star Chamber Judging Committee.
i haven't really been on here in like, a year.
my stbx introduced me to this site and then a whole buch of life happened and i just sort of never had time for forums.
but here i am at 3am, another sleepless night, and i feel like i am simply lost.
Sorry for the challenges you are facing, Shattered Reality, and sending you best wishes for coming out much stronger and wiser on the other side.
Sometimes I wonder if (this) religion has taught us to have unrealistic, rigid, and absolute expectations of relationships.
The reality it seems is that relationships are complex, and do not always (have to) work out.
when people willfully believe something without evidence, or contrary to evidence, are they neglecting thier moral responsibility?
so many people say faith is a virtue but i just can't comprehend why anyone would think that.
.
Why discuss such an important concept using the spurious definition of faith that we were taught by the deceptive, manipulative, propagandistic and self-serving Watchtower Organisation and its apostate "ruling religious clergy class and hierarchy"?

The absurdity of this just hit me hard:
So if a man can ensure that his victim does not scream he is not guilty of rape.
To describe these religionists as retarded would be far too kind.
as i am typing this post i am constantly looking over my shoulder to see if anybody is at my bedroom door lol guys i know i am stuck in a a cult.
but this s*** is f****** crazy!!!!.
w13 11/15 p.16 par.17 -- " at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
Why?
So that you could understand and avoid cults.
Congrats on waking up young, and I hope you get to make the most of the rest of your precious life.
Greetings

orange county lawsuit alleges sex abuse by jehovah's witness leadertwo men said they were abused in laguna hills as teenagers.. .
by eric hartley / staff writer.
published: aug. 27, 2014 updated: 7:44 p.m.. two men who say they were molested as teenagers by a jehovahs witness church leader in south orange county filed a lawsuit against him and the church this week.
The Watchtower organisation's favourite most hated religion, the RCC, is by comparison far more open, contrite, and cooperative with authorities.
I seem to remember reading about senior RCC figures identifying key issues, such as clericalism, as being responsible.
been out now for 10 yrs but life is a mess.
starting to think its because i have no spiritual compass.
why shouldn't i consider going back?.
Religion, especially the high control group version, is specifically designed to prevent "dealing direct" and the "activation of our spiritual compass" which results.
On the other hand, the liberating gospel message, as encapsulated in the 5-solas, is a powerful map that anyone can find and follow, with a dramatic transformation.
To be able to steal our faith and salvation, religion offers seductive "sweetners" like (dysfunctional) community and "fellowship", until of course one begins to think, reason, doubt, or question.
it's funny how my mind works since walking out of the hall just a bit over a year ago.
for some reason i just can't seem to bring myself to go to the jw.org site.
i find it just to painful.
Personally I quite enjoy unearthing "the truth of the Good News" from their own publications, especially the Watchtower library ( online ).
It is their meetings I see no reason to go to ever again. Nauseating mindless propaganda to subvert the liberating gospel, faith and spirituality.
