  Why am I Renouncing My JW Faith...Part 5 and final

  by tjlibre in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have expressed in this forum that sometimes im confused as to what will be my ultimate decision.

  at this point in my life there is too much at stake.

  first, my own emotional estate, ill hate to bitterly regret the years expend taking unnecessary emotional abuse and theocratic bulling.

  Wasn't it nice knowing, not merely hoping or believing, but knowing that you were right, that God looked with favor upon you, that you were one of a small group that comprised God's true people, and had a glorious future awaiting?

  It was nice... for the first 30 seconds. But it quickly wore off once I noticed all the inconsistencies in the behavior of God's true people.

  so i heard an interview with the "black eyed peas" who mention they jammed with prince at his home recently, only to have one excited member yell to prince....."your the sh#t man!

  " well how would a witness react to that????

  a staff member later told them prince did not like swearing in his house.

  at my place of business which i own, i have discovered that the local jw's have taken to dropping in magazines, brocheres etc.

  the staff accept them just to be polite but arn't interested.

  but you know the deluded jw's... my business has quickly turned into someones magazine route!.

  Post signs (e.g., No Trespassing, No Soliciting) and tell your staff to knock it off. Problem solved.

  Does Your Life Have Purpose?

  by minimus in

  witnesses teach that when you learn the "truth", you finally have a purpose in life.. when some witnesses decide to leave the religion, they might experience an emptiness because they realize now that their way of life really was totally a sham.. are jehovah's witnesses right about those that leave the organization no longer having a purpose in life?.

  Having a purpose sounds like a bit of a tall order. You're specifically put on Earth to do this and this? You mean that has to come first, before everything else? And I don't necessarily get to pick what that purpose may be? No thanks.

  If you find one, and it suits you, beautiful. Some people need and want that kind of direction/structure in their lives. I don't want a purpose. I've got too many other things I want to do.

  Is this our fate?

  by paul from cleveland in

  1. social
  2. current

  is there fate?

  if so, are we fated to be the bad evil slave?.

  if the bible prophecies that there will be an 'evil slave that falls away and beats his fellow slaves because the master is delaying' doesn't that mean that someone has to fulfill that prophecy otherwise the prophecy would be false?

  I don't feel my life has a purpose. I'm completely satisfied with that. I'd sooner be purposeless than be an annoying snob pressing magazines and cult-think on everyone I know.

  I didn't actually start doing any internet research abut JWs until after I was long gone. I was disillusioned enough with Jehovah that just doing research on other religions did it for me.
