I feel like I'm losing my religion/faith

by christina1111 in

i'm a baptized jw...been baptized for 8 years...and throughout the years i've been baptized i see "hypocrisy" so to speak in the religion...when you're new and not baptized that's when the jws want to invite you to every gathering they have, they want to appear like they're your best friend...they want to help you out when needed and so forth...however, once you're baptized you go to the elders for help they don't help you....all they do is gather you around the office...have bibles in hand and so forth...they give you articles as well, instead of physically helping you out....but yet when you weren't baptized they would physically help you out and not throw scriptures and articles in your face.

also when you ask for help and so forth with the bros/sisters they want to throw the "each one must carry his/her own load" scripture at you.....but yet what happened to the scripture of taking care of widows and people who are orphans?.

it's not just one congregation...throughout the 8 years i've been baptized i've been through many kingdom halls...many towns...many states...when i was inactive for awhile i even pretended to not be baptized and just play dumb when the witnesses came to my door...they're much nicer to you when you're not baptized then when you are baptized...why is that?.

Sadly I am guilty of this...love bombing. I was a born in JW, and I remember this young girl in my old cong who was a little younger than me (I was 20, she was about 16). This girl started studying with a Bible thumper in my hall (P.O.s daughter). Got baptized in 6 mos, and had a part IN the assembly the day she got baptized! I mean everyone fell for this girl...and she really liked the attention. LIFE hit, she started missing meetings, but wgen she did come, we all were cold. I smh now in regret...as I too participated ib making this girl feel 'less then'. Eventually she stopped coming at all...and in time, was DFd. I would love to run into her now and apologize, as I was such a cold bitch her the minute she stopped coming to the hall...yet was one of thr first ones smiling in her face, offering her assistance, etc when she was 1st coming to meeting and before she got baptized.

It is all a TRAP! A sad trap...that newcomers fall into. You never see past thr love and support - until it isnt there anymore.

What has been your own personal experience of shunning?

by UnshackleTheChains in

i am interested in finding out on a small scale the extent of which shunning has impacted on you personally.. my own experience is that when i faded about 12 years ago.

the woman whose house the book study was held at (and who was virtually a neighbour) walked right past me in my own street.

i remember it so well.

So what's your experience?
My family missed:
My marriage
My failed relationships
My successful relationships
Helping me when going to college
My in-laws
My career path
My travels
My creative projects
When i was given an award
Being there for me
Having me being there for them
My home
My hospitality
My cooking
My birthdays
My Christmas
My Graduations
My promotions
My husband
My successes
My failures
My illnesses
My health
Pretty much my entire life.

AMEN!! Everything that my parents said I would FAIL at - I have succeeded in. EVERYTHING. And as stated above, my growth as an adult and how I've matured, the responsible lady I've become - all 'missed' because my parents believe shunning is the way to go! So much so that they have walked right by me and literally acted like I do not exist. It's really pathetic...

This is for YOU! Watch it. HULU has a hit with this. Binge watched this yesterday, and found myself FEELING what the characters feel, because it is truly the life of a JW...

I am glad to have found the true religion

by A Believer in

friends

it really is great.

i remember browsing this forum the day after i had joined it, and their was a knock on the door.

i thought it was one of my package from ups but instead it was two sisters.

babygirl30

Please explain to me WHY this "A Believer" has changed their profile pic 3x in a month or so, continues to knowingly troll (I mean post) anti ex-JW things on an ex-JW site, and people STILL engage?? It makes NO sense to me. Obviously this person wants attention - thats a given. But why GIVE it to them? 😝

Pioneer Elder Still in Jail (follow up report)

by James Jack in

confirmed by a family friend and elder who lives in the area!

he was a pioneer elder in a port st lucie (river view congregation) fl, convention and assembly speaker, a"shining star" of the circuit and had served at bethel for several years.

was sexually abusing his step daughter from age 8 to 12. his wife has divorced him and moved back to tennessee.

babygirl30

And yet...JWs STILL like to claim that elders are 'appointed by Jesus'! I have a hard time believing this gross looking man was able to inappropriately treat his child, yet, probably made JC decisions on others, gave talks from the platform, marked and DF'd others.

Girls are unpredictable, materialist, and use us, men, as a toy - Part 2

by will-be-apostate in

well here am i, a couple of years passed since my original post (link here), somewhat less mysoginistic, more open to relationships, heartbroken again.

this is an official "fuck my life" thread.. being chased by the elders makes one arrive at the conclusion that there is nothing better than not being chased by the elders.

i had a pre-jc meeting a week ago.

babygirl30

Aw geez is this "official (only) fuck (I will ever have in) my life" thread still going

Sparrowdown...you made me laugh! But I agree...

I do not understand how it is so friggin difficult for people to get laid, to understand what 'casual sex' means, and for men to believe that women don't just have sex to hurt your feelings, or because they want to be in a relationship with you...sometimes (deal with it) we just love SEX. Geez! :-P

And babygirl, will you marry me? It's true love - not that superficial stuff that I'm known for. Plus, I saw your picture on Flipper's post a picture thread and you have great boobs. So it's definitely worth the risk!!

AAAWWW...so you ONLY want me for my tits, huh? I'm hurt - hahahahaha. BUT, I'm already getting married this summer, so thanks for the offer.

But that still doesn't nullify the fact that there is smart sexual human behavior and stupid problematic sexual human behavior, that goes for both sexes.

I completely agree with this! Too many people are out there just 'smashing' without any thought to who they are doing it with. One night stands are fine IF both parties are consenting and understand the arrangement. Unfortunately in the OP's case, he didn't 'get it' at all...and already had a full blow relationship built in his head. That is not normal at all, I'm sorry. So for someone who obviously cannot handle 'unattached sex' - then he needs to either take some time to find himself, or get over it and hop on another female! - lol. But going in with his eyes OPEN...

Look - us 'females' have caught up (so to speak) and view sex just like men always have: a means to an end. LOL!!! Now ho'ing around is a whole different story, BUT, the female species no longer needs to be emotionally attached to a man in order to lay down with him...I do apologize for the news flash! HAHAHA.

*Girls love sex* *Girls love sex* *Girls love sex*

The OP is no victim here - but neither is the female. BOTH have to own their parts in this sloppy 'dance' they did...but HE is the one butt hurt over her leaving. Only to turn around a week later and now state "Oh...she wasn't the relationship type anyhow...I found out she's done this before...blah blah blah". Typical EGO speak after someone isn't interested in you - to jump to the conclusion that the uninterested person isn't 'worthy' of you now! It's all an act to try to save face because heaven forbid a woman just wasn't that into you. Now you see the 'light'. LOL!

How Many Prayed Out Loud whilst they were at a restaurant?

.

not loudly, but just so your table could hear?.

babygirl30

UGH!! I remember this one brother I was dating, was trying real hard to be 'head of household' I guess, and when we went to dinner with my family and a bunch of friends after the meeting, this retard grabbed my hand, and offered to pray for (us) as a couple...and TOLD me to bow my head...in a restaurant...in front of everyone, and he prayed for (us) out loud.

Let's just say...I knew at THAT moment that he was not the one for me! - lol
