  How many members left the Watchtower because of all the Hatred and Anti-christian behavior? Were you exposed to betrayal, lies and slander against your family?

  i am trying to wrap my head around 2014 and all the evil we experienced while the elders and overseer said "wait on jehovah because that's what all the true believers do!

  " and i explained it's too painful to see the wicked people who brought my family suffering giving talks and providing other witness families with instruction we are to use when the end comes.

  why are the quite members those who get treated like trash while members who call down evil upon the organization get everything they want so they will keep their mouths shut?.

  ' all of us were conditioned to obey the insane rules set before us.

  
  

  that pretty much sums up why people stay. It is their "normal". However it is far from the real normal

  i recently developed an interest in examining the origins of religion.

  so what i've gathered so far is this.

  the human mind needs to create an explanation and meaning.

  when i was an elder we had a sister who was known for providing oral pleasures to some people in the congo.

  i was on the committee.

  this girl for some odd reason was put on public reproof 4 times for the same thing.

  This girl almost fits perfectly to someone from my old congregation.

  Yes I am jaded. 35 years of being in abusive relationships have made me jaded.

  WT addresses the "rapture" teaching.

  look at paragraph 15 of the 2015 july 15th study edition pg 18-19.. http://imgur.com/3wparys.

  .

  basically they admit to teaching the rapture (for the anointed remnant), just don't call it that!.

  I think some of these people are attention whores and they partake to be noticed by others.

  Life After the Being Separate from the World

  realised that after leaving many years ago i don't have much of a social circle!!

  has anyone else realised that we were not taught to be good in social circles except those that were approved associates?.

  i recently went to a birthday party of a 45 year old guy and thought wow - this is what it is like to have formed a healthy social circle.

  Great opening post. I have had similar feelings as yours. I know it is irrational to think that everybody is picking on me but that is the way I was raised too. One of my parents couldn't get enough of telling me I was useless. I was forced to attend three meetings a week where i was also told I was useless.

  I am now mentally out and associate a lot with non Jws. I am finding out that they are for the most part decent non judgmental people. They don't pressure me to do things I am not comfortable with.

  A new low in public shaming (and groveling)

  a local elderette at my former hall (the same type person who posts selfies while out in "service") posted this public admonishment.

  the responses are so pathetic.

  these are all adults, but they still act like scared children:.

  he would comment about me during the WT session without mentioning my name.

  The last congregation I was in had a bozo elder like that He would describe my life to a T in his public talks implying that it was unchristian to live like that but he didn't have the balls to say anything to my face. Gutless ax hole I always ignored what he said assuming it was about someone else.

  The True God of Jehovah's Witnesses...Unity

  i was unable to sleep because of my ongoing turmoil with my family and my wife's ongoing naivety about what they are trying to accomplish.

  and i came to another thought about this group, the witnesses.

  they say "i put jehovah first!!

  Yep it's conformity. The leaders of this religion can't handle it if someone thinks differently than the rest of the herd.

  It is just like a franchise. All of the mcdonalds stores and walmarts look the same no matter where you are. It is the same thing as the jehovahs witnesses.

  Sounds like she trying to shame people for not showing up to clean the hall. It won't work because when next years memorial rolls around ( unless this year is the last) people will have forgotten about the guilt.

  Memorial Invitation campaign—A bitter experience

  last year when i went to distribute memorial invitation, i had a bad time talking to a house-holder who happened to be an ex-nun.

  she said: you are wasting your time.

  jesus had no idea that his death would have a sin-atoning value (which is of course a later invention by later theologians.
