  Final Observations

  by Esmeralda in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm an observant person.

  i became that way back in what i call the 'wallflower years' of my life, when i could very easily blend into the woodwork of any room i walked into without anyone looking up.

  i became a student of human nature and watched how people interacted, and that study has come in handy at many points.. sometimes, though, i don't realize when i'm opening a can of worms.

  #1. become a baptized, dedicated member of the jehovah's witness organization.

  use every opportunity available to convince other people to join.

  attend local meetings and follow the organization's rules and reccomendations in your daily life.

  Wow this board is busy

  by onthefence in

  i guess that might say something in and of itself.. thanks to everybody who replied to my last post i just got through reading the responses.

  i have to say i didn't clarify my last post very well as i was pretty emotional at the time.

  i would definately fade out of the congo slowly if i could but the thing is i'm still living at home so it would be very hard to do.

  just wondering if any here have tried this, and what were your results.

  or, does it offend your religious and/or spiritual senses?.

  What did you do?

  by StiLLinTruth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to all those who have in some way left the organization (be it disfellowshipping, disassociating, dis-whatever):.

  come now, i know the amount of people who "realized that wt doctrine was in serious error" and politely handed in their letter of resignation has to be very small.

  the level of bitterness and hostility towards the closest-to-what's-biblical organization has to develop some other way.. what did you do?

  How long was it for you?

  by expatbrit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm curious: how many years were you in before you left?

  by left, i mean either df'd and decided not to go back, or da'd, or faded, or even just realized it was a crock but stuck around anyway for family reasons?.

  we're told in la-la-land that it's the newly baptized, those who are "spiritually immature" that mostly leave.

  BS Vacuum

  by hippikon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why do so many substitute one type of bs for another.

  as if there is a bullshit vacuum in the universe or something.

  im referring to those that leave the jws and join or start something even more wacky.

  Did you burn the sacred documents?

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...or did you shred the shit out of em so even the garbage man wouldnt become accidentally sucked into this cult like i did?

  during the time i read crisis of conscience i went into a two week long rage.

  i was angry all the time for being duped and i hated every witness on the planet, mostly for being as stupid as i was, and the upper echelon at the society...i just wanted to castrate them.
