They always have to throw in the God-is-going-to-kill-you bit. Fear and guilt just permeates their world. It seeps out their pores it is so pervasive. I have had ENOUGH.
He can keep on believing the bullshit. If he can accept this new generation teaching, then he has truly lost any rational thinking ability that he might have had at one time.

That's a GREAT quote Wing Commander!
I was brought up in it so I never formed many friendships outside. I admit it's hard to believe that friends and family that were so close now treat me so coldly. It's nice to know that the friendships I do form now won't be disappearing if I decide to believe something different.

So I decided to look up an old Witness friend on facebook. He accepted my friend request but a few hours later he sent me this message:
It seems to me that things with you have simply gone further astray. I can't claim to understand the process which has produced this, except that it is one in which I want no part. While you continue to find more and more reasons to nitpick against the faithful slave and their interpretations, I have continued to find more and more reasons to see and trust Jehovah's holy spirit operating with them. I imagine that any full disclosure on your part to a local body of elders might result in your disfellowshipping, or in you disassociating yourself from the Christian congregation. I consider you divisive and a special threat to my spiritual clarity. Think this is a severe opinion on my part? Read 2 Timothy 3:14, 15. We have less and less in common as I continue to find conveniently timely counsel at the right time for it among Jehovah's earthly organization.
Just remember the "reality check" your associates on here (such as ......) are due to receive, and consider carefully whether this same fate awaits you. I sincerely hope that you come to your senses; you know exactly what I mean by that. Until that time, please respect my wishes and do not contact me again. You'll be ignored.What an asshole! I can't believe what this religion does to friendships. "Nitpicking" - how about analyzing the bullshit served up by an organization that has screwed up countless lives...

Generation 'New Light' is Actually Working
by zoiks inas ridiculous as it seems to me and most of you, the infamous 'generation' update has every jw that i know in a tizzy.
they're all worked up about how 'exciting' it all is.
i just received a letter from my mom (she only communicates through letters now), and she brought it up - how they carefully explained it at the convention, and how it shows that we are so close to the end.. unbelievable.

The change was actually in 1995 not 1994.

Name Things JWs Make Issues Over They Have No Right To Do
by minimus inthe witnesses are worse than the pharisees ever were!.
if you don't turn in a time slip and record your "ministerial" activities, you are no good.. if you wanted to smoke, you would be kicked out, even though the bible says nothing about smoking (and j.f.
rutherford, the society's president regularly smoked).. you cannot go to a "quick build" project and give of your free services if you are wearing a tee shirt with a logo on it!.

I can relate to that a lot. I also would obsess that since I'm going to die at Armageddon anyway, what difference does it make if I drink now? The endless guilt and fear really did a number on me.

I too deal with this issue. I'm impressed by the number here who can relate. I wonder if JWs and ex-JWs have a higher incidence than the average population....

Generation teaching. What is it about witnesses that they don't see this for what it is?
by garyneal ini cannot for the life of me understand why jehovah's witnesses don't see right through the b.s.
regarding their overlapping generation being equal to one generation.
also, i am a bit perplexed at how little certain jehovah's witnesses know their own doctrine.. take my wife, for instance:.

I agree this new overlap teaching takes the cake as far as pure bullshit goes. If I hadn't left before, this would have been enough to push me out. Why more can't see it when something this egregious happens is baffling. So many have invested SO much that they just can't let go.
