Hi Kensho,
I resigned as an elder about a year ago and am now in the middle stage of a fade. I am going crazy, trying to maintain the facade of pretending to believe in the lie. Good news is it looks promosing that my family will come iut with me.
If you are looking for answers on how to cope I am not your guy. This forum is therapeutic and helps me to vent. Siam -

We believe that 99.9% of earth’s population will be soon put to death because of their unrighteousness and hatred of God. This probably means that you won’t make it. Sorry bout that.
God is using us to warn the entire world of mankind. The warning message is that all people must come to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society for salvation. We are the narrow path that Jesus spoke of in the Sermon on the Mount.
We believe that a Middle Easter King named Nebuchadnezzar (who lived 2600 years ago) had a dream that predicted all of the world powers up to modern times (except for China, Mongolia, the Incas, Aztecs, and Mayans.) The world power that exists today will be the last standing Kingdom at Armageddon.
This same King had another dream that pointed to October 5 th or 6 th of the year 1914 AD as the year that Christ would return. Christ is now invisibly ruling over the earth. This complicated calculation of “times”, which actually equal 2520 days, is based on 4 scriptures in three separate books of the bible, and relies on both the lunar and solar calendars. Even more amazing is the connection between the Great Pyramid of Egypt and Christ’s invisible reign.
Even though Christ is ruling invisibly, there is still war, sickness, pain and suffering. However we can tell he is present because of our “spiritual” paradise within the organization.
Christendom’s Churches are actually evil when they provide hospitals, schools and relief missions to humanity. It is better to give a starving Ethiopian mother a Watchtower magazine, rather than food, shelter, medicine and an education.
We believe that the “this generation that will not pass away” mentioned in Matthew 24:34 actually refers to the “anointed”, people who were alive to see 1914, a wicked class of humanity in general, the anointed who knew an anointed person who saw 1914.
We believe that every number mentioned in the book of Revelation is symbolic and not to be taken literally except for 144,000 which apply to our leaders who go to heaven. We believe that the heavenly calling stopped in 1935 is still ongoing today with almost 12,000 on earth today.
We believe that organ transplants are the same as cannibalism are fine. Even though blood is an organ, we cannot transplant that specific organ, because it is the same as eating blood which the bible forbids. But livers and kidneys are cool.
All divine communication to humankind today comes through a committee of 7 elderly men in Brooklyn New York. They speak for God. If you don’t follow them and obey their every word you will soon die at Armageddon.
We believe the Governing Body of 7 elderly men represents all of the “anointed” ones on earth. Even though the Governing Body doesn’t know who these “anointed” are or have any way to communicate with them, they still represent them in communicating God’s commands to the 7,000,000 true servants of God on earth today.
The Harlot of Revelation is actually all Christian Churches riding the back of the political system. She fell from her position in 1919 when God selected the Bible Students (Jehovah’s Witnesses) as his special people. Thankfully the true religion has never involved itself in the political systems….except for that one or two times…..
The 7 trumpets in Revelation actually pointed to 7 conventions in the 1920’s. Praise Jah for this wonderful fulfillment.
We believe that it is important to study older publications of the Society, except for anything written by Brother Russell especially the Finished Mystery, anything written by Rutherford, and select magazines from 1969.
The prophets Elijah and Elisha in the bible really foreshadowed JF Rutherford and NH Knorr respectively.
We believe that the real reason there continues to be sickness and death and tragedy is because God (the most powerful being) is waiting to settle a bet with Satan (the most evil being). The Bible doesn’t say how long the bet will last.
We believe that all sex except for “missionary style” sex is against God’s wishes. Oral and anal sex will cut you out of Paradise. He gave you a mouth to speak, and an ass to crap out of. That’s it. We know this is true because the Governing Body (7 mostly celibate men) say so.
Jade jewelry has origins in the occult.
We don’t clink glasses for toasts at parties because of the practices pagan origins.
We wear wedding rings despite their pagan origins.
Beards indicate that you are a rebellious arrogant person.
Women wearing pants indicate immodesty and improperness.
Jean skirts are evil.
Holidays such as Mothers Day and Fathers Day are prohibited by God because he doesn’t like anyone to get attention that he deserves. But still observe the command to honor your father and your mother, just not in May or June.
Celebrating the anniversary of your birth is prohibited because two guys died on their birthday in the bible. Celebrating the anniversary of your marriage is allowed, because no one in the bible ever died on their anniversary.
We believe that it is right for a 6 year old to be baptized making a lifelong commitment to the organization. We also believe it is right for that same 6 year old to be cut off from their family for the rest of their lives if they screw up once. Once they are 18 years of age all family connections will be severed. Don’t screw up.
The bible forbids whole blood transfusions, with the exception of blood fractions which when combined can be made up of 99% of blood. Some fractions are allowed because they naturally pass from mother to fetus. White blood cells are not allowed even though they pass from mother to infant via breastfeeding.
We believe that there was a global flood about 4500 years ago. The flood waters covered all dry land including Mount Everest. All of earth’s creatures except for the dinosaurs were held in a floating box for almost a year. Somehow kangaroos were able to swim to Australia after the flood waters receded. We are not quite sure where all of the water went after it receded.
When we are persecuted for our unique beliefs it is evidence that we are Jesus’ followers and have God’s blessing. When we are not persecuted it is evidence that we have God’s blessing.
We believe that the growth of kingdom publishers indicates that God’s spirit is upon the organization. We also believe that closing branches and kingdom halls are evidence that God is “speeding it up in his own time”.
I hope that this primer is informative. Please feel free to add any points that I missed.
Your brother,

"Get out of the bleachers and into the game"... Memorial 2012 demonstration.
by koolaid-man innow is a good time to start making preparations for the memorial night demonstration at your kingdom hall thursday, april 5, 2012, after sundown.. close to 20 million people will attend this annual global witness event including active witnesses, relatives and friends of witnesses, bible studies,return visits and still attached former witnesses.
the evils of the watchtower org.have to be exposed and this is an ideal time to do it.. many around the world have been adversely affected by their association with jehovah's witnesses and you can be an instrumental force by standing tall and courageously exposing the watchtower organization.. there is no better way to let the watchtower know your revulsion than to broadcast and present your view by standing fearlessly, demonstrating in front of a kingdom hall.. i am fully aware that a handful of the internet therapists who post on this forum will not agree with this method of unmasking the watchtower.. those intolerant, contemptuous critics who will comment on this thread making harsh judgements and finding fault with those who protest are perhaps deep-down wishing they had the backbone to stop hiding in cyber-space, step away from their computer and "get out of the bleachers and into the game" .
lets make this a global event!......

What the hell is the "bleaches" ? I am assuming you mean bleachers. Your stunts remind me of a wannabe Pt Barnum except you are more sensationalistic and not as ethical.

Clear distinction of people on JWN
by cptkirk inthis has been an interesting science project to say the least.
here is what i have learned:.
you have about 6 types of people posting on jwn, they all fit into a profile.. #1 you have people like me that ran the race, exemplified conduct while in the jw cult and learned through observation that there was a severe disconnect between truth, and the jw cult's statements.

Choices you have to make after you learn the "truth"

Choices
By my nature I am not a negative person. I have always been one to look at the bright side of a bad situation or express optimism for the future. Throughout my whole life I have shown love for what is right and hated people and organizations who are hypocrites. I have always tried to do what I think is right and now I have the responsibility of teaching my kids to do the same.
Over the past two years I have become critical and negative towards an organization that professes to be perfect and directed by God. I feel that my anger is directed not at the people within the organization but at the actual doctrines,structure and policies of the organization. The same organization that taught me to speak out against unrighteousness and hypocrisy has by its own policies, directives, and threats, forced me to become a concealer of its own unrighteousness and hypocrisy. The ironic part of the situation is that even though I am aware of the corruption and believe that the organization is not directed by God, I must pretend and outwardly profess that it is clean, pure, true and spirit directed.
Choice 1 -
Remain a Witness and ignore what I know about the Society. For the rest of my life pretend to believe that God speaks to the Governing Body and that I agree with all of the organizations teachings even as they change. Even though I feel strongly that the organization is corrupt and should be destroyed, ignore this and teach my children that the corrupted organization is actually the only means to salvation for mankind. Pretend to believe that 1914 is correct, and teach my kids that the only way to life is to attach ourselves loyally to the Governing Body. Go out in the ministry regularly and try to convince people to come into an organization that I feel is not directed by God. Even though this is hypocritical, this is what is necessary to keep appearances up.
By being hypocritical, ignoring logic and reason I will be able to keep my reputation, my friends and my family. I will have peace of sorts within my household. The key is to throw out my personal integrity, and disconnect my brain.
Choice 2-
Leave Quietly. Phase out my activity, without any explanation to the elders. When asked; refuse to go into specifics. Refuse to teach wrong doctrine to my children. Teach them to stand up for what is right despite the consequences. Lose my friends and family because I no longer support the corrupted organization. Have the ones that I love obediently shun me at the orders from the organization. Have deep pain inside at this loss. Gain a measure of joy because of holding to my personal integrity.
If my wife stays with the organization, become prepared for my kids to be taught by the organization that I don’t love Jehovah and will die at Armageddon. Look at my children’s heart break as they are told that their friends can’t come over anymore because their daddy doesn’t love Jehovah.
Knowing the truth about the Watchtower Society has put me in the uncomfortable position of either losing my friends and family or losing my integrity. To keep quiet about what I know is wrong within the organization is to silence my mind and heart, and pretend to believe something that I feel is fundamentally wrong.
So, what choice is better? Should I live my life as a hypocritical, tortured pretender, or stand up for what is right and lose my reputation, friends and family?
These are the tough choices that many of us faders are having to make. No matter what your situation is in regards to this religion, it sucks. If you are active, you are mislead and duped. If you are fading you are tortured. If you have been disfellowshipped you are no doubt lonely and hurt and angry. This religion brings you nothing but pain and heartache.
