  For those who were partakers

  what made you think you were supposed to drink the wine and eat the bread?

  if you left the org, did you still feel like you were going to heaven?.

  The last memorial I attended I had just been disfellowshipped and didnt then have the knowledge about the Org that I've since gained, so I didnt partake. It broke my heart, made me ill for a long time. Since then I have no idea really what to do about my calling/anointing, but I know I'll never go back, they dont have God's spirit there, of that I'm certain. I am in no rush to join any other religion and I know that God knows how I feel about him so I dont live in fear of hurting him, but I do wonder sometimes where I might now belong.....currently being on here seems to keep me going....

  Inkie & Donuthole - I can relate to parts of both of your stories. I was anointed in 1992 (my only reference was the JW version of it too ) and it was an undeniable experience which stays with me to this day. Partaking (without permission, just informing them I had to do this) brought difficult controversy from some ...but Revelation warned me about 'cowardice' and Jesus warned about the consequences of 'denying' him. I wasnt a little old sister on a zimmer either so it came under scrutiny. A fuller account of my experiences is in my first intro post on here.

  I now believe that people in many different faiths are 'called' by God in various ways that they'll be able to understand...for me it was an action upon my heart which I felt physically but the effect was spiritual. It was the most important and phenomenal event in my whole life.

  I dont think being a 'mistress' will bring you happiness - and while you are one it will impede you meeting someone who wants you completely, not just part time for their philanderings...

  Is Shunning a Form of Bullying?

  by I quit! in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if it were done by a group of children in school to another student the school would consider it a form of bullying.

  are dubs bullying other dubs when they do this?

  to me it seems like a form childish behavior that you would only expect to see in grade school..

  Yes it is and I agree its emotional blackmail...the fact that it originates in the JWs in its present form by those who 'claim' to be the most spiritual men in there...just stinks !!

  Things were really bad in our family - my ex was being an abusive monster and I was trying to leave him...things between our adult kids were difficult and strained. This elder decided to gather my adult kids to challenge/ attack me in a back room after a meeting....I crawled out in pieces ...and our family was destroyed forever that night despite any attempt at repair.

  Why DO Horrible Things Happen, Anyway?

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the insane things that occur to people who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time is scary and creepy to me.

  a little girl is holding her teddy bear and as a coincidence is tragically on that same street when a bunch of gang-bangers decide to stage a gun fight because someone looked cross-eyed at one of their girl friends (you mamy insert any other bullshit reason here), so they start shooting and the little girl is shot and killed because she is innocently in their cross-fire.

  when captured and arrested, the gang-bangers says they are "sorry" for snuffing out the life of that little girl.

  to those that have accused me of insensitivity about abuse:.

  my father and his brother and sisters were raised by a man who became rich in the 1950s.

  he owned a construction company during a housing boom in a metropolitan area.

  Letter from an anointed reader who DA'd after 33 years

  by Dogpatch in

  2. friends

  dear randy, early this year i requested disassociation from the org and have been meaning to publish some sort of statement.

  i was a member for over 33 years and partook of the emblems.

  being an older widow it took some deliberation and guts to make the move but am currently very happy with the change.
