Just wondering...

by molybdenum in

for those of you who are "out" forcibly ( disfellowshipped) or voluntarily ( dissasociated) is there anything.

that you actually miss about the witnesses or meetings?.

Should I just DA or get DFD?

by Julia Orwell in

jw
friends

my never-a-jw dad told me today that mongrel jws who turn on me were never truly my friends and i'm better off without them, so why worry if i get disfellowshiped?.

i fear being disfellowshiped because my name will be dragged through the mud.

i also think it might be a good idea to da or get dfd because then the link is broken and the fade is over.

The DFing or DAing issue is about playing by their rules. Do what's best for you, but if I could live it over again I wouldn't play by their rules at all. I'd continue the fade and make it very difficult for them to get anywhere near me. Just my opinion.

What you were TOLD vs. what Jesus SAID: getting SAVED

by humbled in

could jesus have shown us the way to healing, preservation, wholeness but we turned ministry his into a theological nightmare?.

just wondering if punkofnice and my family will be bonding in hell together 'cause they aren't "saved".. and wondering if i really am an apostate..

Jesus is alive now and still speaking to us, just he promised He would be. He is the Word, the Truth, the Holy Spirit. There is no salvation through anyone or anything else.

We don't need religions, why would we put anyone else between us and Him and His father?

My Letter to Brooklyn about the Parousia that got me disfellowshipped

by cofty in

this is the letter i wrote back in '96 about the parousia.

following the '95 watchtower that disconnected the "generation" from 1914 i began to look carefully at end-time prophecy and soon discovered what i knew were basic errors in what i had been taught.. i was a loyal jw at the time and was still serving as an elder.

i used only watchtower publications in my research.

Mkvlevari - Time to wake up my friend, you're out of your league.

Julia gets hit with the Shun Gun for the first time...and it really hurts.

by Julia Orwell in

jw
friends

my jw friend of 20 years, the first one i ever met, the one who got me into jwism in the first place, unfriended me from facebook without explanation.

other jws who have unfriended me at least called me names (apostate) and told me they were unfriending me, but they were no loss.

but someone who's been your friend since you were 13...and no explanation...i'd think 20 years- 20 years!

Lozhasleft

Yes, you should cut your losses, but why not say something to leave in her thoughts? Like, ''isn't it necessary for all of us who love Jah to be absolutely certain we are in his organisation? If not, aren't we told to 'get out of her?"

Just a thought...

They say 60 is the new 40... It's certainly been the case for me. Just wish I'd had this wisdom at 20, or even 30...

A little update

by Bucholz in

hello everybody, even though i don't post a lot, i visit and read the threads on this site quite frequently.. wanted to give you a little update and ask for some advice at the same time.

since my exit, about 2 years ago, everything had been almost perfect.

i was living on my own, making new friends, elders from my old hall weren't bothering me at all, i was enjoying life.

Lozhasleft

Hi there, sorry to hear about this situation you're in. Just wondering...could you get your mum's hubby on his own and give him some warnings? Not sure if its possible for you. Just a thought?
