here we go:does anybody know any witnesses who got baptised in order to achive something else instead of worshipping jehovah?for example i know a jw who got baptised because his only motivation was to get laid (get married) with a female jw..

daringhart13

You're right thetrueone,

I often just laugh at them. I was dating a 'fringe' sister..... lets just say she isn't 'chaste'..... but she would be all over me about 'getting back to meetings'...........

.....I was like 'huh?".......

They are absolutely clueless. Their presence is a complete waste of time. Its amazing how many of them are living completely different lives outside that KH.

It was the final straw for me.

I was associating with many that were going through divorces/struggling. They were all immoral, smoking, etc. Then would go to the KH and judge me for not wanting to.........

It was a huge factor in my walking away from the faith, as well as the people.

The common JW has no idea how many FAKE, filthy, immoral, lying JW's they are sitting next to in that assembly hall. There are MANY

Quality Men who Don't Smoke and Don't Get Drunk...

by White Dove in

why's it so hard to find them?

it seems like everyone i see around me smokes: my apartments, every job i've ever had, people on the streets.

finding a quality guy that smells good and has a functioning brain not strung out on drugs or alcohol every week is hard to find..

daringhart13

LOL

Where do you live White Dove?? That sounds like a nasty neighborhood

Question For Current Elder On Public Reproof & Restrictions

by BroGone in

first of all, i have no intentions of confessing any thing to a committee!

but i've got the goods on my ex-father-in-law that will get him disfellowshipped.

i don't normally go around doing that kind of thing, but he lied and had another elder lie trying to get me disfellowshipped when ever my wife walked out on my seven-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter to fly from al to ny to be with a man she met on the internet.

As a former elder....... take this advice: walk away.

Its very, very corrupt.....I could tell you story after story just like yours. You're honestly wasting your time........its all a crapshoot. Even if you get an honest elder that WANTS to do what is right..... the other guys will over ride him.

You can't win with these guys. The best thing you can do is go out and live the best life for you possible......

My tale of woe

by serenitynow! in

i guess i should tell my story.

i'm a born in.

both parents are jw, they did the pioneer serve where the need is great thing.

daringhart13

Serenity,

You are not alone!!!! I'm a little older than you are (42), but are stories are VERY similar. Only I was an elder.

I will drop you a PM so I don't write too much here....but just know that you're not alone. I too feel completely lost.....with waves of rage. I got a call yesterday that the third MS I've known killed himself. This is the third brother in the last year or two that has done this.

There is no justice in the organization.....its all about protecting their assets, etc. I'm so sorry you endured that........I too had a negligent father ...only now am I realizing the repurcussions....

It's quite simple really...

jw
friends

i remember when i first started questioning the wts/jws.

there were so many scandals and teachings and history to explore and research.

i needed to learn everything i could about every little inconsistency, every mistake, every scandal in order to convince myself that i was on the correct path to freedom from this false religion.

My god.......this thread is making me emotional.

I truly want to punch someone. Or throw up.........

We were all duped. And they have never apologized.

How can people be fooled by this???

UNITED NATIONS CHARTER read in all congregations at beginning of SPECIAL TALK

by Life is now in

then 1 thessalonians 5 read about 'peace and security'.

the speakers instructed not to embellish the statements.. 'noble sentiments' was mentioned about the un charter but no criticism.. followed by the need for god's kingdom.. it sounded more like an advert for the un to me.

did anyone else hear it?

daringhart13

No one I've talked to said anything like this was read......
