My dad was removed......he said it was my fault.
I wasn't doing what I was supposed to...so he got removed.
I felt bad about it for a long time. Now I believe there must have been more to the story.

you go to the sunday meeting or theo school and service meeting... and when there is an opportunity to comment.. you raise your hand.. and the diligent brother [servant wanna a be] brings over the microphone and you say.. " i just wanted to make it clear that i "...." no longer want to be identified as one of jehovah's witnesses's connected with the watchtower tower society, and then you get up, click your heels, give everyone a farewell salute..... and leave the building singing some neil young tune...... :) has anyone done that?

The New System...Waiting on Jehovah.... and Acceptance
by ScoobySnax ini was sitting in the garden having a beer with my dad this afternoon, it was a beautiful warm spring day, and we chatted away .......it's a good thing, my dad and me haven't always got on.
i think he thinks i'm not the son he held a 3 day party for when i was born, at least i didn't turn out like he'd hoped.
you see he's a mans man.

My husband walked by the computer just as I scrolled past DanTheMan's picture...He stopped and asked, "Who's That?" I laughed and said, "Its DanTheMan doing House to House Work."
He said, "Do you all know that people make fun of you for doing that house to house work?"
I said, "Whatever, it's called persecution, closest thing to a miracle we have, the WTBTS told us that would happen."
Yes, I hated it...and felt very stupid...and I knew people were making fun....

Did You Feel Superior To Those People Who Only Ever Came To The Memorial?
by Englishman inwe did.. we used to call them "memorial saints".
they were the fringe members, the fallen away, the disfellowshipped, those who had their own private pipeline to jehovah, bible studies, good-will, disinterested husbands, delinquent kids, prophets, lunatics and uncle tom cobley and all.. in short, all the weirdo's that could be mustered together on just one night of the year.
but it got the numbers up.

I never felt superior, I felt envious and a little jealous and very confused......
these brothers and sisters that didn't feel guilt because they missed all the other meetings of the year. And the kids my age that were'nt forced to go three times a week and field service on Saturday....Heck yea, I was envious...
I also noticed that they looked and acted exactly the same...just as nice as before. How did that work? I thought they were supposed to go crazy or something....That certainly caused some confusion for me.

How do I know when it's love....
by DanTheMan ini don't post a lot about my personal life here anymore but i have a situation that i'd like some feedback on.. i have been dating a for about 5 months.
she is a university professor, originally from madrid spain, speaks 3 languages, quite an interesting and intelligent lady.
however, i have also come to find that she is very insecure and somewhat childish emotionally.. she has brought up marriage several times, and i have tried to keep her at bay on this subject, as i just don't know if the relationship has that kind of feeling or not.. the problem is, i don't know what that feeling is supposed to be.

I agree with the posters above...This is NOT love. She may need some psychological help..and unless you are a trained professional...................
I wish you the best...I'm sure you know what you must do. Good luck

JWD Sign in. Were You a Dub When You First Came Here?
by xjw_b12 in.
seeing this is the 5th anniversary of jwd, i was curious as to how many who still post here, were dyed in the wool jws, but later sucumbed to "the truth about the truth" .
were an active/semi-active jw, and this site and others were enough to convince you that your doubts had substance.

I had been out for probably 15 years....
I was trying to figure out why in the hell armageddon hadn't arrived yet. When I found this site.
Then I realized it wasn't comming...or at least I'm not waiting on it anymore.

hey, today's my forum birthday
by DanTheMan inwow, 3 years since i first found this place and joined the fray.
i think i've spent more time here over the past three years than i did during the last three years i attended the kh.
i've been up and down quite a bit since leaving the cult, cults attract people who are emotional cripples and i am no exception, and the cult only makes you worse.

Were you invited to the Memorial?
by JH inhas anybody invited you to go to the memorial this year?
do you expect to be invited?.
usually elders come over a few days before to invite me, but they didn't come yet....

lisavegas420
nope no invites here either....
My parents have never invited me not in the 17 years that I've been disfellowshipped. I really found it odd that they never even invited my children the whole time they were growing up. Shouldn't they have some kind of blood guilt?
A sister had been comming over and have a study with me but, she quit coming when I showed her the info I found on the UN issue. So I doubt that she will come by now and invite me. Just like that she stoped comming over..I don't think I'm even a return visit anymore. It's been months...
