  Great fun about new magazine simplyfying

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  yesterday i read about the new watchtower & awake magazine simplyfying (15 pages) on jwd and i got a very big big simle at my face.

  (yes, the face is big also...).

  because: the simplyfying is based on a new strategy: using internet (jw.org) for distributing the magazine content.. the big smile came from this: at a recent co visit, the co told the congretation the following: "everyone of us who suggests that our magazines and litterature has to be distributed by internet is a potential apostate and against the will of jehovah.

  NC, I was going to resurrect this thread after reading your 'they want to stop by and talk' thread.

  But I see it's been done already. I got curious and wanted to know your background, as I didn't recall reading it before. Boy did I miss a good one! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED your recounting the events that led to present day for you.

  You really got me thinking. And can I just say - I think you're awesome! Thanks for sharing.

  Is the Watchtower blood guilty?. See what some elders have to say.

  this jc is worth listening to, in my opinion he has the elders against the ropes most of discussion.. if you are only going to listen to one, this one is the money shot, this is the one i wish those curious about jw could hear.

  Crisis of Conscience

  Mine is from Ray Franz's book "Crisis of Conscience".

  It described perfectly how I felt mentally when I found out the truth about the truth and knew I couldn't just discuss it with anybody.

  After all, where else would I go?

  Happiest sadness I've ever felt

  wow, so far 4 out of 4 "worldly" people i've talked to about my situation, actually care.

  i mean ive been telling myself that most people would care.

  but i can just tell, by the way i feel shocked and surprised at their genuine interest to listen and help, that subconsciously, i still feel like no worldly person cares.

  If you felt/feel that you had/have good, close "friends" in the org, how did/does it feel to just give them up?

  by Crisis of Conscience in

  this is my biggest dilema.

  although mentally i really feel i could walk away from the org right now, i still have genuine love for the people i have come to know over the years.

  i love people!.

  When I wrote this originally, I really felt it would be hard to leave my "friends". But as many have pointed out, THEY are the ones leaving us.

  00DAD, you are right, if it is conditional, it ain't love!

  The strange part is that so far, despite my inactivity, no one (or perhaps, I haven't noticed) has cut me off. I have shared my feelings with several close "friends", which I know is not always a good idea. But generally, I have always been well liked by everyone, so maybe that's why they haven't pulled the cord?

  However, as time has progressed, I see that no matter how you look at it, around any JW's, you are always going to have to pretend in some way. Is that what real friendship is? I don't think so.

  And so I am working on forming relationships outside of the org. It's coming along well, except for..... the still-believing-wife part. Oh well.

  Thanks for all the new comments.
