  1. jw

  for those that went to meeting what was the general response to this "new understanding" of "this generation"?

  at my hall i don't think anyone really got it or cared.

  swallowed hook, line and sinker.

  How did you find the strength to leave?

  by SAHARA in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  to all of you exjws, i'm sure you've been asked this question one way or the other many times and i'm sure the answer is different for many of you, i'd like to know directly from you never having a chance to hear or read many exjw's answers to this.

  knowing that you would be cut off from your family and friends and other consequences for your decision to leave, how did you ever get the strength to do it?

  i mean really, i find it fascinating to know that there are so many of you who were at one time very devout, if not at the very least loyal to one of the most successful mind-contol organizations ever who believed all if not most of what the society taught and still you found the courage to risk everything once you accepted that it isn't what it claims to be.

  did you feel guilty ,when ignoring disfellowshipped ones ?

  by looloo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was having an affair with a pioneer at the time and a girl who was disfellowshipped was in the loo at the hall (she actually had not done aything scriptually wrong (but the elders thought she had ) i tried to smile at her as i felt i was not in a position to judge anyone as guilt was destroying me but she just looked down at the floor , 14 years later we are good friends and both "free".

  when you were "in" and ignored disfellowshipped did you ever think "im not in a position to judge anyone " ?.

  we then later that morning attended a kh meeting.

  by undercover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone started a thread asking everyone's favorite xmas movies.. how about favorite xmas music/songs?

  even when i was an active jw i had a soft spot for certain xmas music.

  the standards, the jazzy ones, the rocknroll ones.. while i like a lot of different ones...i even collected my favs onto a playlist that i keep for this time of year...there are a few that really stand out as my favs.

  Adultery, Forgiveness & Divorce-----WATCHTOWER STYLE

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wonder how many have been affected by the watchtower's interpretation of these things.

  i know of many many jws that "live together" only because they are married to each other.

  these people almost hate each other, but would never leave their marriages and get an "unscriptural" divorce.....i know of wives that "forgave" their husbands "unknowingly".
