  can anybody answer this for me?.

  whenever i tell people i'm ex jehovahs witnesses, they always assume that i'm against the jehovahs witnesses, but i am more so against the watchtower then anything.people assume that i'm anti-jehovahs witness, but now that i've done more research i've realized that its the watchtower thats more harmful then the jehovahs witnesses, even though theres a lot of jehovahs witnesses i dont like, i'm not against jehovahs witnesses as a group.. can anyone explain this to me?.

  Making friends in the "truth"

  what is it about making friends in the organisation am i the only one who had found it tough?

  don't get me wrong there was some good people but unfortunately there was also a lot of egotism, back stabbing, jealousy and gossiping.

  i could never really fit in any group, everytime i thought i had found a group it was as if i would be sidelined or ditched.

  @ freddo, not 100%. Cause I still see a lot of witnesses thanks to my job and the area that I stay in Milwaukee.

  @ macys, thank you. I can't put in words how good I felt when I stopped attending meetings.

Two more years, I'm 33 years old and more excited then ever. I have good things to look forward to and I will accomplish great things in my life.

  I still stay five mins away from the kingdom hall that I used to go to, so I still see a lot of witnesses that I used to go the kingdom hall with, I never got baptized, and I hadn't been out in field service since like 2004. So leaving wasn't that difficult for me, its just the mind control that keep you there longer then anything. I never wanted to get married to ANYONE at the kingdom hall. I always was afraid I would be entrapped in a J dub marriage. That was my worse fear: To be in a J dub marriage. But I'm happy to be out. I can't hardly put in words :)

  Steven Lett Governing body tells his Grandfather beaten for playing loud Rutherford records....Why??

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  at the international convention melbourne brother lett of the group 2 faithful slave told an emotional story of his grandfather on a sidewalk in texas playing a rutherford recording loudly till a irratated texan came out of a house, smashed the grammaphone and punched him in the face...if you ever heard rutherford you would know why.

  for example religion is a snare and a racket invented by satan....no wonder they were banned..tarred and feathered...killed and put in jail playing the rantings of a maniac.

  brother lett was proud of him...i pitty the fool.. .

  recently my 'in' hubby did some work for another jw.

  there was need for me to communicate with them and i used facebook to do so.

  it was amusing to find the blue jwfacts.com logo on their page instead of the jw official logo!

  my lovely daughter played in her orchestra's concert tonight, in spite of her father who tried to make her feel guilty about it.

  he went to the kh tonight, while my youngest child and i went to listen to joyous music played by the local kids at our town's school.

  my girl was front and center and she did a great job.

  Great hearing this story. My parents made me feel guilty for being in choir in the 7th and 8th grade. I still joined anyways.

  it was always boring, and i was afraid that i was gonna get attacked by a dog.

  i actually almost got attacked by a rottweiler once.

  i didnt get paid for it, nobody listened to us, i actually had guys make passes at me while i was out doing street corner, i was always afraid i would get grouped and raped.
