i've known plenty - ones with obvious drinking problems.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses Feel Like They Have To Label You?
by Pitchess Co-Gen inok here's a little story on my background i was baptized in 2003, and i was a model witness for 2003-2006. then i had sex and was at first put private reprove (2006) and i made a another boo-boo in 2007 ( public reprove ) .
i was then given a bad name and thats when i started to get ''troubled'' label and a bad name around the circuit.
i labeled as "party boy" and ''sex hound'' ( which i was lol.

''PITCHESS CO-GEN- I'm so sorry you were treated this way. They make and put labels on people to control you. And also to control other witnesses from having anything to do with you. It's unfair- but that is how all mind control cults work. If I were you I'd find a good non-witness young lady to fall in love with- a woman who uses her OWN mind- NOT the WT society's mind. Less hassle in my opinion. Just my 2 cents. Hang in there guy. Peace out, Mr. Flipper''
Hey Flip I married another ex-witness.

I was then given a bad name and thats when I started to get ''troubled'' label and a bad name around the circuit. I labeled as "party boy" and ''sex hound'' ( which I was lol. but hey I was 20-22). I then thought if I got married then that would solve my problems ; I met a ''nice girl'' then after three months of dating I got engaged to her . The first three months were great and wonderful, but my pass began to catch up with with me again . The people in her congregation began to tell her rumors about me and soon she began to question my past and demanding to know every little detail ( that will bite me in the behind later), one brother (then an Elder at the time) in particular began to get into my then fiancee's head . When ever we'd make a decision she would go to her best friends house ( the Elder was her dad ) and then all of a sudden she change her mind !
Later on when we started to get into trouble ( we did some ''messing around", but not sex ) , we had to push up the wedding date ( that's was another issue I had with my ex and her family ) and every time we make a decision ; this elder would jump in ( I thought Elder's wasn't supposed to give advice on ''matters of the heart" ) and she will change her mind.
To make a long story short we broke up( because of this Elder and among other things ) and my ex started to tell lies and since I'm disfellowshiped I can't clear my name.
Anyway why do they give people labels ? -

To Current Elders or Former Elders I have a question ?
by Pitchess Co-Gen inin the new elder's manuel they said that if you molested someone or been molested than you can't be an elder or a ministerial sevant even if it was before bastism .
i find that to be wrong because i thought when you got basptised than all your sins are forgivin, but thats the case here i guess..

What's the Importance of ''Titles" with Jehovah Witnesses ?
by Pitchess Co-Gen infor example, my wife ( a former pioneer ) said if she got reinstated; she couldn't get her pioneering back for at least 3 years.
i'm like ''baby if you want to come back than just be a ''pioneer at heart " get the 50 to 70 hours without the ''title''.
can someone with privileges ( past elders, ministerial servants, pioneers, or bethelites etc.

For example, my wife ( a former pioneer ) said if she got reinstated; she couldn't get her pioneering back for at least 3 years. I'm like ''baby if you want to come back than just be a ''pioneer at heart " get the 50 to 70 hours without the ''title''. She said it's not the same. Can someone with privileges ( past Elders, Ministerial Servants, Pioneers, or Bethelites etc.) explain the importance of titles in with the JW's ?
That's one of the reasons why I'm still on the fence about ''coming back'' because I've seen people ( brothers or sisters )literary back-stab or stop being friends because of privileges.
More stories too come later. -

Reinstated Males Serving as Ass'y Attendants
by doinmypart inat the circuit assembly this weekend i noticed two guys reinstated within the last year were both serving as attendants.
i thought brothers had to be "exemplary" to do that kind of work.
have the requirements changed?

I think the rule is that you have to wait one year after you been reinstated to get your privileges back, so its ok for them to be Attendants at the assembelies.

You know not really, because even though I had a lot of Witness friends. I knew they would turn against me once I got disfellowshiped ( and they did; even my closest witness started bad rumors about me. ) So it was easy to let them go. If you want more stories just P.M me
