  UC Berkeley Study on Disaffiliation from JW

  by emmayataco in

  2. friends

  i'm a uc berkeley student researching the effects of disaffiliation from the jehovah's witnesses.

  i'm not ex-jw but i am ex-mormon and as your cousin i can sympathize with the struggles we face when we question/leave the religion.. i currently have a survey open which closes on sunday the 20th at 11pm.. if you meet the criteria i encourage you to take the 20-30 minute survey.

  -be at least 18 years old-born/raised jw (born in or family converted when you were minor)-"left" at least 6 months ago (left=inactive and questioning/non-believing).

  No questions tolerated. Three self-appointed judges announce death sentence for crime.

  we sent this letter to all the elders after they decided that we deserved to die for asking questions that they either could not answer, despite their declared extensive knowledge of the scriptures, or else were too embarrassed to admit the answers.

  needless to say we never received a reply or heard from them again.

  i post this in the hope it may help others to come to terms with their situation.. “some months ago manny visited us.

  One more thing. As a ex-longtime elder. When you speak to one elder in confidence imagine you are speaking to the whole elder body, some of his elder buddies in other congregations and half the wives of the elders. That is the truth of JW elder confidences.

  All those out will understand and can see the truth of your letter. Elders in are blinded by the cult in an extreme way.

  It's the great JW scam. Always replace the word Jehovah with the word cult. Please return to the cult, the cult misses you. The cult loves you. Do not forget you dedicated your life to the cult. Fact is Jehovah has nothing to with JW,s never has. Or any other religion for that matter.
