new here, my story

by doingwell in

i'm not sure why i felt a need to find this site and write my story about my experiences with the jw religion.

it's been pretty far in my past, but it still had an impact, and maybe i'm just being a bit reflective, having past 40 years of age and expecting my 2nd child next year.

maybe also being reflective having just attended a catholic babtism for my wife's cousin's daughter and seeing organized religion in action again.. my mom became a jw long before i was born - she's in her 80's now.

Hello... this is me and my story...

by jamir in

i was raised as a jw, baptized in a 1998 district convention, somewhere in portugal.. studying with jws had some positive things (not many... just a few).

i learned to read before going to school and developed this excelent skill of reading, interpreting and resuming texts.

i was an excellent student.. as a teenager my life sucked (and i considered it a "privilege" at that time) because i simply couldn't enjoy these best years of my life, because had to avoid all contact with people of my age (there were no young people in my congregation) so i lived the best years of my life as a "forever alone".

4/15 WT - WTS Pridefully says they can " Guide " JW's past "Armageddon "

by flipper in

this thread is for everybody and everybody is welcome to comment on it .

however i'm going to direct my thoughts and comments in this initial post to lurking jehovah's witnesses who may read on this board and may be sitting on the fence pondering on whether to stay in the jehovah's witnesses organization.

also to newer members who may have joined the board.. in this latest 4/15 wt in the article , " jehovah knows how to deliver his people " it conveys the thought that only the wt society ( through god's help ) will be guiding any jw's through the alleged " armageddon " considered god's war against the wicked.

i am going to go immedietly back to the meetings or i am going to miss out on the specific instructions that must be followed thanks for publishing that warning article mr flipper

Hubby is doing research on D'fing to present to the CO

by cognac in

he thinks the light needs to get brighter on this so we are going to put a report together to give to the co. it's really bothering him because his dad was d'ffed for over 15 years - he has schizophrenia and even a co said he didn't think he should have ever been d'ffed to begin with.

he went to texas to save a woman from cockroaches - clearly this was because of his mental state.

he got f'ffed for that because they said he cheated on his wife and even if he didn't he had no business putting himself in that position.

my buddy was to be disfellowshipped for punching another brother out he appealed the decision and won because he basically was able to prove he had mental health issues a true toronto story

Went to the DC today...

by dontplaceliterature in

i caught the entire session today, and strangely, it was the first time i was able to stay completely alert for an entire dc program.

i'm guessing the reason for that is that i was looking at the program with a critical eye for the first time in my life and was not being hypnotised by mind-numbing repitition (see steve hassen's combatting cult mind control).

the program wasn't that bad.

hmm the world is wicked and dangerous didnt 91 people just get shot in norway i agree with them how can i get someone to call on me and have a bible study
