  DF'd and struggling....LONG POST........my story.

  how do i make a long story short?

  i am fully aware that if anyone in my area were to read this that they will know who i am.

  i was disfellowshipped on january 28th 2010 after an "interview" about an evening of bowling with friends and family back in november 2009. i was among 4 who were disfellowshipped and 6 who were publicly reproved.

  Hello and welcome Confuzzled...thank you for sharing your story.

  You have been given great advise and excellent resources to begin your Journey of FREEDOM and the pursuit of happiness.

  Hundreds and hundreds of people have read your story and this thread of knowledge, myself included.

  I figured out a few things:

  the WTBTS is Not GOD's organization...

  the WT preaches a Different Gospel...

  they teach a Diffferent Jesus...

  and they do it with a Twisted Bible....then they punish people with a mountain of rules and regulations.

  Peace, Love and Joy to you and your family!! -BH

  Hello fellow apostates

  gumby here, thought i'd say hi to everyone.

  my nutbag is still intact but it's a tough road to please others in order to keep a family.

  really tough.. i'm glad this place is still here as it's a haven for you ex-es and a means to help others to see that when man (governing body) is a mediator between christ and oneself, it becomes a cult.. .

  freedom

  by In in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wrote a letter to family kinda laying out that i don't want to be apart of it anymore.

  didn't specify issues, but now i'm getting the dumbest emails hounding me about how the borg is the annointed organization of god and his spirit.. it's not official yet.

  i wonder if they'll disfellowship me even though i refuse to talk to them about religion.... feels really good though, to be free.. .

  dear In, Congratulations on your FREEEDOOOOOMMMM !!!!

  My favorite subject....I was never IN...but I have many siblings who got sucked in to the Borg with my Mom.

  There is freedom in Christ, we don't need some man made religion to control our lives.

  There is strength in you....I feel it! I wish you well in your journey.

  Pissing On JWs That Are Geuninely Searching Here

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just want to say something about witnesses who come here just to try to rebel rouse as opposed to jws that come here and are "searching" or are "active" members in the organization but are reading info on this site.. there's no reason to "beat down" witnesses just because they still go to meetings and we don't.

  i've seen some insulting words against present elders and it's unnecessary and judgmental, in my honest opinion.

  some jws like to spar with us on this board and it's a losing effort for them in reality.. who knows when or what will make someone actually leave the tentacles of the organization.

  Peace, love and joy to everyone.... I am a newbie and soaking in JWN...

  I have not noticed any personal attacks, but I would like to piss on the WTsociety. They suck!

  I'm sorry if that pisses on some Jw searchers, but maybe they need to hear the disaster stories.

  I love people and jw people...I just cant stand the religion that has done so much damage to my family.

  I am still trying to figure out you double agent elder guys...fasinating stuff. -BH

  All I know is...I am a sinner, in need of a savior.

  I look around and believe in a Creator.

  He gave us His Word, and If we Trust in Him ...we will not be put to shame.

  I do believe in the Devil...and he has a following of Demons...they want to mess up God's creation any way they can.

  I think the Dark side uses deception ie:....WTBTS is a great example.

  I often wonder if demon possession is real in this day and age....if it is real... I wonder if Satan assigns demons to direct the Governing Body....to help them control the minds of the people.

  Freedom and independant thinking...how refreshing... to be able to have disscussion like this.

  Peace and strength to all of you. BH

  Hello JWN...excited to be a new member!

  by braveheart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i stumbled on to this forum about a month ago...and i'm hooked!!

  a tremendous amount of knowledge, wisdom, great debate, and lol humor, which is good for the soul.. i am not a jw, but the borg infected my family years ago, many are still trapped, and i have 2 big shot elders.. i became a huge opposer/apostate and had many a battle.

  today we have learned to live in peace...live and let live.. recently, i decided to get up to date with everything jw... i often wonder why my family can't see or figure out the real truth.
