ok so i think todays the day the congregation gets to hear im dissing myself,.

i sent my letter off last week and theyl have got it on saturday,.

as i was told on a earlyer post it wont be done on sunday meeting.

serein

gregor im dislexic so enough of the crap there, iv already said on other posts about it and im a crap speller to,

my husband wrote the letter so it was fine,

plus when im emotional and writing its just alover the place cos im so stressed out

anyways im gona do another letter sign it send it to bethel and tell them straight.

as for to many diss letters going in to them i duno about other places but they not here if anything the congs got biger

they said they realy care about me so much that they cant take it and want me to come back.

i know its crap cos no ones even come to see me exept them iv even been ignored ot and about so i know its crap,

anyways i wana do my own thing and if im wrong im wrong,but i still beleive in god and i still want to lead a christian life so i wont be turning apostate or anything else, iv been reading books looking on internet trying to find my way so il always be looking and learning but on my terms not an organisations terms ,

and everyone gona have to get used to my grammer cant spell dislexic and in uk so my use some slang word some may not understand.

the only other thing is do they tell his parents if we diss cos they live in america and its only his step dad left in as his mom left him and dont go anymore also hes got mates over there and they dont know so will they inform his old congregation cos we dint wana tell anyone over there yet.

this is what i wrote in my letter so tell me this what part of it sounds like they shouldnt listen to it and im weak minded and im pathetic and they should come back what gives them the idea that they can ignore what i wrote,

to the bla congregation of jehovahs witnesses

this is a letter to say we wish to dissassociate ourselfs from the

jehovahs witness religion.we dont believe it is the true religion.

in closing,we would like to be added to the do-not call list.we do not

want to be visited for encouragement.we do not want to receive any

phone calls.we would like to be left alone so we can live our life the

way god would want us to.free from the control of any earthly

organzatio,but only what is found in the bible.please respect our wishes

sincerely, bla bla

so what part of that dint they understand

what part of that makes em think its ok to ignore me.

omg, im so upset and stressed,

guess what happend

they came tonight with my letter and gave it back to me

saying they care about me and want to listen and talk

i said if u wanted to listen ud leave me alone cos iv made my dessisions and they said they wana come and chatt talk it through make sure its the right one, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bit more bla,

then i said i dont agree with the blood and id be a hipocrit if i came back and they wont listen thinking they can get me to there way of thinking about it,

i also mentiond about corinthian were it talks about festivitys and stuf u know celebrating religiose stuff and they then asked me if id been looking on web sites i said no but with i hadnt cos i dont like lieing but only cos i dont want them thinking im listening to other people and not my on thoughts u know like im being brain washed by u lot or sumat,

they said they dint take the letter cos i dint sighn it in ink how stupid

cos id done it and printed it off,

then they said they gona come back in jan and i dont want them to

so what do i do,

do i send the letter back signd will it make a diff,

will they stilol come back,

im a wreck

im crying

i feel like im in a hole i cant get out off,

i feel like im not in control of my life and they are

and that if im not in there organisation anymore i wont live in paradise,

i said i will cos im a good person with a good heart

they wont listen to me i told u in my last posts about them keep coming and wont listen to me

now when i send a letter they bring it back

how nmany people on here have had there letters brought back,

how many people have said they dont agree with there religiose beliefs and still got told they care and want u back,

i care i care so much that its not the right religion anymore that i want to sdtay out of it and they wont listen to me,

why cant they just see that some people just want to do what they thinks right and just leave em alone and not keep pushing it on em

i know they think im wrong and gona perish or sumat, but i dont think same and they want me to talk about it and tell em the scriptures iv been looking at and show em and what ever liek i was at teh door with my jarmers on and kids goin bed and i felt uncomfortable with it all,

jehovah dosnt push things on u force u to beleive or keep going at u till u give in he wants u to lok in to things make sure its right andn not just listen to men,

im doing what i thinks right and if im wrong im doomed but im not.

they wont listen said what i needed to say and there ears were death and there mouths were going and going and going i could think of scriptures that id read cos id been put on the spot and u no what its liekthey will have an answer cos they trined to have an answer to everything,,

so what now do i sighn leter send it back send a new letter with all the scriptures in it that knocks there beleifs and sums up my own,

then will it work will they bring that one back

how come no one was my frr=eind wile i was there and al of a sudden every one wants me back whos everyone no ones even seen me in liek a year noe one even rings me talks to me nothing,so weres the love weres the christian love there iv not had any.i told em that and i said if i get shuned wont make a diff cos no ones my freind anyhow and they still wont listen,

it it was truely gods people id not have any dout about it and id have a huge amount of freinds no stress no burden i could not carry.i hade a giant burdan and i could not carry it and never will cos its wrong,

please some one help me get rid of them i need a letter thats more comvinsing than the one i sent,

plus they think its my husband whos been talking to me like yer as if,they only think that cos i met him on a web site and they think hes corupt anyways even thoe hes the quietest mind my spellings im rubish and the kindest most humble hard working gentle person i could ever meet,

they dont no us they dont know me they deff dont know him, cos they never botherd to try

or is that cos we dont go on min 25 hour a day or what ever. help im pathetic and a mess and feel surounded by wolfs.

btw, i'm not advocating or opposing the celebration of holidays, just giving a perspective we've taken recently.].

this is our first xmas and iv got a tree and all the decorations and cant wait to put it all up,my kids thoe arnt as exited as i thought they woud be

but thats my fault as iv taught em all there lifes not to do it,

iv got so many pressys for them aswell,

i just dont no whats the best time to put the tree and all up,

iv also been reading on some sites religiose ones about xmas and iv decided its ok why would god be so petty about celebrating it,plus it says in a scripture i read last night in the old testerment

il have to find were i read it but cant rem right now,

that it dont matter about celebrating festivals or the new moon and stuff like that so to me that means xmas and what ever else when i rem were i read it il post it on,

im still a beleiver in god im just not a beleiver in jws so for me i just feel uncomfortable about doing something wrong if it says in bible not to do it,but it dont say not to do it so i am.

When a person gets disfellowshipped, why do the elders say no longer one of JW's.

by Joliette in

i've been meaning on asking this, and i forgot to post it when i first joined this website..

serein

so this week im no longer a jw and the congregation will never no i didnt do anything wrong only that my eyes were opend and i saw the light,and want to be true to god and not man,ow and almost died if it wasnt for blood theyl all prob think iv done something realy bad, owel,they never talked to me anyways so wont miss anything,

Why do we call Jehovah by his first name and not our parents?

by life is to short in

i owe this question entirely to hadit but i cannot get this thought out of my head.

all i heard growing up was that we have to call god jehovah because they are many god's, this way jehovah knows we are trying to speak to him.

that is just one of many reasons the fds and wt say to why we much call him jehovah.

serein

I don't think we need to use gods name jehovah, as we pray through jesus anyways to get to him.

I think god knows if we are praying to him or not.

Why on earth would we want to pray to a false god when we know they are not real.

Also, I think if we were praying to the devil we'd use his name or something and be doing something pagan while doing it.

It's all so stupid, we don't even pronounce god's name right anyways. No one really knows how to say his name.

If he did want us to say his name don't you think he'd have made sure it was wrote properly in the bible for us to use. Or made sure it wasn't changed/hid/removed/etc from the bible.

left and now lost

by serein in

im luke warm and dont know what side im on, i dont mix well and i dont want to be worldly if u know what i mean,im a good person with morals and nowadays thers not many of us left., not were i live anyways,its so hard leaving it behind cos now i duno what to do with myself, and i dont want to go out and live it up or go on face book or go meet loads a worldly people and be like everyone else, and i dont wana celebrate pagan hols even thoe i might do xmas i still feel weird doing that.i dont feel right with myself one bit..

serein

sorry if i spell things wrong,

i do have dyslexia

but sometimes i dont put the full word in and try to make it short so spell it a bit "diff,"like just then instead of different,

some people on here are the ones im talking about when i mean not nice people, i dont mean to us worldly,

were i live most people arnt nice, they either drugies, trouble makers or sumat,and im not being over paranoid either,

even the babys toddlers run around on streets swearing,

so my house is a bit out of the way,

but if i go out that kind of problem is everywere,

so thats what kind of people i mean,

people who wont work, nasty theifing drugies and gangs,

do u realy think i should start becomeing freinds with that kind of person cos im not,

i do have a few freinds were my son plays sports and iv started to becoem quite freindly with a few they nice,

its just hard when u live some were totaly horrible,

i want to try to find freinds who are similer to me,

iv tryed churches in the past befor i started going to jws, but wasnt comfortable with there teachings either,

i do think its a prob i have not just cos of being in the jws,

im a bit agoraphobic,have been all my life, its hard making freinds and going out,

but i do try, for my kids sake, i keep it quiet no one even knows how i feel in my family as iv never told them,

i wish i could find a place church or sumat that didnt judge u and i could just walk in and sit and listen then go home with no one wanting me to join

or some kind of group who studie the bible but dont follow a religion, but want to try keeping with it if u know what i mena,dont get me wrong im, when i was young i was a biker for a wile and hung out but i was like 16 and it dint last as i felt uncomfortable and so i have done stuf tryed being out there in world befor deciding on setling down and folowing what i realy wanted to do like find the right path ,do what it says in bible, thats what got me in the jw religion in first place,

im so gulible looking for the truth,

iv always been looking since a young girl ,

so im on a path dont know were its going yet,but dont want to be drawn in to another religion,

just want to do things on my own,

everyones "diff "right

the jws didnt make me the way i am iv always been like this,

im antisocial to some degree, but not at all thinking im a better person than others and they not good enogh, just im not comfortable being in the world around me. at mo. so coming out of jw isnt a help as i felt more comfortable with the people in it as regards morals but that was it they werent realy my freinds, its leaving and not noing were to start my life now.

u know what im so pathetic im gona have to pull myself together,

iv decided to do xmas so thats a start my be next year il be singing a diff tune and be much better in myself.
