  Practical Problems Arising From Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses - not on jw.org

  by InterestedOne in

  what practical problems arise from leaving jehovah's witnesses?

  this question was inspired by a poster whose jw friend refused to be a reference for an apartment.

  i wonder if most jw's know deep down that they need to maintain some ties with non-jw's in case they find themselves either deciding to leave or ostracized for some reason..

  Lost best friend...

  by lostinnj83 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i am not even out yet and i feel as though i have already lost my best friend.. i asked her if i could use her as a reference on an apartment rental if i decide to go the route of separation from my husband.

  she knows all of what i went through in my marriage and how much pain and suffering that i have endured.. at first she said yes, no problem, then she asked if i would be speaking to the elders about it, and i said no, she asked why not, i said that is my choice to do or not do.. her response was that i pray and speak to the elders and that she thinks it best that i don't use her as a reference because she would feel that she was supporting my decision to separate.

  i said fine but i also said that her response seems to be more of a concern about me speaking to the elders rather than being concerned for my well being.

  Avoiding Homelessness

  i'm falling apart here.

  the false teachings of the jw enrage me; we started covering the information for the jeremiah book, and i was outraged at how they twist up the scriptures to meet what they want to say.

  my dad wants to consider the "god's love" book during family worship evening.

  Your God asks for too much

  i was wondering (again) about what i got out of my deal with mormon god.

  the more i thought about it the more i realised that the xian god asks way too much and offers too little.. what does xg demand:.

  1 - obedience to changeable often arbitrary commandments normally with little clarification of when and when not to apply them.

  Apostates are narrow-minded victims of brainwashing who believe everything they read

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  or so says the person who left this comment on jwsurvey.org.... what just amazes me is how people can pass judgement on others, make vast sweeping statements and make out that they know best.

  this isnt just based on this page, but other pages ive read on this website.

  while youre at it why not just say all black people are criminals, all asians are rapists and all white people molest their children.

  Do the "friends" tend to project their views onto others?

  by magotan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "those worldy people are so lost" - utterence of any sort of familial hardship; divorce, ect.. .

  (df'ed person is seen in a public setting) "they look so sad, they don't have jehovah's blessing".

  how do you know if they're sad or not?
