Pioneers, Prayers and Pills

looking back on my two decades as a jehovah’s witness, i’ve come to realize how the constant theme of endurance is playing a detrimental role on the individual's psyche.. jehovah’s witnesses have become far too good at keeping going.

they’re experts at surrendering to the demands of the watchtower, living up to what’s expected of them, and getting on with the priorities that those in power have defined and imposed upon them.

they keep showing up, presenting themselves a dutiful pioneer or ministerial servant.

it was pretty mundane for the most part, same songs, same outline.

the only new thing they added was the video at the end, where stephen lett speaks to the visitors and commends them for coming and recommends they go to jwdotorg and also start a bible study.

they also showed a bar graph with figures increasing every year for jws, memorial attendance and memorial partakers.

so, as some of you will know myself and my husband are in the process of fading.

haven't been to a meeting since beginning of 2017. .

we weren't planning on going to the memorial, but last week my mother broke down and said that we have to go to the memorial even if it's the only meeting i go to this year.

as some of you may remember from a previous post of mine, myself and my husband are in the process of fading.

we began our fade in jan 2017 and haven't been to a meeting since may 2017. to say this time has been a struggle is an understatement.

it has been a lonely time for us, losing all of our so called friends.

i had this friend at school who is bisexual and she asked me to date twice both times i said no im not interested in girls that way but then she told everyone that we were dating and now im being called gay and lesbian.

one boy in my class said to me that im going against jws and then started calling me gay and other names.

then another girl in my class said theres nothing wrong with being gay and im being brainwashed by the jws..

confidential items are of most interest of course, just curious what they're talking about there in general and what are the newest things everyone is being warned about, etc.
