  Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word For The WTBTS To Say!

  by JW GoneBad in

  2. experiences

  sorry to raymond and cynthia franz for expelling them on trumped-up charges and forcing them from there bethel home.. sorry for demonizing many of raymond's accomplishmets, such as 'the aid to bible understanding' (the blue book) that he had a hand in putting together and that too many old timers remember who grew fond of reading to expand their bible knowledge.. sorry to oompa for disfellowshipping him and causing him to be shunned to the point where he couldn't take it any longer and wound up taking his own life.

  .

  sorry seems to be the hardest word for the wtbts to say!.

  Sorry we made you marry "only in the lord," which means you had to choose your mate from a very small group of individuals in your local and age group. This was why I had two awful JW husbands who felt they could be lackluster husbands because I was forced to stay married to them and submit to whatever they dished out in order to please Jehovah, our kind, loving, invisiable Sky Daddy.

  Oh what a mess when an organization thinks they are so blessed by god that they can make up their own rules.

  "all of our teachings are based on the bible, not on the writings of some religious leader in the united states.

  "1 thessalonians 2:13. http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/not-a-sect/.

  all of the teachings (i counted 8) which have been reversed in the july 15th watchtower were based on the bible???????????.

  It is a cult, you know. I guess we can't expect too much of them.

  All of the old folks that were faithful when I was a little girl are dead now. I have seen generations of JW's die waiting. It works for them, what can I say.

  the day i've been waiting for is here.

  i'm flying home to see family and some old friends, most of whom are jw.

  since learning ttatt a few months back, i came to the decision i would have to tell my parents that we are no longer active and don't have any plans to return.

  Fading hurts so much!!

  by ILoveTTATT in

  yet another update on my story:.

  for various reasons, i still have to go to all meetings.

  (i am looking to change my personal circumstances to allow me to live somewhere else so i can fade easier)... i actually don't mind going to the mid-week meeting since i can comment on the bible reading, and slowly but surely i can introduce little seeds of cognitive dissonance... making it seem like i am super interested in what the interlinear says or that people can actually go and check out the manuscripts for themselves online!

  I quite cold turkey, I couldn't stand being inside the Kingdom Hall once I learned ttatt. I am sorry you still have to suffer through those mind numbing meetings.
