One of the businesses I cover is owned by JWs and the father and 2 sons knew me as an active brother until 3 years ago when I told one of them I no longer attend the meeting. Today the father and one of the sons asked me if I was still inactive. I told them it has been more than 5 years since I last been at a meeting. The father talked about the November video where a governing body member warmly invites people in my situation to return. I replied that I have not seen the video but that I read the brochure since my wife is still active and brought it home and added this brochure doesn't address why left. I said that I wouldn't be returning to the same religion I left with all the recent changes. As an example I talked about the use of video broadcast especially when the organisation condemned the televangelists. He replied that televangelists were doing it to raise money, to which I replied the Watchtower was doing the same. They said the GB were shifting the way the donations were going to be used to expand the preaching work, not paying to service bethelites or special pioneers. Since there is a lower demand for printed material fewer workers are needed. They both believed that the changes were very positive since it sends more people in the field where the need is great. They asked me to look at the broadcast and the father said he would check with me if I did the next time I visit. Both had the typical JW fake smile and they were fully convinced of Christ direction in all the organisational changes...Because I was on company time and will be returning to conduct business I just couldn't hit them with the real issues that made me leave the cult because I am absolutely sure they would freak out.

ATT: WARNING
by EJ257 inplease be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.
this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.
at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

When I was a JW I wasn't a moral person because I obeyed all the rules by sense of duty. Today I follow my conscience and I am custodian of my morality. I no longer have to consult others before I decide to give money to charity or to share a meal with someone who has a different religious view or sexual orientation. I have become more tolerant of others and no longer feel the need to prove anyone wrong.Link +5 / -0 -
