  The Sting of Death Due to the JWS.

  "i think if you fall for the belief of a resurection it may make one more able to accept the loss of someone close to them, but in the long run for many it increases the sting of death, because when a person is thinking they will never grow old in this system and they find themselves growing old it is a big disapointment, and it makes one more unwilling to accept the inevitable, the pain may be more acute than for someone who expects to die some day and has learned to live with the idea that life is not everlasing.".

  this is a clip a that someone wrote back in 2005. it is so damn true.

  we're given this 'fairy-tale' as jdubbs, that when we were in our teens, 20's, 30's, and now 40''s that we would never experience sickness and old age.

  Hey, Lola-Rabbit! Exactimoniously!!!!!! I REFUSE!!! I'm 41 years old. I'm starting to have aches and pains that I didn't think I'd ever have! I'm just pissed!!! I've lost my beautiful Dad! All he ever wanted was to live and have a good time in life! I cry just thinking of the look on his face in those last few weeks of his life. He was PISSED!!! Up until the last day, his last breath, HE KNEW HE WOULD NOLONGER EXIST AND SEE HIS FAMILY. Hell!!! He didn't even die 'an old man'!!!!! I'm sure in his mind he was praying EVERDAY, " Jehovah, please let this system end and let's get into Paradise today!

  This religion, as well as all other promising CULTS, need to be prosecuted and disbanned!

Our parents who waited so 'loyally' have now experienced cancer and have now passed away at the young age of 66. My beautiful Dad was baptised in this CULT in 1978 when he was only 35. So, for 32 years of having children and slaving for this damned CULT...he is gone. Erased from existence.

  ....and we too shall follow....and it hurts like hell.

  WAKE UP & LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST! LEAVE THIS LIFE EXHAUSTED! Slap a Jehovah's Witness and tell them you love them! They need to wake the hell up!

  @LOST GENERATION- U said it!!!! I watched CNN regarding Steve Jobs message @ a college graduation. Tears came to my eyes! He spoke of how we only have a short appointed time here in this life. What will we do to live it to it's fullest. Should you let 'someone else' direct YOUR life? No! I am SOOOOOOO DAMN HAPPY I got out of the Borg!

  Get out of this demented cult if you love life! I don't know if we'll get another after this one.

  @ ambersun- I hear U...anger IS NOT strong enough of a word!

  I believe that ONE DAY IT WILL END!!! What I DEPLORE is the damning insistency that it was ALWAYS referred towitha time frame attached. My parents weren't fervent or concrete JWs. But, they practiced it, as though did many others. And yet, along the way....we lost my Dad in the summer of 2010. I'm telling you, he was angry, disappointed, and scared in the end. What int he world!!!!! He was only 66 and was dying....from cancer.

  UUUmmm.....we were supposed to be out of this by 1975. My parents were baptized in 1976 when "Jehovah was giving all these new-comers a chance". And the dates keep rolling.................

  I left the organization @ 4 years before Dad passed awawy due to being married to a crooked elder. Seeing the hypocrisy amongst many of the elders. I think they feel I'll come back seeing that my Dad has passed. No, I will not submit myself to another 25 years of sheer bullsh***!!!!!

  @happyexjw - Thanks so much. Let me clarify....my uncle passed away 25 years ago. I was a child. Now I'm a grown woman. Things like that can hurt a person seeing that that time has come and gone many times over. Of course, they preach this because it makes you so damned determined to welcome that person back...in 2 years.

  So sad this religion.

  Also, I did change my personality. I needed to just to survive. My parents raised me to be meek and by nature I was EXTREMELY naieve, overly-humble and could NEVER see the the wrong in people. I was an ever optimist but not a realist. Being a JW really hurt me socially because I "turned the other cheek" a bit too damn much. I wasn't having problems w/worldy people. It was the crazy/insecure JWS!

  Ireally had to 'grow up". It didn't happen until I turned 30. It was like walking out of the darkest room. I started "making plans" on how to live MY life. The questions I would ask my worldly workmates (politics, education, just living...) were so embarassing to me. But, I couldn't ask another JW cuz they didn't know either AND how dare I ask such questions! This System is ending I my questions were of a worldly nature and mundane!

  Oh, yes! I had to change. I wanted to LIVE. Just simply live....Like get up on a Saturday morning and pour milk in my cereal and sit there and eat it and watch cartoons....at the age of 30....like a normal person, ya' know?

  FROM ILOVEBIRTHDAYS - Yes. I became a whole lot more outgoing, much more tolerant and less judgemental, and stopped being afraid of everything. I keep working on trying to not have to justify everything I do to people who don't need me to justify anything, but I haven't ditched that yet.

  OMG!!! You said a mouthful!!! I'm the same way!
