Hypocrisy Within My Own Family

by Reborn2002 in

yesterday my brother (ever-loyal witness baptized same day as me 10 years ago; who is married to a holier-than-thou regular pioneer and subsequently with her encouragement has since avoided me as much as possible since i da myself) and his wife (see description above) came over to visit.. well.. shooting the proverbial shit, we got to the topic of movies.

asking politely if he or his wife had seen lord of the rings.. she interjected that it was inappropriate because it suggested wizardry and spiritism, and would never see such filth.

trying very hard to remain polite, my mom noticed the pause and said if they wanted to borrow any movies we have on tape to watch at home.. sneaky as i am, while they flapped their gums with my parents i glanced in the bag to see what they borrowed.. they took:.

Hello All. I would like to post my personal experience here because I can't tell anyone else. Here goes:

I met my boyfriend when I was 15--I am 20 now. We couldn't help falling in love, and we both made extreme sacrifices to be together. Within the past year, he started pressuring me to start studying and to do what I was supposed to; I love him soooo much, and so I just went along with it; I would do anything for him. I would do anything for him because he was my everything. Damn, I really love him...

In my studies with one of the women in the nearby kingdom hall, I started seeing things that I couldn't bring myself to believe. I couldn't accept that there were punishments given to those who were 'weak,' or that so much time had to be devoted to field service--UGH!!! (I admit that I dreaded that I, one day, would have to go out at 8 in the morning to preach door-to-door.) I figured that I was thinking badly, and that I just didn't know it all, and that I just had to have faith. To clear things up, I thought of researching the Internet to find the exact beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses and to see where my mistakes had been made.

WELL!!! Thank God for the Internet!!! I saw everything -- and am happy that I was exposed when I was!! I see the way things really are, and I am completely disgusted!! My boyfriend, on the other hand, has been a jw since birth. I knew that to get him out, I would have to organize everything before I came at him with all of this information (He always has a rebuttal--as a good jw should.) I figured that he would listen to me at least...

Oh man, it was awful. He couldn't answer any of my questions, and in his frustration towards me and his faith in the organization, he totally turned on me. Sadly, I saw how completely sucked in he really was. In short, our 5-year relationship has come to an end, and it truly, truly hurts me in every way imaginable... I just want everyone to know that, as a person with a mind of my own and a mouth of my own, I will never forgive the Watchtower Society. They have taken away the only thing that I needed in my life to be happy. What is wrong with them???? What evil (yes, EVIL) would possess them to manipulate the lives of good people??? Does the governing body smile on the fact that they are ruining people's lives?? That they are tearing people apart??

If there are any jws out there who are reading this story, I know that I may have seriously offended you, but you must know that I am a very loving person, and that I truly hope and pray that one day you will understand that the Watchtower is not giving you a chance at life, but is taking it away.

To the members of this website, thank you for just being here. I pray that I can replace some of the void in my heart with the generous amount of love I have seen you all give to others here. I appreciate you all. And I will definitely be here to show my kindness and love to any of you who desire it. Thank you for listening:)

whaaaa?

i wrote a letter to the society months ago asking for a subscription.

it's been so long that i forgot all about it.

malian

in response to the first article on the page--the one about prayer--according to my handy dandy "what does god require of us?" brochure, god only listens to the prayers of the righteous! so just to let you all know, since we are all here on this apostate site, dont bother praying--according to the watchtower, jehovah says you arent worth hearing; a loving god? i think not. disgusting, isn't it??

like many others, i have not been able to change the views of my dear love, who has been brain-washed by the wts...(sigh).... however, i am waiting for the prophecy of 1914 to fail; the world will live on, and our loved ones will at least have a seed of doubt planted in their mind.

to all: be patient!

i think that it will be a real eye-opener for many.

Guess now I'm the devil???

by Serena in

i think he got disfellowedship from the hall for our fornications.

this happened last night, and i am going crazy cuz now he won't tell me what happened, but i think he got axed.

and so now, guess i am the devil?????????

malian

I forgot to add:
Are you the devil? Definitely not. You are someone that has extreme love and care for your boyfriend. The elders may have told him that he should refrain from seeing you, and that he should become friends with those of the congregation. (This is the idea of staying in the "middle of the flock.") Hopefully, your boyfriend will see who has true love for him.

I have a story for you. One time, my ex's "friend" turned him into the elders for fornicating with me. All he told me was that the elders had a talk with him about me, and that it wouldn't be a "good idea to see [me] anymore." In previous conversations with him, I could tell that he was a bit embarassed to tell me some of their crazy beliefs. I am sure that the elders told him that I was an apostate, and that I was tempting him to sin against Jehovah. I think that he refrained from telling me this because he didn't want to hurt my fellings, or sound stupid.
Though I know he has doubts about his religion, I also know that he will never admit them to me, and especially himself. I have gone through it all; I have questioned him, argued with him, begged him, and flat-out shown him the REAL "truth." I have not succeeded in bringing him back to reality, due to the extreme brain-washing the Society has done to him.
I hate to sound so negative, but I want you to know that through all of this, I have had much pain. I still cry, and I will always miss him. I have also lost five years of my life that I thought would be the first five years of a life-long relationship. Dear, I will pray that you have success if you decide to try to change him, but I also will pray that you will keep yourself from suffering too long if your boyfriend refuses to budge. My best wishes to you; please let me know if you succeed where I have failed.
