Havent gone to the kingdom hall in ten years but may have to go back...
by Joliette inmade a big mistake of talking about being raised as a jehovah's witness to some old friends and family.
people have told me that i am still a jws even though i've never been baptized.
i'm in school for social services, dealing with student loan debt, and a lot of other debt.

The mind control that they use is irreversible.
Not so. When you realize it's mind control it is completely reversible.
However I also realize that some people need their cult - they cannot survive without it. As you mentioned earlier, suicides are way to common among both active JWs and ex-JWs. I suppose it's better to be in a cult and be alive than to be away from the cult and not be alive.
All the best to you, whatever you choose.

Like I mention, some people leave the watchtower and are really successful, but some people are not.
You have described your financial situation as being bleak. I'm confused ... how are you imagining you are going to get support from JWs except for words? If you return to that Organization you won't get any more real help from them than from your 'worldly' associates.
There is not enough offline, direct support. There is good online support, but you have to find the right people to talk to.
Again, except for the words, when you "find the right people to talk to," how is online or offline support from JWs going to help you, since there isn't any?
I'm starting to really understand why the suicide rate for this religion is so high.
If you get that, then why in the world would you want to return to THAT Organization?

We do not attempt to make choices for others.
"That's Precious."
It certainly is. When I read it I was immediately reminded that taking a blood transfusion is still on the books as being a disfellowshipping offense!

Past Watchtower Society Comments On Vaccines
by BluesBrother intoday there is a lot of hope placed in a vaccines to immunise against covid 19 , and relief that they are soon to be available.
that will be shared by the eight million or so jws in this world.
they should be thankful that the wts has moved away from its teaching ,that lasted for decades , proclaiming that vaccination was wrong, and a tool of satan.

Small Pox was a major reason to get vaccinated during the time when JWs were rejecting that treatment.
According to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Small Pox is the only human disease to be eradicated from the planet Earth. (I seem to remember reading about one other human disease that is now gone too, but I can't remember what it was.)
The last case of Small Pox happened in the 1980s thanks to the vaccination against it, and no thanks to the Watchtower Organization of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Jehovah`s witnesses not the only religion GOD is using now ?
by smiddy3 inwhen confronted with angus stewart’s blunt question “do you see yourselves as jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth?” the answer that came from jackson’s lips was astounding.. “that i think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.
the scriptures clearly show that someone can act in harmony with god’s spirit in giving comfort and help in the congregations, but if i could just clarify a little, going back to matthew 24, clearly, jesus said that in the last days ‐ and jehovah’s witnesses believe these are the last days ‐ there would be a slave, a group of persons who would have responsibility to care for the spiritual food.
so inthat respect, we view ourselves as trying to fulfill that role.”.

FedUpJW: "With all due deference to SV, I had not read all replies before making my own. At the mouth of two or more witnesses??"
Yes, there you have it! 😊
