  I'm angry and scared

  by MoodyBlue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been out of the witnesses for a year...and in that span i've become more of a skeptic towards any sort of religion or god.

  i don't know if i will ever again have faith in a supernatural, all loving and powerful being.

  i suppose this is because the only god i really know anymore is jehovah of the watchtower- who to me is nothing more than a jealous, angry and vindictive creature.

  2. experiences

  wow, i haven't posted on here in a long time... i lurked, back in the winter of '00, and posted in early '01 a few times.

  looking back on those posts, and other stuff written, it amazes me how much can change... i thought to integrate myself into this web community i'd tell some of my story.... i was not raised in the truth.

  i fell in love with a jw boy when i was 20 and married him.

  df'ing in absentia...

  by MoodyBlue in

  2. friends

  i was wondering... can the elders df you in absentia if you haven't admitted to doing anything wrong??.

  my ex wanted his scriptural grounds for a divorce and i told him he had them.

  he went to the elders with this info and they called me up last night to try and get me to confess ( which i didn't- i told them it was none of thier business) they told me that they were having a judicial for me wed at 7, and i said i wouldn't be there.

  it feels great to be free.

  it feels great to go out with old girlfriends for beer and wings.

  it feels great to walk down the street and smile at people i don't know.

  Question about disfellowshipping

  by MoodyBlue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a question.... if the elders "catch wind" of something that could be a df'ing offense, and they ask for a judicial, if you don't show up or refuse to talk to them, can they disfellowship u in absence??

  if they can, is there any legal action that can be taken against it?.

  i've been threatened by my jw husband (we are separated) because i've met someone else...he is threatening to tell the elders i'm dating someone else ( though as of yet, no "fornication" has occured and it's long distance) if i don't write a letter of disassociation.

  by MoodyBlue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was talking to the hubby over the weekend.

  i mentioned the fact that so much of what witnesses do seems to be driven by guilt.

  he said "yes, that's because they have a conscience.

  Living A Lie

  by MoodyBlue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am sick of living a lie, yet afraid to change it.

  married to a man who refuses to listen, who would rather plug his ears and shout "nooooooo" is taking it's tole.

  i am afraid to speak my mind about my doubt, my thoughts, and what i'm learning, as i'm not ready to cross that point of no return.

  Good ol' 1914

  by MoodyBlue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok folks...i'm actually gonna stop lurking and post.... i am currently being 'studied' with to rectify my doubts (i'm baptized but considered inactive) i brought up the 607/1914 thing and the sister said she'd research it and get back to me... she didn't know about the 587 date (surprise surprise).

  anyway she came back to me saying something about just having to count back 70 years or something and voila!

  it was that simple... she also said the society had prophesied about 1914 being the end of the gentile times.... now i know that ain't so...there was prophecy yes, but it but it wasn't until after 1914 that the horn blowing started about the correctness of the date... 1874 immediately sprang to mind.
