  Ozzie's Weekend Poll

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, it's sunday and we've done reading the sunday papers, so thought it might be nice to poll the worldwide community on some important issues.

  no, it's not meant to be fluff, i'm serious in inviting opinions from exdubs in many places, so please respond.

  this week i've chosen the question especially for the large worldwide da/df community: what is the main reason for you not wanting to return?.

  I believed it all except Jesus not having a beard & him coming invisably in 1914- But when they corrected their error & said Jesus DID have a beard- I got baptised in 1963-I thought if they correct their errors they must have truth-so I still didnt believe in 1914.
  Then after over 20 years service- they said "You must believe Jesus came in 1914-or your Not a JW-"( WT April 1st 1986 pg 31 "Questions From Readers")They DF me 1987-Then I read C.ofC.Met other Ex JW -found they had more love & unconditional love -I didnt have to believe as they did

  my story

  hey everyone...i'm new here and i thought i'd give you my story.. i was raised in "the truth".

  my mother is still a witness of over 25 years, and a pioneer for over 10. my father is not in the truth.

  he was supportive of my mother in her pioneering and everything, and he used to come to meetings occasionally when i was younger, but started coming less and less until he only came to the memorials.

  you are driving along on a wild and stormy night.

  you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people huddled on a bench, waiting for the bus: .

  1. an old woman who looks as if she is dying.

  i moved recently and while unpacking my boxes i discovered my journal that i started keeping a few years ago but have since not written in.

  i think that whats in it may be helpful to some lurkers out there who are in the situation i was in at the time a lot of it was written.

  i dont have anyone.

  ((( Flower))) I read your post -So glad your still here.One of the young Mothers in our group took an overdose two days ago.She studied
  with the JW-believed it all- was devastated when she relized it was not the truth.She is married to a man who was going to leave her if she remained a JW. Has two kids one 14 the other 12. She feels so guilty at Christmas, birthdays, Mothers day, Even though she relized they dont have the love they profess,But you see what it does to folks.She is pulling through. But now her husband tells me He is considering divorce- if she doesnt relize it is stupid- He has never been a JW( not a believer in anything religiously)Only those who have been there done that understands .I think someone may read your post
  who was also thinking like you. I read some of my old diaries too, I was always talking of how I failed-If Jah would forgive me. Boy talk
  about the blind leading the blind Thank GOD we have the blinders off.
  You know my feelings about you darling- The gift God gave in that little boy to you is a gift indeed. Love ya. Grace

  i found an ex-jw website that stated that this person was an elder for 35 years and has an ex-jw support group in columbus ohio.

  well, the link to his homepage brought nothing up, and the phone # listed is disconnected.

  does anybody know cal personally, has he gone back to the borg?

  Yes Misty -I do it too. One time to of us ( both ex) went to church on rememberance day & they played the national Anthem-& we both broke dow. Everyone looked at us like we were?????
  I believe as JW we suppressed out emotions.
