I feel so sad for you...you have given so much of your life to Jehovah and then you gave up when under test.
Jehovah does not forget what you did for his name. But girl, you failed a test that all of Jehovah's Witnesses have to go thru. WE DO NOT SERVE AND WORSHIP PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY IMPERFECT PEOPLE!
You were tested like Job but you forgot to turn to Jehovah in pray to help you during the hardest test we all go thru. He would have guided you on what to do... then you would know for sure that He is real.
Are you with your new church people praising Jehovah and teaching people about the only hope of the Kingdom? You know you
are not...but you know deep down that is what we are to do.
Jehovah has a perfect track record, EVERYTHING he says is going to happen...
Jesus said these apostates would come. They have all decided to jump off the bridge and you have followed. Just like Judas Escariot.
If I would have stayed in the Kingdom Hall just because of the people, imperfect people just like me, believe me I would have left a long time ago. I love Jehovah and if he allows certain things to continue for a time, then that is His decision.
Satan is the one testing all of Jehovah's people...he wants company.
And all those aposates that have failed their test of faith in Jehovah want company too. And they cry about it all over the internet.
Why are they not coming to my door if they are so loving and they know what is going to happen in the future?
I cannot begin to tell you all the stuff I have personally gone thru over the years but I can tell you, I have seen ALOT. And each time I have had to make personal adjustments and sometimes even changed congregations where there were even apostates within, girl we are close to the end and you HAVE TO have a close relationship with Jehovah to get thru this. It is the only way...Please find a Hall that you feel comfortable and loved in...I know it is there for you... for sure...I trust in Jehovah! NOT imperfect MAN!

Here's my story (I'm new here)....
by crownboy in
1. jw
2. experiences
i am a 4th generation witness (on both sides of the family) and indeed my entire family (save for the few who "fall away" in every family) are jehovah's witnesses.

my dad is an elder, my mom a regular pioneer and my two elder sisters the same.

my younger sister is 17 and still unbaptized, so therefore she is sort of a "black sheep" in our family and "spiritually weak" for not having already "taken the dip in the pool" (however, due to her overall open-minded nature, i am perhaps closest to her).

Shepherding Visit - Update
by stevieb1 in
1. jw
2. experiences
you may have read my thread from last week entitled "my personal turmoil" in which i discussed my congregation elders wanting to meet with me to "encourage" me to believe that jehovah is using the watchtower society as his organization.

i said in that thread that i had told them to leave me alone, well anyway on tuesday night the same elder phoned me to accept a "shephering visit" and again i refused.

not taking no for an answer he approached me again in the kingdom hall on thursday and told me that i must accept a shepherding visit out of necessity because i was in spiritual danger and the elders wanted to "help".

I need your advice
by cecil in

2. friends
i need your advice: i have written a letter to my branch office regarding my problems with the 607-chronology 60+ pages with short references about the issue, that i have collected through the past 9-10 years.

at the end of my letter i asked 14 questions 7 questions regarding the biblical evidence against the 607 bce-chronology and 7 questions regarding the historical and astronomical evidence against it.. the letter i received as an answer did not contain anything that could qualify as an answer or even an attempt to answer my questions.

i called the branch office by phone and talked to the brother who had written the answer.

Why JWs and ex JWs Return to Watchtower 3
by Victor_E in
1. jw
2. friends
this post is an attempt to explain the paradoxical return of ex-jws back to the watchtower.

my premise is that a persons unconscious mind has a positive intent in leading them back to the former environment and the intent is of intrinsic value within individuals.. developmental psychology tells us there are six primary developmental stages in a persons life.

if a person experiences developmental gaps or underdevelopment of a stage all the others that follow will not develop properly and these will be affected.
