I think I made up my mind

by paradiseseeker in

jw
friends

a month ago i travelled alone to italy for three days and i had the opportunity to visit the beautiful florence and re-visit many parts of rome.. but most importantly, i had the opportunity to stay alone and think about my situation and to make up my mind.. i've had very clear for almost 5 years that i will eventually leave the religion, but i couldn't decide when.. but now i know : i will leave on april 20th, the day after the memorial.. that day i will talk to my parents (this is by far the hardest thing to do) and soon afterwards i will talk to my closest friends, then i will send my disassociation letter.

i know that i will let them down, i will hurt them, most probably some of them will cry... but i need to live coherently for the first time in my life.

i'm sure that living in this contradiction is affecting and will affect my mental health and it's time for me to help myself instead of others.

I am new here, well with an account, I’ve been reading this forum for some months now. I think you are very brave and I understand completely the pain you are going through. However I will give you this advice, I am an elder and maybe you are surprised that there are elders here, well don’t be. Even elders, COs and bethelites have doubts, in my personal case the only reason why I have decided to keep serving is because now I have a different purpose, my goal is to help the young ones awake by using different techniques, I’m not saying you have to do the same, I have followed this path because I think I can do a greater good by staying, and using my position to help more. For you is different, you need to preserve your mental health, something that some of us sadly have very damaged already. When you have this conversation with your friends and your parents invite then to think first, present proof of why you believe is wrong, and then explain that you are leaving. Do this with the elders as well on your letter. You know this is interesting but many people think that the elders are deaf and mute, but we listen to well thoughts ideas, and even though many won’t say that they agree with you, your words will resonate within their souls. Take care please of your health after you take that decision, also my advice would be don’t do it the 20th, if your parents are good witnesses this could be way more heart breaking, I’m not saying don’t do it, just be loving with them, remember this is not also hard for you but as well for them. And remember you are worth a lot, never forget that.

Preparing the sheeple for finally abandoning the significance of 1914

by under the radar in

we all know the society would love to get rid of all the problems caused by clinging to 1914 and all they claimed it meant for the last 100+ years.. it looks like they are laying the groundwork for easing away from the whole concept of 1914. this would also let them do away with the ridiculous "overlapping generation" bullcrap.

what a diaper load that has been.... anyway, the following is from their super secret marching orders for april, 2019. draw your own conclusions.... "3.

“100 years of faithfulness”: the coordinator of the body of elders, or another elder, should be invited to read the following special announcement.

I am new to this Forum. I don't know where they got the announce from, I am an elder, the coordinator of my congregation. The document that you are referring to is called the S-147 where we receive the monthly announcements, and the S-147 for April 2019 has nothing to do with that announcement.
