After leaving did the feeling go away?

by committeechairman in

the feeling that you're never good enough.

the feeling that you're wicked and evil.. .

because i'd give anything not to feel this way.

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

by Funchback in

there were many addressed to me.

for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

After Death Communications in the JW community

by jack2312 in

my name is jack and i'm looking for after death communications from the jehovah witness community.

an after death communication (or adc) is when a loved one sends a kind of message to this side of life after their death.

it can be a dream or smell (like perfume or roses that would be attached to them in memory) or a feeling of their presence.

Ghosts still have to go for a piss in the middle of the night. Wow who would have thought it?

Think it was number two, evidently was a smell.

Why did you choose Jehovahs Witnesses?

by vinman in

i'm wondering why ones on this forum initially became jw's.

if you were born in, why did you make it "your own"?

if you became one later, what was your draw and driving force?

Ucantnome

If you were born in, why did you make it "your own"?

Because I loved God and believed it was the right thing to do.

Same with leaving, Because I loved God and believed it was the right thing to do.

Where you are in your life now.....What would you have preferred .... To be left in ignorance ? ...Or to know the truth about the truth

by smiddy in

jw
friends

i think possibly their are a few valid reasons for either options to this question ,depending on a number of factors .. such as how old you might be, how long you have devoted your life to the "truth" as you believed it .

?....how it may affect your mental/physical health and well being.?.

how it will affect your financial position in your life ,?

i dont think it was a choice of remaining ignorant or not. it was whether or not i could subscribe to the belief. i couldn't. no one showed me.

it wasn't whether i was right or wrong it was just that i couldn't be a JW and preach the 'good news'

i was financially better off before i left. I don't consider myself better or worse. I think they are mistaken in their theology, which i think is unfortunate.
