by Jehovahisgod in

disfellowshipped for having a personal opinion based on WT

by Leslie in

in 2008 i was baptized into the truth after leaving a trinitarian faith.

during my eight years as a jehovah’s witness, i strived to keep the standards set by the bible, wt and the faithfull and discrete slave.

but unfortunately, the congregational elders from the kingdom hall i attended were not keeping to jehovah’s standards, hence, wrote my letter of resignation.

My family are nolonger Jw's. We Don't follow their rules or policies. Df'd ,Da'd, whatever! Yeah, we use to do that. But now we do what we want. Some old guys in Warwick are not going to tell us how to live.

Being a Jw leads to Homelessness.

by kairos in

For " Clown College " or to be a used car salesman which is not a bad thing but when you're a dub.

Watchtower Museums

now covid restrictions are over, they're pushing on with watchtower museums at many locations through out the world.. looks to me as if they'll be pretty boring.

a few old bibles and photos of the witnessing work from way back when.. one things for sure is they won't include anything relating to constantly changing doctrines or have libraries full of old publications that have since been swept under the carpet..

Who wants to see a bunch of Watchtower 's and Awake 's with the same crap in them and have to pay to see it? Not me, and not normal people.

What Percentage of active JW's are on Anti-Depressants?

by Sea Breeze in

jw
friends

i came across an xjw post on redditt from a rn.

she states that nearly every jw she ever treated was on anti-depressants or anti-psychotic drugs:.

https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/f35vaa/just_about_every_jw_i_come_across_is_on/ i once read somewhere that 1 in 5 jw's were on anti-depressants, but i couldn't find any documentation.

My wife, mother, and sisters mental health has improved considerably since we all stopped being Jw's. II know for myself, I'm less stressed and nolonger on eggshells.

boners by fine JWs

by enoughisenough in

as a jw, did you ever know of totally unchristian behavior ( boners) by some "fine" witnesses?

i know of more than my fair share and will reveal some.

an elder/pioneer kicked his elderly wife who had alzheimer's out.

My first job was with a uber jwdub building construction contractor. He never paid me my wages, infact , he short changed me. Years went by and I got certified as an Structural Inspector. I found out that this guy was cutting corners on projects. You can say it cost his certification as a builder as the fines mounted. Not a good person.

What Would Grandfather Say Now?

by LostintheFog1999 in

my late grandfather believed he was one of the anointed.

that aside when asked about whether the jw organisation would last, he would pull out the attached wt magazine (the second edition) and say "if the day ever comes when the organisation asks for money outright, it will be proof that jehovah is not it's backer.

" that's how convinced he was that such a thing would never happen.. i often wonder what my grandfather would make of the modern organisation today..

My Grandfather always said Watchtower is up to no good! A wise man!

Does becoming (or remaining) one of Jehovah's Witnesses result in Poverty? Pew Research results differ from Watchtower claims.

by Balaamsass2 in

"raised in the truth" during the 50s, 60s,and 70s i repeatedly read and heard from the platform how reading the magazines weekly "was the equivalent of a college education" and how many had turned their family economic situation around by being "trustworthy" and giving up expensive bad habits most "worldly people" had.

sounded good.. what is the reality?

how does avoiding higher education, and then spending up to 20 hours a week getting ready for, commuting, and then participating in meetings and field service affect family finances?.

Magical Sky Daddy is going to provide for you, oh , please! Heard that so many times. Does it work? Nope. Only in Dreamland of some Jw's.

We tried the Jw life, it's just not practical.
