Honestly that's what the wts encourages the bros to do. They have put an increased emphasis on getting people in the doors of the Kingdom Hall. By what you are saying I see why.

so sad..

Finally time to move on

by Bungi Bill in

jw
friends

i have finally reached the point where i can forget that i was ever involved with such a $!%* cult as jehovahs witnesses.

(a situation that has taken over 20 years to achieve).. this discussion board certainly helped in this process, and i want to thank everybody for their support over the time that i have been a member both of this site and the old www.jehovahs-witness.com website (where i used the acronym reefton jack).

it is now, though, time to move on with my life, so i will say my farewells to everybody.. bill .

Good luck and may your life be full of the happiness that you deserve!!

Need advice

by Darkknight757 in

hi.i've been pouring over this site for the past few days looking for some advice and i hope there is someone here that can help a guy out.

i'm desperate.....short bio: i came into the organization after high school and shortly after married a wonderful girl who was born-in.we have been happily married now for nearly 20 years and things were well until 2015 hit.

by the way, i currently serve as an elder and have the ""privilege"" of being the "watchtower overseer".. either here nor there, we were told we would never have children but late last year my wife became prego!!

Without getting all sappy I have to say truly that the expressions from all of you have been 1000 times more encouraging than what we have received these last 6 months. Thank you for the kind thoughts.

Ive been pouring over jwfacts.com and am appalled but relieved too to see that my thoughts about the org have been correct.

Very interesting!!

"Take it from me go slow plant seeds of discontent and have your wife start taking herbs and suplements. My mother misscaried for years until she did this then she had my sister when she was over the age of 40"

Yea she is big into the herbs. She has chronic health issues but does surprisingly well. We are going to see a fertility Dr. and see what they suggest. She can become preg, just can't hold on to them. Probably auto-immune.

Either way I'll take the suggestions and keep lurking here for more advice/experiences.

This board has brought much relief already.

Thank you for the kind thoughts. The other Elders know I have been depressed as does my wife. As Punkofnice and OneEyedJoe said, perhaps the stepping down thing won't be much of a problem after all. I really need to spend time with my wife and this responsibility that I blindly took up takes up so much free time a long with having a full time job.

In reality, I wouldn't mind so much supporting my wife if she decided to stick with the meetings for a time. I often wonder by her attitude toward things if maybe we share similar thoughts. She never takes a door in the ministry and I can see the anxiety on her face before going to the meetings.

By the way, I currently serve as an Elder and have the ""privilege"" of being the "Watchtower overseer".

Either here nor there, we were told we would never have children but late last year my wife became prego!! It was fantastic. We were so elated!!Unfortunately 20 weeks in we lost our baby. This was a great blow and during this time I really started to take a fresh look at my life. I noticed one broadcast were Brother Lett was toting the gold pinky ring while asking for more money and that kinda made me mad.Worse and most offensive was the Regional Convention encouraging parents to withhold drivers licenses to children until they "dedicate themselves to Jehovah."Either way my wife and I have since lost a second baby and the friends at the hall just tell us, "Don't worry, you'll see them again in paradise." Yea right! It's hard to understand something you personally have never experienced. My poor wife just cries and it makes me so mad that she has to go through this.

My long story has a point though.I'm looking for help. I have no desire to serve and I really don't want to be a part of this organization any more. I have this Watchtower responsibility that just makes me sick. I hate referring to people as "unbelievers" and all the mind control.Grandpa always taught me to show love and respect to ALL people.How do I tell my wife who was born-in that I no longer wish to serve "the dark sheep?"How do I go about the fade being so deep in?My wife means more to me than anything and I'm so afraid of what could happen if I tell her how I feel. I know it sounds ridiculous but it's the truth.Please help!!!
