Feeling rejected
by Esmeralda001 injust a little disclaimer: english isn't my first language (i'm from france) thus the poor writing skills.here is the situation: i'm not a jw.
however, i'm in the process of becoming one.
in fact, i'm studying with the jw's, and i'll proceed to become an unbaptized publisher as soon as i finish the first book.to make a long story short i was introduced to the truth when i was 18een.

You said your friend 'warned you that JW's tend to overanalyze one another'- you then experienced that your friend was accurate. What good would moving congregation do? You now know that JW's have a tendency to act like the Pharisees, whatever congregation you move to you will again experience this fruitage of the JW organisation that you were forwarned of.
Indeed, read some articles on the JWfacts website. God will not be angry with you for analysing the facts about this Organisation.
Your English is excellent, better than many of us natives!

2.2 Data on reporting to police 61 The analysis conducted by Royal Commission staff showed that of the 1,006 alleged perpetrators of child sexual abuse identified by the Jehovah’s Witness organisation in Australia, not one was reported to police or other secular authority by the Jehovah’s Witness organisation (including by elders within the organisation).132 With reference to the files, no instance was identified by the Jehovah’s Witness organisation of an allegation having been reported by the organisation to the police or other authorities
Just unforgivable!!

Many of us have been exposed to graphic pictures/discriptions of Armageddon and the destruction of society since we were babies! It would only be natural to feel fear at times. Its good to let rational thinking win over though. Is it reasonable that a God of love would slaughter billions of men, women, children and babies? Simply for not converting to the WT organisation? No its not. In such circumstance God, Jesus and his sword bearing angels would make these terrorists of IS look like saints!
I recommend reading the Armageddon section on JWfacts to unravel yourself from this evil teaching. As long as you feel fear every time a bad thing happens in the world watchtower is happy.

Sub CO and Wife, both Reg Pioneers, go back to NC to live with his Parents
by James Jack inthis couple both in their mid 30's, lived with me for awhile and i gave them employment, because they are both regular pioneers and married right out of high school, also because i am that kind a of guy that likes to help people.
various friends have been helping them out for years, so i guess it was my turn to help them out.. the brother got stupid with me, so i told him i had enough of them both and that it was time for them to go elsewhere.. the co loved them so much, the pioneer elder was made cobe in another congregation and a sub co. the brother also got to conduct pioneer service school.
(so he is a hot shot now).
