  Volunteering at a house of evil

  by tergiversator in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i did something new today.

  my college arranged for several different volunteer projects in the area that you could sign up for, from trail clean-up to working at a homeless shelter to visiting elderly people.

  through the vagaries of fate, i ended up on one that visited a small clothing and food pantry operated by the area churches' ecumenical council.. so there i was, sorting packages of donated socks by children's sizes, not ten feet from where there were *religious* pamphlets (one of them mentioned god once, i think) in a small, discreet display, on such false religious topics such as how to deal with the violent death of a loved one.

  I hate to admit it,,more embarrased than anything,,but when i left the org,,my ex , still a bro, was making over $100 K a year,,,and i had to go to food banks,,,i will not go into it now,,,just all i could put on a resume was that i knew how to go door to door and keep an mean house:) i am so very thankful the food banks were there,,,i lost a lot of weight walking looking for a job, needless to say, things are on track now,,,but i am very thankful for the churches that helped me,,,btw
  the jw would not help in the community i moved into, and they did not know i was df

  JW evaluations?

  by heff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am new to this site.

  i just want to say that its great, always nice to know that you're not alone in the fight.

  i wish all current jws could be forced to sit and read through all these posts just once.....but thats dreaming, i guess.. it seems that from the psychological aspect the experience can be horrible.

  What did you do?

  to all those who have in some way left the organization (be it disfellowshipping, disassociating, dis-whatever):.

  come now, i know the amount of people who "realized that wt doctrine was in serious error" and politely handed in their letter of resignation has to be very small.

  the level of bitterness and hostility towards the closest-to-what's-biblical organization has to develop some other way.. what did you do?
