me and my friends have already organized "association of former jehovahs witnesses.".
we want to stand for rights of ex-jw's, and those who are still suffer in organization and almost blind.. now we make some interviews on a television, take part in some lectures about how dangerous jw could be, keep in touch with "worldly" relatives, who want to save their family members.... in russia we still dont have a kind of psychological help, hotline or office.
we planning to establish this.

i was not home at all last week.
only my husband was here.
when we finally met up together this weekend, i turned on a burner on the stove.
drop it...Then set up a hidden nanny cam pointing at the stove and turn it on when you leave.
apologies if this has been discussed before, but i am really very interested in finding out why members here left their congregations for lives away from jw?.
was there a "lightbulb" moment where you just woke up one day and realised that you had been brainwashed?
or a slow realisation over time?
My username is short for TIRED OF THE HYPOCRISY.
Over time I got so fed up I couldn't go to service and tell people about the loving and kind brotherhood that did not exist so I stopped going to service. After awhile I got sick of hearing the same old tripe over and over again and no one living it. I saw hypocrisy and back biting and real sick minds at work so I got to a point where I could not even set foot in a kh. I try hard to not go off on my wife's family but there is one uncle who lives across the street that tasks me. The other dfay I not only called him Count DRUNKula to his face but also lit him up about the memorial being unnecessary since they say that Christ returned in 1914. I try to love everyone but this guy is a total jerk and so I avoid him when I can....
hi people.
i have never had any affection for my mother and this has evolved into full blown hatred.. .
have been to a counsellor for a number of reasons and she described my mother as a sadist.. .
I don't spend my time hating anyone. I only have time to love them. I recommend this because it works for me. I used to be very bitter towards certain family and extended family members. Let it go....It's for your own good. I know, words....But I think you would benefit from my view.
(genesis 6:1-4) 6 now it came about that when men started to grow in numbers on the surface of the ground and daughters were born to them, 2 then the sons of the [true] god began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose.
3 after that jehovah said: my spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh.
accordingly his days shall amount to a hundred and twenty years.
Maybe genetic tinkering was not outside the abilities of the deeemunz?
latley i have been telling some of my family members that i don't beleive anymore, i had my mom especially not really beleiving either...then today's special talk scared her into submission to the wt society.
i guess the brother started crying during the part when they were telling inactive people to come back to jehovah.
she now says she's going to be a regular auxillary pioneer and that she's not going to give up on serving jah now cause she's afraid she's going to die.
My family went through this for DECADES when I was growing up. My folks would get fed up...ESPECIALLY after 75, and quit attending and going to service. Months of normalcy would fill our lives then here comes March and the stupid elders would come by..."Err uh err hee hee memorial" and off we go the the rejection ceremony and we would then go BACK to the STUPID hall and STUPID service, then the dc, then my folks would get SICK of the bs and non biblical demands put upon the peons and we would be good again for a few months.
I am sorry that you too are having to endure all this. But know you are not alone in having dealt with it.
though were they looking at a time 2,000 years in the future or until 70 c.e.
how to be watchful in prayer.
the watch with him, jesus said: keep on.
Thank you Blondie!
the gb for sure likes telling husbands what they expect of them to do.. .
what is the sound and balanced(?
) advice coming from them?
Jeremiah was a BULLFROG!
jehovah's witnesses to sell buildings, move upstatenew york (wabc) -- in the next few years, brooklyn could see one of the largest turnovers in real estate, all thanks to one seller.
the jehovah's witnesses are planning to sell all 34 of its buildings as they move their operations upstate.. .
the scope of the church's holdings is massive, 3.2 million square feet, more than the empire state building.
I would like to know the REAL reason they are pulling up stakes.
because gorby has attended the memorial, he and his wife decide that one meeting a week was more then enough.. the rest of the family has attended the meeting this morning, including the special statement about the use of internet for marketing reasons instead of the magazines.. later on the day, we visited the family for a good cup of coffee.
nobody told us about the special statement!
and nobody asked us why we did not attend the special talk this day.. .
It's a good thing you get your information here then! AND you got it well in advance! LOL
