Elders Advice Backfired And Now Im The Happiest I've Ever Been
by pale.emperor in
1. jw
2. experiences
just wanted to update you guys of the amazing couple of weeks i've had in recovering from the cult.. i was attending the meetings still just so i could see my daughter in the kingdom hall and have her sit we me half the time.

i had no intention of ever becoming a jw again but was hoping to be re-instated and just not turn up ever again so i could at least see my family.

but then an elder said something to me that changed all that.

Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing your story. What some good, deep research (not the watchtower-way!) can do.

The borg is fighting tooth and nail to not turn over sex abuse records, and the press is taking note :)

I often wonder... What's the effect of the ARC hearings on JW's in Australia so far? Are their numbers already dropping because of the scandals' magnitude or do they still believe it's all apostate lies?

Poor meeting attendance has a direct corrilation with lack of shepherds shepherding the congregation.
roseinbloom, once I learned TTATT and resigned as elder, I was pleasantly shocked by the personal "confessions" of some rank-and-file JW's regarding their doubts and personal opinions regarding WT doctrine and policies (Long live freedom of thought and personal expression!).
I realised many sincere shepherds are pulling a dead horse so-to-say. I remember the mild frustration of the several group-overseers (including me) during our BOE meetings every time we noticed that younger brothers with potential didn't grow spiritually in spite of shepherding visits and working together in field service. There was always that one question... "What else can we do to encourage him... or is there some unknown problem maybe?" We would often guess proclaimers had busy full-time jobs that kept them from meeting attendance or too much family pressure but were not motivated enough to admit it or make changes.
Now I know of TTATT and the many lurkers, faders and those held hostage because of family. I pity the elders in this era of unfathomable "new light", the abuse scandals and Google Almighty and instant fact-checking.
The GB knows, they hope the rank-and-file don't know, and the poor elders are told again and again to pull on a dead horse. For many, a nervous breakdown seems to be inevitable on the long term. How many more elders will resign, building up even more pressure for those who stay in office?

"Jehovah's Witnesses, unless you wish to speak about the proceedings of the Australian Royal Commission then please don't knock"
Lol, that's a good one stuckinarut2!
Besides the abuse... Geoffrey Jackson's testimony before the arc was the definition of LIES!
Should scare every truth-loving householder out there

@ Anders
Last time I saw and spoke to him was at last years convention. It would make sense if he knew at least a bit of TTATT, but maybe he's just carrying it with him while still believing there's still some truth to the WT doctrines. In the meanwhile, he's clearly having fun and seems not to be suffering much from a tight, suppressing Borg-set of rules.
Are these pics from Facebook or what?

Keep the sabbath on saturday (as supposed to be) and you'll have a reason to never go out in field service on saturday anymore. Follow your bible-trained conscience!
