  So how did JF Rutherford function...?

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  every picture i have seen at him at beth shirim and other private places are with a bottle of alcohol.. while for me personally i couldn't care less anymore.... for jw's this is low moral character.

  so i'm an going to guess he was a functioning alcoholic... how did that work with his closest workers?

  was he gay too?

  If you`re having trouble sleeping, go to a JW meeting or assembly.
  

  Lol this reminds me of what a pioneer sister with whom I was traveling to the convention told a brother who said he was having trouble sleeping. She told him to record the brothers giving the assembly talks, and that would help him sleep. The death stares she received were unforgettable. I think she must have been secretly awake at the time.

  Oh yeah, especially at the assemblies. When I started going to foreign language assemblies, I'd just walk to my car when I got sleepy, pretend to tune into the program on the radio and snooze freely there.

  Jw mummies boys

  i've had the misfortune to encounter quite a few mummies boys in the cult.

  men aged 20-40 who although in men's bodies think,act and behave like children.

  their mother's had them tied to the apron strings tightly.

  I knew of an elder who was pushing 35 and was just moving out of his mother's house. He was taking the lead in our congregation, probably counseling other families on how they should live and didn't even know how to run a household himself. Somehow, he was able to find a sister to marry. I think he got engaged right before I faded.

  trying not to type swearwords as i write this so bare with me.. my little 3yo attends meetings with her jw mum (who doesn't believe watchtower anymore but is stuck in because she relies on her family for help).

  my mum (the one who tells people im dead) had a party for her grandchildren.

  that's my 4 nieces and 1 nephew aged from 3yo-11yo.

  My blood is boiling after reading this. I don't believe in disrespecting anyone's mother, so I won't talk about how evil one has be to shun her own preschool aged granddaughter just because her parent doesn't believe in a certain belief system anymore.

  This is why I didn't even bother informing my own mother about the birth of my daughter. She chose to shun me after I disassociated. I know my mother, and I knew for sure she would take that out on her innocent grandchild. So I chose to spare my child from that poisonous environment. I know some may not agree with my choice, but it's what I chose to do.

  I wish nothing but good vibes to you and your precious little girl.

  win my first post i introduced you to tweedle dee and tweedle dum, ( surprise elders visit ).

  well last sunday night i got phone call from t- dum, he informed me that t-dee was listening in, no doubt practicing his short hand.

  t-dum went on to say how he was concerned that we were making the biggest mistake of our lives, yada yada.

  Am I selfish?

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  tonight i had an argument with both my parents.

  my parents are aware of my feelings towards the organization, and it saddens them because i am their first born son.

  they had high expectations of me, my father dreamt of him and i serving together as elders.

  Sharing the sentiments with everyone else. You're not being selfish at all. But I can relate with the feelings of guilt. That can take awhile to get over, but being free is worth it.

  The REAL Reason I Stopped Going to Meetings

  by NoviceLocs14 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  to sum it up in all one word...pride.. i've always kind of attributed my subconscious "fade" to shame for living a double life by dating my non-jw boyfriend (now husband) while serving as a pioneer in the foreign language field.

  but i was actually pretty regular for awhile.. my pioneer hours did start to dwindle, however.

  i had always struggled with the hourly requirement, but i was really struggling now.

  @scratchme1010 yeah, there are times I do get mad as hell for how I was treated. I wish I could've had the strength to stand up for myself back then and tell them to buzz off. I'm slowly working on being more assertive, but I must admit it is taking awhile for that "JW meekness" to wear off.

  I wanted to be different, so I voted for Sam Heard. Tony the Turd gives us a lot of comedic material, so I like him for that. But between Heard's humdrum voice, his imagined "appeal" and his disrespect for women, he takes the cake for me.

  Lol now that was another story. After my "double life" unraveled, the elders went in full attack mode. Since they couldn't call me (because I changed my number), they bombarded me with messages in my emails and all my open social media accounts. Then they found out where I was working and called my new job several times a week. They refused my request to meet with elders in my area who I thought would be more objective to my situation. I ended up disassociating in the end (I wasn't too familiar with the process of fading until after the fact).
