We had CO visit recently. Never had I felt so embarrassed for the CO. All the pathetic praises come out of his mouth in his talks were rather amusing. What a waste!

I actually loved field service
by gubberningbody inthat might seem odd, but it really suited my personality.
even before i became a jw i was annoying people with personal questions.
the thing is that it's sort of ok in normal land to do that as a cult member, but not as a "normal citizen".. .

gubberingbody and Nambo, I was just like you guys. I regular pioneered for 15 years and enjoyed every minutes. I virtually covered a half of the territories all by myself. It wasn't unusual for me to go out FS 7days a week. By the March of every service year I would have my entire required pioneer time in. I would even dreamed about engaging in FS while on vacation. I earned the nickname, 'Service Nazi'
I truely believed I was engaging in life saving work.
I wonder 3 of us got together to go out FS to warn people from falling into dangerous cult.(It will be fun)

How should I respond to a JW friend? (Australia)
by summerinvincible insorry if this isn't the right place to post this - brand new member here.. i recently caught up with an old friend who is a jw.
she's been witnessing to me, and i've accepted all her handouts because i don't want to hurt her feelings.
but now she's asking me for my "thoughts" about what i've read so far.

I'm not afraid of a Armageddeon ...
by Snoozy inwhen i have a nightmare it isn't about a armageddon..it's always an attack from aliens..what does that mean?

I believed in Armageddeon but couldn't see the best time for God to crack open heads of 99.99% population.
Now I am afraid that there maybe no Armageddon which means all those Pharisses will dodged the punishment for crimes they have committed against humanity. There will be no justice for their victims. I wish big 'A' comes tomorrow. I know I am 1000 times better in my shoes than theirs.

If you were a Witness, when did you realize the Governing Body was apostate?
by matt2414 infor more than 30 years i believed everything that came from the watchtower society, especially since i lived at bethel for a while and i knew a lot of the gb members, who to me seemed intelligent and personable.
at the beginning, the emphasis was on the bible, the kingdom, jehovah and jesus.
but gradually over time, there would appear an elephant in the room that no one seemed to talk about, such as the change in the understanding of "generation.

When the GB took side of child abuser elders and beat the crab out of the victims of abusive elders. I knew then it is not God's holy spirit but the spirit of lie that lead the GB. The WTS has been operated by con artists.

What a beautiful thread! I am so happy that you found your brother, Mr. Falcon.

What Percentage Of Family/Friends Do You Miss?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis ini have not experienced "shunning" yet, i have observed jehovah's witnesses shunning members who are not disfellowshiped, i think this has to do with selfishness inheritant in this religion.
christianity is a religion of giving, jesus wanted his members to share their goods with people who could not return the favor.
he promised his father in heaven would repay generous hearts who looked out for father-less boys and widows.. fine and dandy, but in the real world, quid-pro-qou matters, returning meal for meal, gift for gift and party for party does maintain your social status in the congregation.

It may sound harsh but the truth is that none of them(including your own family)are your friends in the first place.
They are, as well as you were, simply 'the cult members' before being friend, husband, wife, parents, son, daughter, uncle, grandparent,......
It doesn't matter why one get df'ed or not being one of them any more, the cult members will react the way how they were programed.
There's nothing exiting one from the cult can do about the system. It's truly ashame but it's what it is.
Fortunately, there are real people with normal human heart and mentality exist outside of the cult wall.
It's time to make real friend, not fake or conditional ones, who will love you and be there for you for being who you are not what you are.
I am sorry Bubblgum, 1914, and others who are facing this painful reality. You are about to find out the contract was conditional and you don't need fake ones. Let them be who they really are. Hope they will awake someday as we have.
Bottom line, I am grateful that I don't have to deal and wast remaining life with fake ones anymore.
I miss 0% of fake ones.
