Extreme emotions re today's watchtower

by Tornintwo in

i was supposed to attend the meeting today, one of my once a month duties for the sake of my family and my fade.

i read the wt and i just can't stomach going.... what this wt does is again and again reiterate that only jws will survive the coming destruction and that they should be happy about this and raise ourselves erect...eg:.

we cannot expect that many people will suddenly convert to true christianity.

I have a relative who unfortunately has delusional disorder. Thinks she is a special 'chosen one' and thinks various countries are out to get her and her son. It's ruining her life and her marriage. She can't function. The JW leadership has a delusional disorder as well, but on a grand and dangerous scale. They are controlling 8 million people, often ruining marriages and families, destroying the potential of millions of children, closing doors of opportunity, throwing water on sparks of natural talent every day.

steve2 I thought the same thing. 'Soon we may start proclaiming it is the end!' What the heck have they been doing this whole time, selling daisies?

I never realized how boring I was.

by John Aquila in

as a true believer in the watchtower, i never knew how truly boring i was until being out for a couple of years and then sitting down with a group of jws and having a conversation..

thats what happened this morning.

i decided to go have breakfast at mcdonalds and a group of jws who were out in service and know me also stopped for breakfast and sat down with me and we talked for about an hour.

John I just want to give you a good strong hug. You didn't deserve that. What a self righteous wretched bitch.

well it seems for many on this board the time came to leave the w.t and cross the bridge in to a real world.

speaking for myself l feel i did not enter the cold and lonely world i was lead to believe i was entering.

rather i have discovered it was no great loss leaving a world that had protected me with false, dreams, fantazy and false promises.. but what have i really achieved by my leaving that i value?.

I've decided to make a difference that REALLY matters

by Mrs. Eden in

hello friends!today is a sad day for me, as seven months have gone by since my mother passed away after a decades-long fight with breast cancer..

because the witnessing/preaching/teaching work doesn't make any sense to me anymore; because it's not about any "truth"; and because it's basically useless, i've decided to quit doing it.

instead, i've decided to do something that actually can make a real difference in other people's lives.

FayeDunaway

Good for you mrs. E!! You will find volunteer work MUCH more rewarding.

(Vinman that was beautiful)

there are so many many good things about being out. especially that my children can choose their own lives and the pressure is off for me to try to direct them on to one very unnatural way for them to go, I can love and accept them no matter what they choose. There are so many good healthy options for them, and so far they are all choosing well.

but also I want to say leaving the WT has let me be a true citizen. I walk among my neighbors as one of them, not above them, not going to see their destruction and see them eaten by birds. They are good people with their own struggles just as I have my own struggles. I have a voice in my society, I do what I can to try to improve it. I celebrate amongst them, I go to local festivals. i love the feeling of community I have now. it's not us vs. them, it's just the larger 'us.'

The new 'classes' jehovahs-witness.net has created. Which one are you?

by Esse quam videri in

over time a number of different 'classes' of members have arisen on this forum.

1] apple watch watchers - this group takes a great interest in watches worn by members of the governing body.

2] cult escape consultants - one who freely offers advise on how to flee from a cult - mainly the wt society.

I'm waiting for someone to post the fundamentalist theist class. Drop by with inflammatory posts as if to purposely rile the atheists. Atheists respond accordingly.

WHEW I thought you were identifying yourself by that post :).

Yep, I went through the 'but what if' phase for a while, but after I found out about the pyramid steps leading to his 1914 thing, I mean that's just crazy. It's like the script of a bad movie, except it was our reality! We didn't know it came from such a crazy source, we just felt its craziness :(.

JV, when you research Russell and the things he made up based on his obsession with Pyramidology, but which they still teach today, HOW CAN THAT POSSIBLY BE RIGHT.
