When You Were A Witness Did You Believe Everything Taught?

obviously at some point you stopped believing the witnesses had the truth or else you wouldn’t be here.

.

but for the most part, were you a true believer or were you typically a rebel or a doubter?

Yes I think I did , but when I had any doubts I would just do more study in JW stuff , and now realize i was being brainwashed into their mind control techniques which worked for decades in my case .

Does that mean that a legal precedent has been set for any future legal cases?

Can a person resign from being one of Jehovah's Witness?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

can a person resign from being one of jehovah’s witnesses?.

frequently asked questions.

a person can resign from our organization in two ways:.

Fadeaway1962

According to FAQ yes you can and JW will acknowledge your basic human rights to change or leave your religion without any consequences.

But the elders book says No you can't just leave resign ,your either disfellowshiped or dissociation which basically means the same you will be punished for resigning .

But to the public or a study it's looks like you can leave at any time but as we all know that the org talks out off both sides of its mouth,and has one side for the public and another for cult members.

It will be interesting to see how they word the apology to the victims and survivors.

Does that mean that ARC is no longer a apostate lie ?

When was your last Kingdom Hall meeting?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

i stopped going to kingdom hall meetings about nine years ago.

i was fading for the longest time, refused to go out in field service, dropped out of the ministry school talks, no longer answered at the watchtower study, arrived at the meetings the last second, and left as soon as possible.

i couldn't take attending the meetings any longer.

Fadeaway1962

Because of leaving a abusive marriage as the victim I was asked to go to the sister congregation sharing the same hall about two years ago and started fading straight away , because I walked away from the marriage I was veiwed as a bad association ,at the start someone did ask i just made a excuse and over time extended the length of time between meetings and nobody really bothered which made it easier to fadeaway.

2-3 weeks before the lockdown ,I was attending a meeting about every 6 weeks or so but I would arrive late and leave early ,I just couldn't listen to the crap anymore ,so never got any logins for zoom and I never told the elders my address or mobile number and those that had my number I blocked them I'm surprised I don't really miss anyone at the hall , still have contact with family members as they live some distance away but they must have an idea because they know ones in my former congregation's .

Never going back to the cult

Is there a renewed iemphasis on the "go bag" in the past mont or so?

by nonjwspouse in

my soon to be ex moved out over a year ago.

he left most of his things here ( i guess he thinks of my house as his personal storage unit).

one thing he left was his survival backpack, i assume his "go bag".

Fadeaway1962

The go bag a gone bag now 😁
