@sir82, "Keep calm and carry on till the Great Tribulation"
I promise you, as it is, that's an Instagram meme somewhere.

Living Vicariously Through the Sheep.
by donny inwhen i got baptized as a jehovah’s witness in the summer of 83, my honeymoon period lasted about two years before i began to wonder if the society and its adherents were all it claimed to be.
no of the things i encountered for the first few years was really faith shattering, they simply just made me pause and think.
after a short while, i would file those issues in the back of my brain files and move forward.. .

@scratchme, I agree. And it's incongruous with their deepities about God looking for the good and past our sins.
When this kind of information is recorded and stored anywhere, it is humiliating and it can absolutely be stolen, just as it was left available to Donny. So why do it?
Another reason to not discuss things with an elder without a lawyer present.

@scratchme, much as I'm sure it's a variation on a previous theme, this one's pretty direct, and short... And desperate... And pleading... And stupid.
They're coming off like a bad lover.

The definition of a false prophet
by HereIgo inthe last time i spoke to my mother, who is a devout jw, she threatened me with typical jw scare tactics telling me how oh so close the end is and how me and my 2 young daughters will be slaughtered by god himself in armageddon.
knowing that this is just a scare tactic, i respectfully listened, then replied that the jw's have wrongfully predicted the end of the world three times and were incorrect, 1914, 1925, 1975. i asked doesn't that make them false prophets?
her response; " no, because the brothers are imperfect and jehovah knew their heart was in a sincere place.

I get this kind of response too. Simple logic is outweighed by the paradise earth and resurrection and not wanting to admit they've been duped.

I feel really, really sorry for those born into the Jehovah's Witness religion
by jambon1 insome facts that make the difference between you and me:.
1 - as a person raised by non jw family, my parents have never loved me based on conditions set out by a group of old men who they don't even know.
how does it feel to know that you are in the unique situation where your parents brought you into the world and said 'i'll show love to you.

@Lee Elder, oh sure. I understand that, and I hope my post doesn't sound too strong. We do need validation and understanding and community.

Hi Donny. I lived in Sulphur Springs for a time as a teenager and my great grandmother served in Paris, TX.
I've also heard how detailed these reports and interrogations can get. Let me guess, they wanted to determine if there was "greed" or something.

Nailed it, sparrowdown.
I do not feel sorry for myself or any other born-in for that reason alone. No, part of life is making an informed change for the better, and it's manifest even in our storytelling. (Fish out of water? Hero's journey?) Don't give up, and don't ask for sympathy all the time.
I'm not saying never or that sympathy is always bad, but how much validation do you really need or expect? Pick yourself up, breathe in, breathe out, and carry on.
