My Reverse-Shunning Letter To My Mother

by pale.emperor in

i mailed the below letter to my mother a few weeks ago.

i did share it on the ex-jw facebook group but thought i'd post it here.. basically, she's shunned me since day 1, has little or nothing to do with my 3yo daughter and told my sister "i hope <my daughter> becomes a jw when she's older so i can welcome her into the family".

well, that was the last straw for me..

It just breaks my heart that a religion can have rules and regulations that are truly family destroying, to hear you say goodbye to your mother is killing my emotions toward this evil religion. No human is meant to ever write such letters, O'Pale I hope this hastens your healing process and you can come to terms with being an orphan. We all on here my friend are blessed to ride this journey with you and we WILL help enrich your life. I find it so difficult to comprehend a parent shunning a child, again hang in there, also I know what you did put your mother on notice and as a son you couldn't of done anything else.

The Biblical reasoning behind a judicial comitee?

by CitizenofEarth in

i was wondering today what i would say if i ever were to be called to a judicial trial in the congregation, and my conclusion was that i didn't really have any biblical defense against it.

so i was wondering what you guys would recommend.

it seems far fetched to me that the bible condones a 1 vs 3 biased trial (where you already have been judged beforehand), instead of one where you have a unbiased judge, a defense and a prosecutor/accuser.

Ask a Jw elder has he ever heard of a judicial committee that has forgiven someone on seven different occasions, if not ask him how do they follow Jesus's example of forgiving 77 times. Then ask how come the prodigal son didn't go through the reinstatement process.

After being in the so-called "Truth" makes me despise all religions.

by Fader812 in

after being a jw made me lose trust in religion, from the lies, hypocrisy and greed of this organization made me lose faith completely.

what does one do after this mind f$%@, what is there to look forward to?

do i make up my own agnostic theory in head and hope for the best?

Chook

No other religion can take the crown from JWs as the king of God destroying doctrine. Imagine a young girl child abuse victim and her trying to trust other men, its the same as xjws trusting other religions.

Why Do People Become JWs?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was born in the religion but why on earth do people join this religion?

?.

Chook

I think it's to do with JWs having the answer for EVERYTHING ! Its the emotional healing that people perceive when joining, it's the opposite of leaving when you realise it's emotional death that has been spoon fed , JWs loose any love for their fellow man because of the whole he is a worldly person.

These guys still have no shame , and to say the clergyman are going to Gehenna, that because they are preparing for Big Tony with brimstone and coals.

My Introduction

by Ray Frankz in

this is my first post and i'm feeling like i'm doing something bad big time!

i know on my mind it isn't, but the feelings are less manageable.. well, since i'm still a jw it's better not to give too much info, but i'm from brazil.. i've grown-up in the religion and practicly all my family, my closest friends and my girlfriend are loyal jws.

i used to be a regular pioneer but i still have a service privilege on my congregation.. i've had questions about the teachings of the wt since i was 10, but naturally i always pushed it away as it were "questioning the holy organization".. i started a friendship with some people in a course i took and we talked about a lot of subjects.

Welcome Ray F, you can ask the questions here that the cong forbids. Also your friends on here don't share their loyalty with a realestate company based in Warwick.

Study with an Elder - propose a question.

by CitizenofEarth in

hello there.. as some of you might remember i am keeping my facade up by "studying" with an elder.

this study however is more of a session where i put hard questions about the org, doctrine and so on, on the table.

the time has come for the next session in a couple of days, and i have quite frankly lost the will to keep digging up things that just shouldn't be happening.

Ask him how he can be certain that Holy Spirit directs their teaching, then ask when they change doctrine does that mean no Holy Spirit was involved in original teaching.

Cross-dressing Jehovah's Witness raped and molested girl

by cobweb in

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/cross-dressing-jehovahs-witness-raped-13311020.

a cross-dressing jehovah’s witness raped and molested a girl while making her wear adult women’s clothes.. david fuge, 69, wore dresses and silky underwear when he repeatedly abused his blindfolded victim from the age of eight to 19.. .

liverpool crown court heard he gagged her and on one occasion tied a belt around her neck and left her hanging from a hook in a room.. he photographed the child naked, made her read pornographic magazines, beat her with a piece of wood and abused her at a golf course.. .

Chook

Quite an upstanding chap , he still qualifies as a publisher. I bet there is more than one victim, honing his art for 69 years. Vile creature is lucky he didn't do it to my grandchild.
