  Your Jehovah’s Witness Is Showing

  by David_Jay in

  2. experiences

  since i just signed up and posted a few times without doing this yet, here is my story..

  i think that i became a jehovahs witness because of my immaturity.

  i had some quirky personality traits, and i joined finding that i fit in because, as i said to myself: these people get me.

  Randall’s mom, Eileen, spoke up. “You’re Jehovah’s Witness is showing,” she said.

  Social faux pas... it happens. Be grateful you were around people who loved you. :)

  Sincerely,

  A non-jw

  There is nothing more horrible than the murder of a beautiful theory by a brutal gang of facts.

  Holy cow.

  I mentioned that I had heard that this WT article further separated the JWs from others and got my head verbally ripped off.

  Was told that I was destroying the relationship and their walk with God. They had left the KH feeling good and now they don't feel good and that I was responsible for bringing them down. Was told that anyone else's walk was their problem.

  Wow.... the love of a JW towards his/her neighbor.

  This is awfully extreme and horrifically sad

  One article said there was going to be a funeral at a church for one of the deceased.

  Anyone know if there was a disfellowshipped person involved?

  Ok. Got it.

  As a non jw, I have a ton of leeway to say or ask whatever I want. I have to make sure I'm not too far off.

  Thanks

  Konceptual

  Is that as of the last few days?

  Maybe I'm misreading but the OP seems to suggest that the newest releases are in addition to the previously known layoffs.

  this story of a jehovah's witness who became catholic is at the top of the heap.

  i was angered at what happened when he opened up and poured out his heart to a "caring" brother.. cc.

  I had an opposite experience.

  Confirmed Episcopalian ...Attended a Catholic Church for a few months - not a member ...had a bad life experience (abusive marriage)

  Broke down crying in church

  Church housed my child and myself for some time and provided counseling

  The RCC does help those in need. I've seen it repeatedly.

  I attended a Catholic High School and University. Best education for the tuition and my parents paid twice as much as the Catholic kid's parents.

  Reasons for NOT Returning

  by Saved_JW in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i left the watchtower in the winter of 2008. my first year out was by far the most difficult.

  i had every intention of returning to the watchtower for the very purpose of being able to speak with my friends and family.

  i had already concluded that the teachings were not the "truth" [after reading crisis of conscience] so coming back was more emotional then anything.
