I was looked down upon by a pioneer / elder's wife who was a friend of the family for pursuing a career instead of pioneering. I did pioneer for a short time but found the whole experience to be a waste of time. I started to question as to why we have to work for our salvation when Jesus Death was a gift to all mankind? As you can see where that all went.

Pioneers, Elder's Wives most self righteous. Etc.
by Overrated inas a jw did you have a pioneer sister/elder's wife who was the biggest busybody, self righteous, arrogant pus in the circuit?
who would look down on others and treat people like crap.. without giving to much away, i experienced one that knew everyone in circuit.
and if she or her husband saw or heard something they didn't like it was " you know what the bible says" regardless if it was in there or not.

Vienne- Good for you. And your mom for putting elders in their place. Goes with my family motto " We take no sh!t from no suckers!" Elders are puppet suckers.

I had to deal with seems alot of elders wifes/ pioneers that their place in the cong went to their heads and made them very ugly to deal with. Some where down to earth, but those where few.

What “Secret Sins” Do You Think Many JWs Are “Guilty “ Of?
by minimus ini know a lot of witnesses that drink a lot!
secret sins people would confess to the elders were masturbation, dating and touching certain areas and anger issues.
some fathers/husbands looked like model figures until you heard from the family that the dictator ms were horrible at home in more ways than one..

I know all the "sins" I'm guilty of. But like the Governing Body, I'm imperfect. An had bad examples, the Governing Body/elders. Lol all minor sins compared to them.

Over time of waking up, I use to think "was it me that was the problem?" After much thought and experiences of this group of people. I have found that it creates a whole new type of crazy and it gets worst the more you're into it.

The Flood of Noah's day just is hard to explain and does not make much sense scientifically. And don't get started on God, to me it's right up there with the tooth fairy.

As a young man I was in the Ministry School for awhile. But quit after some of the elder's sons getting or handing off their parts on me. Just did not see the point of the school if all we where doing was slinging Watchtowers and Awakes.

Freedom to do what you want without Watchtower and their say on life. After all what do they know?

Do exJws Easily Accept What They Are Told?
by minimus inwe were told that we needed to accept whatever we were directed to by the governing body and elders.
eventually we rebelled and left the organization.
do you think former jehovah’s witnesses seem to question authority more than others?

After being in the trooth and learning the truth about the "truth " you develop a bull shit meter and when a Jw or any other cult comes along that bullshit meter goes off. And you start to see bullshit in your life and call it.
