  Officially Disassociated Tonight

  by Princess in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  steve and i attended our very last meeting this evening.

  i wrote a thread a few weeks ago about our elder visit and their decision to announce that we were disassociated.

  they agreed to wait until we returned from our vacation so i could tell my grandma who still attends via phone link and so she wouldn't have to be alone in her devastation.

  when I was about 16-17 and went to bed at night I felt my bed rumbling and a choking sensation on my chest and neck. of course I attributed all that to demons, so I went thru all my rock albums and tapes threw out just about everything. turns out I was really experiencing night terrors, where my brain was semi-awake but my body wasn't. Once I left the WTS I never experienced that again. and once I stopped believing in ghosts I stopped being visited by one.

  Too close to home

  when you were going from door to door, did you hate knocking at doors in your neighbourhood?

  i wonder if the elders did on purpose to distribute territories so that you would have to be working in your neighbourhood.. often i noticed that elders gave me a territory in my neighbourhood, just to see if i would be ill at ease.

  maybe they wanted to know if i had worldly friends in my neighbourhood.

  But one day, this neighbor got sick and quickly got into his car to rush to the hospital. He drove so quickly, he found himself in the ditch. A number of people, including the brother came to his aid and got him out. He went to the hospital but he kept getting sicker. Eventually, you'll never guess what happened. He died. Then the D.O. concluded with the thought that we should always rely upon Jehovah because He will take care of things in his due time.............Any comments?

  So Jehovah killed this guy cause he interrupted the stupid study group and dug a ditch around the house?? The God of love and mercy?

  What was your deadline?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you joined the jw's, what year did you set in your mind as the latest date for the new system?

  we were all told that the end was very close, but how close did you think it was, when you joined?

  if you would have known that the end was atleast 30 or 50 years away, would you have pioneered as much, or would you have given as much time to them, or would you have kept much more time for yourself?

  an elder once told me that the end would come in 2002, so I set my "spiritual deadlines" for that date--I tried pioneering and wanted to go to bethel. then in 1996 I just grew bored of it all. I left for good in 1998. and 2002 is done and over with, so I have to wonder what that dumb elder is thinking of next.
