  Awatcher:

  freedom of choice: I CHOOSE to serve Jehovah with Jehovah's Witnesses. That's my CHOICE.

  full of fear: of what? I don't fear anything except displeasing Jehovah.

  fear of displeasing men: I have a PERSONAL relationship with Jehovah that SUPERSEDES any relationship I have with humans, and if any humans don't like it they can blow it out their ear.

  never reaching the standard set: I set my own standards.

  ...wait for billions to die: we wish everyone would serve Jehovah and live, but most people don't want to serve Jehovah, and so He will take away the life that He gave them.

  Point 1, an oxymoron there. What makes you convinced that JWs are serving the Almighty named Jehovah. Additionally by doing so you have many choices in your life taken away from you, they want to control your emotions and behaviour.

  Point 2, how would you end up displeasing him? Who's rules and regulations are telling you what he requires. You know you can displease him by playing with a Sparlock toy, or not handing in a genuine report at the end of every month, or drinking the Kool-Aid.

  Point 3, ah now I get it, you are serving the god that enjoys cruelty to humans

  Point 4, no you do not wish everyone would serve him and live, that would be against the prophecies you believe in, JWs say there will be no mass conversion. What allegedly happened at the time of the flood, or at Sodom and Gomorrah?

  Going back to the OP, I see in a roundabout way it has helped me to reason things in a logical way

  Awatcher, what kind of life does it become? One with freedom of choice? Or one full of fear, fear of displeasing men, never reaching the standard set, and one where you can't wait for billions to die.

  Wow ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss. 'close friends' i had dropped me in an instant, their love is conditional. As to morality, there are plenty of moral people who have never read a bible, don't you think morality existed before it was even written?

  It's made me realise how people can be manipulated and I have more empathy as a result.

  Disfellowed on 7/16/14 for sending a letter to my former congregation

  by spbondgirl007 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been quite a while since i lasted posted anything on jwn.

  i was in hiding previously, but only because i wanted to avoid the shun gun until i had the opportunity to tell my former congregation what i think about the org./gb.

  i last attended a meeting over 2.5 years ago but it wasn't until june--when i earned my bachelor's degree--that i finally had the time to collect my thoughts and get them down on paper...i decided to write my letter in a style i felt would be most appealing to my target audience--jw's still under gb mind control --in the hope that at least a few would read it and actually "think".

  Hello

  i thought it was high time to introduce myself (without my name of course).

  as my name would suggest i have been reading your intriguing post, thoughts and discussions for some time now.

  around 3/4 months to be exact.. i guess to start with it would seem fitting to give a little background on my current situation.. i'm a born-in, but have over the last few years found that through a number of varying occurences, (some of which i may discuss in future posts) that my 'zeal' has gone from regular field service and meetings to no service in over a year and very sporadic meeting attendance.

  i've been browsing the site for some time as things that the society teach just are not adding up much these days.

  by exploring some of the threads on here i'm starting to see why.

  a brief bio.
