How do you feel about the JWS religion after being out more than 10, 20, 30 years ?

by Finkelstein in

myself being a born in and completely out for more than 30 years i see more of the damage of what this religious cult causes people .. part of myself leaving had to do with the psychological harm it was causing people back in the 1970's, one guy my age at the time hung himself out anxiety and depression.. the numerous suicides that have occurred in numbers is shocking to say the least.. then there is the many families breaking up.. marriages breaking apart because one member decides to leave the jws.. the deaths of members or their children from refusing a blood transfusion.. this hit me personally when my mother refused a bt when she was ill in the hospital and died.. over the years and observing all of these things reminds me how glad and fortunate i left when i did but i do find it responsible to others to expose this religious cult to what can happen to people who get involved with it and that's what i've been doing on this forum and elsewhere.

I’m glad I’m out (35) years, born in. Still angry about my ruined childhood, but SO glad I didn’t waste my adult life on this evil cult.

How Many Here Remember Hearing Details from the Platform on Why a Person was Reproved or DF'd ???

by RubaDub in

i just had this flashback when commenting on another thread about how they used to announce reproof or dfing from the platform.

at least in our congregation, it was a dramatic event (this is what i can remember from back in the mid-late 60's or early 70's when i was a kid).. at the end of the service meeting, just before singing the final song, the brother would announce, "we have a letter that must be read.

the "congregation servant" (my grandfather or later my father) would then slowly walk from the back of the kh to the platform.

Funny about the “sheep-shagging”, I read a funny comment on reddit about this. First, a local needs talk about bestiality. Then someone commented, “Anyone abusing a farm animal will be remooved form the congregation.” Lol

She said no, but the one who wrote the article is. I asked her if the Montana Supreme Court is apostate, she said no, but it’s still apostate lies. I asked if the Pennsylvania courts are apostate, she said no, but the information these courts are getting are apostate driven lies. She said there are so many “new ones coming in” and they are not “raised in the truth” and are the likely offenders. They are promptly disfellowshipped, she assured me. I asked her about calling police, she said the “brothers know what they are doing, and are keeping the organization clean.” Sigh
