  i was trying to do a little catching-up on posts this afternoon and read the thread where leander discussed his resignation as a ms as he is ending his days as a dub.

  congratulations, leander!

  you made the right choice!

  Fred:

  You are so right. This is what has impressed me about my dream. It was so real. The last time I remember being so emotional about a dream I was being chased by a monster at age 10!

  Well, last night I had a JW dream. It went like this:

  I was inside my home when I hear the door bell ring. I open the door, and there was an older gentlemen offering WT literature. However, he was not holding the literature, but had the literature spread out on the ground, very neatly and in rows, as a display, on my porch ready for my viewing.

  The kindly older man waved his arms towards the literature like a car salesmen presenting a new car for me to inspect. In a soft spoken voice, he stated that he was a JW, and was offering the literature and I was free to pick one.

  I walked around the literature, and face to face, I asked him if he was an elder. His eyes lit up, and with a smile he said “yes, I am.” I told him I DA’ed myself about two years ago. He replied that he could help me, If I wanted. I felt the need at this point to relate to him all my concerns, issues and feelings related to my life as an ex JW. I then proceeded to tell him about Silent Lambs, the Franz books and even JW.com. It seemed that I was just talking and talking, on and on. All the time, this man just continued to listen with a slight reassuring grin on his face. When I finished, he said very softly and reassuringly, “I can help you, if you just give Jehovah a chance.” I lowered my head and started back to my door way, I mumbled “yea, right!.” as I turned around and looked up, he ascended up to the sky, yelling “I will come back to you with encouragement and light” then he was gone!

  I don’t usually remember my dreams. However, this was so vivid, so real. My emotions were going full blast. And to top it off, I have felt the need to relate this to you all. Am I going nuts?

  JEHOVAH JUDGES ABUSIVE ELDERS

  by You Know in

  repeatedly, the scriptures admonish jehovahs people to stay in wakeful anticipation of gods judgments.

  the not so obvious reason being that we don't know exactly how jehovah's judgments are going to go down.

  however, the ordering of events once the judgment commences should not be in question.

  my personal hell has started since i told my wife i was stepping down and why i was doing so.

  she has barely said 2 sentences to me in the last 24 hours, but i can understand her being upset so i'm trying my best to remain patient.. yesterday afternoon i told my cousin who is also one of my closest friends about my decision.

  we ended up talking about it for more than 4 hours.

  Objectivity and This Site

  by Eutapro in

  2. friends

  i must say that as a neutral scientific observer of this site--it seems that things are kind of one-sided here.

  i thought this was a board with both devout jws and ex-jws on it.

  on further reflection it appears that this medium of communication should probably be called ex-jw.com.

  You Know, from a biblical viewpoint, I agree with your observations. However, the JWs insist that they have been found clean and approved of God since 1919 (?), yet, they are doing the same things that they condemn Christendom for. Jesus stated that we will know his disciples by the fruit they bear. Why two standards for Christendom and the Jws when error is involved?

  here is an apologist view of why there is suffering.. answer c. just didn't cut it for me.. basically he is saying "everything god did turned out to sin"; eg.

  especially when that potential goes bad in every case"?.
