DAMAGE CONTROL BEGINS!!!!

by msconcerned in

just when you think you can trust people, even family you cant!!

i have put out some feelers to gauge reaction and thoughts.

even though many feel the morale is bad they will turn on you in a heartbeat.

Just when you think you can trust people, even family YOU CANT!! I have put out some feelers to gauge reaction and thoughts. Even though many feel the morale is bad they will turn on you in a heartbeat. Someone close to me just told my wife that i was leaving the truth. I had to shut it down, i said that i am officially done with questions and im back on track.

God they have no capacity for reason. A statement to all who THINK that it is safe to confide in anyone who is a witness STOP, THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED. I know this has been stated before and yeah i thought i was different, i thought i could get through to others but i was sadly mistaken. Please heed this advice. ARRRGGGHH i am sooo STUPID. Looks like this is my ONLY outlet i have to talk. Who else has been let down like this?

I want to Believe in Something

by James Jackson in

after serving in an appointed position for over 26 years (21 elder, 5 ms,14 pioneer), i have no more dreams of paradise, bored at the meetings, do not enjoy the field ministry.

the desire to do anything is gone.

i want to believe in something!.

I feel you JJ, with the amount of years put in only to find things are not what they seemed is VERY hard to take.

Listening to Maggie's farm by RATM, made me think of the similarites to the Watchtower. I changed up the lyrics. Listen to the song and substitute the words.

"Watchtower Farm"

By: Rage against the Watchtower machine

I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more.
No, I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more
Well, I wake up in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for Splain.
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin' me insane
It's a shame
the way they make me
scrub Bethel floor
I ain't gonna work on, nah
I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more.
I ain't gonna work for brother Losch no more
nah, I ain't gonna work for brother Losch no more
Well, he hands you a privilege
And he gives you a line
And he asks you with a grin
If you're havin' a good time
Then fines you every time your late through the door
I ain't gonna work for, nah
I ain't gonna work for brother Losch no more

I ain't gonna work for Brother Lett no more
No, I ain't gonna work for Brother Lett no more
Well, he puts his visions
In your face just for kicks
His “new understanding”
Is making us so sick
The Faithful Slave, is always keeping score
I ain't gonna work for, nah
I ain't gonna work for our “Mother” no more
I ain't gonna work for our “Mother” no more
No, I ain't gonna work for our “Mother” no more
Well, she talks to all the “friends”
About the slave and God and law
And everybody says
Shes the brains behind God
Bible says all, but she says hundred fourty-four
I ain't gonna work for, nah
I ain't gonna work for our “Mother” no more

I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more
No, I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more
My Savior Jesus Christ said
To be just like I am
But the Faithful Slave commands me
To be just like them
Keeping up to date, makes my head sore
I ain't gonna work on, nah
I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more

For anybody who is going to dissassociate.......

by EndofMysteries in

i haven't officially because of family.

but i see many times on this board those who do it it and write a letter to send a message.

(hoping it gets the elders reading it to think).

msconcerned

What i have started doing is giving ALL credit and thanks to Jesus in talking with people, after all he is the head of the congregation. I have seriously had people say, without batting an eye (as if they did not hear me) "the FDS gives us what we need when we need it".

I gave a part on the service meeting a few months ago stating many times how thankful we are that Jesus is directing his congregation. The COBE came up for the next part and actually thanked me for the kind words about Jesus. I felt good.

I sent my DA letter in yesterday.

by quellycatface in

feel like i've been in a car accident and i'm on the road to recovery....i wonder what will happen next??

my husband, (non jw) says he would'nt be surprised if they df'd me as one or two elders are quite spiteful.

can they can't fire me cos i quit, surely??.

msconcerned

To be sure, because you sent in a DA letter, they will announce that you are no longer one of Jehovah's witnesses.

The murmuring phase is the beginning of an ex-JWs progression towards fading.

i suppose part of the fascination i have with this board is, the exotic nature of those making up the member population.

i say exotic because, as you yourselves will agree with, folks such as yourselves don't hang around the christian congregation for long upon making the decision that truth is not for you.

(rom 1:25) this "fading" thing spoken of here likely plays a role into why christians such as me find the average ex-jw to be a bit fascinating.

msconcerned

Hmmm, what makes someone question in the first place? A year ago i would never entertain a questioning attitude, so what makes people do this?

"Jehovah's Witnesses would never parade their children on display for commercial interests vested in greed"

Taking our kids in the ministry, same thing. See funny!

SFPW - Let's be honest, we expect them to listen to us. When we go in the ministry we think that everyone should listen to us, i know i did. I am not against preaching about the Bible, but my game plan has changed and i feel that it has to be a choice for people, not an expectation. i too disagree with the halloween celebration, but come on that pic is funny! Laugh it's good for you!

Holy spirit handouts, and the magical prayers only the Witnesses get answered.

by msconcerned in

jehovah, please allow our house to sell so we can go preach in another country where the need is great.. jehovah please help me get that job where i dont have to work shiftwork anymore and i can make all the meetings.. jehovah we need $200 so we can go to the convention, please look after us.. ah yes, the prayers of the faithful one.

how we look at these and feel our hearts swell with love for our god.

many of us at one time or another have asked for things such as these.

msconcerned

prologos - One smart - alec reply to questions about the many unanswered prayers of suffering individuals I heard was: well, if Jehovah answered all these prayers and identified himself as the benefactor, everyone would stream into the TRUTH, and the society could not handle the studies, training, expansion needed that this would impose on us. God wants--- God does not want----.

LOL, Are you serious? That has to be the most absurd thing ive heard. When you really step back from the JW mindset and look at things....wow nutjobs we are!
