can anyone out there ease my mind?
i am about to disassociate myself and feel so scared.
what if i'm making the wrong decision?
Aud8,
I am in the same predicament as yourself. There times when I feel that I want to disassociate myself, but then I remember that I have many family and friends who are jws. So why don't u just try to fade away so that you will be able to talk to your friends? That's what I am strving to do. I have done it for almost 2 years.
Whichever course u choose to take, there are many people on here that will not abandon u.
i grew up with parents who hated jw's.
my grandmother was a secret.
witness,no one ever knew.
Waiting,
I am not trying to give her hard time. Nor am I claiming she hasn't found something astounding in her medical research (I am not in the medical field). But when someone posts on board they should expect to be challenged on the content of their writing. In this case 2+2 doesn't equal 5 (I am a CPA..used my calculator); only in a Borg world. That's all I am saying.
for me i think it was the sunday meeting.. just wanting to stay home and sleep in.. but i think the watchtower study was the hardest to sit threw... you had to have it studied before hand.. and highlighted.. then sit there and listen to it all over again..
I liked all of them except the Public talk, WT Study, Service Mtng, Ministry School, and Book stuy. Other than these I loved them all.
Ps...I forgot I also didn't fancy circuit assembly..oh..and district convention.
Ps...One more, all the "special" talks...where u say to everyone u meet "that was such a good talk..the best"

Post your story in the main discussion board and I guarantee you it will be torn apart for what it is - a story.

You need serious help or you could be a write. I have no time to play your game. Too many holes in your story. Enjoy the rest of your mystery.

<<I found out the brothers at my local KH have access to my private phone calls, and are involved in the fraud
ulent taking of my husband in a guardianship. We are being divorced
against our will, and everything we have is being taken.
These people are causing the death of my husband from medical neglect. My house has been broken into, I have been repeatedly threatened. I am listed in the courthouse as attempting to murder
two people. >>
How come you didn't turn the findings (access to your private phone call) to police and better yet hire a lawyer?
You say fraud....turn that evidence to police and better yet hire a lawyer.
<repeatedly threatened> By what means?
<Attempting to murder 2 people> Did you? If not how did they come to that conclusion?
<death of my husband from medical neglect> Who is doing this? The JWs? If so call the police/social workers and better yet hire a lawyer.
So to your question "would u beleive me if I told you?" - NO .NEED MORE PROOF.
this is a question my df mother would like me to post for her:.
would it be morally right to go back to the jws, even though she doesn't feel it is god's org?
she would do this in order to speak with her life long friends and her youngest daughter, all of whom are quite emotionally distraught due to her dfing.
I am in a similar situation. All members of my family fleshly and by marriage are JW. I don’t believe in it anymore, but no one knows. To me this is a war. As such I take whatever steps I need to save my family - Survival. I think I can help them more by being inside rather than outside. Some people call this not being true to oneself. My mind it already free. It is the physical body that is in hostage. I had many occasion to be physically free. But I chose to stay a little bit longer to help free the others. At the end of the day, your mom has to make a decision based on her situation. There is no solution that fits all. Whichever road she plans to take, wish you well.
lets dance, we have added "wt letters" section to the website.
it will offer a new letter each week added to a list with an introduction.
read the introduction, click to view the letter and see if it answers the questions.
I am not, have never been, and have no intention of ever being a member of the WT legal staff.
Good answer...but are u a JW, convenient newbie?
