Question for all Jw.com
by haujobbz ini dont know if you been asked this before but what made you give up your religious beliefs,i assume that not all on here were jehovahs witnesses so if you were not please say.well i will telll you why i left, i got baptised as a jw 2 yrs ago and then started to notice say 6 months after baptism that the followers didnt really heed the what they were being taught it didnt seem to motivate them in their hearts, to say display genuine love it was more like a routine to them to be at meetings,talk to same ones,read watchtowers,it seemed so mechanical like robots,im not saying this is what caused me leave because i was serving genuinely i was really interested in practising what i preached,but i found it hard because everyone wasnt trying to do the samething.so then gradually i started to question things and then i got the internet last year and was itching to look on these so called apostate sites,you see i wanted to prove these sites wrong but in the end i was proved wrong with things like prophecies,jws past history,etc.
so thats my story

It was the hypocrisy, double standards and failed prophecies that did it for me. Yes and I agree with you Spice, I never liked the way women were treated as second class citizens either.

The borg is pushing your guilt buttons here. They know how to get to you psychologically. I had a witness try the guilt trip on me the other day. Saying to me that I should go back to the meetings and that would make my family happy etc. I just said that I am happy and love myself first and that I would not go to the meetings to make someone else happy. I have to do it for myself. At which point she said I was a selfish person and hung up on me.

I absolutely loved the show when I was a kidlet, but it just didn't seem as funny now.
Taste were different than and it was made for a younger audiance. Its like now a show that would attract a 13 year old would not attract a 30 year old person.

Now, as for interacting, where are the instructions?
You are right. We have to learn those things now, which we should have being taught when we were teenagers. My older sister is a prime example of what a sheltered life can do. She is not able to look after herself and she is 50 and my parents can't understand why. Well she had an over protected childhood and a contolling husband for 30 years and it was all do to the religion.

Male tech nerd here to. Although I blame that on the way I was brought up by the WT. They never aloud us as children to grow and learn how to socalize with others our own age. Everything was no. You could not do anything as it may take away valuble time that you could be doing important studing. Why would you want to socialize with "worldings" anyway as these ones were shortly going to be distroyed at Armonmygedding....

The WT Don Adams and the actor Don Adams would be about the same age. They maybe the same person after all. Have you every seen them together in the same place at the same time??? Makes one think huh...

When I heard Don Adams I thought of the fellow that stared on the old Get Smart television show.
