DIM - 8 months out
by DIM inwell, its not like i post here too often, but i still occasionally browse through the various topics and catch up on what has been going on in the xjw world....after 8 months of not attending meetings i can honestly say i am much happier.
my perceptions and views of "apostates" and people who abhor the watchtower society has gradually changed too....at first i was all for all of the movements and stuff like that.
but now it seems almost its own cult to me, with all of its own catch phrases and "elite members".

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Let me ask you this....can a jw in good standing attend this? Or would he be counseled for being at an interfaith service?

no, indeed, i tell you, but rather division" --luke 12:51. pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock.

Kenn, okay, that's nice, the wives could go along. I still think Elsie has a point, I really like the one on top of his head.
Kennsington said: Nor do I presume to be more knowledgeable than God so that I can correct him. After all, it is the Potter who molds the clay, not the other way around.
Yeah, well, I'm not correcting him either (like I could-hah), I'm just thinking that this way seems a bit unloving, cruel, mean and sad. Maybe he should have left 'love' and 'justice' outta my brain when I was conceived, then I wouldn't be thinking this way.

Social retards
by Simon ini've been thinking a lot recently about the interaction between people in the exjw community and it seem to me that the "jw experience" (sounds like a theme park ride doesn't it?
) polarises behavior somewhat between two extremes:.
we know in the jw scheme of things that friendships are very 'superficial'.

Yet another prime example of how the Bible contradicts itself and confuses the hell out of me.
Edited to add: Kenn, Jesus did actively cause divisions. He took men away from their families when he chose his apostles. Even if the families all became Christian, they were unable to have normal lives with their husbands and fathers once Jesus got hold of these men. Yes, no pain, no gain...really sad that the Creator of all things decided to do things this way.
The society teaches that Universal Sovereignty is the reason. Why does the Most High God have to be on an ego trip? Why couldn't he have just taken care of things in Eden by getting rid of the trouble-makers back then? All this crap that we have to live with, all the suffering and fear and hatred, just because God wants us to know that he is the best ruler? I just don't buy it anymore. I don't find it particularly loving. I don't find Jesus causing divisions in families very nice, either.

One minute people find they are classed as a friend ... the next, they are not - people are used and discarded as it suits and affection turned on and off at will.
I'm glad I'm not alone in the used and discarded department.
I wasn't raised a jw, but I think I've always been socially stunted. All I can do is try to be a better person and a better friend.

What sold you on the JW faith?
by MYOHNSEPH ini havent posted much here, but ive read a lot for about six months now.
although most everyone here appears to have had some degree of affiliation with the jw organization, the individual posters seem to be from pretty diverse backgrounds.
im really curious about something.
