1 do you now reject all of the wts teachings and doctrines?
2 what doctrines do you still believe in?
3 what doctrines have you stopped believing in?
It has been a long process, but I currently believe only one thing that they taught me: When you die, there is nothing.. you are dead.
It has been said that to reject God is like throwing out the baby with the bath water. I disagree, I didn't "reject" anybody. I looked for the baby in the bath water and didn't find anyone. This was not some knee-jerk reaction to leaving the JW's. This was the result of a lot of meditation and study.
This was the personal conclusion that I came to.

i've been trashed and bullied by one poster for posting info off the internet that i was offering to someone in need of hope.
i began a thread on the subject of whether it is right or wrong to offer hope to someone in desperate circumstances in order that the poster could see that theirs wasn't the only opinion of any value.
while most who responded were in agreement with the validity of being encouraging and offering hopeful info that can be looked into or not, it's the viewer's choice, that poster has continued his bullying, stating that i'm mentally, literally incompetent, basically stupid and irresponsible, though i'm so incompetent that i shouldn't be actually held accountable for my well-meant ignorance.
Frannie.. you are one of my favorite posters... you actually have a sense of humor!! And can recognize a little sarcasm when it comes your way. I'd tell who ever it is to take a flying leap and then let Simon know what's been going on, no one has a right to verbally abuse you!
Some days you and Outlaw are all I need to get me going.. you both crack me up.

lawence sperry piloted and demonstrated the first auto-pilot controls for an aircraft in 1914, the same year that, according to the watchtower organization, god's kingdom took over automatic control of the heavens.. auto-pilot systems do not work well in turbulent conditions, and in our case, the spiritual auto-pilot that had kept us just gliding along without much thought from 1975 till the early 80's had to be cut off, and flight had to be controlled manually at about that time.
i was working for a group of witness 'brothers' then, striping cars and adding automotive aftermarket products for new car dealers.
the men i worked for were good people, but lousy businessmen.
Ah, yes.. there's nothing like a good back-stabbing to make you feel the love!
Well written, don't make us wait too long for the next installment :)

i first want to thank you all for your support over the past few days.

i did finally get a reply from my dad (after a week and a half) and i almost wish i hadn't.
Welcome Mellybean, it sounds like you have really had it rough. This board can help you cope, but it sounds like you need some professional help, too. If you have been having thoughts of suicide then you should be seeing a therapist. They can really help you sort out your feelings about your family and this messed up cult.
Spend some time reading peoples stories here, and you will see a lot of examples of harrassment and abuse, you aren't alone. Many here will have better insite on your situation than I do, and will have better advice for you.
I so sorry you are suffering, I hope we can help you find some peace.

hi all, i found this on the net, this is really sad.
i've finally decided that to get the real news about what goes on in the world you have to go outside of the information controlled us news networks.

i was raised a witness when i was a young child ,i have not been a believer for a long time and never thought i would be intrested again,i've meet a beautiful person that is a witness who is trying to get out of a abusive marriage the've been apart for more than a year and a half,he was a witness but is not any more he use's there children against her for a lot of different reson's he curently has more than one girl friend but continue's to abuse my friend mentally and more.
i've changed my life for the better in the last few years and am now considering becoming a witness again not only for me but for helping me keep my life on the right track,she has helped me realize alot of things in the last few months where i can improve my self,her oldest son resents me for being friends with his mother because i am not a curent member but this is because he is being couched by his father ,pretty sure it has nothing to do with me he dosn't really know me.with her son i'm pretty sure that no matter what i do his feeling will remain the same,does any one have any advise that might be able he help.my friend is at a breaking point with being pulled in so many directions i want to be able to help her but i dont know what to do.
Only thing you can do is be there for her, she has to make her own decisions. Running back to the JW's won't solve anything, it will only confuse things further. If you are a JW.. you are no longer a safe harbor, you are a "brother" It puts you into an entirely different catagory.
Be her friend and a shoulder to cry on.. nothing more. I married the shoulder that carried me out of my abusive relationship, so I should know.
You made positive changes in your life, you can maintain them.. you don't need a committee of elders to keep you in line.
