Could it be that Jehovah is punishing me for leaving his religion?
by Julia Orwell ini know it's a completely absurd thing to say, but something happened to me today that triggered the old cult reaction.
my mind instantly lapsed back into that of a jw and for a split second i thought that because i wasn't doing jehovah things that jehovah's blessing had been removed from me and this is why my life seems to be running into so many dead-ends.
as a jw i attributed anything good happening to me to being the result of my being a good jw and dutifully doing everything the borg teaches.

STARTING OVER with my Elderette - What Does the Bible REALLY Teach?
by Faithful Witness inshe said, "so, what made you decide to study this book?

"...and some decide that such questions are best left to religious leaders and teachers.

This pastor has "witnessed" to JW. He writes his conversations out with a JW elder. Makes very good reading. He has opened my eyes up to many things!!!!!

Visited Baptist church on Easter
by snakeface ini live in a rural area; in field service we had to drive from house to house.. i have not had any desire to visit any church for several years now.

I went to a baptist church on Easter Sunday too!!! I enjoyed it. It reminded me of a Kingdom Hall but less formal. And I actually agreed with everything they said. Everyone was very friendly and came to say hello. when I gave her my background, the pastors wife told me that they view JWs as a cult. Was a shock to hear it in real life!! My kids loved Sunday school as well!

by DATA-DOG inlook...i am not an atheist.

Yes many times.
Sometimes I think that when we pray to God about something it makes it real to us and we believe He will sort it out but in believing that we make it happen for ourselves and then give God credit for making it happen. Our mind is a powerful thing.

exodus 7:1
by Truthexplorer inhi all, ive decided to come back to the forum.
am needing to let of some steam in regards to things in general as finding myself frustrated once again with wt rules policies etc which i will discuss in future threads.
i just wanted to ask your thoughts about ex 7:1 as it says that the lord made moses god to pharaoh.

Interesting... Since Pharoah was considered a God by his people perhaps Moses needed to be a God/like God in order to reach Pharoah With his message?
Moses was also in the transfiguration. I wonder if that's linked with his being a god as well?

Anyone have any 'Too close for comfort' moments with an elder ? (ladies)
by billie jean inhas anyone ever felt that an elder was perhaps 'coming on' to them ?
i remember three specific occasions where i was alone with these three elders in my congregation on seperate occasions and it just didnt feel right.
one where i was told i was "very attractive" and various other things he'd said made me nervous about my appearance, another where an elder took me to his car after a meeting in a dark car park and seemed to ask too many private questions and another time one of the elders who i thought always had his arms around young sisters too much took me to the 'back room' and sat far too close to me again references about my "attractive face" and other strange compliments.

I copped a feel by a couple of elders. One used to always touch my butt when I was a teen. And recently another elder, who he and his wife used to always help me put the kingdom first as a teen felt me up on two occasions- now I'm in my thirties!!! I told my parents. They thought it was funny.
