i am 39 years old.
i converted to the jws when i was in middle school due to a witness in school and my family having issues at that time.
i found instant friends and family at the kh.

i have some potentially controversial questions.. i have always wondered about these things in the back of my mind, but i would immediately dismiss them.
now i am giving myself permission to explore them further.... a lot of attention is given to how big the sacrifice was on the part of jesus and god when jesus laid down his life.
as the story goes, jesus gave his life for our sins and then was miraculously raised back to life a couple of days later.. consider this.
This doubt that you expressed is one that I've said/ thought from day one. I understand that no father wants to see their child suffer. But, it is as you said, why should I make a big deal out of Jesus' death and suffering if it was FORETOLD. Everyonewas in eexpectation. His sacrifice was minimal in that HE DID REGAIN HIS LIFE.
In summary, I hear you.
hey guys !
i've stopped believing the watchtower crap a few years ago.
i achieved this on my own, despite being raised as one.
Welcome! CCongratulations on your college education! Keep it up!

This elder made it clear to me that he would not have ANY contact with me, even if I reached out for spiritual support and guidance. He said I had let myaelf lie with the demons and that I am no longer his responsibility as part of the other sheep he is to tend to. I was shocked since I was told by another elder that if I ever needed his support I could contact him.
So steve2 the response fitsperfectly what he said to me as I started my journey fading to black from the cult.

Justr ealizing now that the CO visit should be coming up. Perhaps that's why there was a weak attempt to reach out to me.

I thought about getting personal, talking about TTATT. The reality is that using his own standards against him was all that needed to be done.

"Simon,
Please remove me from your email contact list. Just as you want nothing to do with me, I no longer want anything to do with you.

i conducted the wt study tonight on higher education.
i wondered what the reaction of the bros and sis would be.
there was no deviation from the idea that a university education is not a good idea.
Like the reality of being able to pay your bills, take care of your family, and think for yourself. Riiiiiiight ... having an education really does leave you down in the dumps-- NOT!
this was me driving into the parking lot and into the kingdom hall:.
every week the same brothers and sisters are late getting to the meeting.
elders are talking with other elders ( who always have notes and folders in their hands).
I missed the last sentence NVR2L8. In situations like that, it's definitely preferable to remain single.
