  My Bethel Experience final chapter

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there were other people who either killed themselfs or tried to kill themselfs while they were at "the house of god.

  one person who did kill himself was richard wheelock, press room overseer ......he jumped out of a window at the watchtower farm one day.......it seemed, he was never quite the same after his wife "willy" died..she seemed to be the only one that he could relate to.......which would make sence.....because he sure couldn't relate to any of us in the press room..........he would come over to our press and say "here is the work... get in out".......then just walk away.......he was not the type of person you would really want to talk to anyway......but wouldn't it be nice if just now and then, like every year or two, they might ask you how you were doing?.........you laugh.......but its true......i asked a friend of mind who was the press operator of press # 6 which at the time was one of the three biggest presses at bethel.

  he had been in the press room for 4 full years.

  3 weeks into my Awakening...

  by Confession in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i came across something i'd written exactly 2 weeks and 5 days after i first became convinced (in a stupor) the the watchtower society wasn't the channel of god--and that they didn't have "the truth.

  when a person sins against god.

  the society is here teaching that confession of sins is something we do to jehovah.

  My cousin died of Lou Garrett Disease

  less then two years ago my cousin, who was then 39, was working on his parents home and found he was having a hard time hammering in nails.

  he would hit the nail, but as hard as he would try, he would end up making it crocked and he could not control it.

  he thought this was weird, and decided to visit a doctor.

  My condolences to you for your loss Freetobeme.

  I did know someone with Lou Gehrings. It was very hard to watch her deteriorate and die. Scary stuff

  SOOO let me think this through. There is going to be one mag/rag for the public and one mag/rag for the insiders.

  Seems to me the Kool-aid glass is going to get passed around a lot quicker. The leadership is slowly distancing the flock and isolating it and becoming more cultish at an alarming rate.The noose is tightening up. They are going to be beating their fellow brothers a lot harder.

  I can wait to see what the content of the insider mag/rags will be like

  Midget,

  I looke forward to the "day of revelations" for some of us, when we don't have to be underground.

  My hubby would like to leave with a bang, but we both have hard core JW parents and our leaving would kill them. So we stay for their sakes.

  But as time goes on and news like Stefano Giacobbe ha lasciato la verita, it becomes easier for us.

  All the best to you my friend

  Midget,

  Ambrogio is a unique man. I found him a little out of touch with things. Some of the stuff he told us at the pioneer meetings were really off the wall.

  Stefano was a little too stiff but always friendly. I can't say more without revealing myself.

  I bet you and I know each other, those italian circuits were not all that big.

  regards

  wannaaxit: No, I haven't DA'd. I'm trying to fade away as fast as possible... Please help me understand why one would want to DA? To me it seems you're playing the rules by the org's game then.. you end up losing your family.. so they still have indirect power over your life.. or am I wrong here? How about you?

  I don't know why some feel they need to DA themselves. My husband and I are planning a slow fade. I asked if you DA yourself because in my area, a young man (18-20) disassociated himself from the cong. Of course everyone knew this to be the case because the very next week the local needs part was about apostasy.

  All the best to you
