  i want to impart some advice from my life experience that i hope will help others in a similar situation and prevent them from making the same mistakes i did, ruining my life.

  to begin with, i’m a 52-year-old single woman, i’ve been a devout jw since i was a little girl.

  i had an abusive dad who left my mom, my two sisters and me when we were fairly young.

  You shouldn't have any regrets. You should be happy that his marriage wasn't wrecked.

  t's almost as if his behavior simple falls well short of most people's basic standards, regardless of their background, and is nothing at all todo with being religious, moralistic or "having been a JW".

  So true-

  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | november 2022. study article 48. keep your senses when your loyalty is tested.

  14 vlado, a 73-year-old elder in slovenia, struggled when his congregation merged with another congregation and the kingdom hall that he attended was closed.

  he says: “i did not understand why such a beautiful kingdom hall would be closed.

  Rules, Unfortunately there are many "Vlado,s" in this organization who have learned to rationalize even the most irrational decision that comes down from the top. They have given up their power of reason to the old men in Warwick.
  
  Vlado is like Boxer in Animal Farm, blindly following the pigs assuming they have the farm's best interest at heart when in reality the system he loyally serves betrays him.

  So bad, so sad

  Apostates apparently have their own terminology

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a dyed in the wool witness actually posted this as if non-witnesses invented unheard of terminology,.

  "those who devote their life to criticize jehovah’s witnesses use a lot of very specific expressions and ideas common only to them:.

  “8 old men in new york”,.

  Sounds like this "dyed in the wool" witness has been spending a little too much time looking at ex jw sites.

  Assembly Dramas:They were so bad.... but.... you waited for them to break away from the monotony!

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  you do remember the four day assemblies... sitting outdoors being fried in the sweltering heat,getting heat stroke in the middle of july in an outdoor baseball stadium.sitting outdoors from 9:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. was so much fun while you wore a suit,long sleeve shirt and a tie while your brain fried.

  mom's who had children to take care of,lug strollers,feed all the kids,take them for bathroom breaks and try to not faint from the heat.. the sound and audio was always breaking and barely audible from the wind,airplanes flying over and (if you attended the cicero,illinois circuit )you would smell horse manure from the horse stables next door.. you know that you are a jehovah's witness.... when the only excitement waiting for the drama... where brothers and sisters dress up in ancient cloths,fake beards,fake rocks and fake soldier uniforms and wave their hands incessantly to pretend that they are acting out a drama.the excitement was unbearable!.
