  A fresh start

  by FormerlySandL in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after the worst introduction i could ever make on the forum i would like to reintroduce myself and make a fresh start on the forum and hopefully over time i will be able to redeem myself.

  i have changed my user name which was over dramatic and ridiculous in the cold light of day but for transparency and to show i am not trying to hide anything i have adapted the original name and it now has a more positive feel.

  after reading a lot of posts on this forum i am feeling more optimistic about my future.

  an hour ago

  3 pioneer schools? thats quite some going, I thought most pioneers only do one.After my tremendous achievements as a Gilead missionary in North Korea, Somalia,Iran and Afghanistan and repeated attempts to attend yet another Gilead graduation I threw the towel in at 5.

  
  

  Yes, you can go every five years. Most of the pioneers that attend pioneer school are ones that have already been 2 or 3 times.

  Do you know for sure that you will be disfellowshipped? Or did you do something that warrants that according to the congregation?

  If it's only doubts, I would suggest, as some already have, to keep them to yourself until you devise an exit plan.

  Could you apply for welfare until you get on your feet?

  If you can, tell us an approximate location of where you live. We can get in touch with some of the ex jw's in the UK that might know resources and agencies that will help you get a head start and get on your feet.

  The reason some of us hear an alarm when money is asked is because there are been scammers in the past that have had less than sincere motives.

  It's Ok to be scared and lonely, but this is only temporarary and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

  Cheers,

  The Watchtower Letters

  by NeonMadman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  several years ago, i put together a compilation of various types of correspondence between me and the watchtower society, that occurred over the 30 years i was a jw.

  some was just administrative stuff, like pioneer appointments and letters.

  but there were also several letters that i wrote regarding doctrinal issues, including some sensitive ones.

  am NOT asking you to give anything but please would you be kind enough to share the page on your social media accounts to spread the word

  I don't want to sound insensitive, but you say you are not asking for money, but you've set up a gofundme account?

  I am sure if you take the time and read on through some of the archives, you will find some good suggestions on how you can move forward.

  If you saw a bottle of poison on the kerbside would you leave it there,most people would try and put it somewhere safe.I put the teaching books in a trash can because in 5 years time some person could take that and be sucked into the jw cult but they cant if the book is in a trash can

  I see you rationale. Carry on then

  The witnesses are probably loving you because they are placing all these books.

  A Good Decade

  by theliberator in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you were really into the organization back in the 80's, you have to admit, that it was the peak of the organization.

  it was a time of high energy and excitement.

  like any nation, it reaches a peak and then it declines.

  I pioneered all through the 80's. It was a time of boom! especially since we all thought the end would come before the end of the century.

  As to the good quality books....looking back now, it is so clear how full of nonsense they were.
