since this forum is for cleansing and healing through sharing, i want to share some confessions of an ex-elder.
how could i have allowed myself to be conned into becoming an elder?
and, after becoming an elder, why did it take me 3 years to finally figure out the hypocrisy of the organization?

just curious here.... where do the governing body and other senior bethelite members in brooklyn get buried when they die?
is there a central cemetery where they all get buried/cremated?
who pays for the funeral expenses?.
I agree with rebel,
Took the best positions in (their) life and the best places in death. Hypocritres the whole lot of them!
...cried through a meeting and, if so, what were the reasons?.
i cried through a lot of meetings at my second congregation while i was still in good standing.
i couldn't stop myself; i'd just cry quietly.
The only panic attack I experienced was when I woke up from a dream, in which I was back in the Borg! Phew! That’s enough to panic anyone!
Joking aside, Beryl, you know how much I feel about you. So sorry and fully understandable – which is why I hate the Watchtower so much. This absolutely incredible control a bunch of morons can have on others is just unbelievable. I agree, at least the woman in the car was more concerned about YOU than her own reputation.
Hang in there, Beryl. You’re amongst true carers now.
Love and great BIG (((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))

it's been a year since i've done this so i thought i'd do it again.
perhaps it will be a nice break from all of the ranting going on (myself included).. http://www.geocities.com/lavenderwater37/birthdaytrees.htm.
by the way, i'm a weeping willow.
When I found I was fig tree, I thought "What! A %&*#~* fig tree!" But I guess it IS pretty well accurate!
Fig Tree
The sensibility - Very strong, a bit self-willed, independent, does not allow contradiction or arguments, loves life, its family, children and animals, a bit of a butterfly, good sense of humor, likes idleness and laziness, of practical talent and intelligence.Yep, that's me all right!
first, i never was a jw, but since a dear friend of mine is one, i'm here to learn from the human elements in order to give her quiet assistance in leaving someday (soon, i hope).... i love reading.
my favorite author thru the years has been cs lewis.
i read narnia in hs, and loved the last book the best (last battle).
thankyou for pasting this for me pr_capone .. yeah, it's turned out rough as guts .. i'll try and edit the squiggles out of the bastard

Hey Unc,
This’s the most hilarious thread I’ve read since coming here. Ha Ha Ha, Ho Ho Ho, Tee-hee-hee. I’m almost in tears, man!
Thanks for such a good laugh.

did u ever feel so depressed u felt the only thing that could get rid of the pain was to commit suicide???
?...well i tried that tonite,i know its not a good thing ,but i felt it was the only way out..well im still here so i didnt do it,thank god,my wrists have lil cuts everywhere tho,i just hope no one sees them..if u guys remember me yall know it has been an ongoing battle with my parents cause i dont wanna be a witness.. now i literally cannot do nothing!
they dont trust me at all!
Shy,
This REALLY gets me angry. The more I read of the pain such as you are suffering, the more I want to destroy the Watchtower if its the last thing I do.
I feel your pain, believe me. My brother committed suicide and it utterly destroyed my family. My mum was never the same again and tried to take her own life on a number of occasions. I walked in on her one day and found her trying to slit her wrists with a razor blade - and there were other awful incidents.
Everyone on this forum has been pained. I'm angry, REALLY ANGRY, about reading your post - because you don't deserve this garbage. PLEASE, keep in touch with those who have kindly offered to help. YOU are not the guilty one here. You are a lovely person with your whole life ahead of you. We want to help you live your life to the full.
Hang in there. Contact those who have left their e-mail addresses. I'm in England so too far away, but if you want to e-mail me I'm a good listener.
Love and (((((((((HUGS)))))))))))

Thanks for this, Berten. It's really sick, isn't it. Glorifying the buildings of a paedophile-protective, family-destroying cult.

this past weekend we had our circuit assembly.
you guessed it, same ol' same ol.
' on saturday, the overall theme was based on materialism.
If he wants to attend Assemblies or meetings, does he not have the right to do so without having to defend himself or justify his actions?
NO!

they watchtower and the rest of the gb can all burn in hell as far as i'm concerned!
Nonjwalltheway,
Are we to deduce that you don’t like the WTS, then?
