  Fading, Stopping Meetings, DA or DF'ing, Thoughts on Getting the Hell Out Of There

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i read some threads about why someone remains a ministerial servant or elder, or why they are still active jw's.

  others are telling stories about how they cut back slowly, and some of them got removed as ms/elder/pioneer or whatever.

  yet others tell of how they just up and stopped going one day.

  i too was an elder when i first realized fully ttatt. i resigned within 6 months and i've been fading ever since, about 7 years now. i'm inactive but my dear wife is still active. 3 of my 4 children have seen that i no longer believe and they too have started to fade. we have not yet had a full on discussion regarding ttatt,but they are smart enough to figure it out for themselves that the only reason that they are jw's is because their mom and i forced it on them same as we had it forced on us. i have hope for my wife because she has accepted my 'awakening' and often asks questions. she has a 87 year old jw mother that she still needs to appease.

  Did I ever fear jehovah?

  by Ignoranceisbliss in

  when i think back on when i started losing faith in the borg it all becomes kinda fuzzy.

  even when i was 19, a pioneer an ms and the local golden boy i clearly remember lying about my field service time every month.

  if i really feared jehovah there's no way i would of done that.

  i thought that i feared jah but it was really the displeasing of my mom (and the brothers that i looked up too) that i really feared. since i was very young i often wondered why jah didn't take better care of his 'name' people. when i realized/saw that jw's suffered just like all others,even though jah could have helped them, it was then that i stopped fearing jah and maybe i also stopped believing in jah too.

  Assembly Invitations: A Sad, Pathetic Anachronism

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, witlesses are handing out assembly invitations locally for their gatherings to invite the public to attend...... .

  a meeting that's 50, 100, 150 miles away?

  there was an era when placards were put in storefront windows and bombastic sermons were delivered by radio.

  Interesting that the number of "helpers" to the gb is 24---just like in revelation, 24 elders around the throne. Damn, now if they can just fix that 144,000 number as being symbolic, and the 1,000 year reign as symbolic, then by golly they might find a little credibility. NOT!

  The ones pictured on the Watchtower , May 15, 1984 didn't pass away. They were all of the "annointed" (tm) so it can easily be explained by the gb that they didn't "really" pass away, they just changed bodies and are now in heaven. See how easy that was. I should be on the gb, I know how to bs also. Presto! magic-o, alll fixed so that, once again the wt is correct.

  Yea the 19 a**holes that blew up the twin towers in NY, Pentagon, and downed a loaded in PA, they had FAITH the that were going to receive 50 virgins each on the 'other side'. Faith is a useful tool if used for the right reasons------and based on something besides a 'good feeling'.

  Dilemma

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  gorby and his lovely wife had during dinner a chat about watchtower hypocrisy.

  she faded with me since 2007 and shows sometimes affection for the organization.. we talked about the gb and ray franz.. she asked me if she could read my ray franz books.. now i have a dilemma.

  the books gave me a hard time in the '90.. i know the ray franz truth can hurt and shock her so much.

  She'll probably 'jump your bones' because you will bring her so much joy and extasy. Ray's books were the best things that happened to me on the road to freedom.

  brother lett was giving the last talk of the day about what they supposedly accomplished in 100 years.

  i was just waking up so im paraphrasing alittle(i was dosing off all day) anyways in his introduction he said.

  "there is more evidence to prove gods kingdom on the earth is a reality than wind,electricity and gravity is a reality on the earth".

  I also enjoyed how Steve Lett, after explaining the "nu understanding " about the 3rd heaven (BS) contained in first Cor., said at the end of his convuluted explanation, (and I loosely paraphrase what he said " Now I won't go into what we (JW'S) use to believe on this subject---BECAUSE IT WILL JUST CONFUSE YOU!" No SH**T, that is what he said. Wow, we sure don't want to be confused with TRUTH now, do we?
