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?

Do You Regard This Place As A Rehab Centre?
by Englishman in
1. jw

to clarify:.

on this site, and others, i regularly come across people who say they are "moving on", or "getting a life for themselves", or simply stating that they have "outgrown this place".. now, i'm not talking about people who have simply got bored with posting, or are cheesed off with someone else and decide not to post anymore.

i'm talking about ex's who have come here purely as some sort of therapy exercise and believe that, once recovery is achieved, that "moving on" is a necessary conclusion to their re-adjustment back to normality.. in other words, like sandra bullock believed in "28 days", they assume that leaving is a sign that they are no longer operating dysfunctionally.

(note from mom -- cruzanheart -- our jennie, who is 9 years old, wanted very badly to join the forum, so we agreed that she could as long as she posts and reads while sitting on one of our laps, for censorship purposes!

she wrote the following essay over the weekend after we had a talk with her about the circumstances surrounding her grandfather's death.

she's letting me type it, but the spelling and punctuation is hers.).

thunder and i saw dreamcatcher based on the book of the same name by stephen king.

i screamed at least three times, it stayed true to the novel and the actors were amazing.

i loved how they made jonsey's office in his mind, it was just as i had imagined it.

The Ways JW's Irritate People
by minimus in
1. jw

one thing that i am becoming more and more aware of is that jehovah's witnesses can be mighty irritating people.

for example, a few jw's were gossipping about how the elders are stupid and useless.then in the same breath, when someone has a problem, one of them will ask,"why don't you tell the elders about this, so you can get some help?

" or you'll hear people complain about how there's nobody that treats them nice, and yet they are the biggest complainers in the world.
