  How Being a Witness made you Lose out on Higher Education and Careers

  by flipper in

  hi, folks.

  been thinking of this, because of having been raised in the witnesses.

  i reflect back on opportunities i would have encountered and seized, had it not been for being controlled by the witness organization being told higher education was not needed.

  I got excellent grades all through school without even trying. I also am an excellent athlete, I often outperformed the "elite" athletes in my school during physical education class and all the coaches tried to recruit me. Of course this was forbidden. and I didn't apply myself to my classes because....what was the point? Just graduate early and pioneer! Well that backfired when as soon as I graduated (early) I moved out of my parents house, got involved in heavy drug use and ended up in prison for 4 years. What a protection the organization was for me! I could have went to any college of my choosing and had all that terrible association!

  this is the first message from the co:.

  "william claire menninger, a co-founder of the menninger foundation in topeka, kansas, wrote 13 symptoms of mental illness.

  one of them is: the attitude that i am always right and others always wrong.

  Worst Ever Field Service Experiences

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  generally i found most people were pretty apathetic and often surprisingly tolerant , but we've all had some bad ones.

  looking back , here were my worst couple of experiences - there probably were others but i've probably long forgotten them or blanked them off.. i was a kid of maybe 13 & it was bitterly cold & pouring with rain.

  i was working alone in a middle class street near my school where i knew a lot of my school teachers lived & was scared stiff at every door half the time pretending to press bells , doing the fake knock etc.

  My friend and I schemed every Saturday to go out in service together when we were teenagers. We usually did except when the one a$$hole elder conducted. He always split us up. We would write down the address of every abandoned house we came across, and those were our return visits. So after door to door work, one of us would give whoever was driving the address of one of our "return visits", where we would go to the back door and sit on their porch until it was time to go back to the hall. Actually that's a good experience.....sorry

  My Story Part One....My mother's wild hair.

  by Giordano in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mother had a wild hair one day and decided to study with the jw's.

  so after being a catholic for my first 12 years we were now apostates............ though neither she nor i realized it at the time.. i think what appealed to my mother was that the two sisters she studied with were very 'refined' they were also nicely dressed and very 'clean'.

  i had no idea what the hell she was talking about.

  Interesting story. Though I thought it was gonna be different. I know of a "sister" who was recently DF'd because the CO told her that her hairstyle was too "worldly" and she needed to change it. She refused. Bye bye.

  After thinking about this all evening and this morning. I've come to the conclusion I think I want to go along with her idea. Which would be to just write our DA letters and be done with it. And deal with the aftermath. I'm tired of playing the charade and want to put it behind me. Of course I'll look into legal advice to be prepared for what comes from the job situation. But even if worst comes to worst, we will deal with it and begin the process of putting this cult behind us. I texted my wife to call me on her lunch break so we can discuss it. I'll keep you all posted. thanks for the great advice everyone.

  btw...also wanted to mention we're letting our children get involved in school activities that are strongly frowned upon in the hall. My son is in wrestling and football. My daughter is in band. I know how much it hurt me to never be allowed to do the things I loved in school and could not put my children through the same misery I went through.

  and the plot thickens.......my boss (the elder) just contacted me to have our family do a service meeting part about youths and school. I told me wife about it and she told me this is why we need to write letters of dissasociation. I'm scared because of how it's going to affect us financially. If it wasn't for that I would have no problem with that. Wow....if someone would have told me this morning that before the day was over my wife would be pressuring me to turn in our DA letters I would have laughed in their face.

  adamah.....you're right. Unfortunately there are some circumstances that prevent a clean break. Mainly....I work for an elder and it won't be pretty. In a few years I'll be part owner....if I make it that long and he won't be able to screw me over. but now with what happened today it's got me thinking I need to make a move.

  I'm married with small children. My wife and I both born-in and baptized JWs. I began my slow drift about a year ago. I've discussed this with my wife. She is ok with it, but has always maintained that she still believes it. This morning when she said she was going to the meeting with the kids I told her I had some plumbing work that needed done so I wouldn't be going. When she came home she was crying and she informed me....."I'm done!" I said, what do you mean? She told me she was getting glares from the old bats at the hall because our son couldn't sit still. And she's tired of it and never wants to go back. Obviously I'm stunned and I expect she'll soften up on her stance. She told me she wants to write a letter saying she's never going back. I told her I'm not sure that's a good idea and we will think this through and discuss it. But this is huge! This afternoon she baked cookies and told me she's sending them to school with my son to give to his classmates for his birthday. And that she thinks we should buy the kids presents for Xmas! i'm absolutely dumbfounded at this.......but so happy!! Just had to share with someone. Thanks.

  The JW Report (Podcast)

  by Brother Mike in

  2. beliefs

  this is brother mike starting a new topic called the jw report.

  i was thinking about making a 30-40 minute podcast every week that will help expose the watchtower and his true meaning behind this so called worshiping the one and only true god and many other lies that they have been telling for decades.

  if you think this is an interesting idea please feel free to support me by commenting.
