  “Even if this wasn’t the Truth, I need the structure.”

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember many years back a fellow ministerial servant saying this to me.

  he felt that even if jehovah’s witnesses were not the only true religion, the regimented routine of meetings and field service and the strict rules and enforcement provided a beneficial structure for his life.

  at the time i thought if this wasn’t “the truth”, i’d have no need for all that “structure”.

  Thanks Londo for this thread. I like structure and routine in my life. Since leaving WT I haven't had as much and feel a little lost and insecure.

  I often think about going back just for the daily routine and structure.......but then my internal sense of justice kicks in and my integrity.

  I can't possibly be a part of something so corrupt and cruel to the vulnerable. Besides I would have to go through reinstatement which is unloving and uncaring.

  But I do understand this MS perspective and his need for routine and structure.

  Home made blood card wording (extra blood please, gimme all of the blood)

  by disposable hero of hypocrisy in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  yo bitches.. being a good submissive little jdub i lodged a copy of my blood card with my eldubs.

  it's in their safe as we speak.

  i want to counteract that document without altering the eldubs to this fact.. my doctor has agreed to put a note on the medical system (uk) saying that i've changed my mind on the blood issue, no matter what any legal-paper-waving death merchant wt representatives may sputter at my death bed.

  Good idea. Generally the HLC don't really care about the rank and file, especially if their blood card isn't renewed every year.

  But good to have a plan in place.

  Letter # 1 to the Governing Body of Jehovah's witnesses

  here is my first letter i posted to the governing body.

  i also hope that brothers on the writing committee who may be lurking on this site (and have some clout) read my letter and bring in change to this very flawed policy around confession of sins.. enjoy.

  the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses.

  I deeply understand your frustration about the WT policies....but I also understand the perspectives of the posters who have responded.

  Take care.....we are here to help you move on.

  Hello

  by WITNESS-FOR-WATCHTOWER-REFORM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just to say a big hello.

  i have been reading this site for some time now and have been very unhappy with some of the things emanating from watchtower head quarters in new york.

  the final straw for me is the upcoming watchtower study this weekend encouraging us to shun our own family members (our own mothers if need be) if they are disfellowshipped....a step too far for my liking.

  Welcome to the site.

  Wanting reform and fighting for it is noble. It can also be cathartic for a time.

  Please stay on the board if things don't change the way you feel is fair. We all understand what you want.

  Best of luck

  Faith, where now?

  by Theburstbubble in

  2. beliefs

  so for the first time ever i went to a church service at my local church (coe) and i have to say it was awful!

  it was just like a ritual.

  the vicar would say something and then the congregation would all say a phrase in unison back to him.

  DavidJay,

  Theburstbubble started this thread going on a journey to find something. You have high jacked the thread to preach. Okay other posters are asking you questions but Theburstbubble is not interested in what you have to say.

  We know what you believe, let Theburstbubble find out what he / she believes

  Lennon and McCartney could so easily have been writing for the Watchtower...

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in fact just like the watchtower, i've no idea what they were writing about half the time.

  all that rubbish about " i am the walrus" and eleanor rigby keeping her teeth in a jam jar or something, and what "lucy the in the sky with diamonds" means i do not know!

  anyway, i mention the above because shortly after i quit meetings, beattle loving brother, ian x also, stopped attending meetings, and i watched him transform himself in to a, scruffy bearded, hippyish, beer drinking slob, ( translation a great guy) .

  Rebel,

  He obviously never broke free. When he stopped going he was mentally still a believer. Just wanted to disobey the WT rules.......he couldn't have thought the rules were wrong though.

  Lots of JWs leave and still are mentally attached to WT.

  Shame I am not as young as you though.

  Starting threads

  by Landy in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  any chance of people resisting the urge to start new threads when the subject is already being discussed?.

  the prince threads are a good example.

  instead of one interesting to read thread with lots of replies you end up with forty threads with one or two replies.

  When a crime is commited?

  by Drifting Away in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i responded to someone on another thread, but would love to know this answer.. if a victim adult or child goes to elders and claims they were abused, don't they have to have clergy confidentiality?

  so i was told that they encourage the victim to contact authorities , and they contact bethel, but arent there hands tied if the victim does not want to go to authorities?

  an elder made the comment to me once.

  WT have a policy of covering up crime within WT so as not to bring reproach on Jehovah.

  When my daughter was physically beaten which resulted in a black eye by my ex, we went to an elder. He told us not to go to a domestic violence shelter and told us not to go to the police.

  He denies this now.

  Hiding crime is what they do. We are not the only ones......and when a female tries to expose a crime she is df'd.
