i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.

Hello

by lurkernomore in

i thought it was high time to introduce myself (without my name of course).

as my name would suggest i have been reading your intriguing post, thoughts and discussions for some time now.

around 3/4 months to be exact.. i guess to start with it would seem fitting to give a little background on my current situation.. i'm a born-in, but have over the last few years found that through a number of varying occurences, (some of which i may discuss in future posts) that my 'zeal' has gone from regular field service and meetings to no service in over a year and very sporadic meeting attendance.

Having read the forums on JW.net and other sites like JWFacts aswell as other sources of information I see the future as more exciting rather than daunting. Only time will tell I guess.-LNM

You have a positive mental attitude and happily your wife is with you. Keep us informed of your plans, we enjoy a good example of sucess. It inspires us. Kate xx

Advice about going to Meetings...................oh why didn't I listen...LOL!!!!!

by KateWild in

i have been back to meetings for a month now.

prepared for them all except for when i went on holiday.. todays wt is about jehovah's organisation, it's clear loaded language and manipulation through fear.

i am not perturbed by it in the least.

What does she do there Kate?- Pams girl

I am not sure of her job title, but she knows things that I want kept private from her if she is going to publically shun me. If she is not going to shun me in the sugery I don't mind her having access to private information as I can rest assured she is bieng professional and there is no conflict of interest.

The word hypocrisy barely covers some of these instances!- LNM

Glad you have read CoC, there is no turning back now, if we do then we are the hypocrites too. Kate xx

Why don't you tell the doctor about this situation?-DS

Good idea, I have escalated the complaint through the proper channels. Her rudenss caused my ASD to worsen, this is unacceptable. Kate xx

Seeking to be actively shunned makes no sense.- losingit

Exactly, while I was at the meetings I showed my two loved ones I was prepared to be shunned as they were not shunning me. One will shun me now I have stopped going. The other one works for me and cares about me too, so there will be no shunning.

I don't accept I should be shunned in public and will not conform to the shunning policy. Plus I was unjustly DF'd, I commited no willful sin.

I have been back to meetings for a month now. Prepared for them all except for when I went on holiday.

Todays WT is about Jehovah's organisation, it's clear loaded language and manipulation through fear. I am not perturbed by it in the least. My two closest loved ones are not reading it properly hence are not really getting fully indoctrinated. So the process of trying to get them to see things from my perspective is working.

Something happened in the Doctors though...........the COBE wife works at my new doctors, moving is good to make a fresh start. But all my confidential matters are at risk of being violated. I was actually unsettled about this and approached her to find out what days she was off so I could avoid her. She refused to tell me and treated me dissmissivley and rudely. If I am trying to get RI'd I can't do anything about this unprofessional behaviour and I have to play by their rules.

Well as anyone who knows me well, I am not a WT rule player. I have escalated a complaint for her exasperating my ASD condition within the surgery. So there is no point in me going to meetings anymore. Yes I missed this morning and I am not going to anymore meetings. I will simply not tolerate shunning when I visit my own doctors.

I can easily find out her days off if I go in daily for two weeks. But why should I????? I am not going to make the effort to comply with WT shunning. I will go in and make general chit chat about her personal life and he involvement as a JW, it will make her feel uncomfortable. It will only make her feel uncomfortable becuase she is bieng unkind with the shunning, if she was nice I would leave her alone and let it go.

I should have listened to everyone who advised me not to go back.

No big deal, it was only a few weeks.

I am an activist now, complaining about shunning, yehay!!!!!!

Index of my Watchtower Doctrine Threads

by cofty in

i just wanted to put links to my watchtower threads all in the same place for my own benefit and future reference.. i wrote these 4 articles almost 20 years ago just after i left the watchtower and before i had encountered any ex-jw books or websites.

they were all based on original research of old wt publications and the nwt bible.. my explanation of why they got it wrong about blood using only the nwt.... i still think this line of reasoning is devastating to the blood doctrine.

i have yet to hear a rational response.. the gospel contrasted with the watchtower doctrine of the ransom.... i wrote this when i was an uber-evangelical.

KateWild

Thanks for the index cofty, I have read your letter when I looked you up, but the other threads look helpful also. I might read them on my lazy Sunday as I am not going to the meeting today. Hahaha! Kate xx
