  2. relationships

  hey guys,.

  this is going to be a topic of a different nature.

  so, while i am not looking to date at the current moment since i'm still trying to figure out who i am and what i want life, i do want to start dating in the near future.. my issue is that i've been in for almost all my life and it's left a big hole when it comes to my romantic life.. i was wondering, after leaving, did any of you date?

  why when a person is dis fellowship the elders and others act like all hope is gone and refuse help that person come back to God's Word

  Disfellowshiping is all nonsense. The elders make up their own rules. It can be harsh and unloving if you don't have a family member on the body of elders. They can just forget about you and keep saying no to reinstatement.

  I suggest you tell your husband to stop trying now cos it's nonsense.

  Good luck

  Welcome the comet, Thanks for your post...it's nice to see lurkers finally posting.

  I see you're still in for family but you woke up five years ago. That is a long time to still go to meetings.

  Are you struggling to keep sane at meetings? How do you cope? Do you want true freedom?

  Take care

  What did you become after leaving Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by Garrett in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey guys,.

  so, since my leaving i have been doing so much research on so many topics that it's been extremely enlightening.

  not only have i learned a lot about the organization and what motivates it, but i have also learned a lot about the bible, god and most importantly, myself.. currently, i'm not quite sure where i stand, but i'm having some real issues with the bible and god.

  Garret, I don't really know what I became when I learned TTATT. I suppose it has been a process of learning and I am still learning.

  At present I have enough evidence to suggest the process of evolution was guided by a higher power. But also that higher power is not benevolent in any way. If the processes I am talking about have more evidence that they are unguided I will change my view.

  So I am probably deist at the moment.

  only have a few minutes to spare so thought i would throw this together.. been in for about 30 years.

  questions and doubts gathered over that time.

  i have a keen interest in the legal and financial matters of the watchtower.. came across this site about 5 years ago.

  Welcome Ozgirl....yes I did say the new tithing arrangement was like an everlasting loan lol...I was being facetious.

  Your points are really good and your doubts are legitimate. Now is the time to decide what is next. Do you fade, exit dramatically, or stay put?

  Keep us informed.

  Advice needed on Crisis of Conscience

  by cappytan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, some of you may have seen my thread from yesterday about my wife waking up.. we had further discussion yesterday evening after i sent her the pbs video on the abuse scandals plaguing the watchtower.

  she was so furious and pissed off at wt hq.

  apparently a close relative of her's was abused by an elder and the only reason he was reproved and removed as an elder was because he confessed.

  but gave her fair warning that after reading it I felt like my world was crumbling-Cappytan

  Yeah you made a boo boo there. I was overwhelmed too when I read it. Tell her that if you send it to her....you will be there for her if she finds anything uncomfortable or stressful.

  i've been lurking here for a while now, and i guess you could call me a fader.

  i don't have hate in my heart for the organization that i spent most of my life in, but i have had an awakening.

  luckily, so has my wife, and that way i don't feel so alone.

  Hi Dubstepped, really loved your poem. Waking up is difficult but having your wife there is great. I woke up divorced df'd alone and isolated it was terrible.

  Glad you have someone special.

  Recorded judicial committee hearings

  by Bamidbar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i believe that the best way to inoculate any friend or relative of yours from becoming more deeply involved in the watchtower is exposure to recordings of the judicial process.. that goes for those already in the watchtower---if you can get them to listen.. what in your opinion are the best available online?.

  i recommend several.

  i am writing this off the cuff and do not have all the exact links, but you should find them easily.. anondud2 - on youtube.

  I recorded my JC meeting. It's on YouTube and it has had a few comments. I think it's helping some leave.

  Great news Cappytan. It's much easier learning TTATT with your spouse. She is certainly waking up, even though she won't read CoC just yet.

  You have a difficult road ahead, but if you plan your exit things will be on your terms.

  Set yourself achievable goals. This is something you can hope for. As for paradise I think it's a lie....we have paradise here and now. Save up and go visit paradise for two weeks.

  These things will help you focus.
