  How long did it take for you to realize it wasn't the truth?

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so many of us, so many reasons we left or were kicked out.

  from that point, how long did it take for you to not feel guilty about things and realize that the wts is not the "truth" as they always claim and that they have no say in whatever happens to us later.. for me, it was a slow fade.

  not so much because i was determind to leave it; it was basically laziness in that regard.

  How do you feel towards JW's and the organization ? on July 18,2003

  by run dont walk in

  some of us have been out awhile, some of us may have just left, some of us still on the fence.. how do you feel towards the jw's and the organization right now, july 18, 2003.. compassion, hurt, hatred, anger, sorry, bitterness, helpless, robbed, cheated, or any other feeling you can think off.

  which one describes your situation best ???????????.

  all of us feel and handle situations with family differently, yet we are so much the same.. the day may come when family comes to you and says those dreaded words ........... " i can no longer have any association with you, not even on the telephone.".

  Did you ever feel guilty when you went out in service?

  by micheal in

  2. friends

  i'm speaking not about yourself, but for the houeholder.

  i would say for about the last 1.5 yrs before i left i didn't want to give a "good witness".

  one because i didn't completly believe in it and two, i didn't want the householder to live the same misery i and most others were living.

  i stumbled on to my wife km and started to read it,wow thers alot of crap in there huh,but there was one topic about your dress atire,i cant believe that some people could have a gang of freaks locked away in a building tell them what not to wear such as faddish or trendy fashion ,are jw's so mentally weak.

  if there are any jw's here attending meetings wake up and smell the coffee your wasting your life.. tron.

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with 5 meetings a week plus field service, and additional reading of the bible and watchtower literature, what did you learn after all these years in the jw organization?

  did we need all those meetings and time and effort just to know some simple details?

  in all these years i spent there, this is just about all i can say i learned there: .

  what song makes you turn up the car radio and start singing!.

  song that kicks in the automatic pilot and takes over.. i heard a bunch of "steely dan" on the radio today and most of the songs i had completely forgotten about.

  they made some good songs in the 70's/80's.

  Sick of it

  by Tron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am not a jw, i am 100% free to choose born and raised.

  well let me get to my story, i have no problem with jw, my wife who i love with all my heart is though.

  she was raised in it and didnt have much choice due to a dominating mother in the truth, and at 16 got baptized by pressure, we have 3 young children who attend meetings but i made it very clear that they will choose there own way, i dont worry because she is a believer but still has her own mind.

  LANDMARK DECISION - Vicki Boer vs Watchtower Society

  by Uzzah in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  as most are aware, vicki boer has been long awaiting a decision to be handed down in a case she started against the society in canada.. the decision was handed down today.

  as with any 55 page decision, it will take some time for the legal experts to hash it over and decipher what was said.

  but, in a nutshell..... vicki won.
