  Books that tell...

  by zebagain in

  1. social
  2. current

  of the many books that tell another story of the wts written by ex bethelites or people with a bent for research; well i have noticed the price of these on the world market.

  take the one by franz "crisis of conscience" and it is hundred s of dollars secondhand and not avalable new.

  hmmm i wonder if the society or its stooges are buying up every copy and as an aside forcing the price up.

  Oh Kate, he's getting it! He is on board. He don't read anything online about the ttatt. He will talk with me about what I've read, etc. But as far as doing his own research, no. He is the one taking all the heat from our being absent from meetings. He sees it for what it is, Bull.

  HUbby was asked where we've been. Apparently he said "here in this county" and walked away. We're not doing this fade the right way I guess. hehehe

  Was eating out with husband. Nice evening chatting and relaxing. Ready to head home and chill for the night. Lock eyes with a JW! Quick wave and let hubby pay the bill as I try to slip out the door... I'm blocked by another JW, a quick "hi" and I slip by... panic! I let my husband take the heat! I'm chicken crap I guess... I'll let them chalk it up as I'm crazy. LOL. Have to laugh at myself. I know I'm going to have to learn how to be a bit less skitish looking. I probably looked like a rabbit trying to escape a pack of dogs...

  Ugh

  On a Scale of 1 to 10---How Devoted Were You To Being One of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i grew up in the religion, i was a 10. i wanted to be made a "servant" because that was instilled in me from infancy.

  i diligently studied ever piece of watchtower literature and defended my religion intensely.. when i got into my 30's, i started to see little cracks in the watchtower's surface but decided to "wait on jehovah".

  then i started to research a little more critically and realized i couldn't defend the prophecies, the treatment of people and the hypocrisy that was becoming more obvious, that especially an elder can see.. it was a gradual thing---from a 10 to a zero!.

  Started with a lot of zeal, convert 10... then after 20 something years, I was label spiritually weak. Now I realize I wasn't weak, I was just not buying into the crap anymore. Finally waking up, I'm a 0

  what made you realize it was time to go?

  i've been having health problems for the last few years and instead of any help, i'm listed as spiritually weak and of course associations is only my kids and husband.

  all the good jw's have moved to other congregations and are doing well.

  I posted this 12/10/2013 and I've not been back to the Khall since or a little before that date. Wow, how time goes by fast. Now if we could just avoid the vultures that are circling.
