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

  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.".

  I feel that most Jw's are great people, and they are just doing what they think is right which is exactly what I did for 26 years. I still have all of my Jw friends that I grew up with because they are all pretty much like me, they had very controlling, abusive Jw parents and when they got older they just wanted to be free, so most of my friends have been inactive for a long time like me. My two best friends both had dads that were elders, one a P.O. and neither one of them are elders anymore, they are both inactive. Most of them still feel that it is the truth, though, and up until very recently I still believed it was too, but after all of the stuff I have been learning I dont beleive it anymore.

  I am angry that the org took away all of the best years of my life but on the other hand it probably made me a better person with better morals. Who knows what kind of person I would have turned out without it.

  I am just praying to Jehovah to direct me to the right path, whatever it might be.

  Do the Elders know about this?

  .

  what kind of an example are we setting for young witness girls regarding modesty?

  i personally think she looks nice, although maybe she should try for some darker colors; but because of her jw affiliation, it justs makes one stagger at the double standards.

  Physical and/or Spiritual

  by Inkie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  no doubt all (with few and rare exceptions) believe that the physical world exists.

  however, what i should like to know is, how many here believe that a spiritual world exists?

  and, if you believe that a spiritual world exists, do you believe that the two worlds (or universes, call it what you like) each exist separately and distinct one from the other?

  I know that the spirit world exists, I have had personal experiences and a couple of my friends have had experiences also.

  Convention Concessions

  by Euphemism in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here's a question for you all... why does the society insist that all concession stands be closed at their convention facilities?.

  i can understand that back when they provided their own food service, they would not want the competition.

  (and in all fairness, their service was undoubtedly cheaper for the friends, many of whom have limited funds.

  They probably just had those god awful hoagies just to make sure people didn't eat too much and fall asleep during the talks.

  Love-Trademark of the christians?

  by vesse in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  all of you who have a little bit more than usual objective view of the religions.what have you noticed while observing the way how the parishioners of different churchers are showing love toward their fellowbelievers .is there any difference compared to jt's.i know that wts is boasting that the true and genuine love exists only among themselves.i don' t know exactly what a hell this means?one argument i have been told is that the door-to door preaching is one evidence of christian love ( far - fethed , i think ).

  what about at the congregational level?.

  any feedback?

  My updated profile...

  by Billygoat in

  2. experiences

  i finally decided after being here for over two years now, that i would finally get down in writing my jw history.

  i've posted it in my new profile, but since there are so many new people here i thought i'd go ahead and post it too.

  i do this to encourage you to pen your jw history.

  Billygoat- I also experienced alot the the same things as you growing up in the "truth". I am still scarred from all of the emotional abuse I received from my JW grandmother who raised me, who was running me to the elders on a weekly basis for the pettiest things, and no matter what I did I was never doing enough for Jehovah in her eyes and I was going to die at armageddon. I finally had enough. Been out for 9 yeas, and my life is great. I'm so glad I finally learned the real truth

  For real or slip of the pen?

  by seedy3 in

  1. watchtower

  ok in another thread found here i found here http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/55200/1.ashx it references some articles by roberta moore, whos children were killed and she is blaming the wts (and i don't doubt it at all), you can read about it in that thread and corresponding links.

  now as much as i feel for this person, because i know, this cult is responsable for countless deaths all over the world be it from suicide, "persicution", the blood issue and the list goes on.

  i wonder if these pictures are for real in what she is claiming or can we go to any picture and find hidden symbols that are just the way the picture was drawn, with no real meaning at all.

  Pretty freaky deaky, but like most of the people here I doubt these images were put there deliberately. You can find a face or skull in any picture if you look hard enough
