  Personal reflections

  hello all and happy new year!.

  i don't post here often,but as the new year just started and my birthday is tomorrow, i am feeling extra reflective.

  it has been several years since i was willingly disfellowshipped, and i say willingly because when the judicial committee asked me my thoughts on the organization i told them i thought it was not a god directed organization.

  Is it just me...

  i haven't been on this site for as long as many of you, but when i first started it just felt like much more supportive and constructive.

  as of late though it just seems to be a very toxic and argumentative place to be.

  i speak for myself and i believe others as well, when i say that some of us need a place where we can vent, speak our minds freelym and not feel attacked.

  How will the WT spin China???

  by Freeof1914 in

  i read an article this morning on how china is quickly reaching even footing with the united states in all aspects; military, economic etc.

  the article continued saying how it was imperative that the united states recognize that it would be forced to behave accordingly or risk ddestabilizing the world.

  another interesting statement was made that sooner rather than later the u.s. would become the 2nd largest economy falling behind china.

  Life after DF/divorce

  2. experiences

  i am just wondering how many here have gone through the experience of being disfellowshipped and divorced?

  i am currently in that situation and sometimes i am afraid of what to expect.

  thankfully i have a good core of friends, but nonetheless i still find myself somewhat nervous of what to expect in my new life.

  as some of you know several weeks ago i was disfellowshipped for several reasons, but primarily my thoughts on the organization.

  last night i had a very interesting conversations with my wife after she came back from the meeting and several things jumped out at me that made see even more clearly how sick this religion is.

  first of all, several months ago we attended a wedding of a friend.

  i have only posted on here several times, but i am constantly reading what others post.

  What happened to the 1st century FDS

  by Freeof1914 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was giving this new understanding from the annual meeting some thought and several things struck me as odd.

  first and foremost the gb has now essentially set themselves up to be even superior to the twelve apostles, handpicked by jesus!

  according to this new understanding the fds did not come about into existenced until 1918/19... i forget the exact year.

  Missing family dearly

  2. medical

  hey people it's been a tough couple of weeks for me, my wife and i have seperated i expected this, but it has been much more difficult than expected.

  my family has gotten a million times more distant because of my inactive status and questioning ofthe org.

  i do have wordy friends but still feel pretty bad being alone i have even contemplated returning to meetings for the sole purpose of not losing y family and life, but i cannot fathom the thought of bowing down to their rules and sacrificing my own integrity.
