Do you ever stop caring?...

    .. what people think??

    I left the JW online world.. tried to leave quietly and without offense to anyone. Of course there were ones who take offense that I chose to stop associating, to stop attending meetings, to stop my JW activities. I can even take that anger, because it is done (I tell myself) because they 'love' me and fear I have sentenced myself to 'death'. That I can excuse..

    What I can't excuse is JWs that find this site distasteful and judge anyone who posts here and yet the only way for them to know you are here.. SOMEONE has to be here. So how does it make them any BETTER by BEING HERE and READING??? at this APOSTATE SITE than for me to post here????

    LET YOUR CONSCIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE.. BUT IF YOU ARE READING THIS.. AND SINCE ONE MUST BE A MEMBER TO BE IN THIS SECTION.. THEN LOOK IN THE MIRROR.. BE OBEDIENT IN THE LITTLE THINGS.. IF YOU FIND THIS APOSTATE SITE DISTASTFUL.. LEAVE..

    ok.. I'm on a soapbox today.. but I am sick and tired of these do gooders that come to this site only to spy.. and then report back to the JW dbs and spread rumors..

    so... tell me (REAL FRIENDS).. do you ever stop caring what they think? or the gossip that goes on?..

    I finally have come to the point that I feel I don't care. The vks of this world, the spies of JWland who just love gossip......especially the nobodies who feel like somebodies now that they have gossip.....all those people were never my friends, they associated with me but were never my friends. It makes me mad when they hurt others, like you, but they don't hurt me anymore.

    I feel that others should condemn them for reading if they condemn me for posting! They should extract the rafter out of their own eye before looking at me.

    NO...It's only human nature to be disappointed when you're gossiped about by people who wish malice (or, at best, misguided concern).

    It does diminsh, though...I'm slowinly coming to peace and acceptance with what will happen when I let the cat out of the bag. I'm looking at the Rubicon right now, and dreading what the voices will undoubtedly say when I step over it...even though I know it will get better.

    It just pisses me off that only those who are here reading at this site can know if I am even here and yet they have the gull to judge me... I am normally a very mild person.. not high strung.. get along with everyone...

    I am not bothering anyone.. not telling them how to live their lives... or judging them.. not trying to talk them into leaving the JWs.. or trying to force their eyes open to the hypocrasy of this religion..

    JUST the fact that they come here gives me MORE proof this is NOT THE TRUE RELIGION.. for if it was.. and they really felt that way.. then their CONSCIENCE would not allow them to be here.. they would be OBEDIENT to the Kingdom Ministry and direction for the WTS.. their very own acts of hypocrasy give more evidence this can not be the truth.

    When you think about it, for the most part, JWs are more about, "do as I say, and don't look at what I do." They make such a big fuss over not paying attention to the apostates at the convention, not daring to read the signs but its ok to lurk and spy over here??

    I remember talking to one online admin and she admitted she read here every single day to see if anyone of her members was posting here. Well, she would have had to follow certain posters, get to know them and their humor, their style of writing, etc to be able to identify them. How in the heck can justify herself? Well, she thinks she is protecting her discussion board but if the JW's are correct, soon she will be corrupted by what she is reading.

    How can a person keep reading here and then not have their eyes opened eventually??? At one point or another, they are going to see something that clicks, something that says, OMG, I never thought of it that way.

    So, I don't mind that they read.......but I do mind that they are judging and hurting nice people. I have been out so long now and it also keeps the ex-mother-in-law at bay........ I am a labeled apostate .... And vk keeps her informed of that!

    SNS,

    I hope no one is backstabbing you currently. I'd like to say it doesn't hurt when the former friends hypnotized zombies gossip about us. I am 900 miles away from my old cong so I don't get to hear the gossip unless my son tells me. He does not associate.He hears it all from his very, very bitter inactive JW father. He gets angry because of the rumors his dad and the rest spread that I am "mentally ill" and this is why I have left the org and am now with some *GASP* worldly guy. I realize that most of them would not be judging me were they not JWs. I think of Jesus' words, "Forgive them....for they know not what they do."

    When you think about them lurking here, the little weasels, repeat the mantra, "Forgive them ( the weasels) for they know not what they do."

    I maintain that if they open this site and realize it is an "apostate" site and stay here and read then they are not dyed in the wool JWs. There is a serious lack of respect for authority of the Gov Bod/Jehovah in their hearts and minds or they would not be here.

    JWs who are here out of sincere curiosty and concern, please know God loves you and he understands you have doubts and he will answer those doubts. Give him a chance.

    JWs who are here for the express purpose of outing people, yeah, I'm talking to you:

    Jehovah sees everything. He's got his angels watching everything you do. You are sinning against the holy spirit. Your backside is NOT covered should you die tonight or at Armegeddon. Furthermore, Satan and his demons are watching you, too. By your disobedience to the Society you have opened yourself up to demon control. You better watch out. You know how big those demons are, they can squash you like a gnat! Run to the elders and repent! Quickly. You know the demons delite in what you are doing. They are taunting God as I type and you read: "Look, see, when faced with the temptation of the internet and apostate websites ______<...(fill in the blank with your name) did not pass the test. _______belongs to us now!!!)

    Welcome, SNS, I've been here long enough now to welcome people.

    Love,

    Heather

    PS....I haven't been here long enough to know if the above is an evil bad no-no. If it is I am soooo sorry.

    Of course there are a lot of hypocritical dubs that feel it?s their duty to spy on others. I mean growing up it was always your duty to rat out on your friends for the good of the organization, so what is different here. As far as I am concerned maybe these spineless types might learn something if they opened up their brains and read a few posts.

    William.. the thing is.. even when I was a JW.. even growing up in the congregation I never once 'ratted on any one. I even got scolded by the elders later for NOT telling..

    I understand breakingbenjamin, I just don't want my real name and cong out there.. although I dont' have a cong any longer any way..

    William, I didn't mean to infer you did rat on anyone. I just thought it was ironic for someone who never (and should have according to rules) ratted on anyone.. I didn't.. yet you can't do anything without some JW being in your business.. Even though you aren't having anything to do with them at all... who asked them to spy... to come to this place that is so "wrong" to be at?
