Stopped cold and forever after a moment of clarity during a congregation WT study.
Not planned, Not ever in my wildest imagination did I think I'd be where I am today. Don't even know how it happened, but so very happy it did.
Dagney. I'm curious-what was the moment of clarity?
Disassociated (February 2008) and life has been very good.
Sort of a cross between Job and the unclean and hated bird of Revelation.
Rub a Dub
Full Blown Exposer of the satanic cult of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Confirmed opposer of the demon inspired 'Faithful Slave' of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.
What happened with me is that after figuring out that they (my elders) were just like the Pharisees, I decided that that meeting was going to be the last one I ever went to and that I could do pretty much the entire meeting at home with all of the books and KM's and video tapes in sign language.
It was a good way to save gas and sanity.
It took me just one and a half home "meetings" before I realized I just couldn't stand doing it that way.
So, I quit the whole entire shebang in October of 2005 and declared on 8/8/06 that "I am no longer a Jehovah's Witness" while standing alone in my kitchen, sorta like a reverse personal dedication.
During that gap time, I did a lot of thinking and realized that all elder bodies operated like the Pharisees.
It was my declaration of freedom. I think it's marked on the '06 calendar...oh, it's thrown away.
I saw a sis at Safeway yesterday and she talked with me, so I guess I'm a Fader.
I 'm a dog who has returned to his own vomit.
ME TOO. AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. WOULD FEEL BETTER IF MY KIDS WOULD SEE THE LIGHT.
not apart of it, just surrounded by it. What does it mean to be a publisher? Are they the people that go around and drop off magazines at laundry mats? This to me should be called a pusher. Publisher would be one that puts the articles ready for print.
After 32 years working my butt off for the watchtower i finally faded or stopped going to any meetings 14 months ago.
Not a slave of the watchtower anymore.
Stopped going, haven't been back.
