    Do not let yourself be pushed around by them J. Remember that its your home and you have the right to kick them out if you feel they ae becoming to agressive. I did.

    Keep us informed!

    Love,

    Treat them like Amway salesmen. That is all they are. Sleazy publisher salesmen. I can't really imagine an Elder seeing me now. I'd make sure he left crying.

    J,

    It's easy! You know all the WTS dirt, don't you? Just tell them all about the crap, it'll make you feel better.

    ok...update.

    I stuck to my guns!! They requested I go out in service on SAT....I told them "No Way". My hubby agreed to go out in service...but that's ok...he will go and not go again for another year....as the world turns. My husband told the Elders that I had no desire to attend any meetings anymore. All they said was, "Sorry to hear that." FYI: My hubby grew up in the Truth and I am only a study.

    I have never found elders to be hostile...as of yet. I hear the horror stories though and keep my guard out.

    Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. Jehoveh really does answers prayers...even if you are not part of the society's organization!! I am learning quickly that what the society tells you about having to be Witness in order to be one of Jehovah's people...is just a tactic. A tactic to benefit the pockets of the WTS...not our personal relationshis with Jehovah.

    Jehovah loves you no matter if you are in a society, group, solo, alone, etc. I do not need a group of "discreet slave" (who think they are better than everyone else) telling me how I should maintain my relationship with Jehovah...that is between Jehovah and I.

    I have received more support from this board in 4-5 days than I have in 2 years being a part of the organization.

    THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT. :)

    Not with Sisterly love,

    But with Christian love,

    Jacqueline

    Well done, keep strong.

    I found this forum the most valuable thing when I was going throught a whole heap of problems.

    Take care and know that you are can still be a good person without being a JW!!!!

    Jehovah is not god's name.

    Jacqueline I'm glad to hear you did so well. I don't think that elders are all evil. Some are very decent people and that's part of the trap. It's the organization itself that I think is evil. They have twisted the truth around to suit thier own needs.

    Besides if Jehovah had an earthly organization wouldn't it get at least one prophecy right?

    Oh Jacqueline,

    I am so happy to hear you were able to hold your ground!

    I think everything should be ok since you were never a Baptized JW.

    You are so right about this board as opposed to being a JW.

    When I cam here I could not believe how many are so genuinely interested in me as opposed to the Fake interest at the KH.

    At The KH they are just trying to win postulants and once that is done they are no longer concerned about you as a person.

    In your case I think they didnt even wait for you to be baptized before showing their true colors.

    Glad you escaped The Borg.

    Glad you escaped the bullet, this time.

    Isn't it a shame that their answer to every problem is going out in service?
