  one last step..Is being mentally out the same as being emotionally out?

  by MissFit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we talk here about the importance of being mentally and physically out to be really free.. what about being emotionally free?.

  i realized for me, i had to be emotionally awake first.

  i had been yo-young back and forth for years.

  There are several congregations in my area.

  After tolerating the crazy personalities, cliques and internal power struggles, I eventually cycled through all of the local congregation over a period of 25 years.

  It got to the point where I was dragging myself to the meetings, hating everything about them, doing the pre-meeting greetings and token handshakes with people that pretend they are listening to you or remotely interested in what you are saying.

  Finally, I was either leaving early or immediately after the closing song/prayer on the verge of tears.

  My problem now is "how could I have not noticed" the FACT that I had been wasting my life.
  I find myself wondering how I believed the nonsense as truth and worried about the "authority" of the elders

  It is emotionally taxing when you have invested so much time with so many people and you are treated like you never existed to show for it.

  "Jesus has now been ruling for 100 years....."

  by EndofMysteries in

  2. beliefs

  that was the comment a family member made to me (one of those period comments trying to get you to come back, etc).

  they claim to be of the annointed.

  i replied, so does that mean there are only 900 years left of his reign?

  100 years of Jesus ruling over JW's.

  So cool.

  At least, that's what THEY think.

  Purging and letting go of the past

  by Skinnedsheep in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife and i decided that today would be the day that we would let go of the past.

  we collected all of our watchtower published books and brochures and threw them out.

  it was honestly bitter sweet to toss our old pioneer books, marked up insight books, and notes from 25 years of conventions.

  I have 25 years of memories, mostly.

  The lost years is where the pain is.

  Small library and a bunch of ties I wil rarely use.

  I had no idea it was going to be like starting a whole new life.

  Why I Refuse to Accept the term APOSTATE

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  been going back in forth with my mom (who is a longtime pioneer and dyed-in-the-wool jw) about the term apostate.

  she has labeled me one because of my fading and because i stopped attending meetings a few years ago.

  i told her that i refuse to accept the term apostate because its a lazy way for the wts to not deal with dissenters and address why people are leaving this organization in droves.

  I like reflecting on the fact that witnesses are thrilled if you openly become an apostate from your former church to join theirs...

  It's always entertaining when a questionable witness of many years suddenly get their act together and starts partaking.

  Then they become the subject of the local gossip. "Did you hear that so-and-so is partaking?"

  By far, the ultimate experience of one of the annointed goes like this:

  Man abandons his wife and three children, DF'd and goes on to live as a homosexual for 20 years.

  Comes back and is now partaking. So awesome!
