  I miss my family so much. I thought I was over it but I have breakdowns every few months thinking about my family

  by macys in

  as most of you know i have been shunned by my family for 2 years because of a photo posted on facebook of me kissing another girl at a party.

  the matter was not dealt with fairly but it is over now and i am 100% certain that jdub org is a cult.

  but i miss my family so much.

  Do not ever go back.

  Not worth it. Make new friends that will treat you like family.

  Chances are, in my opinion, the religion will fold or there will be a mass awakening.
  I firmly believe this. After the lawsuits start piling up and payments are expected it will nearly impossible to keep it quiet. I think it will become too embarrassing to remain a JW in today's world.

  Stand your ground. Changing your beliefs, pretending theirs is true or attending the meetings for the sake of those that treat you cruelly because someone else told them to shun you is not a good enough reason.

  I'm actually quite glad to be rid of these people, now that some time has passed. ( 2.5 years since exit, DF'd since Sept 10th this year )

  Farewell

  "don't be dismayed by good-byes.

  a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.

  and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

  Disfellowshipping Sounds Wonderful to Me Now

  by xjwsrock in

  2. beliefs

  2 people were read out last week as disfellowshipped.

  of course now the announcement is read "so and so is no longer one of jehovahs witnesses".

  they read that statement twice, once for each of the names.

  Being DF'd is actually pretty good.

  I really enjoy my freedom. I don't have to answer to anyone anymore.
  No more privileges, either.

  No more wasted time chasing "everlasting life".

  One of my favorites is no longer feeling guilty.

  About 'Regular' Pioneers

  by Gayle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now that district overseers have been deleted, now that bethelites are being devalued and increasingly dismissed, now that special pioneers are being deleted in u.s., and maybe elsewhere gradually.

  who would have ever thought?.

  yet, now what is the value to be a regular pioneer to the org?

  Imagine all of these regular pioneers being "promoted" by Jehovah to the top level of service overnight. "What a blessing "...

  Handing out candy

  by mikeypants in

  2. experiences

  growing up my parents would barricade our home off by parking vehicles bumper to bumper - you would have to crawl under the cars or over the bumpers to get to our door.

  also, we would turn off all the lights and hide in the back room away from the street.. that was the norm for me.

  isnt that insane?

  We would put up a sign on the street and a sign on the door that said:
  
  "No Halloween here"

  Most would not make it to the door. The few that knocked, we ignored.

  It's the "abyss" that Satan and the demons will be tossed into.

  Keep an eye on this one!

  Taking bets on how long this cult will last and what will happen to it

  by macys in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wanna make a poll here.

  how many years do you think the jdub cult will exist as is and what will happen to it?.

  i say the growth stops this year and starts to decline.

  All previous "big deals" did not have the power of the internet behind them and all the JWs "green lighted" to use the internet. ( at the meetings, even )

  Curiosity killed the cat and all that.
  I really need to place some JWFACTS signs here and there...

  Congrats on your success. Many of us are reporting similar results.
  I've lost 75 pounds and have much better organized my home and belongings.

  I have an endless line up of projects and interests as well.
  It's amazing how much time we have when the end isn't coming tomorrow...

  Life is better on the outside.
  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
