I never did either and they never said anything to me. On dress and grooming, I wanted to come in unshaven and with my scuffed up dress shoes. They always have to say something positive.

Is new light coming again?
by justme67 ini just turned in my resignation letter to my congregation a few weeks ago.
last week, 2 elders called me to say they received my letter and would like to meet with me to discuss my concerns.
in my letter, i said i had found out about all the child abuse cases that were going on and that i didnt agree with their policy of disfellowshipping.

Ok, well thanks for your replies and I am definitely not going back. Hey Alphaman, I will be watching my back. Lol. Their one comment makes me think of the mob. (In godfathers voice) " Hey, you dont know what we know."

They said I would be interested to know about some changes that were about to take place. One elder said to me a few times, "if you knew what we know, you wouldnt want to leave." I told them thanks, but no thanks. It must be something to do with the 2 subjects I brought up. Does anyone know about this? They announce my name this thursday night. I have no familyIin and I have been a witness 6 years. 3 here in Indy and 3 in Florida. Thanks.

HELP needed for a friend, please. Anyone?..
by defender of truth ina friend of mine (who has recently started reading jwn) is having trouble eating and sleeping because, even after having recently woken up to ttatt.. they are still concerned about 'demons, everlasting destruction, and jehovahs disapproval'.. i've tried to encourage them.
i'm sure you all understand that these things can take time, the transition period is often painful, to some extent.
i'm still struggling with anger and depression myself.. i'll be away from jwn, off the internet, and thus out of contact with them for a while (don't ask why)... so please don't expect me to reply to or even look at what you post, .

There are so many things that show the jw organization is not God inspired. The thing that got me researching is when I found out an elder had to have a background check run on him before he could pick up members of the gb at the airport. That doesnt sound very loving. They dont trust their own people. Then I found jwfacts.com and I looked up all kinds of documentation that proved they were not from God. Just please dont let this organization drive you away from God. You can still have a relationship with him without any group or church.

Hi Lenna B. I sent my congregation a resignation letter about a week ago. I told them I have learned about all the child abuse cases, many involving elders, and that I didnt agree with disfellowshipping. 2 elders called me today, wanting me to meet with them. They said there was something new about to be implemented in the organization and it deals with one of my concerns. They said if I knew what they knew I would want to stay. I told them that I didnt believe the organization was Gods mouthpiece and I couldnt stay and pretend I did. I am going to worship God and Jesus on my own without any organization or group. Good luck with whatever you decide. Make sure its a choice that you can live with and be proud of. I hope this organization doesnt hurt your relationship with God. It seems like it has with a lot of people.

If you don't believe in God, Jesus, and everything in the Bible, you are willfully ignorant.

"i absolutely 100% believe in god, jesus christ and everything recorded in the bible.. the reason why is because of the overwhelming amount of evidence.. there is so much evidence that it has taken me years to examine what has cemented my own convictions.".

Hey, its not cool saying people are ignorant if they dont believe. Thats up to each and every individual. I quit believing in the wts organization but I didnt let them ruin my relationship with God or Jesus. others lost their faith because of this organization. But you cant be namecalling to get people to believe.

Your "Things That Make You Go Hmmm?" List
by FlyingHighNow ini'll wager that the number is close to 100 percent.
what number?
the number of jws who have lists--lists of things that make them go hmmm or even wha'???
-
justme67
I think for me it was DFing. They always said not to speak to them so they would want to come back. If thats the case, then they are only coming back because they are lonely and want their family and friends back. Not for their love of God. The organization doesnt care why they come back, just as long as they can raise those numbers.

Thank you very much for your replies. I really feel like my eyes were opened up and I am seeing things the way they really are. I am thinking of writing a resignation letter and making it official. For supposedly being the happiest people on earth, I know a lot of depressed people at the kh. I will keep coming by here. I am enjoying reading all the different posts.

Hi. I am 46 and have been a jw for only 6 years. I was doing ok until about a month ago. We were having an international convention and I heard the brother that had to pick up 2 of the members of the governing body had to get a background check done on him and his wife. His wife was the one that mentioned this, in a car group, out in service. What kind of love is that. At home, I started looking up things online about the gb and other things. I also found this site and jwfacts. Now I see why they say dont look us up on the internet. I should have done this 6 years ago. Luckily, I have no other family in there. I was looking for advice on how is the best way to break away. I know they wont speak to me after, but most hardly do anyway, away from the hall. I guess being a single brother and kind of new. One other thing that got me mad. At our Thursday night meeting, a brother was doing a part about kids going back to school. He said jw kids only encounter refuse there. Refuse meaning garbage or worthless things. I have neices and nephews in school. I definitely didnt like that comment. Thanks for listening.
