  Would You Stay As A Witness, Even Though You Knew It Wasn't "The Truth"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when a witness starts thinking, there comes a time when decisions have to be made.

  when you know that their bible chronolgy is unsupported or that the revelation climax book is absurd, it begins the process of 'what are you going to do now?

  '......what could get you motivated is the realization that "love" is not the hallmark of this organization.

  But I figure it is like straddling a picket fence that keeps getting taller every day. Eventually, you have to pick one side or the other.

  Very true comment. Sitting on that picket fence can hurt you too In the end you do have to choose. The hardest decision is if you have friends and relatives still in the truth? A natural thing is to balance their "needs" against your needs. With my case my needs won out and it hurt a number of people when I made my decision to get out. I do not regret my decision but I can understand why some may wish to stay in based on family and friends. I am neither DA'ed or DF'ed but I might as well be to some people.

  I know some "heavies" and the only reason they stay R&F is because of finances!

  They have no marketable skills or real education (Awake reading don't count in the real world). It's scary to be 40 or 50 or older and be all on your own with nothing and nowhere to go in the big old evil "world" that you're convinced is full of deemunz outta getcha!

  I know a few "heavies" myself and they are in their 50's.They have never had a REAL JOB in their life and no skills except high school and the "awake" education.They are taken care of and although they don't lead a affluent lifestyle they don't have to wonder where their next meal is coming from.

  I also know that some rich brothers in the congregations have slipped money at them to have "treats" such as mexican holidays. If people like these left"the truth" they would be on welfare or having a poor job to live on.

  i remember the elders telling us that we had to let everyone know that we were a jw.

  does your boss know that you're a jw?

  does your teacher know?

  I was really gung ho to start with but as the years went by I hid it more and more. I think on a subconcious level I was starting to realize what a crock of s*it the whole thing was. I sure don't want to admit to anyone even now that I used to believe that stuff.

  U/D....this is like our own private chat.

  Well ...I hate to come in on private chat..BUT how much power does that declaration hold in real life? Is it just a PR thing or are main stream muslims starting to turn against the radicals??

  my partner and i are looking into the dallas area to relocate once our house sells here in dayton.

  the climate seems to be reasonable, the job market seems to be good, and the area appears nice and friendly.

  valis has graciously given me pointers on which areas are good, and has given me a heads up on dallas.

  Sometimes I wish I was down there too...In stead I live in the cold country to the north of you

  Wishing you the best....
