the irony is that my whole life i was taught that those who spent a lifetime believing in the "truth" would appreciate being in the organization even though some would come into the "truth" just before armageddon!

i never could figure that out.

after just becoming a member of the jwd, when the "end came",i now know what they meant!

Do You Clearly Understand That "The Truth" Is Nothing But Bullcrap?

by minimus in

what a waste of living being "in the truth" was!

sometimes i see persons suggesting that the witness religion isn't all so wrong.

actually they suggest that they themselves are the issue.

some doctors will administer a blood transfusion one day to save a life ....

and perform an abortion the next day killing one.

is this hypocrisy..or is this performing medical procedures for people who want them.

i guess it depends on who you are and what your medical situation is.

certainly a girl who wishes an abortion and then starts hemorrhaging will be glad he can do both..as will those she is close to.

if a doctor chooses to do this..or if i do...or if i choose to build a hospital and an abortion centre and a kingdom hall...because this gives me the satisfying life i enjoy....then it is none of your goddamn business

My theory about the behavior and obsession of some ex-JWs

by Simon in

jw

i've had this theory for some time and alluded to it occassionally but have never explored it in detail.. it is of course a huge generalisation so no, not everyone will fit into the boxes and i'd like people's opinion.

i don't know everyone's circumstances so it's based on a small sample of some of those i do know something about.

it could be completely wrong, it's just an idea.. basically, i have seen a difference between some of those ex-jws who walked out vs those who were kicked out.. the most bitter and obsessive seem to be the kicked out and, i must add, those who were legitimately kicked out.

this is the rule......no repentant person will be disfellowshipped..(regardless of their 'sin')

this is the fact........repentant people are disfellowshipped.

i know... i was that soldier....i was wrong ..what i did was despicable and broke the organizational rules. i was so ashamed that i did not fight being disfellowshipped.

but subsequently i realised that i was not a wanton willful wrongdoer. and i then realised that the treatment i received was not godly or christlike or biblical .OR EVEN ORGANIZATIONAL - ACCORDING TO THEIR RULES... and worst of all it wasnt humane.

i have tried not to be bitter...which is hard when you are alone bewildered hurt and desperate. i have since helped others in similar situations who needed support when they were df-ed or who came to me for help to stop them being df-ed (i told them to lie lie lie - and it worked).

i have defended the wt organization on certain things and individual jws on other things in the same way as i would defend other individuals and organizations even tho i have no wish to be associated with them.

i have met other x jws that i have liked..and some that i have not (the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend).

i have no interest in what people choose to believe if it works for them. i have no interest in trying to get my family out. i would even go back if i were to marry a jw and she wanted me to..even as i would go to other things that she was interested in because i loved her

but i wouldnt believe it (which would be fun i think)

and i still believe in a creator tho i dont care that i do.

and the only people i hate are the 2 members of the commitee who refused to reinstate me for so long....and irony of ironies i find myself hoping for some kind of god given recompence for them from an organization that i no longer consider to be directed by god. and that messes with my head from time to time.
