  one decision one day one event , today is the anniversary of the plunge that ruined my life .i was young and now i'm old and feel screwed over - ok my personal pity party is over if you made it this far thank you for just being out there.. now my fading update, no meetings for 3 weeks they don't know yet i'm not coming back but thanks to this site and many helpful youtube stories i have some tools to know how to play this game.

  because this is a fade i have not been able to tell my story but it really is unique ,i can say at this time there is no wife or kids involved but i do have siblings in this and my oldest brother is a super strict witness to the point of being a bully but thankfully most of my extended family are not j-dubs and that's what's going to help me get through this along with all of you .

  have a great day folks !.

  Update: Got my Judicial Committee cancelled

  original thread here.

  update: so, after the meeting i had with elders a few weeks ago as outlined in my original thread, they met as a body and once again called to tell me that after considering my case they still thought a judicial committee should be held against me and asked to be there "thursday at 7:30".

  all of this, i remind you, because of posting coc on facebook.

  The admonishment info in the flock book is available in WT's. Its not a secret. A little research in the WT library would have found the principals its based on. Turning the rules back at them is always brilliant, congrats Sanchy.

  Are JWs the most gossiping people on earth?

  by Londo111 in

  we all gossip.

  it is only human.

  watchtower actually tries to instruct adherents not to gossip and it can land a jw in front of a judicial committee—some do try to follow this admonition.

  Does it not dawn on the cart witnesses?

  i sat in town recently, right in the window of a nice wee pub.

  within minutes i realised that i had a perfect view of a jw cart and the two ridiculously dressed jw's (they have absolutely no individuality at all.

  what's more, they all look like they're going to a funeral).

  Saw a brother and two sisters sitting behind a table with the cart in front. Not one person was greeted with eye contact or a "hello". I refused to even acknowledge them. What a waste of skin.

  SONNET 121

  'Tis better to be vile, than vile esteemed,
  When not to be, receives reproach of being,
  And the just pleasure lost which is so deemed
  Not by our feeling, but by others' seeing:
  For why should others' false adulterate eyes
  Give salutation to my sportive blood?
  Or on my frailties why are frailer spies,
  Which in their wills count bad what I think good?
  No; -- I am that I am, and they that level
  At my abuses reckon up their own:
  I may be straight, though they themselves be bevel;
  By their rank thoughts my deeds must not be shown;
  Unless this general evil they maintain,
  All men are bad, and in their badness reign.

  Modern version below video.
  

  121

  It’s better to be vile than to have people think you’re vile, especially when they accuse you of being vile and you’re really not, and then you don’t even get to enjoy doing the thing that people say is vile but that you don’t think is. For why should people who are corrupt themselves get to wink knowingly at my lustful inclinations? And why should people who are even weaker than I pry into my weaknesses, deciding that what I think is good is bad? No, I am what I am, and the people who accuse me are only revealing their own corruptions. Maybe I’m straight, and they’re the ones who are crooked; you can’t measure my actions by their foul thoughts, unless they’re willing to believe that all men are bad and thrive in their badness.

  A wrestler feels most comfortable when he is being pinned. Don't give up the struggle, it will feel so good when you have control and are the one able to command your responses without guilt. Time will help, but more so the habit of thinking clearly. Dismiss the guilt and move on. With the passage of time and by surrounding yourself with non cult people you will heal.
