  My First post

  i have been lurking on this site for 3 years and this is my fist post.

  i would like to thank everyone for helping me wake up.

  i was baptized at 24, married at 25, ms for 18 years mentally in for 24 years but started to wake up 3 years ago doing research to give public talks, and the actions of arrogant and narcissistic brothers and sisters did not help.

  Sometime waking up to TTAT feels like realizing you are not in a communal shower but a gas chamber! The reality is that you are now outside the gas chamber and you now know YOUR LOVED ONES are still in it which has its own set of anxieties. Take a breath. Relax. I don't know how much of your letter is fiction, meaning all the symptoms, depression etc as part of the fade. Carry on and you will be fine. Many here have had to sail similarly treacherous waters.

  i heard from the semi reliable source that the pioneer schools will go the way of the dodo bird next year.. i could see this happening.

  it used to be that you went to the the pioneer school once.

  then they allowed dubs to go every 5 years.

  At Pioneer school I asked a question that helped me see how bogus preaching was. I asked, "If Jehovah is drawing people to the Truth, and ONLY honest hearted ones are drawn by his spirit touching their heart, what percentage of success is from our teaching ability?" In other words we can't convince anyone because Jehovah has to open their heart so what's the point of busting our ass here for two weeks? The CO/teacher said, "I shudder to think of that".

  How do you tell your spouse you no longer believe in God?

  so i was hoping to get some insight on this subject of telling your spouse that you no longer believe in god.

  for two people who have been jehovahs witnesses for 20 years together, talking about this seems to be real hard for me.

  i still pray with my wife before meals but that's about it.

  What would happen?

  if i asked the elders if i could see or have any secret files they have on my wife?

  does the headship of the house or marriage trump their kangaroo court or do they think they secret police or something.

  either way, it pisses me off..

  Not authorized, sorry. As head you should already be informed unless you are not a witness and then you are ass out. Not much difference there honestly.

  We thought his records were hilarious, "Chicken Heart" etc. Then we outgrew him. He always came across as a know it all and someone who seemed entitled. Right back at you Cos! Too rich to do time unless they ALL charge him and he goes totally broke trying to plug the holes in the dam.

  Elders, oh my God what a bunch of losers!

  by Crazyguy in

  2. beliefs

  ok i don't mean to put all of them into just one box so to speak, their are some that are smart successful etc.

  but my god most of them are just wasted space, ignorant, no drive, horrible jobs, make nothing for income and the only thing in life they have going for them is this title.

  no wonder so many will not wake up and hold on to this stupid cult, it's all they have.

  Hence the user name, WAS AN ELDER. That never was me. I wanted to do what is right and for that I was hated. Its ironic really.

  Invited someone who was so sweet and such a great friend in the congregation once. She was excited to come play and have lunch with us. When she got there she said, "Oh, I play this game with my grandchildren." She clearly felt it was beneath her and we never heard from her again. lol Gotta keep that in mind. Go game night!
