  I need some help please! What are the questions for DF'ing

  by Gojira_101 in

  1. jw

  i know i have seen topics on here stating what the questions are for a jc meeting that the elders ask, but i can't find them.. can someone please tell me what those questions are or provide a link to the topic?.

  i know one of them is something like "do you believe that this is god's spirit directed organization?".

  {editted to add} if you are a suspected apostate what are the questions they ask you?.

  I faded seven years ago, no one has ever tried to bring me back, lost all friends in the "truth", daughter has not talked to me since March of 2009.

  So when you fade it's almost the same consequences or outcome but i feel i did it my way of leaving them and not them kicking me out.

  It was my choice to become a JW when i was 22 and after 32 years slaved to the watchtower it was my choice to walk away from them.

  Regained all my old friend from the "world" and made many more that are so much more honest and sincere than JW's.

  Mine was a successful fade and very happy to have it done this way.

  We do not know the details of your life, friends, family and so on so do not make any quick decisions, think before you act and things will turn out well for you.

  Good luck

  "do you believe that this is God's spirit directed organization?"

  Most likely you will get DF if you don't believe in the Gb being directed by Jehovah.

  If you don't want to get DF, deny everything and just express some doubts and that you're working thru them.

  Fade is always best in my opinion.

  i'm trying to figure it out.

  if we are just dead then there is no point to anything i do.

  i'd like to hope our energy goes somewhere... but, i'd like to examine what somebody presents as proof....

  Can anyone explain this reasoning?

  by Honesty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when a jw goes from door to door on a daily basis, they are called pioneers and it is a good thing.. it is an act of love when they share their knowledge with householders.. .

  however, if that pioneer learns more about the watchtower society's beliefs when compared with the bible and tries to share that knowledge with current members he is attacking his brothers and sisters and is mentally diseased.. when he shares his knowledge about the watchtower society's involvement with the un and other political entities with the brothers and sisters it is called an act of hate.. in both instances, we have similar actions and motivations but the watchtower society comes to completely different conclusions.. does it have anything to do with control or is it related to something else?.

  The watchtower is NEVER wrong. It's God's Organization.

  If you are not in it you belong to Satan's world.

  what if.... what if jehovah's witnesses spent their 70 million hours on something better than cartoon theology distribution?.

  would this world be better served by:.

  I have no respect for other religions but i have to say that Catholics and Mormons end evangelical christian are

  very organized and generous to assist those in need.

  Jw only take but hardly give anything to assist others.

  2. experiences

  6 months or so ago, me and my wife decided we will never set foot again in a kingdom hall.

  about 4 months earlier than that, i stumbled upon an article about the wts being associated with the un.

  that got me into finding out ttat eventually.

  Family is drawing the line in the sand

  by dissonance_resolved in

  2. friends

  so my family has obviously been noticing over the past several months that i've been missing meetings and fs.

  i've had excuses sometimes, but not others, so my parents are definitely getting that this is more than a long bout of illnesses or fatigue.

  i just received an email invitation to join them in service this weekend.

  Just tell them you just cannot go out there preaching, just having some doubts and until you resolve them you cannot preach.

  You would just be buying some time now but eventually like the rest of us you have to deal head on with your family.

  There is no nice or sweet way to handle it.

  Good luck and hope your family will be kind toward you.

  Should I just DA or get DFD?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my never-a-jw dad told me today that mongrel jws who turn on me were never truly my friends and i'm better off without them, so why worry if i get disfellowshiped?.

  i fear being disfellowshiped because my name will be dragged through the mud.

  i also think it might be a good idea to da or get dfd because then the link is broken and the fade is over.

  Why don't you just walk away and not DA or DF and spread the word that you do not want to meet or talk to any elder.

  From English congregation i switched to a Spanish congr. even though i could not speak Spanish, and after a few weeks i started missing meetings

  and had a beautiful fade. It's been 7 years,never been bothered since.

  No DA or DF.

  Just wondering...

  for those of you who are "out" forcibly ( disfellowshipped) or voluntarily ( dissasociated) is there anything.

  that you actually miss about the witnesses or meetings?.

  No...don't even miss many of the friends that i was close to.

  Anyone that you cannot share your doubts because they might stab you in the back and turn you in cannot be a true friend.
