My dad just came out... as one of the annointed
by Pwned ini know i don't post here that often but this just kind of blew me away.
my dad just "came out" recently as annointed and i find it so weird.
he's always been pretty level headed and he's been in for over 30 years.

Brave 8 y/o girl gets out of abusive marriage !
by Rabbit inwe read, write and shed tears over the plight of sexually abused girls & boys.
they suffer at the hands of not only authority figures like elders, priests, teachers, but also relatives and of course, strangers.. but, reading the following story is even, if possible, more chilling.
state sponsored child abuse!

How sick! And, heartbreakingly sad for this poor young girl. I just wonder where the logic is behind this "arrangement"?? Honestly, these people are SICK!

Long last letter to dad...please comment-not mailed yet
by dawg indad, .
i doubt youll even read this letter since it comes from your son, a son youve abandoned over your religious views, but i wanted to write you one final letter to see if theres any hope that you can come to your senses as far as this religion goes and we can renew our relationship.
im doing this because i care for you and mom deeply and feel very much distressed that you two refuse to see anyones opinion as being factual other than your own when it concerns the jw religion.

Dawg,
My heart aches for you...I feel your pain! I think it is so admirable that you keep trying the way you do to reach your Dad. It speaks volumes about your character, the kind of person you are.
Hopefully your message reaches him, and he really hears what you are trying to say to him.
Your Dad is a lucky man to have a son like you. In his heart he knows it but he is blinded by the religeon, its teachings and policies. My hope for you is that he realizes it before its too late.
All the best to you!

Were You Skeptical of "the Annointed Ones" in Your Congregation?
by BabaYaga insorry in advance to all of the ones on this forum now, who partook while jw.
i have to say that in my experience, having known personally several who were "of the annointed", most were absolutely dingy.
the only exception was the little ancient gal who had attended the early convention where all attendees were "annointed" en masse!

I went a stayed with a friend for a couple of months in Grande Prairie years ago, and in that hall there was a brother who claimed to be of the annointed. I really liked him, I thought he was a great person but there was something really off about him. Even then, I knew there was no way he could be.
I haven't heard anything about him for the past 13 or 14 years, but I'm willing to bet he is no longer even a witness. I mean, I was not a skeptical person about the annointed at this time in my life, but my gut just told me there was something off about him and I didn't believe he was (he didn't hand out used notepads or kleenex boxes or anything though ) I would love to find out what ever happened to him.

Knocking on the Doors of Classmates out in service
by new light incould anything have been more embarrassing?
you could be at the door of the least popular munger in school, but overwhelmed with envy because, hey, at least he was doing something normal.
in 8th grade, at the peak of childhood self-consciousness, i knocked on the door of a super popular, rich, "in" kid from my class and he answered the door.

Oh my goodness this thread brings back those dreaded feelings!
I was not popular in school for obvious reasons and I was so petrified of calling on someone I knew from school. When they came to the door I was constantly trying to act casual, like I enjoyed what I was doing. Holding my head up high b/c I was going to survive the great tribulation and they weren't...(this thought makes me sick to this day that we were actually taught we were better than everyone else!). People always asked me why I was dressed so weird.
And then coffee time was always such a big production. A whole group of similarily dressed people piling into McDonalds or some stupid coffee shop. People would just stare, trying not to of course in the event some over zealous person from our group struck up a conversation with them...then we could count our time...
Ugg.

Do you like yourslef?
by R.Crusoe ini find this question another i hate to think of!!.
i view myself through others which is a reality of zilch so it is bad karma for me to consider it!.
maybe its circumstantial of many life events but i'll bet exjws feel the power of the above dynamic as a negative force for humanitarian ectics and personal self worth!

I really do like myself most of the time, I'm a really good person who is loyal and has a good heart. But there are moments that I don't. I'm sure that is normal. I hope!
