  Well I have a choice to make

  the elders came today without any notice and visited with me.

  they told me that my mother in law said i didn't want to have anything to do with the witnesses anymore.

  i said yes i did say that and then i laid it all out for them why i felt that jehovah god wasn't with them.

  I agree with Black Sheep. I wouldn't give them a letter. Let them do what they want...like spit into the wind. They had NO power unless YOU give it to them. Hopefully the younger guy will let your info sound down and he will begin to think and reason. I just walked away,, I never sent a letter, I put a 6ft chain link fence around my property with a lock. My friends call it my "witness protection program" (actually the fence was to protect my pets). I added this sign that is a copy of a used target practice that says, Nothing in this house is worth dying for. The last time and elder came by I did talk to him. I gave him several reasons why I felt the jws. He returned and sat out in his Humvee flashing his lights into my house. I just had a drink. He put a note on my fence. He wrote "I've been thinking about what you said all week. Carl" If he started to climb the fence it would have freaked me out. Thankfully he didn't. He actually is a very good man but he has a dominent wife and a really crazy daughter (in her 40or 50s) living with him. He can't get out.

  You don't have to please them or do anything for them. Just blow them off as they have you.

  Christian Pastor claims "sex demons" made him molest girl....are you sick of "the Devil made me do it?"

  by Witness 007 in

  this born again minister met up with a teenage girl in the congregation, gave her some alcoholic drinks then raped her...he then beat her and set her on fire to cover his crime, but she survived horribly disfigured.

  during the police interview he claimed he was "under the influence of sex demons.".

  i'm so over dumb ass christians putting the blame on satan for there crimes...is this the 1500 century or what?.

  I've stopped my bible study but....

  by PenelopePaige in

  the lady i studied with asked if it would be okay if she still brought the magazines by.

  i said of course because i do love the awake and watchtower.

  well, when she came by last week, she gave me the mags and then as we stood around chit-chatting, i realized we were basically still having the study, only we were standing up instead of sitting in the living room.

  Okay, if she contnues to come over you are really going to build resentment and perhaps "overdo" the breakup. You might try to tell her that you like a few things in the magazines but overall you really don't agree with the dogma. You may trust "God" implicitly but there are too many intermediaries in the org between you and God. This is nothing to do with what a good person she is but you would appreciate that she not return again if she is going to discuss her religion.

  You are in a delimma because you are really nice....she is really nice....however, she is not respecting your boundries (not nice) and by doing so is pressuring you (not nice) because JWs are really good at making people feel guilty. If you cannot say this to her. Write a little note, put it in an envelope and give it to her, refuse the mags, tell her to have a nice life and quietly close the door. Then go have a drink.

  hi, long time no see.

  i am finally out of the borg.

  had a talk with an elder-friend-family member today who said i should just do it if that's what i want to do, and my wife says if that's what i want to do that she's fine with it.

  Wow! That is great. How long did your process take? I left....dissappeared quickly. But once in a while I would attend some meeting at another hall. Every time pushed me farther away. I went to the memorials for my mom but I realized that it was such a waste of time and giving my mom false hope.

  Kaballah - Is it a religion, a cult, a philosophy or what?

  by freetosee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend of mine says kabbalah is not religious, but rather a scientific approach to matters.

  i me it seems to have strong religious characteristics and the people i have meat seem very cultic.

  i must admit that i have not looked deeply into kabbalistic teachings.. what is your assessment?.

  God exists? God doesn't? God is a different concept? Convince me!

  by punkofnice in

  2. beliefs

  i am in a spiritual void at the moment after a year out of the borg and 50 years in.. i'd like to hear 'brief' evidence for the existance or non existance of god/s without an argument between members here.. i'd like to get fresh view points as mine is now so critical it's telling me to be an agnostic or atheist.

  why?

  i am in want of evidence, not just words from a copy/paste troll & no links.. i just want to open up to new possibilities but with evidence to support it not just 'faith'..

  Does anyone recognize this ex-JW testimony from WNFJ convention?

  by peace_lily in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm trying to find the testimony of a lady who spoke years ago at the witness now for jesus convention (i believe in pennsylvania).

  she mentioned that her husband (i assume not a witness) came out as a homosexual during the years the org did not consider such to be grounds for divorce.

  the elders advised her she didn't have grounds for divorce.

  I don't know about this woman but my story is the same as hers except when The Committee asked my husband "was there something your wife would or wouldn't do that caused you to turn to men" was my personal evacuation.

  Since You've Left The Organization Have You Turned Into A "Bad" Boy or Girl?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  the witnesses say that if you leave the religion you will become a very vile person.

  you will probably get vd.

  you will get into drugs and booze, your life will go to hell.. personally, i've been pretty much the same guy although i would now be viewed as a "fornicator".
