I could be mistaken, but is there perhaps a language barrier?
Perhaps Eliabe is trying to say,"Could anyone help me?" Just a thought.
Sorry, Eliabe, I don't know of that document, but you're in the right place if you have questions about the JWs!

Are JW's really hated?
by lfcviking injesus words: .
"the world will hate you just like it has hated me".
the jw's think this passage of scripture spoken by jesus applies to them in this present day.

Yup, Mr. flipper, it's like self-fulfilling prophecy, in a way. That's how it was when I was a wee young'un, anyway.
But I still don't think everyone hates them the way they believe they're hated, do you?
Their obnoxious behavior and attitudes do make a lot of people want to run away.
I think quite a few truly "spiritual" or ethical people really find themselves unable to hate them.

Maybe it depends on the political regimes the JWs confront, plus their own built-in paranoia. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, esp. if you're born-in.
I don't think all people hate the JWs; it's just that they (the JWs) believe it; so, if you point out failed prophecies or issues like pedophilia, they assume it's hate speech or hate mail, when all you're trying to do is tell them the real truth.
It's a pisser. No. Not everybody hates them; a lot of us feel sorry for them, even though we're mad about how we've been treated by them. Anger isn't the same as hatred.
And information isn't hate mail. But people with a persecution complex will call education about their cult "propaganda" or hate.
Edited to say: I think that's the reason I've just about given up on my JW family. I feel like a tear.
Anyway, I was brought up with the same persecution complex issues, too. It simply translated into intense social anxiety and major trust issues as an adult, even though I don't buy any of the Craptower ideas. I still struggle to feel safe with others period. No, I don't believe everybody hates me; it just feels that way sometimes.

Hi cloudblue and welcome. I'm a little confused. Are you josh or cloudblue? Anyway, welcome and congratulations to everybody who's out. It's a good thing. Sorry you're feeling so conflicted about it, though. I hope things improve for you.

Have you changed your mind about ABORTION?
by nicolaou ini'm not after a discussion on the rights or wrongs on abortion, what i'm asking is whether or not your views have evolved over time.. perhaps leaving the watchtower was enough to allow your true feelings on abortion to find expression.
maybe abortion is one of those subjects where you still find yourself in agreement with your old jw self.
did becoming a mother change your perspective in any way or solidify your views?.

Better to have 7 or 8 abortions than to have 7 or 8 unwanted children. If one is too impaired developmentally, emotionally, or financially to find an easier method of birth control 7 or 8 times (in a western country where other methods of contraception are more readily available), I don't want to imagine the lives of the children that would have come from that person.

Thanks, Eryn. There are a lot of people going through a lot of stuff here. You are very thoughtful to take time to post for them, considering all that you are going through yourself.
