  Seeing old watchtower aquantances

  by jacethespace in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i havent posted here for quite a while,since jwd changed websites in fact, but had to relate this.. a few days ago i bumped into some of my local congregation members i havent saw for quite a while.and said hello to the guy i knew and chatted with him while his wife was in the local store.first thing i noticed was the attitude that i had gotten away from and in fact was one of the reasons why i decided to leave.he told me that the org was moving forward and guiding them better than ever and said that it would be better if i didnt come back because i wouldnt beable to keep up with the progress of the org.although he said he didnt want me to go down with the world.his arrogance was just wrong.i told him the bible says that every man will be found a liar and he said it depends how you interpret it.his wife came out the shop and was much more pleasant and then another member i hadnt saw for a while came over to them [ i think they had been out on a boasting session] and i said hello.however she said hi but practically ignored me.the whole experience was just so sureall that i couldnt help but think that it encourages people not to listen to them and left quite angry.baring in mind i live next door to an elder and see him often.some seem to look down on you when you stop going and others just dont bother talking to you as i they are above everyone else.. jacethespace.

  Questions about video/audio recording of meetings

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking it might be beneficial for people who are facing disfellowshipping or disassociation to get some kind of recording of the announcement that they are no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.

  it could possibly be used as evidence in a lawsuit.

  (i know that's next to impossible in the current legal climate, but that could change in the future.

  by BonaFide in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have spent literally hundreds of hours discussing with the c.o.

  or other elders how some of us elders disagreed with a certain elders' actions and what could be done about it.

  or that a certain elder was doing a certain thing, or acting a certain way.

  How many lives have been RUINED by the Organization? Experiences?

  by BonaFide in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that some people deserve to be excommunicated, such as pedophiles.

  but what about the tens of thousands of others that have their life wrenched out from under them by being disfellowshipped?.

  and what about those that have a family member that died because of not receiving a blood transfusion?

  "Unconditional love"...is there such a thing?...i am not sure........

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that phrase is on this site a lot....and although i have been judged a bit by my old friends......i also do not think i can have friends without conditions......like if i had a friend.....and found out he was beating or abusing his wife.....esp if she was also a friend....that would be a "condition" where he would no longer be my friend....so what does it mean...what about you?....oompa.
