  As A Witness Did You Typically Feel Guilty?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe the way the organization keeps many people in its clutches is by means of guilt.

  no one can adhere to all of the theocratic rules of the organization and they know that.

  i believe jws do things to ease their consciences.

  so one of the elders called asking for my time.

  i lied, somewhat.

  yes i did talk to people about the "truth" but not in favourable terms.. has anyone simply stated, "i have not been in service this month"?

  What keeps most members in the ''spiritual netting'' of the WTS?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  birds or any other animal can be caught with a net.

  they don't have the wisdom to see what's coming.. what does the wts use that is so powerful that most members can't seem to escape?

  what makes them so powerful that they can have so much effect on everyone of us?.

  Were YOU a JW Who Was Always Afraid, Depressed or Ill?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while i was an elder (in 2 congregations), over the years, i saw most witnesses that suffered from s o m e t h i n g.. either a witness had chronic depression, mysterious ailments that were never clearly diagnosed by a doctor, or were in fear.

  afraid to offend another brother's conscience.,afraid to upset the elders.

  afraid to grieve the holy spirit.

  To those still "active", what makes you keep going to meetings?

  by Cindi_67 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been reading a lot of posts and a lot of you here on the board, are "active" members, attend all meetings and conventions, go out in field service, even help with quick builds.

  i don't want this to sound like i am disrespecting anybody, but what makes you lead a double life?

  doesn't anybody at the hall notice your lack of interest?

  Not preaching semi okay?

  by techdotcom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i havn't gone out in field service in something like 10 years.

  doesn't it seem wierd that for a religion and organization that stresses the importance of 'preaching the good news', that not doing so seems so low on the discipline list?

  seriously you can miss a couple of meetings and someone will probably feel you out to see if something (spirital or physical) is wrong.
