  The Rise of the Conscious Class

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "i believe in one god, and no more; and i hope for happiness beyond this life.

  i believe the equality of man, and i believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.

  but, lest it should be supposed that i believe many other things in addition to these, i shall, in the progress of this work, declare the things i do not believe, and my reasons for not believing them.

  2. friends

  i really can't stand it when i can't go to someones house just because they are "worldy".

  why can't i just be a normal teenager and be able to choose my friends whom ever they may be?

  i told my mom i don't have any witness friends then she told me "well you better find some or else your gonna have some serious problems".

  Alan_56, I sympathise with you. I really do. BUT I must humbly point out that you are living in your parent's house. Their house, their rules.
  I was stuck living in my 'rents basment for far longer than anyone would care for and if I didn't want to end up kicked out and on my ear, I had to play by their rules no matter how much I hated it.
  The point is: you don't get to make your own rules until you're living in your own place, paying your own way. Make plans to do that ASAP. Okay? Hang in there...

  Were you Stalked or Chased After Once you Exited the JW's by Elders ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i tried to fade off the map by moving 30 miles initially in 2004 after i exited in late 2003 .

  the first several years they didn't bother me.

  i ran into a elder from my former congregation in late 2005 in an antique store - he tried telling me i was wrong for stopping attending meetings.

  Scarred for life & flipper, thank you for your kind words.
  I'm not entirely certain if I'm really off my congo's radar. Why? Every few months my out of town mother (who is still in) comes to stay with me here in [not telling] so that she can see her sister (who's in a local nursing home), visit old friends and go to meetings/FS in my old congo. They all know her and me. My folks also own a rental property here too. I suppose that I'll only have peace if I move far away and don't permit JW family to visit. I've got some rebuilding to do yet before I'm ready to start dating anyway.

  Thanks for listening...

  I was never DF'ed, I wasn't abused, I never lost a loved one to the ban on blood

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  strange title, huh?.

  the point is that i wasn't "burned" in some incredible way by wts and i don't carry a huge chip on my shoulder from some incredible injustice from wts or the local elders.. i say this because some people have constantly accused me of being really screwed over by my experience because of my comments on others' threads.

  i explained myself there for my reasons, but wanted to repeat what those reasons are here in my own thread.. i explained on some post somewhere that i had felt that i experienced "divine intervention" in my life at one time and that same intervention ended my suicide attempt.

  I wasn't burned like so many of the others here but I'm dealing with the aftermath of just being a born-in. It was congregational apathy, rumors and whispers behind my back, the depression and paranoia it all created in my mind that drove me out. Not just in my home congo but a few others I've visited. No DF here, but I'm sure that If I fessed up to ANYTHING at all, even the smallest thing, I would have been rail-roaded, simply because I'm 'different'. Learning about the factual errors in the doctrine dogma and organizational corruption were just the cherries on top.

  I knew that already.

  Maybe there ARE a few of them on this board. There's at least a few folks here whom you can't identify as either male or female from ANY of their posts. That freaks me out too.
