  Watchtower organization can change anything now,

  and not many even notice. 3 main reasons why ...>

  *

  1. Jehovah's witnesses in general, really don't care

  what the 'flavour of the day' is! "Even if they are wrong".

  2. For the most part, the old timers have died off, or

  are soon gone! Ex jws like me, do remember & do

  care! They can hardly wait until we all disappear!

  3. My grandchildren, who are the recipients of this

  newlite ....have no idea about 1914, 1918, 1919,

  1975, Beth Sarim/Beth/Shan, drunken Rutherford

  who banned all holidays to keep family members

  separated etc ....they really have no idea. They

  only see the social aspect...instant friends who

  are commanded to love you...lots of them!

  Service is fun now 'cause you get to be with

  your friends ......persecution, tar & feathering,

  thrown in jail ...hhhhmm never heard of that!

  *

  Oh yeah, they are laughing at us. With every

  new trick they pull ...they are laughing!

  Because KH witnesses don't care & don't want

  to think!

  My Experience and how I finally let myself see the truth

  by OneEyedJoe in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  first off - for those lurkers who feel guilty just for being on this site and reading this (even if you don't read any further, as it is your right to choose that course) i want you to know that you're not alone in what you're going through or in what you are feeling.

  if you read on, i hope my experience may be of some small help to you.. this may be long, but i'll try to organize it in a way that doesn't make it painful to read.

  to start, i feel it is most beneficial if i'm upfront and honest with my goals from posting this, which are (in order of the degree to which they motivated me):.

  Putting on the NEW "New Personality"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we have often heard about the need to "put on the 'new personality'" as a jw.... but i have realised something in these last few years of awakening to the ttatt...i dont like what i had become as a 'good' jw!.

  i realised that being a 'good' jw made me very:.

  critical of my fellow man,.

  JW Witnessing Trolleys. To approach or ignore what is your preference and why?

  by KateWild in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i saw two brothers this morning next to the main train station in liverpool city centre this morning.

  they were not actively approaching anyone.

  what i found strange was that they were from a cong that has different territory, so i don't know why they were there.. anyway i knew them both, and they know i was df'd, i was in my car and couldn't park up for a chat, but i did beep and wave to them as i drove passed and they waved back.

  Omg I am 'praying' to bump into one of these!

  Saw one in the city as I drove past, but couldn't

  find a parking spot. It wasn't a standard trolley,

  just some old jw on a 4 wheel scooter that he

  had rigged with a little rack for magazines.

  He was sitting on it ....parked on the sidewalk! lol

  What do you do when your job makes you wanna puke your face off?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm talking like makes you physically sick and emotionally frazzled just thinking about it.

  i'm talking like you hate it to the point you'd rather go without than work at it just for the money.

  you'd live on cheap korean packet noodles for the next year instead of exchanging your labor for this job's money.. well, this is how i feel about teaching and tutoring.

  Julia ... have you defined exactly what it is...

  that you don't like about teaching?

  *

  Hate the hours, you hate kids, hate getting up in

  the morning, the paper work, the union....what?

  *

  To me, work is pretty "life & death", something that

  is a need...not necessarily a want.

  If you really have to work & there is nothing else

  right now....then maybe start viewing the job in a

  different light! And yes...I have puked my face off.

  my wife and i have two wonderful children aged 1 and 3. i was raised as a lutheran but stopped believing in my late teen years.

  my wife is what i would call a liberal jw (yes, i believe such people exist .

  sooner or later our children will have questions about religion and the differences mom and dad show towards it.

  Yes, I see you shunning me!

  by Blackbird Fly in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  even tho i grew up in the org, so much that once seemed normal behavior now seems so bizarre and even cruel.

  i have run into at least 3 people from our old cong since the memorial (i didnt attend) anyhow i have noticed how each time they go out of their way to say hello and flash me a big bright smile, only to immediately avert their eyes and end any possible commitment to a conversation.

  i dont really care as i dont have anything to say to them anyhow.

  Bumped into a pioneer who I had known for 35 yrs.

  She pointed her finger at me as she circled around

  me in the store, sniggering all the while ...

  omg all I could do, was stand there with my mouth

  dropped open at her stupidity!!!

  *

  She has pioneered much of her life, never married or

  had children or her own home! Wears the same plain

  boyish clothes she wore in her 20's.

  I really fear for her if she ever sees the real truth

  & what she has missed!
