DF'ed and Confused...

by Stumbeline in

so i think the title pretty much says it all.

i have a tendancy to be long winded about things, so i'll just give a general introduction and maybe tell things as i go along.

i don't even really know what i want from this site (ironically i remember jehovahs-witness.net mentioned from the platform as a site not to go to).

Stumble a huge welcome to you, your story

has a common thread. You are not alone for

sure ... hundreds of thousands of jw's leave

WT because of failed doctrine, stumbling over the way

they are treated, blood issue and the horrid DFing

and shunning!

You feel so alone ...because that is the way the WT

has designed their 'punishment'.

Try to be very kind and understanding to your Mom.

She does not want to lose you. Hang around and keep

posting ....this site, JWfacts, Jwstruggle, JW survey will

all help you to get a grasp on what is really going on.

Best wishes to you

New field service rules coming this summer

by doinmypart in

new guidelines for field service coming this summer.

new publication to be released giving new ways of counting time, conducting studies, group activities, etc..

clarity

All I know for sure, is that the dubs care how

they measure-up in their friends eyes.

I've heard a lot of them say........

"Even if they (organization) are wrong, I would

never leave ........I love all the brothers!"

*

When I joined this outfit ....our names, & the hours,

placements & studies, were posted on a hugely

conspicuous bulletin board at back of the hall.....

geeze you could see this thing 40 paces away!!!

I found this to be the choke-hold to force participation.

In fact, I never realized until looking at that list, that I

was now obligated to keep up with the norm...or else be

hated by 'the friends'

Maybe the list is coming back.

a couple of paradise earth questions: .

1) if you are a married, baptized witness couple (both people being baptized) and armageddon arrives, will the couple still be married on paradise earthtm?

2) if you are married to an unbelieving mate (ubm) and armageddon arrives, will the witness be free to remarry on paradise earth?.

i have been posting into the forum since 2001(my previous avatar was "justhuman" and when forum changed to net, i couldn't retrieve my old avatar so i had to use a similar one and log in again).

almost 15 years are gone.

made some friends here, including mr flipper and one that i really miss dearly is oompa.

clarity

JustHuman ...with you in spirit & feeling sad, not

for your 'graduation' but for the way you were

stripped of so much ...as most ex's have been.

Sorry for your lonliness & pain ... caused only

by a deceptive cult ...it was not necessary at all.

They say "oh no we don't shun, we love everyone"

We know better don't we!

I wish you so many great things for your life,

you deserved much better. Be happy now & plse

come back and tell us how you are.

some guys visited me a couple of times, and i asked them about the book of revelation.

one of them brought me a red book with a lot of illustrations and at the end of every page or so the guy had dated the day he had read it.

he also marked certain passages.
