Survival of the Great Tribulation Depends on Observing Family Worship.

by compound complex in

greetings fellow jwners:.

it was stated at sunday meeting that, according to the governing body, a jehovah's witness' survival of the gt hinges upon his participating in family worship night.

have you read or heard this?

Has anyone Ever Told those Elders off Over their abuses of People?

How far are you on your journey away from the JW Org?

by punkofnice in

i mentally left the org in march 2010. i stepped down as an elder after my lad got into trouble.

i researched the publications to make myself 'spiritually strong' but it backfired.. i was in mental and emotional turmoil, still on fs, the platform and meetings etc.

i had to force myself to conform to ever failing jw doctrine.. i announced to my family that i was not going back to meetings in august 2010 after the 'overlapping' joke of 'new light'.. i told the elders not to call.

i did not proof read that at all sorry. read it slow and it might make sence.

I'm very close in time frame out and how far out . and i still believe in god . although no wife or daughter in it. to set the stage i am a single dad with sole custody. that being said my son's maternal great grandma and great great grandma are my child care providers main ones.they wont take my son to his karate class i had him in i get that. but also it makes things a struggle i "cant mention my thoughts or beliefs to them but they can constantly mention their gobble dee guk.we are still sacrificing for their beliefs.i had been the circuit scape goat since a teenager i could never escape a reputation that proceeded me and very much exceeded my own prowess.my stepmother made an example of me immediately when my dad married her my dad had a touching problem to put it mildly and she has 3 daughters before they married and wouldnt you know any thing my dad did she took out on me meanwhile loved him.i grew up knowing i would never measure up to anyone nor would i qualify nor would i be worthy. at one point when i was 16 i seemed on track to do something in the borg. at 18 i was following in my older bro's steps and pioneering maybe could have made bethel.all my dub peers were getting away with aot i didnt get involved nor would they include me. i got dissolusioned went to canada with step grandma reported my parents for abuse and from then on labelled came back home to nothing had to move out with nothing. no skills no money no job nothing meanwhile i was the evil one. i believed that for years those peers had since got married and were reporting time and i was still not intheir club.i would remain in and out for years dabbled in drugs and 2 failed marriages later i made a return got my df'ing was reinstated after a year or so dont exactly remember over a year and tried to be one a good 5 years i work in the refrigeration field in the hottest state in the us so it keeps me busy and led to times of missing meetings in the summer. maybe that was part but i was still never accepted. i never could do enough and after years of people having liberty to talk down to me everyone still did and thought nothing of it even new ones or people new to the area. i felt no love what so ever and after a year of complete inactivity and prayer for truth i was led to so call apostate sites. i finally felt that it wasnt just me it wasnt all just in my head.

i finished 'crisis of conscience'... i am just reeling.

if any one book has changed my life, then this one is definitely it.

i outed myself on facebook

by jeckle in

i've been post things on facebook like washtowel, field circus,etc.

next i told a nonwitness friend i was glad to be out of the cult he invited me to his church.

actually i said cults suck i'm glad i'm not in one anymore.

wow fs i have considered it if i stew on it i think about telling some elders off and da'ing myself but i dont my mom lives in my spare room and my brothers are close with me and her and it would make it hard on them . but i have been dropping questions here and there to let them know.i think some one has to be ready to face their doubts.

The Watchtower, a cult that worships the FDS and GB!

by VM44 in

with the continual emphasis that the watchtower places on following and trusting the fds and the gb in particular, one can only come to the following conclusion:.

the watchtower (and the jehovah's witnesses) are followers of a cult that worships the fds and the gb!.

essentially everything in the bible refers to the fds/gb.. everyone must listen to and follow what the gb says.. everyone must consume the "rich spiritual food" provided by the fds and the gb!.

kjw53 ok so which side of the fence do you want. please do some unbias research save yourself our pain.
