  have any of you heard of anything like this.

  i remember an ex jw from ohio taking video of a former kingdom hall that is now a church.

  apparently the society sold it to the church.

  Petty Rules

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  did your congregation have any petty man made rules?

  i remember the elders in my cong didn't like if a single brother and single sister walked in the parking lot together after the meeting ended, to their car.

  you couldn't hold the mic or give a talk without a coat (that might be a universal jw rule).

  i remember a co saying from the platform, " people often say blood is thicker than water.

  well not in jehovah's organization" i don't know about anyone else, but it sure rubbed me the wrong way and one of the million reasons why i left!.

  We are imperfect

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i can't tell you how many times i have heard this while growing up as a witness.

  every time i questioned hypocrisy in the org i was told " well we are imperfect" and its was beyond annoying.

  at what point does "imperfect" turn into just not christian?

  Appealing a DF decision

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i always found it interesting that one could appeal a disfellowshipping....if jehovah doesn't make mistakes, then there wouldnt be a need to "appeal" anything to begin with right?.

  Disfellowhsipped for 7 years...

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember around 2009, there was a scandal going on involving 2 families in my cong where the husband in one family was having an affair with the wife of the other family.

  this resulted in pregnancy and subsequent disfellowshipping.

  what was interesting to me though was a comment made by a co from the platform.

  What steps did you take to free yourself from the cult? mentally or physically?

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  first i ignored all of the elders phone calls to send my recommendation letter to my new congregation, truth is i had already started my fade and moved across town and didn't have a new congregation.

  i deleted all jw friends on facebook.

  i also threw away all of my public talks recorded on cd, all literature, even my book bag and my bible.

  Why cant Judicial Committees be taped?

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have never understood this.

  was it because of legal reasons?

  i cant think of any other reason why it wouldn't be allowed, but i know the elders ask you repeatedly that you are not taping.

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  were any of you shocked by the secrecy in the org?

  i remember hearing that elders have to turn in their "flock" books if they resign, get deleted, etc, i didn't even know they had their own books and i was an ms. is the bible not enough?

  i remember i asked one of the elders if i could see my publisher record, they refused to show me!
