This actually happens all the time during mid week meetings. JWs are constantly required to tell uplifting positive stories about whatever method they were supposed to be working on in the preaching work that month. For the few who actually tried it or had a chance to try it on someone who would actually open the door, didn't mean they would get a positive outcome from it. I remember all the time the elders on the platform would have to literally beg for someone to raise their hand, then my poor husband feeling sorry for the guy (because he was an elder and knew how hard it could be) would raise his hand, and I knew some BS was about to come out lol. Everyone is forced to exaggerate the truth all the time, and even end up believing their own bs sometimes. It's all a bunch of Bull S&*#.....

Is it me or were the experiences at the assemblies really contrived?
by keyser soze inmy favorite were the ones where they were reading a wt publication in the break room at work, and an inquisitive co-worker, thirsty for spiritual knowledge approaches them.
this leads to an informal witness, which eventually leads to bible study and baptism.. in all my years of working, i've never had anyone show the slightest bit of interest in what i was reading while i was on my break at work.
but as i said, maybe it's just me..

Just missing the convention, feeling so grateful and happy for Jehovah's provisions. #stayintherace #jw #jwbrotherhood #jworg #jwministry
There aren't enough pictures to capture the level of happiness, peace, and hope we all experienced this weekend *John 13:35*

You are so right about that, life isn't over til it's over. Enjoy every second of it, don't waste anymore time in it. Make your fade as quick as possible. Just to not be tied down to this organizations rules and requirements is freedom enough!

Don't believe anyone is up there listening - said a prayer anyway out of sense of obligation
by Zoos ini've read many statements on this forum from people who have expressed the sentiment that you don't shove ttatt down the throat of an older person.
it would be too traumatic and its best to let some people, in some situations, simply pass on in the delusion.. its humane.
merciful.. in the initial roar of my awakening, i was unable to cuddle up to that sentiment; preferring, instead, to shove the blood curdling shock of truth down the throat of anyone i could get my grip on... age be dammed.

You did good, sometimes we have to put our pride, beliefs, etc, aside in order to do the right thing. And this is ddefinitely one if those moments.

WT acually truthful in today's text!
by Sanchy in...hope to enjoy everlasting life and witness the resurrection, things unseen by the world.
like the philosophers of paul’s day who called him an ignorant “chatterer,” most people today think that the hope we preach is sheer nonsense.
(acts 17:18) .

Lol we both laughed so hard after reading that part of the morning text. It's funny how we're more enthusiastic about reading the text now than we ever did when we were actually in! So much to talk about now when you read between the lines. Anyways, so nice to know they realize everyone sees their hope as sheer nonsense! 😂

My life has ended (be careful what you wish for part 2)
by nevaagain innoone and nothing can really prepare you for the burning pain you feel when your spouse leaves you after 8 years of marriage.
from one day to another, all your dreams, hopes and plans are shattered.. i still have so many questions which will remain unanswered in eternity.. the thread i made a few weeks ago, is part of this story.
after learning about ttatt my plans involved to wake up my wife as well and exit the truth.

So sorry you are going through this....all I can say is, accept the friendship that the jw's are giving you right now because they really do care. This can actually be your escape as well. Start fading NOW and ppl will just think it's because of your current situation and that you are "weak spiritually ". Don't let this org waste any more of your time! Life goes on and you will move on. You seem like a nice guy, in the future when time has healed your wounds and you r ready to get out there again, try to find a woman who cares about you as much as you care for her. Don't make that mistake again, life's too short.

what sort of reactions have you gotten when talking to other jw when telling them the "truth about the truth"?
by AmIright inits funny ive read some stories on here about how they have become so infuriated by what logic dictates as being true and their own denying of it because it completely screws up their belief and shows how hypocritical it is xd some look like a nuclear reactor about to blow xd.
share you experiences here :) .

Stephanelaliberte:
I love your story....i so wish that this could be our experience some day. We've only been out a couple months so our family is acting awkward around us. Not sure if they r shunning us, honestly I don't think they even know if their shunning us....i guess it's a process for everyone. My hub and and I have only explained ttatt to parents and 1 aunt and 1 sibling, they were all defensive about proving this is the truth with the usual "we're the only ones who preach, don't go to war, don't take blood, etc".
