bit of background: a couple of years ago i was reproved after i slept with a brother that i was in love with but we were not married.
in fairness, the elders were kind and supportive.
the problem is, i had always been the model witness before that.
Welcome Annamouse
Good advice from all of the above this is a very supportive and encouraging forum .I do hope you do stick around and that your physical and mental health improve so that you dont feel the need to try to harm yourself again.
Do take care and I wish you well for the future.
several of the jws i know have recently graduated/incorporated wifi sensitivity into their (self) diagnosis of chemical sensitivity.
they seem to be particularly terrified of the new 5g, with some even believing that it's the new 5g that's causing coronavirus in china.
the fact that even though they maybe able to turn off their own wifi but will still have all the other wifi signals around them doesn't seem to occur to these jws.
You guys just crack me up ...sometimes ?
i just got back from field service.
i haven’t been out in a few months so now we don’t keep any written records and we don’t know which houses are do not calls.
i also noticed i was the only one with a book bag.
When you are an employee of a company you must log on so the boss knows how many hours you have worked and how much he has to pay you .fair enough .
But JW`s are not paid employee`s of a company that need to report their hours ,they are unpaid volunteers who do not need to report their hours .
And isn`t Jehovah God an all seeing ,all Knowing God who can read hearts and minds ? Why does he need to see a written report of how many hours of preaching you have done ?
JW`s pride themselves on being their religion based on first Century Christianity ? What scripture can they show us where reporting of time was ever in use ? In fact the opposite might be true .1Cor.1:29 " in order that no flesh might boast in the sight of God".
for those of you who've watched the witnesses documentary, let's suppose for a moment that the org was forced to make their database of abusers available to the courts.
if this database is as detailed and meticulous as it is claimed, how in the world could the org (in its present form) survive that?
assuming they don't go bankrupt after all of the new abuse claims, would they go underground, shut down the kingdom halls, stop the preaching?
I don`t know why law enforcement agencys just can`t go in and seize the documents ,they seem to be able to do it in the political realm or News media Tv stations etc. when they want to.
I mean to say arent they defying court orders ? that say they are to present these files to the authorities ?
So why arent the authorities doing their job ? and seizing these files themselves ?
How many examples do we have that show over many issues that the law can be an ASS .
"when someone is disfellowshipped from the religion, normal family relations continue, with the exception of spiritual fellowship.”a watchtower lawyer clears up this common misunderstanding:.
https://jwvictims.org/2017/11/19/watchtower-lawyer-lies-outright-in-court-about-disfellowshipping-and-shunning/ .
Is this lawyer a JW ? or just an ignorant lawyer about JW`s beiefs I wonder ?
If he is a JW then sure he is an outright liar that should be called out for that and if he is just an ignorant lawyer about JW`s beliefs he should be called out on that as well.

if jehovah god had purposed followers of jesus to be called jehovah`s witnesses , jesus christ had the perfect opportunity to instruct them to do so .. the fact that he didn`t and the overwhelming evidence in the new testament that followers of jesus were to be witnesses of jesus christ as the only means to come to the father jehovah god.. sciptures that say christians are to be witnesses of jesus 20+ , scriptures that say christians are to be witnesses of jehovah in the new testament ?
none / zero .. not the wtb&ts or the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses but only by bearing witness to jesus as his witnesses.. and here is the proof not by what jesus said but what he didn`t say when he had the opportunity to do so.. when many stopped following jesus because they were shocked by what he was saying .john 6 :67-69.
"therefore jesus said to the twelve ,you do not want to go also do you?
When Simon peter said whom shall we go away to ? Jesus had every opportunity to say ,Jehovah God of course he is the Father ,that`s who you could go away to .
But he didn`t say that because that was not and is not Gods purpose for Christians to bear witness to Jehovah ,they are to bear witness about Jesus Christ
That`s the point I`m trying to make .If anything the WTB&TS / I.B.S.A. should have called themselves Jesus Witnesses .

Sciptures that say Christians are to be Witnesses of Jesus 20+ , Scriptures that say Christians are to be witnesses of Jehovah in the New Testament ? None / Zero .
Not the WTB&TS or the Governing Body of Jehovah`s Witnesses but only by bearing witness to Jesus as his witnesses.
And here is the proof not by what Jesus said but what he didn`t say when he had the opportunity to do so.
When many stopped following Jesus because they were shocked by what he was saying .John 6 :67-69
"Therefore Jesus said to the twelve ,you do not want to go also do you? 68 Simon Peter answered him Lord whom shall we go away to ? You have sayings of everlasting life 69 and we have believed and come to know that you are the Holy one of God.
Now we come to the IF
When Simon peter said whom shall we go away to ? Jesus had every opportunity to say ,Jehovah God of course he is the Father ,that`s who you could go away to .
But he didn`t say that because that was not and is not Gods purpose for Christians to bear witness to Jehovah ,they are to bear witness about Jesus Christ and his Kingdom and this is the only way to have any sort of relationship with God.
According to the New World Translation of the Bible.
this was in the dailytelegraph paper from australasia.
the reason i copied it here is coz you have to be a paid memeber to read anything on their site.if anyone wants to check the source here it is.

Apparently Gods word the Bible is not good enough nowadays .God was quite happy for the Bible and the Bible alone to be enough since it is his word alone borne out by his holy spirit and was all that was needed for 2,000 years ,but somehow its not good enough for humans today .
Forget about Holy Spirit the Bible needs modern technology and the WT Society in their wisdom to do what the Holy Spirit obviously cant do or is failing to do.
And that is bringing in a great crowd in this time of the end as the Bible has promised .
So we are going to fill the gap that God and his Holy Spirit have failed to do.
With this new beaut project of ours.
Matt.18:18 "Truly I say to you men Whatever things you may bind on earth will be things bound in heaven and whatever things you may loose on earth will be things loosed in heaven.
Maybe this is their cop-out.
Vs.19 Again I truly say to you if two of you on earth agree concerning anything of importance that they should request it will take place for them due to my Father in heaven.
So what was good enough for 2000 years is not good enough anymore.
