  Motivations for Watchtower leadership

  by GetMeOutofHere in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’ve struggled for some time with this question.

  why would the elders, cos, branch committee, helpers to gb and the gb themselves devote their lives to progressing in the organization, if the whole thing is one big sham?

  i have 3 ideas so far.. 1) money.

  Personal story of bethel, sexual abuse and child baptism

  by GetMeOutofHere in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  born into a strong jw family in the early 80s.

  my father died when i was 4 and that left a huge emotional scar on my tender mind.

  with my mother, i went to live with family members and was sexually abused between 4 and 10. he was an ms but when elders later found out, all that happened was he got his privileges removed.

  My own mother would rather see my death

  by GetMeOutofHere in

  2. experiences

  apparently, according to my mother, the worst thing that could happen to me is not dying in a car crash or getting cancer but instead would be me leaving jehovah and his organization.

  i of course realize this is the position of jws but to hear my own mother verbalize it on a gentle walk in the woods was painful to say the least.

  needless to say, i cannot tell her i am mentally out..
