I would also like to ask him why it is so difficult to find him and get to know him. Why is the Bible so difficult to understand (if it is his word) and why didn't you make it easy for us mere humnas to know if there was one true religion and how to follow it. Why so many conflicting ideas - surely, an almighty creature can let us know where he is, why he is and what he intends to do. It is all so vague.

Do You Ever Miss It?
by pettygrudger ini was in a hormonal state the last couple of days, feeling a little melancholy.....sometimes when i feel like this, i miss being a jw.
don't get me wrong, i have not intention of ever going back.
i've come to realize what i miss is the naivety, the black & white thinking, allowing the organization to pretty much guide my every thought.

What I miss is that feeling that I had at last found the meaning to everything. I felt I could cope with such bad things as a JW. I thought I knew all the answers because they were all in the WT in black and white. It seemed to help me cope with the loss of my daughter because I was so sure I would see her again. Now I don't know what to think and I get panicky sometimes thinking about it. Sometimes I think it may be better to stick with it because, without it, there is nothing. I hate all the hypocrisy but I miss the hope.

What exactly IS a "Publisher"??
by LovesDubs inthis was posted in nov by namewithheld: "link, yes, if a baptised jw does not turn in time on a slip of paper, they are not counted as a 'publisher' for that month.
so indeed, it is true that there are more baptised jws than the number of publishers reported.
on the other hand, you can be counted a publisher and not be baptised jw.

The way it happened with me was this.
First I had to be interviewed to see if I was good enough to join the Ministry School
Then I had an interview to see if I was good enough to called a Publisher (un unbaptised one)
Then I had to have an interview to see if I was good enough to get baptised.
Now I am waiting for an interview to see if they are going to 'sack' me!

I want to, NEED to, believe in God. I would love to know what he is all about and what hope there is for mankind in the future. The earth is teeming with life - on the land, in the sea, in the sky - it can't just have arrived here by chance. It is all too beautiful. Surely, there has to be something up there. I couldn't bear to think that there wasn't - I wish my faith was stronger.

Doubts that led to your departure
by JH in.
what event made you realize that you were serving a phony organization, and what was the turning point that made you see clear?.

Seeing a group of old men reduce a perfectly respectful woman to a gibbering wreck and then patting themselves on the back for it - that just about did it for me!

I say the same thing. I love God and I have decided to obey him as ruler rather than man, which means leaving a man-made organisation with man-made rules and regulations.
I have yet to come across a more dysfunctional set of people as JWs - I should know as I am one of them. I have never seen so many unhappy people, always striving to do more hours, pre-study for meetings, get to all the meetings, mix with the right people etc. They never seem to feel good enough for God and are always doomed to failure. I don't want to be part of that sort of unhappiness any more. I want to serve God joyfully.
