  Fading is better then completely leaving...comments?

  by Witness 007 in

  2. experiences

  i got the internet in my house and realised it's all lies....but as a pioneer/ministerial servant i chose to fade.

  see i had family and friends who were fully strict witnesses.

  so i played the poor lost soul brother who is not sure what's happening.

  I began my fade around 2015. It has worked for me for the most part. But some feel that they have to sever ties completely by getting d'fed. Everyone's situation is different, so to each his own.

  It’s started 🤦‍♀️

  i already have a friend who is trying to tell me that my mental health is causing my disillusionment with the jehovah’s witnesses.

  funny that a mental health therapist has told me my mental health issues are caused by being a jehovah’s witness.

  i’m still not going back.

  Interesting. Since I left, my mental health has been the best it has ever been.

  I used to hate going there. It was always super crowed with limited parking. I guess that's not an issue anymore.

  A Coin With a Remarkable History

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. physical

  over the years i have shared a few examples of objects i have found while metal detecting near my home in northumberland in ne england.

  i live in a rural estate that was the site of a medieval village with a manor house and defensive tower.

  many of the things i find illustrate the amazing history of the location.

  cofty,

  I'm an avid coin collector. What you found is pretty amazing!
  

  Under no circumstances should you ever put that coin into the contribution box.

  i heard of a jw wedding that:.

  (a)wasn’t done in a kh, and was performed by an elder.

  (b)the ceremony was done on a sunday.. i find this surprising for 2 reasons.

  I was not married in a kingdom hall, but I was married by an elder. The ceremony was on a Saturday. It worked out because the ceremony and reception was all at the same place, just different rooms.

  I’m not a huge fan of attorneys, but in this case, I think you need to talk to one.

  Exes: Would You Rat On A Current JW?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it's an interesting thought.

  if you are an ex jw, presumably dfed, and you see a current jw in good standing engaging in behaviour that would concern their elders, would you pass on that information to interested parties?

  do accusations from exes and other outsiders carry any weight?

  This is somewhat off-topic, but when I was a kid, I told the elders that I saw my friends smoking. They ended up getting disfellowshipped. I've regretted it ever since. But then again, they're probably better off.

  Were any congregation '' special privileges'' ever taken away from you?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you don't measure up to the watchtower society ''high standards''... you might lose some ''special privileges'' .

  miss meetings...lose ''privileges''.

  don't meet the monthly 10 hour ''field service'' ...lose ''privileges''.

  But unless you get disfellowshipped, you'll never, ever lose the special privilege of cleaning toilets.

  it was an opinion of someone that to be a divorced, single sister i. the organization was the lowest social standing you can have.

  why are they dispised?

  ( what if was a scriptural divorce where husband cheated?

  That is not an opinion, Sue. That is a fact.
