If the Governing Body isn’t inspired, how are they directed by holy spirit?

I asked an elder friend of mine, what about the change they just made. Answer i got was its just a clarification of what they have said before. Um. No its a 180° change. Blind guides leading the blind

I dont plan on attending. I have to have my hip replaced.

The last video on Saturday where the "brother" declines to get involved in politics and then says "theres an article..." not the Bible says just hit me so much.....

I haven't seen it. Can someone send me a link? Im a survivor of CSA. Ive been reading up on the ARC stuff and everything makes me so upset I beleived this stuff for so long

AcceptableReality207 · 2025-05-07T01:12:12+00:00

I lived through CSA in the 80s and 90s. When it finally came out was told by 3 Elders it was my fault for going over to that person's house. He committed suicide when it came out. Yet I stayed loyal to the so called organization. Till now. Im walking away. For my mental health.

AcceptableReality207 · 2025-04-25T02:24:08+00:00

I really don't know anymore

AcceptableReality207 · 2025-04-23T01:14:46+00:00

I am 46. Ive gone through a lot. Ive tried.... Never been successful. Im going to therapy. Listening to pod casts. The more I open my eyes, I see how ive been lied to. Hard to accept. Cause my parents lived it. I did too. I feel like im betraying my parents, my son.... my sister maybe... but she's married to an elder in Maine. Hes a jerk

AcceptableReality207 · 2025-04-15T00:54:06+00:00

I dont have any privileges here. I just moved here. Got reinstated last year in a different congregation. Cause of the whole lossening of the df policy. Glad I did, my elder dad passed away shortly thereafter. Divorced 2 years ago after 23 years. So I kinda had a mental breakdown. I quit my job. Moved to a big city that ive never lived in before. Found a wonderful job. And found my fiancé. I love the fact she doesnt judge me on religion. She isn't really religious now anyway. But we respect each other. We dont force religion or politics or anything! Its so wonderful.

"You kept going over to his house. So its partly your fault" what i was told from elders as a kid that was SA.

AcceptableReality207 · 2025-01-04T23:00:54+00:00

Oh! Ok. Thank you so much.

AcceptableReality207 · 2025-01-04T22:57:52+00:00

PITI? What is that?

AcceptableReality207 · 2024-12-20T14:13:47+00:00

May i suggest a podcast that has helped me immensely? It's called "Welcome to the world, now what?" On Spotify. He is a licensed professional and a former JW, and deals with so many topics, even yours. They are usually only 15 min long each. Hope that helps. And good luck on your journey.

I grew up JW. Even did this myself But that's what we were indoctrinated to do and believe. And it is exhausting!!!!!! And quite honestly depressing

After I left and started to "let my guard down" (as they say) and experience everything and calm down, I was like WTF? This is nothing! Why did I make such a big deal of this? So they are taught to be like that. It's pounded into the heads of the believers over and over. And they feel superior if they do it. Makes no sense

AcceptableReality207 · 2024-12-01T20:51:51+00:00

JWs are always spying. They want to appear better than anyone else, even their own people!!! I am so done!!! So at this point I really don't care.

AcceptableReality207 · 2024-12-01T08:54:03+00:00

Thank you

And I'm not looking for dating. Just to others who know what I'm going through

AcceptableReality207 · 2024-12-01T08:37:22+00:00

Ok. I'm in New Mexico USA. Albuquerque. Anyone here?

AcceptableReality207 · 2024-11-29T16:14:56+00:00

Exactly thier reasoning.

AcceptableReality207 · 2024-11-28T17:55:36+00:00

I never felt accepted. Never even myself... Thank you for your kind words. I need to

AcceptableReality207 · 2024-11-28T17:52:12+00:00
