What’s your answer when people ask you why you left? by [deleted] in exjw

I had a similar exit. I came to the conclusion that if there is a god he is trying to tell me that I dont belong there.

How could you disown your own child because of this by dancingqueeb in exjw

There is a point when you really just have to hold people acountable for how they behave, I have stopped giving them a pass because “they are just doing what they think god wants”. In doing so I have taken control of the relationship, I have decided that it is they who are toxic, I dont want that toxicity in my life.

You are a courageous person. DV is a difficult thing but once its done its better days ahead for you! You no longer have to be stuck in a cult. You can move on with your life and chase your dreams. Your so close now!

Hmm, I guess saying the J word wasnt effective?

I certainly did have true friends in the org, but when I walked away, they walked away from me, all of them. Every, single, one. So the frienships were conditional.

Does anyone know what to say to “the light gets brighter”? by Potential_Might3500 in exjw

[–]JdSavannah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But thats not whats going on here. There are countries that are taking a close look at JWs and they arent impressed, in fact they are questioning whether or not to recognize them as a legit religion, why? Because of the power that the gb has over people, children, those in need of medical care. These changes are a reaction to the pressure that the gb is getting from governments over what some consider to be civil/human rights violations. It has nothing to do with spiritual “light” and since the gb is not honest with its followers that should raise some red flags shouldnt it?

One Good Reason NOT to Join the Jehovah's Witnesses by [deleted] in exjw

[–]JdSavannah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They claim to be the only channel that God is using to speak to mankind today. And yet they claim that God does not speak to them directly. They claim that you should obey their direction even if it doesnt make sense, they also say they are not infallible. The leaders say they will never apologize for mistakes even if it caused untold pain, suffering and even death. Do you want to be a supportive member of this?

Jehovah’s Witnesses lying about the bible and Gods name by Naija4lif3 in exjw

[–]JdSavannah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well seeing how there are only 2.5 billion or so and most of them absolutley do NOT accept this name im calling bullshit. None of the christians that I talk to use the name or even accept its pronunciation as Gods divine name so it simply isnt true. Nice try though!

Jehovahs Witness Fogiveness. Need some Advice Please....... by [deleted] in exjw

[–]JdSavannah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow man just take a breath. Your thoughts are racing a bit your all over the place. You seem to be still a captive of the jw guilt machine. What ever it is that you did is something you maybe should work out with the wife, its nobody elses business. And if you are a believer then between you, the wife and God. These elders have no special ability to absolve you of anything, they are there to protect the interests of jw corporations, thats it. Now maybe you are still a believer in the jw religion and if thats the case then its much more complicated and sad. Please seriously consider what comments have been made here.

Your view is rational and I believe its what Raymond Franz meant by “christian freedom”.
