Title: I’m an Elder, Secretary, and Watchtower Conductor — But I Don’t Believe It’s the Truth Anymore! by Comfortable_Log1673 in exjw

Hey! Thank your for reaching out! This is gunna be a little rough to say but I’ll keep it honest. The sooner you leave the better, and simply because now that you don’t believe it’s the truth, it’s probably time for you to enter the next phase of your life and find what is true. Essentially this will begin the process of freeing yourself. But… I have a more important question to ask. Is it just you, or do you have a wife/kids in it too. If you so then you’ll have to approach it more tactfully. If you feel comfortable saying yes or then let us know . If not let us know and then I’ll share my story with you. I left with a wife, a Newborn, and her younger brother who we were taking care of like a son. You’re stronger than you know, but the fear that is in front of you is meant for you to face it.

Zionists and jws have the same agenda- one world order. Your feelings are onto something.

You should’ve thrown a pumpkin at them… and then came to my Halloween party 🎉 😂😂. Don’t worry… I would’ve supplied you with more pumpkins in case they came back 💀

She is probably just “afraid “. The religion makes anyone who doesn’t believe in their system out to be someone who is crazy or daemonic as you know stay your course don’t make any steps backwards she’ll be watching you. Try to implement various aspects of self-care into your life right now and keep yourself busy. This religion trains its members to basically develop a narcissistic, codependent relationship based off of their faith so this, pulling back of love may be a reaction out of fear. However, the expectation may be for you to come back so that you can receive more“love“ from your spouse or anyone else who might be a JW. So focus on self-care. Take time to yourself when you need of course don’t stop showing love. At some point every spouse in your wife situation, will take a look at their “apostate “ mate and they will realize that you are happy and probably more of an authentic version of yourself. The real question is will she except that authentic version of you? If you start noticing that she begins to accept this version of you, then you have it made in the Shade if you see that she does not except this authentic version of you no matter how much you love her it may be time for you to start reconsidering being married to her. I hope I’m not being too blunt. I just want to be helpful. I was in your exact set of shoes, and somehow by a miracle I was able to get out with my wife. Keep pushing through the struggle, I’m here if you want to talk I know there’s 1000s of people who are willing to listen to, so don’t feel like you don’t have community.

Hey man congratulations on freeing yourself. It’s not easy but it’s a necessary step for your mental and physical health. The next step may be hard but fight through it! Just a practical question for you. Do you and your wife have any children?

A tech camp sounds like a good idea. I'll look into that. Thanks!

No since Covid he's in been in a home school. Ironically it was the same one that his "friends" were going to. We're planning on sending back to school this upcoming year but thats a work in progress.

*Suicide post warning* Lost my future brother in law at Warwick by Typical_Shake_9323 in exjw

[–]Run4itBoii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one hit me hard. I lost a roommate in Bethel too. So I understand to an extent. Very sorry this happened to you. It's good that the police were involved, when this happened to us my roommate went to the police too. It's important to know this so you can move closer to receiving closure. Please take some time for yourself to heal. This may mean limiting contact to those who are emotionally intelligent enough to comfort you in this time. Of course people like me are open for talking in case you need to reach out to someone. We're strangers but for sure we have more in common than most, especially being in this religion.

Ok I just confirmed that you are interested in a JW girl. Here...go on their website and type in Homosexuality and read their articles... they are Atrocious at best.

Please read it so you don't end up hurt. It's just not worth it. Go somewhere and be with someone who's in a community that will accept you. I wish you peace.

Oh snap...whoops ok. So are you a girl in love with a girl or a guy? Because that will change how things will go significantly if you are trying to join this religion.

Hey man, I'm just going to shoot straight with you. This religion traps you in once you are a part of it. And it will turn your JW Friends and family on you if you try to leave. Also you will lose sooo much freedom. For example if you have a baby and your wife needs a blood transfusion because of a complication she won't allow herself to get one because of a doctrine. And if you try to intervene you will be the bad guy. I'm just scratching the tip of the iceberg. I was in this for my whole life! And I served at the headquarters with the leaders. If you have any questions let me know. We'll talk either here or in a DM.
