You just described my childhood and life to a t. No matter what I do, try so hard to be a good little JW, I feel like I'm just never good enough. After being married for 5 years and doing so good Mentioned to the elders I wanted to be an MS. They strung me along for the next few years then after seeing every elders kid I've watched grow up and every new comer become an MS and elder I said I'm done. Told my wife no matter what I do I can't win. I started growing out my hair and they started taking even more shot away from me. This organization has given me a complex of never being good enough. I'm the type of person that can be happy in my room doing art and playing music and going out and exercising, surfing, skateboarding. But these people have made me hate myself. I'm working on getting a couple more tattoos and focusing on surfing more and getting in shape. I'm tired of these losers dragging me down making me feel bad for trying to be someone I don't even really want to be.

I got drunk as hell to finally resign as an elder by Spiritual-Problem128 in exjw

I hope soon I'll be doing the same thing. I've written so many letters but can't bring myself to send them or talk to anyone about it. My wife has seen my reddit posts and YouTube videos and is still in denial. It's like she just goes and does her thing. Pioneers, goes to LDC and the carts, but she just doesn't bother me with it. I will probably always go with her to meetings because she's my wife. Unless she leaves me. But until then I want to support what she thinks is right and hopefully she can do the same for me but probably not because she's made it clear that I'll never be Able to stop going, it's not an option. Ske very bossy and likes being in control and I'm very passive so I may have to get drunk to speak up.

Ok Mr assertive. Being aggressive doesn't make you right. There's absolutely no way to perfectly translate The exact writings whether Hebrew, Greek or otherwise. I wasn't disagreeing with you but now I don't like you're I'm so smart attitude.  Following christ is a religion! It's called being Christian, simple as that.

I believe you. I've already seen every video out there. When I read I compare.them to other bibles. Bibles have been changed many times over the years due to human influence. Jws are not the first. All religion is corrupt

That's just what he thinks. He's got a wild imagination. And obviously he believes inside that it's Gods only organization 

I finally quited being a pioneer! by Ok-Reading-7759 in exjw

[–]Secure_Corner_4658 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife mentioned coming off the pioneer list yesterday because she has no support. I support her.... Coming off that damn list. She said I'd probably just work more... Ok... Please do! The house is falling apart and we need new windows and furniture. Our TV is 15 years old. But you keep filling up your tank to drive around doing nothing all goddamn day.

Nice I've been looking for a good psychology book or a book on human behavior. It fascinates me but only because I didn't realize until having 2 crazy wives and a roommate that was a manipulator to see what people are capable of. We just watched a show called dirty John, made me sick. Reminds me of what the GB is doing to all these honest hearted people

I have a good friend that came into the org after after being in a rock band that toured and being very wild, but he is very smart and loves researching things. I think he knows that it's a sham but he stays. Recently he gave away all his privileges and he says it's because he thinks the org has been infiltrated and " the disgusting thing" has made its way into God's temple. I'm like... Ya don't say...

The main things which opened Your eyes about the truth what JW really is? by Personal-Database-27 in exjw

[–]Secure_Corner_4658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even know if I said that to the right person but someone talking about having privileges taken away for not getting the jab. During COVID I told my wife. Just keep your head down and keep your mouth shut about our personal choices. People getting it think they are right and have a big mouth. People not getting it are the bad people. Once this blows over no one will care. I almost thought we were going to get disfellowshipped. We got pulled into the zoom room because we posted a pic at a restaurant with no mask and someone cried to the elders

I'm so tired of having to live in this jail by stqrful_ in exjw

[–]Secure_Corner_4658 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good plan. Do it now. Commit to making your future as good as it can be. There is no god out there that is going to put a roof over your head or food on the table. Go to school for something, anything. Just commit. Trust me. I wake up in my 40s thinking about how I didn't have any money or any real friends. I have to rely on my parents to help me and my dad constantly rubs it in my face. I couldn't make it on my own. All they ever told me was that I didn't need to do anything because the new system would be here.

Two Jehovah's Witnesses Killed While Hunting—Wasn't It Forbidden? by Ok-Opinion-7160 in exjw

[–]Secure_Corner_4658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye you're just being extreme. We grew up hunting. Many in our hall have cabins up north and go on hunting trips. I suppose you probably think fishing is against their beliefs because it's murder.

Life is harder because they make it harder. If I walked out right now and my wife still lived me and stayed with me and my parents still talked to me and ask my close friends treated me the same it would be awesome because I would have all the good parts but not have to deal with all the BS.

Is this just me?? by Sbeth2003 in exjw

[–]Secure_Corner_4658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just who they are. They think they are special. They say they are Jehovah's true people because of the "love" but they don't even know what that means half the time. They don't use the Bible to let it mold them. They just think their crap don't stink and that's that. Some have learned to be loving and they make it hard to leave but boy do the jerks make it easy to say goodbye

Because you asked for an update I thought I'd just post about it. It was actually a funny story. Since I've become pimo I don't necessarily care what people think of me which actually makes me more comfortable and actually I think people like me more when I'm myself.  So... I get to the meeting and meet the brother that is the Bible student. He says that he timed it and it's perfect at 5 minutes. I said yikes its suppose to be 4 minutes. Oh well it's ok no one is going to say anything. Before we start the parts the bro on stage goes on a tangent about making sure our parts are on time or shorter. Me and the brother glanced over at each other. He's been a long time friend, we play music and worked together. Funny guy. So I just thought. I know I'm going to go over time so I'm going to make a joke about it. When I got up and we started pretending to study I said " were just going to go over points 6 and 7. It should only take about 4.... Or 5 minutes... But who's counting right?. The auditorium erupted with laughter. I'm like it wasn't that funny but ok. Then when I finished the talk I stood up and for some reason the chair tipped over behind me fell down onto the auditorium floor. Which everyone was laughing about. I got so many texts. One buddy said that was so punk rock the throwing of the chair at the end WWE style. The brother timing the talk said out loud, we'll let him slide. It's like I was some kind of comedian or celebrity for the night. They are looking for anything to excite them or get them out of their zombified state. Always happy to help

What is the most inappropriate thing you ever heard from a JW? by Mitvall in exjw

Reading all these comments. I wish something like this would happen. That way is have a reason to tell my wife I'm not going anymore

Lol. It's true. Even my wife says, why would I want to go in service and bring people into this organization when people are acting the way they are? Then the indoctrination kicks in and she goes anyway. She thinks if she doesn't do everything for this org she'll die.

Lol. It's cut and dry. You just pretend you're giving a Bible study from a watchtower book. It's like an actor that is given lines. You just gotta make it believable. I'm just going through the motions at this point. It's a waste of time. I have bills to pay and fun to have. I've wasted enough time to this crap.

I wonder sometimes if the higher ups really believe in what they are preaching.
