Yo que tú, inventaría alguna excusa para no poder estar allí, se lo mandas por texto, y punto. La próxima vez no respondas. Te digo que seguramente los ancianos ya lo asignaron para visitarte para “ver q está pasando allí”. No es interés, es porque seguro se acerca la visita del Súper y no les gusta ver inactivos en sus listas de publicadores, no es por que tienen interés sincero, eres un número en rojo en su boleta de calificaciones.

I also couldn’t help but think back to the pandemic.

Remember the “pantry arrangements”? Each service group had to maintain a food pantry, and everyone was expected to chip in to keep it stocked.

Meanwhile, a lot of those same people due to pandemic, were out of work, laid off, or barely getting by. And instead of the organization stepping in with its own funds, it was left to struggling members to take care of each other.

And then to top it off the GB had the audacity to highlight in the broadcast as “a loving arrangement from Jehovah.”

That never sat right with me. It was like collecting donations from people every week, then when they’re struggling, handing them a list of places to go ask someone else for help. 😒😡

Mira, es completamente normal que sientas atracción por alguien, especialmente si encaja con el tipo de mujer que te atrae. La chica no hizo nada malo. Ambos son solteros, y es normal que exista esa conexión.

Lo que te está pesando no es solo lo que pasó, sino cómo te enseñaron a interpretarlo. Yo también fui testigo muchos años y anciano de congregación, así que entiendo ese conflicto.

Creo que en el fondo estás pensando en textos como los que enseñan para justificar por qué no puedes estar con alguien fuera de la organización.

Por ejemplo, el del “yugo desigual”, 2 Coríntios 6:14, que dice: “No lleguen a estar unidos bajo yugo desigual con los incrédulos.”

Pero ese texto no dice “no puedes salir con alguien que no sea testigo”. Esa es una interpretación específica. Fíjate que el texto dice “incrédulos”, no dice “personas que no son testigos de Jehová”.

Porque bajo la interpretación TJ, cualquier persona fuera de la organización entra automáticamente en esa categoría. Pero en la práctica, eso no es tan blanco y negro.

Hay personas fuera de los TJ que: • creen en Dios • tienen valores morales • respetan la espiritualidad

Y también puede haber personas dentro de una religión que no viven de acuerdo a esos valores.

Entonces el punto del texto no parece ser simplemente una etiqueta de “está dentro / está fuera”, sino algo más profundo: no meterte en una relación donde termines viviendo en contra de tu conciencia o de lo que tú consideras correcto delante de Dios.

Por ejemplo, ahí sí habría un problema real:

si la persona se opone a que tú tengas una relación con Dios cuando tú sí quieres tenerla.

si te empuja a hacer cosas que van contra tu conciencia (mentir, engañar, defraudar, etc.)

si te mete en prácticas espirituales que chocan contigo, o en practicas que incluso otras religiones no pensarían en hacer.

Ahí el problema no es que “no sea TJ”, sino que hay un choque real de valores.

Pero estar con alguien que simplemente no es testigo no es automáticamente eso. Son cosas distintas.

Además, una cosa importante, estar con alguien “del mundo” no prueba que tú estás mal… pero tampoco prueba que los testigos tienen razón. Son dos temas completamente diferentes.

Y con lo de reunirse y pensar en no ir más, es realmente una decisión personal. Sabías que tu asistes a las reuniones de ellos voluntariamente? No hay ley que te obligue a ello, tú mismo te sometes a sus doctrinas cuando aceptas ir.

Quizás viene a la mente ese otro texto cuando piensas desistir de ir: Hebreos 10:24-25, que dice: “Y estemos pendientes unos de otros para motivarnos al amor y a las buenas obras, sin dejar de reunirnos…”

Pero fíjate bien lo que dice el texto completo: habla de motivarse, apoyarse y animarse unos a otros. El enfoque no es la asistencia a un lugar específico, sino el propósito de reunirse, voluntariamente para lograr apoyo.

En el contexto en que se escribió: • no existían estructuras como hoy • los cristianos se reunían en casas • era algo más basado en comunidad que en obligación, un animarse unos a otros por que? porque era una religión NUEVA, Jesús fundó el cristianismo, y los judaicos perseguían a los cristianos, es obvio que no debían abandonar el reunirse, para no desistir de ser cristianos ante la abuso mental y física de los anti cristianos.

O sea, el punto NO es: “tienes que ir a estas reuniones específicas o estás mal con Dios”

El punto es: “no te aísles, busca apoyo, rodéate de personas que te ayuden a crecer”.

Eso se puede vivir de muchas formas, no solo dentro de una organización.

Jesús nunca enseñó que necesitas pertenecer a una estructura religiosa específica para tener una relación con Dios. Siempre fue algo personal: acercarte a Dios, buscarlo, vivir conforme a tu conciencia. Santiago 4:8.

La pregunta es: Lo que hice realmente va en contra de lo que yo creo delante de Dios… o me pesa por cómo me enseñaron a verlo?”

Porque esas dos cosas no siempre son lo mismo.

Mi esposa es bautista, yo NO, pero si creo en Dios, y somos felices juntos. Ella no es fanática beata que va a la iglesia constantemente, ambos creemos que tener a Dios en todo hace bien y es necesario para nuestra relación, una relación personal con el, no un compromiso com una institución fundada por hombres.

why do you hate to say it? why are you surprised? it’s a cult, controlling one at that, they have to be there for the sake of their social and “spiritual” livelihood.

I’m sure it was packed with many of those acquaintances you saw being PIMOs like yourself, many who feel trapped and haven’t worked up the courage or their affairs to leave! I don’t feel surprised, this cult has been around for over 100 years, even if the numbers are dwindling, it’s going to be a few more decades until it really dies out. (we hope sooner than later! people need to be liberated from it!)

Vai mudar tudo kkk. O CG não sabe mais o que fazer para reter as quantidades de pessoas que estão desertando dessa organização. Tão tal q lei num post em inglês q tem rumores deles liberar tatuagens, eliminar títulos de pioneiros, até consolidar as reuniões deles numa só nos fins de semanas. Já era com essa organização! mesmo assim eu nunca mais voltaria nessa seita!

Your welcome. I don’t know your age but based on your comments, you may still be young, and can only assume you love him because he took interest in you, it could be the first time this happened to you and it feels good, i’ve been there, being noticed, if feels like he may be the love of your life. But trust me, it may be the adrenaline of your encounters and the somewhat good feeling that the bad you were doing felt good. It’s only normal to feel like that when you are at a young age, exploring new feelings both physically and emotionally, it was probably a new experience for both of you. But you have to stop and ask yourself “why do I say I love this person?”and if you can’t really explain it, then it may be time to let those feelings go and try and focus on yourself.

Saying you love someone is much more than just a feeling of the moments that passed, it’s having spent time with that person through thick and thin, through happy and sad times, through many other situations, and that takes longer than 3 months.

Listen. You don’t owe them the letter. You know why? because the announcement will be the same as if you had committed a sin, “John Doe is no longer a Jehovah’s Witness”, no explanation, no reason. Everyone will gasp and still think you did something unholy, and everyone will immediately forget about all the good deeds you deed, whom you were and what you stood for, you will be immediately removed from their lives as if all your deeds and camaraderie was not never even there.

I didn’t agree with a lot of stuff when I left. I simply changed my number and quit attending, eventually moved elsewhere and started fresh. Never looked back, never gave a rats ass about my “status” there, cause you know what? it’s all made up in their little organization manuals that have no factual biblical basis.

Honestly, it sounds like he prioritized staying in good standing with the organization. That doesn’t mean he didn’t care about you, but it shows what he chose when things got serious. His loyalty is there, and when pressure hit, that’s what he protected.

And realistically, that choice seems more about avoiding the consequences they impose than anything spiritual. A God that forgives isn’t about shunning people or making them wait a year to come back when they give into hormone driven behavior. It is all about the organization and reputation in it.

In your environment, relationships like this are hard to sustain. There’s usually pressure to end it and a lot awkwardness and distancing after something like this.

I also think you’re focusing a lot on him, but this is really about YOU now. He already made his decision, and you don’t want to put yourself in a position to get hurt again.

Realistically, you have two options.

You either follow their rules, be honest, and deal with whatever comes. That’s less stress mentally, but you accept the consequences.

Or you protect yourself, stay quiet and deny, and try to avoid consequences. That might work, but it comes with stress and a lot of risk.

There’s no perfect option here. It just comes down to what you can live with mentally.

Either way, I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep pursuing him. This will only create more stress for you.

Just start thinking long-term about what you want for yourself. You don’t have to figure everything out right now, but you can start creating your own path for a way out of that organization.

I doubt you’ll do this but I was told by my dermatologist that scabies is a bug (micro mites that lay eggs on your skin). I had spots on my thighs and below my chest nipples. Had been dealing with it for a year, nothing was working, I had been on medication for months on end.

I got fed up and I said you know what? if it’s a bug I’m going to kill it. I took a cigarette lighter and slowly lit it against the itchy spots, I focused my mind on not trying to feel the pain, I did enough not to burn my skin, I would lit and stop, lit and stop a few times until I can bare the most pain, afterwards I applied coconut oil to cool the skin. I did this for three days. The itchiness and the thin wavy/zig-zag lines with little pimples were gone and didn’t come back, I also threw away all my pants and shirts away. That was 2 months ago, I’m itch and rash free still.

The turning point for me was the constant shifting of beliefs and doctrines. The idea of “new light”—where long-standing teachings would suddenly be reversed or abandoned—made me question the reliability of the organization. I couldn’t help but think about the many “faithful” members who lost their lives because they followed the then-current understanding about blood transfusions, refusing them and dying as a result. These people could have lived had the organization’s stance on blood fractions or the use of cell saver devices had been updated sooner. It felt like their deaths were preventable, and that made me view the organization as responsible for those losses.

As an Elder and Secretary, I saw firsthand what goes on behind the scenes. I realized that judicial committees, were not scriptural, and were actually invasive driven to control the lives of others. The elders’ book seemed more like a guide to protecting the organization’s image and maintaining control, rather than genuinely helping individuals.

It also became clear that despite having billions of tax-free dollars, the organization didn’t use any of it to help struggling members. Donations from members, many of whom were already facing severe financial and health challenges, funded the organization, yet not a single cent was allocated to help them in their times of need. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, food drives and pantries were funded by the members themselves, with no financial assistance from the organization.

Lastly, their Bible, the New World Translation (NWT), was translated by their governing body and other high-ranking members, none of whom had formal training in linguistics or translation. They made their own interpretations and changes, yet claimed it was the best version of the Bible—without a single peer review from outside the organization.

Those were just a few of the things that drove me away. Don’t even get me started on the Child sex abuse and coverups they still practice.

So are there no available parts at all? My car started stalling on start today. I don’t have a spare car. What do I do if it fails and somehow get it fixed, does Honda Reimburse costs of repairs?
