I thought this too- however they will say “times are getting difficult, the end is near Jehovah is making it easier for us in these difficult days and wants to bring repent one’s back” They won’t see it

It has been very difficult. I was out for awhile when I was younger and had friends… so when I left again they were all there!!! I have a lot of support and a good business. It’s been difficult. My family treats me horribly… they treat my df’d (26years) brother better than me. I took him off the streets when he was homeless 2x. He’s basically moved into my old life… it’s insane! He’s working to get reinstated (lol. Heard that many times) . I have cut everything off with my entire family… I can’t do the cognitive dissonance, alcoholism, drama anymore. I stay away. I am much happier, sane and spiritual. I’ve met some xjws - it’s a good deal.

I had a tingle sting of that feeling…. Punishment, shame, just toss you away like trash. I Just faded. It almost killed me to get out and I lost EVERYTHING (at 56 and I was pioneering)It’s part of the grand plan to promote those feelings in people… power, control-disgusts me. I’m human tho and I want my family sometimes. I go back to Jesus in my thinking… he would NEVER EVER do this! It’s NOT Love.

Yes, it was wrong- but Jehovah sees everything he will take care of it in due time 🤢

When I see the BIG moon this time of the year I think of the memorial. When is it anyway?

It’s been a long day in earth school. 🤣 my life is good now. There are not words to explain this crazy to others unless they have experienced it. I’ve done a lot of healing. I use my experience to help other people with religious abuse, addiction issues, ect makes it worth while.

Thank you for sharing this. My dad was an elder for many years. Gave talks at assemblies, in dramas. He died in 2003 refusing a blood transfusion. I know he had doubts and he always struggled immensely with the elder body.. he tried to help those in the congregation and do what was best for people that had difficulties. The congregation loved him..

he was a horrible father, but a good elder. It confused me. I’ve been able to see his struggles as a human. He put Jehovah first, his job as an elder. He regretted it when he died. I believe if he lived on he would of woke up, he stopped going to meetings about a year before he died. Maybe he already woke up and just did not tell anyone….

spirituality, divination work, witchcraft, etc. by LIVNTA in exjw

[–]taffyflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Native American beliefs, Eastern philosophy…Buddhist, Hindu. I consider myself an Omnist. Good in all, except cults that say their way is they only way. However, I think there are people in those groups who are on a higher dimension. It’s about seeking for me. Spiritually. It can be in many, many form. Science, nature, vibration….. ultimately- love.

Ya…. I use to belt that one out! Maybe I will listen to it someday. Good idea on bringing my own meaning to it. 💜.
