Failing to have love among themselves is exactly why I started to fall away from being one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I did not even think about the doctrines until I visited H20. I had gotten to the point where I hated going to the Kingdom Hall. I would see adulters, married to their new wives, after a brief disfellowshipping, huge cliques that only allowed certain "cool" people in. ( I was considered one of the cool people until I started missing meetings) Suddenly I didn't hear from my "friends" any more. Brothers continually asking you to do more, more, more. And the end never coming..... after I had screemed on the house tops to all my old worldly friends and family that the end was right around the corner! I have fought this feeling for 10 years, feeling like I would be thrown into darkness, never having any forgiveness left. But, I feel very energized now that I have been visiting this site. I had decided to just die. I knew I didn't want to go back, but I didn't know where to go. Now, I am starting to feel hopeful again. Perhaps I was unhappy because it wasn't the truth....oh my, what a concept! Thanks for sharing....
No longer in the abyss.....
