Am Tired Of My Religion (Jehovah's Witness). Help Me by rome123: 11:45am On Jul 23, 2011
Am tired of being a jehovah's witness.

Am really tired of being a member of this religion(jehovah's witness).

There are reasons why am tired of this religion-

(1) we don't celebrate christmas
(2) we don't cellebrate new year
(3) we don't celebrate birthdays
(4) we don't celebrate valentine's day
(5) we don't celebrate easter
(6) we don't take part in politics
(7) we don't marry outside our religion
(cool The laws of the religion are very strict and too hard and many more which i cannot list to the end.

This religion is too hard. The laws are too hard and extremely hard to keep. I am just tired of this religion. I want to quit but the problem is that am already a member. Once you are a member there is no turning back, and am really desperate to quit. This religion deprives you of so  many things,the good things of life. I just can't bear it. What do I do? I am confused.

^^^ seconded! Though I'm not one of them too, I've seen JW members that left the church without much fuss and I have instances where a member married a non member.

Who says you cannot turn back? If you do, what will happen?

Food for thought - Your relationship with God is not and must not be by force, whoever tells you otherwise, lies.
If you feel imprisoned because you serve God, 1) you've been misoriented or 2) you worship in the wrong place and with the wrong sect.

2 Corinthians 3:17 -
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Change. Yes, you can.

Jehovah Witness is one of the many Christian cult groups and thank God your eyes are now open by the Holy Spirit. What you need to do is simple, just give your life to Jesus Christ. The scripture says if the son of man (Jesus) sets you free, you shall be free indeed (John 8:36).

Lol. I have some JW relatives. It seems like a decent religion. A bit strict, like you say. They don't believe in the holy trinity though, only in God the father, iirc.
Re: Am Tired Of My Religion (Jehovah's Witness). Help Me by FlamingGun: 1:19pm On Jul 28, 2011
Of course you can leave. There is such a thing as "disassociation" in which you write to your Body of Elders to say you no longer  want to be a witness. The Body of Elders may invite you to hear out your reasons for not wanting to continue. You may refuse the meeting. Alternatively, they may send two Elders to confirm that you wrote the letter. If confirmed, a short announcement is made to your Congregation to say you have voluntarily chosen not to be a witness anymore.

Choosing to disassociate is treated as ex-communication (disfellowship) with the attendant consequences.

You could spare yourself all that by simply fading away (i.e. skipping meetings, not participating in field service, etc.). This will put you first on "irregular" status, then after six months of not participating in field service and reporting time, on "inactive" status. Fading away offers less pain compared to disassociation or ex-communication. It gives you time to buy time - find new friends, move to a new locality if you can afford it, still talk to active witnesses without necessarily being shunned (although you may be considered "bad association" or may be "marked", etc.

Now you know.

Thank God i am a religious study student and i think i am in a privilege position to say that the purpose of religion is to direct the heart of man towards the existence of the Supreme BEING. if you feel that there are better and more enjoyable way to relate with the SUPREME BEING, then it is logical that you free yourself from every human impose doctrine and do what is needful of you to attain a state of satisfaction, remember, the first human was given liberty like air to do and undo, so i don't see why you can't get out of any form of yoke that is holding you down

Re: Am Tired Of My Religion (Jehovah's Witness). Help Me by Mexzie(m): 1:49pm On Jul 28, 2011
Let me say this, true worship to JEHOVAH comes with hard work, the price of everlasting life wasn't open just to everyone, thats why only 8 souls survived the flood. Only a few of the Isrealites made it to the promised land compared to the many that left Egypt initially. Do not come here or any other place and say things like this, you are even worse than those without faith because if given the opportunity the would hold fast to the truth. You yourself cant deny the fact that all that you learnt is not the truth. You are fully aware of reasons why we dont do mall that, that doesnt mean we dont hold recreational activities. Bible standards as a true christian is strict, the price of everlasting life in paradise on earth is great, that was why Jesus Christ came to die on our behalf DO NOT MOCK Jehovahs organization am sure you know the consequences, are you allowing the short stay you have to live deceive you. Dont forget your prime ends at 45 years, can you compare that to endless life in a peaceful new world with new sickness and death and pain of any kind would you give up that for mere "desires of the flesh" and lose GOD's approval, remember Moses lost out in atleast seeing the promised land all because of 'careless talk', The world is coming to an end and you very well know, the truth is the only salvation,

I never knew quiting a doctrine could be this complicated. Life is free so does religion, except, it is a cult. You are free to oscillate from one religion/doctrine to other without any fear of persecution.

There is beauty in religion. You have the freedom to affiliate where you have fulfillment provided you are at peace with GOD.

I am a witness and i find it hard to believe that you are a witness. If you are considering going out of Jehovah's organisation in order to use the world to the full, you must be ready to suffer the tragedy attach to disobeying the source of life(JEHOVAH). [color=#006600][/color]
