Did You Learn ANYTHING From Being A Jehovah's Witness???? (page 4)

Everything I learned could have been learned somewhere else without the pain and abuse. There were many things I learned that should not have been learned in the so-called context of love.

Min,

And to think we know many who hope that will happen tomorrow.

I learned how to be thankful for the life I have today.

I learned what brainwashing means.

I learned not to believe everything I am told.

I learned how to speak publicly and not be afraid of talking to people.

Jehovah's Witnesses taught me that there is no god.

Ditto! Thank you, jw's, for that swift kick in the ass!

~ I learned that anyone is capable of believing anything if they are just that very desperate to hear what they want to hear.

~ I learned that the jw's are just as full of $hit as any religion THEY claim isn't the truth.

~ I learned that jw's keep an awful lot of secrets in order to make believers out of worldly people.

~ I learned that there is a tremendous amount of love amongst people who they consider apostates or bad association, so they are among the worst ones to instill a sense of "good" character recognition in others.

Those of you who say you learned to speak in public--NO offense (I DON'T know your background on this), but is it because you did NOT go to school? High school in particular?? We always had to do a presentation or read a report of ours aloud in front of the class.

LS, JWs are pretty much forced to give presentations all the time. In the ministry, School, Service Meetings, etc. No regular high schooling does that.

I see...."all the time". Yeah, you don't get that in high school.

Thanks, Minimus.

Are you being smart with me, girlfiend?? I'm gonna have to give you another verbal spankin' if you think you deserve it.

It was a waste of time, a lot of erroneous doctrine that took me a while to disentangle and arrive at the truth. Some religious leaders can lie very convincingly.

Paralipomenon

I learned that if you don't think for yourself, there are countless people out there that are willing to do your thinking for you.

I learned to ask questions and look for the foundation of any belief. But I only learned it by leaving. Funny thing is, I knew to do those things instinctively, when I was like, 5 years old. Then my intelligence took a 30 year hiatus, because everyone I knew and loved told me I should just trust that other people had found the foundations for our beliefs, and it was wrong to question, really question, those other people.
