A healing and inspiring community that has made great strides in understanding and recovering from our shared past of spiritual, psychological and mental abuse by a supremacist, fundamentalist, religious, doomsday, publishing cult.

There are many nice people here. If you were a timid Witness checking this place out, hopefully you weren't too scared off by the "interchange of encouragment".

Freedom to discuss religion, even if yours is diametrically opposed to that of someone else. We have simple rules that are easy enough to understand, and Simon refuses to complicate things by making tons of interpretations that could gradually encroach on this freedom. Instead, we simply understand that our viewpoint(s) are not the only valid ones, and people can and do change viewpoints as they gain more information.

YES, this place is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get.
Sometimes you get a box full of nuts!

This is the only site that is totally democratic,in where all (who wants) could express their feelings or knowledge without fearing beeing shunned och disf. Its a breathing hole for all those who never hear serious questions discussed at the KH. Here they can find support for their doubts, and facts for what they believe. In fact what the WTBS do with their belivers is very much similar to what all previous political ideas did to ther inhabitants. The communist, faschist and religious ideas always tries to silent their critics with hard methods. It is also curruption preventer. Leaders dont like their followers to know what they actually are doing.
Thanks for this site..

The WT is the North Korea of religions.
This place is like a Paradise Island that belongs to the inhabitants ,who look after eachother, and only make the minimum of Laws (Posting Guidelines).
On Paradise Isle JWN you can be who you really are, you can say what you think, you can ask any question, you can also be as silly as you like, which suits me.

Phizzy , I agree.
Bring a submissive JW, as a born in, child, adult, and wife, I learned my place was to be as passive as I could be.
I didn't like it, it is not me.
Here on JWN I sort of grew a "pair" lol, and sort of say what I want, lol, and it is kind of fun!
Learning at my own pace to undue WT harm, is great.
Just Lois

'Learning at my own pace to undue WT harm, is great.'-Lois. That sounds great Lois. What a fantastic place this is for people to recover and start to be themselves. 'On Paradise Isle JWN you can be who you really are, you can say what you think' - Phizzy. You made me think Phizzy, be who I really am and say what I think. Hmm I think I may still be struggling with that one. Think I will stick around and keep trying - I needed JWN when I left in the eighties! I still struggle with people insulting me on here but I will try and grow a thicker skin and learn to say what I think Phizzy.
