5 years inactive and still sometimes I'm haunted.

i've lately been thinking about the pernicious nature of the belief by the jw's that they are the one and only true religion.

how this belief allows for an egotistical world view and allows them to shun and denegrate those that do not share their opinions.. please pardon my round about thinking process as i've been mulling this rant for some time.

while my father's side of the family has been entrenched with the jw's for two generations before him, my mother was a new convert.

I've been inactive for over 10 years now. Around the four to five year mark I felt exactly like you do now. I was very angry about all the opportunities I had missed in life due to my JW childhood. I was stuck in a shitty JW marriage, you know the one were you get married at 19 just so you can have sex. I had missed my chance to go to college. My life felt like one big waste of potential and possibility.

I went through a divorce. I enrolled in college and recently completed my engineering degree. I went to work for an amazing international manufacturing corporation. I met a great woman. Now I get paid to fly around the world and "work" as an engineer. When I get home I spend my time with a wonderful women who has no JW bullshit in her mind. It's great!

The point? Life is what you make of it. Stop allowing the JW's to rob you of your new life! Every minute you spend anguishing over what you might have had is a waste of time. It's as if the JW's are still running your life!

True success and happiness are right there just waiting for you to take them! So take them!

How the organization can survive and thrive in the 21st Century

let's face it.

after 2014 comes and goes uneventfully, reality will hit hard for many.

the organization will fall apart and apathy, inactivity and bitterness will rule.

Unfortunately, this will never happen. The WTS is successful because it sells hope to those without hope. It offers a path to power and control over others, even if your sole skill in life is washing windows or cleaning toilets. As long as there are ignorant, desperate, depressed, lonely, and power hungry people there will always be groups like the JDubs.

Wait how often are they doing a Theocratic Ministry School review now? It wasn't that often back when I was in.

What is the difference between an active JW and a successful FORMER JW?

by Terry in

passionate enthusiasm (where is yours?).

active jw's are pushing the end times boulder up the mountain day after day with an imaginary goal of paradise for their efforts.

the prophetic dates roll over them and crush them again and again.

To me the biggest difference is success. Once you cast off the JW mindset and go after your dreams......success.

New Light 2009-Present?

by Euler173 in

so after a 5 year absence from this site and generally not having anything to do with my jw parents, i feel a bit behind on all the fabulous "new light" that must have slithered down from the faithful slave up in brooklyn.

anybody care to give me a quick bullet point on what jw's currently believe?.

Well of course Brother Sir! I do wonder though how the arrival of the year 2014 is being spun?
