  EXTREME HYPOCRISY in this Sunday's study article!!!

  by Divergent in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  wow, what a disturbing study article this was!

  this was by far the most difficult study that i ever had to sit through.

  just take a look at what the article has to say about how blood should be viewed according to our conscience:.

  Does growing up in a religious family make you MEAN?

  by Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yeah, i was mean.

  could it be that i was not encouraged to have non-jw's as friends, so i viewed them as insignificant?

  could it be that i found it difficult to live up to "christian standards" and took it out on others?

  This is for all JW's out there...

  sorry to be so blunt, but you only have yourself to blame if you realize something is wrong but allow your cognitive dissonance to kick in.

  if you are confronted with facts which are reported by reliable sources which are hard to dispute and deny, and you choose to dismiss these as "apostate lies" rather than looking at these from an objective point of view, it's your fault and you deserve the consequences of willful ignorance!.

  Please change my username, Simon =)

  by Divergent in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  hi simon, sorry to disturb, but i would appreciate it very much if you could kindly change my username for me - from just kidding to divergent.

  i've decided to change my username because i'm not the same person i was when i first joined this site.

  back then, a part of me still believed, and i thought that if my doubts were wrong and the religion actually turns out to be true and i posted negative stuff here... hey, i was only just kidding!!!.

  Interview With An "Apostate": Just Kidding

  by Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  not all of these questions apply to me, so i will just leave an "-" for any which are irrelevant.

  tell us a little about yourself and your family.i am a young adult in my 20's with family still in.

  currently, it is totally impossible for me to leave due to family & business ties, as well as other reasons, so i am just lying low at the moment.

  I Waited Until My Wedding Night To Lose My Virginity And I Wish I Hadn't...

  by Divergent in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i found this article interesting & just wanted to share.

  after going through my teenage years trying to be the perfect jw, i realized that trying to live up to the standards imposed on me have been for worse & not for better.

  i was feeling miserable, repressed, unfulfilled, with a great lack of self confidence & self esteem.
