  what a journey!.

  it was a year ago today that i was announced from the platform by brother paul "twofaced" castley that i was "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses".

  i didn't go to that meeting to hear the announcement because i already didn't believe the watchtower religion.. how was my first year?

  Happy one year out of the cult anniversary. I like your realistic approach to life. Some downs but many ups. It has been 6 1/2 years now for my wife and I still sometimes think about praying before I eat. Also read the same book by Dawkins. It really help me to become a non believer in God. Life for us is good and we have made many new friends. Take care and keep up the good work. Still Totally ADD

  What changes would JW.org need to make to become a normal Christian denomination.

  i am interested in getting people's thoughts on this.

  on average 40 thousand people leave the organisation yearly for one reason or another.

  the experiences all over the media are proof of this.

  For me, they need to apologize for the child abuse that has taken place all these years. Stop the kangaroo courts system with the two witness rule and the way they side with evil ones in the congregation and start protecting the innocent ones. That would be a big step forward. Stop having the attitude you cannot trust the flock to do the right thing. My 2 cents worth. Still Totally ADD

  Interesting Thing My Little Girl Said Today

  2. experiences

  my 3yo daughter lives with me 4 days and with her mum 3 days.

  i have her tues, wed, fri evening and saturday all day.

  which means my ex takes her to sunday and thursday meetings but she doesn't go door knocking on saturday because she's with me.. i dont mind - at the moment - because in a way i want her to know the jw jargon so we can talk about it without having to explain what it is, and i want her to compare the bullshit to the real world.

  Dogon, how right you are. Our kids have nothing to with us. My wife and I have not spoke to them in years. We even have a another grand child we have never seen. My wife and I trained them to well. This is a very dangerous cult. Still Totally ADD

  For Minimus, and other old timers who remember H2O and the early days of exJW discussion boards

  i'm having a debate with someone on facebook who claims he came up with the term "borg" in reference to the wts back in the mid 2000s.

  however i'm certain the term was used on h2o as early as 1999 as well as here when this site was first set up.. can anyone confirm that i'm not dreaming?

  what's the earliest you remember seeing the term being used?.

  minimus I don't claim to be a old timer but I started lurking on this site back in 2007. When I heard the term the Borg used I knew exactly what was being talked about. Thanks to my watching Star Trek next generation. The term Borg fits the WT. Cult to a tee. It help me to reason many things out. To whoever came up with using the term borg to identify the wt. Cult, thank you every much. Still Totally ADD

  I was 15 years old when we went to the Atlanta 8 day convention. If there is a real burning hell, back in 1969 in Atlanta was a great example of what it might be like. LOL. Still Totally ADD

  EdenOne thank you for your one year appraisal. It shows we leave the cult not to do bad things but just to have a normal life. Good Luck to you and your family and have a great day. Still Totally ADD

  What is your happy or comforting memory from your childhood?

  by MissFit in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i think of my childhood i tend to organize my memories based on the houses i lived in.

  the house i remember the most was the house on the hill when i was 6. i can still picture it in my mind.

  it had a big porch with a porch swing.

  I live out in the country on a lake. That lake was my escape from the cult as a child. I would swim, fish, ice skate, run bank lines, sail a boat and even kissed my first girl on that lake. It was not until now did I realize what a safe haven that lake was for me as a child in a cult. Still Totally ADD

  did any of you attend the old school week long conventions?

  i have heard stories and it seems like these were mostly in the 70's and 80's before my time.

  i couldn't imagine.

  1958 in NY at Yankee stadium and then the big one in Atlanta GA. 8 days of hell. The temperature was around 100 degrees everyday with severe thunderstorms in the afternoon followed by a steam bath. My parents and me all had heat sickness for about a week. What a genius idea having a open air stadium in Atlanta GA in July!!!!!! Still Totally ADD

  What "Rules" Did The Elders In Your KH Make?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some congregations were known as liberal and others were considered very conservative.

  back in the 1970s a nearby congregation made all speakers who gave public talks a white shirt to wear.

  if a speaker came in wearing anything but white they were brought into the library and were given a white shirt!
