  Fasten Your Seatbelts - The Crazy Has Started (Also, bring the Koolaid)

  from facebook:just saw my jw mother after not seeing her for more than 2 years.

  when i do see her, it is brief, she never asks about my life, doesn't ask about my 4 children her grandchildren, doesn't ask about my grandchildren...her great grandchildren, she doesn't ask about my other 2 brothers that she is also alienated from, she doesn't ask about my brothers family.

  she doesn't talk about the jw/org either.

  So on my calendar I should mark January 7, 2018 @ 3:38 pm GMT. Is this correct? By the way what is GMT time? I don't want to be late for the party. This is very different from 1975 prediction because we did not have the exact date and time. Lol

  I wonder if this kind of paranoia is going to be a common occurrence from this point on in this cult? I remember crazy talk about Armageddon from old friends many times when I was in. My Dad love talking about how God was going to kill everyone in great detail. Today those who have been indoctrinated for so many years appear to be suffering with a mental illness. Remember how many of us suffered with mental anxiety after leaving. This may be a problem the WT may have to deal with for a long time to come. Their own self made paranoia. Still Totally ADD

  People Asking Me To Help Them Leave

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i dont know if it's due to the last convention, the recent broadcasts, the internet or just plain fatigue - but since the convention i've had a few people contact me via facebook messenger asking how i am then cutting to the chase asking me what it's like "on the outside" or "how did you adjust after leaving?

  " and asking me how they can leave the wt but keep their families.. my reply is always the same, i show real genuine interest and concern and listen to their situation.

  then i suggest a fade, how to fade, to ignore or reject elders visits, to not talk about their doubts to active jws under any circumstances and finally point them to this site.

  P.E. I find it so interesting and sad on how trap your friends are. The mental anguish they are all going through just because they don't believe the W.T.. Your experience of your friends feels like a flash back to the pass. What a terrible religion we all came from that makes us paranoid to the point we have to sneak around so we can use our own free will to live our life's as we want.

  To me it looks like your friend's trust you enough to get the answers they need. I hope it turns out well for all of them. Like us they have a hard journey ahead of them. Keep up the good work you are doing. Take care. Still Totally ADD

  Joe many years ago when I was first appointed an elder a older elder told me those who are supper righteous and talk about certain sexual sins all the time are guilty of it. I found that to be very true through the years. This guy is a pervert and hearing from voters who are still backing this slime ball I can see men have a lot of evolving yet to take place. Please guys when walking please don't drag your knuckles on the sidewalk. LOL. Still Totally ADD

  Berrygerry, I can see why you are so concern about your mother. My thoughts are your parents may not be getting the right nutrition. Living in Florida for 40 years and being in mostly elderly congregations we would see from time to time older ones going off the deep end. Nine times out of ten after they got medical care it was found out they was not eating right. Their body chemistry was all out of whack. I remember one old fellow his wife had just died after a few months he was doing crazy things. After getting him to doctor we found out he was eating nothing but turnips.

  It may be something else but you may want to look into this. The mind can really play a lot of tricks on us if it is not being fed properly. Then you add the crazy teachings of the cult you can see how this may be happening. I know this experience really sucks and I feel for you but there may be a reason for her thinking. I hope this can help. Take care. Still Totally ADD

  Is the husband the head of his wife?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how do we explain the marital role with what paul said in 1 cor.

  “but i want you to realize that the head of every man is christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of christ is god.” (niv).

  read a few chapters earlier at 1 corinthians 7 to see what paul does say about the relationships between husband and wife.

  When in the cult I heard many times the wives say there husband's may be the head but I am the neck that turns his head. The humans who own the penis does not make them great and wonderful they just have a longer track to pee through. My thought for the day. LOL Still Totally ADD

  Hell flipper I have been out 7 years I don't recognize it. My dad died in 2009 if he was able to come back to life right now he would not recognize it. It is like the old TV show "Outer Limits". When they said ( Do not touch that dial we are in control of what you are watching). Those poor cult members don't realize they are not in control. Still Totally ADD

  Did Being a JW Make You a Better Person?

  i heard many times when i was a witness how much "learning the truth" helped people.

  many have been said to have become much better people.

  addictions were given up.

  I am grateful for leaving the watchtower corporation. Innit!

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i dislike long topics......so here it is.. i suffered for my religion, now it's your turn.. when i first left the corporation my life exploded into a suicidal chaos.. my family broke up.

  i lost my so called friends.. luckily, i had worldly friends from all walks of life that supported me, even though they had no idea why i was so suicidal.

  in as much as they hadn't left cults.. i went from the corporation to a baptist church.

  Hey punk I went through some of the things you did. I also went to a local community Church for about 6 months and came to the conclusion of there being no god. The depression, anxiety and self doubt over whelm me foe a while. After about a year I started to pick myself and found a part time job. At that point my self esteem came back.

  A week does not go by where I am telling our new friends how destructive this cult is. I look at the cult as slow death by malnutrition where you get weaker and weaker.

  I have been reading a lot lately one of my favorite authors is Robert Fulghum. I am in the middle of one of his first books "All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten" Uncommon Thoughts On Common Things. His books consist of many 2-4 page stories. They are simple to read but have deep meanings. They are uplifting, funny and sobering. For a guy like me with ADD his books are perfect. For me I find his writings help to see were I am and were I am going.

  Here in the U.S. listening to much to politics is like banging your head against a wall. Please forgive my ignorance by asking this. What are your books about? Cult did teach us one thing advertise, advertise, advertise. Thank you for your insightful post. Still Totally ADD

  JW.ORG turning into an evangelical clone

  2. beliefs

  i clicked this link to the november 2017 tvjw video, in it they defend their 2 witness policy, though, gutlessly, they do not mention it in the context of child sexual abuse.. anyway, check out the christian jehovian song at 57:06, ugh, makes me nauseous.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksz0qiftsok&feature=youtu.be&t=53m25s.
