  Anyone pissed at their parents for raising you in the cult?

  my mother was not the most emotionally stable person.

  she was a follower and instilled in me the idea we were better than those worldly people.

  its hard to go to school as a child and you can not be friends outside of school, you can not celebrate any holidays, and you are told all these people are going to die.

  Not pissed but i wish they would have found another way to have saved their marriage. They were both throw away children and they needed structure in their life. As a cult the wt. was able to give them that. All the way to the end of my dads life he would offten say to me if it wasn't for finding the truth their marriage would not have lasted. He was very proud of that fact. Even though I went through a lot of abuse in the cult I am not mad at my parents for raising me in it.

  But I have in the past beat myself up for raising my kids in the cult. Any anger from them for being raised in the cult is very understandable. I just wish I would have woken up earlier in my life. I can't change the past but I can be there for my children now. Still Totally ADD

  People are nice and life is awesome.

  i got invited as a +1 to someone's house yesterday to watch the fireworks.

  i'd never met the hosts, and it seemed that most of the people in the group only knew one or two other people there.

  yet i felt more genuine friendship from everyone there than i ever felt at any jw gathering.

  How true it is. Last night was our third annual get together with close friends to watch fireworks. Just good conversation, food and fireworks. Not once since I have left the Borg has anyone that I know tried to take advantage of me. Unlike what I experienced in the borg many times. Actually we talk about tight pants and pillows and how Cults are sex crazy. Lol. People for the most part just want to live a peaceful life. Only the us against them mentally disease Borg thinks otherwise. Still Totally ADD

  i'm writing for some advice from former jws.

  my family is christian, and my 15yo daughter is "dating" a jw boy.

  (the quotes are because they aren't old enough to actually go out on dates... they consider themselves bf/gf and have hung out and gone places with each other, but always with parents, family, etc.

  All good comments. Like all teenagers their hormones are in over drive. For Jw teenage boys and girls they are under a lot of fear control and guilt for this. This experience of having a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship is very exciting and dangerous for those in this cult. Even more so if they are raised in a very strict jw household. Ignorance about sex, spiritual abuse, physical abuse and sexual abuse is the norm for these young ones. Their world is a world of the thinkings of the cult. Dating a person outside the cult is a very rebellious by this boy and it may be his first time he is experiencing a freedom from the cult.

  I feel sorry for him for if he is truly in a Jw family and if he gets caught he will be in a lot of trouble. If he is baptized in the Jw faith he could be disfellowship or excommunicated from the cult and shunned by all he knows. He is playing with cult like fire. Be kind to him but at the same time try to get as much information you can on him and learn more about how destructive this cult is. Good luck to you on this subject. If you have any more questions please come back to this board and ask them. Still Totally ADD

  Spiritual "Protection" - a Menace on Psychological Development

  not quite a week ago, @lost in the fog created a thread entitled: do you have this illness?.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5187824140681216/do-you-have-this-illness.

  in my year of being on this forum, i have browsed many a disillusioned thread of ex-jehovah’s witnesses expressing similar symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder when detailing their awakening - my own story included.

  Thanks OnTheWayOut it is awesome.

  Flipper I kind of thought you have been busy with your up coming apotasfest or work. We have been on cloud nine for the last few days. We told him about the response I we have been getting from this site. He was amazed by this fact. We encouraged him to restart his account here. He actually sign up before we did. He forgot all about being on here. He may have to resign up for he forgot his old password. It's up to him if he does or not. Thanks for the toast tonight my friend it's very kind of you. Take care.

  I feel so sorry for your situation. It's so sad, so sad. Hopefully your children will wake up and you will be reunited with them. If you asked me a week ago if that could happen I would say most likely not but now I have changed my mind. Stay positive dreams can really come true. Take care. Still Totally ADD

  Giving the GB a Windows Version Name

  by AllTimeJeff in

  i don't know which version of gb we are on.

  (also unknown, which "old light" doctrines they changed to conveniently fortify their own position, when i was at gilead in 2005, i called them 2.0 because the last of the old guard was dying off.. for those associated with "ancient" history, windows started to come in their own with 3.0 and 3.1 in the early 1990s.

  that is, until windows 95 happened, and the ubiquitous start button was first introduced.

  How about GB denier or GB give me the Damm money or GB on the run or GB disappointment or GB do what I say not what I do. I know it has to be shorter but how about GB last days or GB we wear tight pants because we have no balls. That one is way too long but maybe GB nuts then we can then say sometimes they feel like a nut and most times they are. GB pushers of fear and paranoia. Sorry Jeff my mind is on silly thinking. But maybe my sillyness will jar someone to come up with something but I do like GB14. Take care. Still Totally ADD
