- Trump is like a cult. He promised he can fix everything, he said he knows more than any general, don't trust anyone who not on his side, everything will be wonderful under his rulership and finally just trust him what do you have to lose. Being in the borg most of my life I could see what he was all about. It will not be to long from now you will see people going door to door selling "WatchTrump and AwakeTrump maz. showing us the only way to happiness. I know this sounds crazy but that is the biggest thing I see with this guy. I hope I am wrong. Still Totally ADD.

Why are JWs so sensitive to criticism?
by Half banana ini remember a roman catholic priest acknowledging on the bbc that the outrageously anti-clerical tv comedy father ted was a humorous mocking of his church but an acceptable thing.. try mocking the jw religion to a believer and the result is so very different.. just why is it that jehovah's witnesses can never take even the faintest hint of criticism of their religion?.

The physical effects of Cognitive Dissonance
by stuckinarut2 inmost of us here have gone through, or are going through the various stages "cognitive dissonance".. this is a term used to describe a situation where our minds, and hearts just know that something is "not quite right", and therefore we find ourselves in a muddle trying to reconcile the things we know with the things we are hearing or being told.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/cognitive_dissonance.
so just wondering, how many of you found yourselves (or still find yourselves) becoming phyiscally ill in some way during the time of fading?.
i know that when i look back, for several years even before i was awake to the many issues and facts about the society, i would feel ill at assemblies or conventions.

When I woke up I went through a lot of depression and anxiety. I was the PO at the time and I was worried about how to fad from the Borg. It took several years to totally leave and a lot of research and reading this forum. After many years now out of the Borg I still have nightmares from time to time. But I am able to reason my fears away. I was told on this forum many years ago the time I spent in the cult will always be part of me and I will have to deal with it when it comes up. This is who I am and will be until I die. That is OK with me. For it has made me stronger and wiser. I can smell a cult a mile away now. LOL. I am happier now and more in control of my life. Trust me it will always a battle but is will worth it. I hope this will help. Still Totally ADDl

Just wanted everyone who knows me to know I am alive and well. We just sold our house in PA and are about to buy a house on one acre just outside Jamestown NY. Our health has been good and we both have good part time jobs. As of Aug this year we are now getting SS. Life is good. Our gardening teaching is becoming more popular in this area and we have bought a 20 ft. X 30 ft. Green house. Mrs. ADD has also published a small book called "Ten Weeds You Should Love". I am very proud of her. She worked very hard on this. Over five years out now and we are feeling more and more free from the cult. We are both thinking about starting a support group in this area for those who have escaped a high control group. We have several friends who are retired from the mental health field and would be willing to help. We will see how that goes. There are many other things taking place in our lives but not enough time to talk about it. I just want to thank all those on this forum who have helped us through the years. I see many new ones coming on to this forum in the last year hoping for support and they are getting it. That is what is so great about this site. THANK You Simon. You all take care and happy gardening. Still Totally ADD

Never Allowed to be Myself
by NeverAllowestobeMyself inso my handle has a typo, it is supposed to be never allowed to be myself but i'm okay with that because it is kind of symbolic of my situation.
as a born-in i have always had expectations forced on me, this is what you are to think, feel and do as a jehovah's witness.
my earliest memories involve being upset that i would die at armageddon because i was bad.

You are right on spot with what you said. As a born-in myself I can relate to everything you are talking about. The nightmares of dying at Armageddon was the worst. Because they did not use age appropriate material at any of the meetings I am sure many adults who are born-ins to the cult suffer with PTSD. I would not be surprised the WT purposely used this technique to control the young ones. I hope you can escape the nightmare. Good luck to you. Still Totally ADD -

I was in the ER watching TV when I heard the news Keith Emerson died. He was one of my hero's when I was a teenager. ELP was the first concert my wife and I went to back in 1978 at the Bay Front Center in St. Pete FL. I will never forget the piano and Keith rise up off the stage while he was playing it and started to swirl head over heel. What a great show he put on. Songs like "Lucky Man" "Just Take a Pebble", "Pictures on Exhibition" and the Tarsus Album I will never forget. RIP Keith and thank you for the memories. Still Totally ADD

Jehovahs Witnesses and the Curse of Music.
by donny injehovahs witnesses and the curse of music.. .
i was inspired to write this after listening to a recent podcast of the thinking atheist by seth andrews.
as many of you know, seth was a devout christian who not only loved contemporary christian music but was one of the hosts of a popular morning show on kxoj in tulsa, oklahoma in the 1990s.

James Brown, I went to a lot of the Rowdies games in Tampa back in the day. The song went kind of like this. (The rowdies are here and rowdies are there they kick the ball around. The rowdies are here and rowdies are there then they fall to the ground, All the rowdies, All the rowdies they are a kick in the ground) I think that is how the song went. LOL What great memories those are. Still Totally ADD
