  l was wondering if others get the feeling that the world we live in seems not quite right.l can not pin point anything specific but since childhood days l often get the feeling something isn;t correct.you know the feeling of deja vu.

  am l the only one to feel this way?ld love to hear from others and any storys they may have.having been raised in the jdubs maybe lm just suffering mild bouts of paranoia .

  I have not been fading; can only dream of doing so some day as my family and close friends are heavily in the JW world and I just cannot afford emotionally to part ways with them.

  My only consolation is that knowing TTATT has helped me in lowering service hrs/quality, meeting attendance and other JW stuff without the guilt usually associated with it. Also, I've recently formed a network inside of kindred trapped spirits and it's easing the JW burden.

  Indoctrination runs deep when JWs that brought me up are so entangled with the WTBTS. The state of mind of waiting for the other shoe to drop is unbearable at times.

  Quite the fabulous life they lead, and yet continue on preaching a life of sacrifice for the rank and file. Disgusting!

  Great video!!!

  The terrible result of indoctrination.

  As much as I want to escape, I feel that things will go terribly wrong once I do; I'll get a terrible illness for which I'll need help that won't be there, or I'll fall on hard financial times, or I'll suffer an accident and there'll be nobody there to help. It's a horrible, paralyzing mind trick that this deep indoctrination plays over and over in my psyche.

  It keeps me in chains, I feel 'til the day I die. This fear mortifies me every single day.

  The 'Slave Class', huh?!

  Have you seen the idyllic, men-worshipped, materialistic lives all these fat cats, their 'helpers' and other close associates are living everywhere they go???!!!

  Members in my family have volunteered several times to help in the Warwick construction and the info they brought back on how especially lavish the living quarters of the GB members are makes my blood boil with anger.

  'Slave Class' my ass!!!

  This is why I've decided, not one more farging red penny for these clowns.

  OK - I've had it - My letter to the KH

  by LisaRose in

  2. friends

  the whole time i lived in colorado, i had the dubs come by once and leave a tract.

  but since moving to california, they are at my door so often i asked them to put me on the "do not call" list.

  this did not stop them, in fact i have asked four times, plus once i called the kingdom hall and left a message, they still come, the last time this past saturday.

  A man in our territory had to shoot at a couple of JW sisters for them to get the point of not bothering knocking again.

  A bit extreme, but it did the trick. The couple it happened to was so distressed that they stayed away from preaching door-to-door for a while.

  Mentally challenged DF

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there was a df of a mentally challenged young man he sexually assaulted a young girl.. in jesus day people were possessed by demons but we know today they had mental issues.. do you know of any cases where a mentally challenged person was df.. the case that i mention the young man was 18-20 years old and it was a case where he was.

  functional, school, friends and was baptized.

  i knew the family and if you didn't know he was a. typical teenager.. my question, if a mentally challenged person is able to answer the questions to qualify to be.

  Mentally challenged people shouldn't be baptized. We have around 8 in our Spanish hall, all somewhere in the Autism spectrum some more functional than others, and they are all baptized much to my chagrin.

  The Org only cares about numbers. Idiots!!!

  How many here (believers) believe in the Hell fire doctrine and why??

  by jam in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's obvious the bible is very clear on a actual hell of fire.

  "cursed into the eternal fire with the devil and his angels", rev.20:15.

  "lake of fire", rev.21:8 "fire and brimstone".

  Why facts fail to reach the faithful, (even the intelligent ones)

  by done4good in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i posted this on another thread, and decided it deserves its own...thoughts?.

  an unfortunate artifact of evolution is that belief can, and often does trump fact.

  survival is at the core of what belief is about.

  Believe me, there are plenty that know the facts but, for whatever reason, mainly fear of losing all social contacts and along with that one's sanity, we have just decided to go along with playing the WTBTS game.

  Oh, we know.... We definitely know.😕

  This fat cat Lett is going around Spanish assembly halls saying crap like "let us not be discouraged because the end has not come as we expected to have happened by now", without recognizing that our expectations have been fed and encouraged by the WTBTS. So infuriating!!!😡

  Infant baptism in the JW religion, why is it harmful to young ones

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  baptism for young jw's is not the same as that practiced by other denominations, and it carries a lot of potential for harm.

  getting baptized as a young person in association with the jw organization is harmful to young ones who as they are maturing, wish to exit from the clutches of this captive religion.. when you see young ones, such as the one in the photo below, get baptized, doesn't your heart just sink, knowing the jw religion has caught another victim in its web of deception and abuse?.

  Baptism without full knowledge and understanding is the same as infant baptism.

  We are to follow on Jesus Christ's steps. At what age did he baptized? Alright then! Even though the Bible mentions that time when he was in the synagogue questioning the clerics, which meant he had love and appreciation for God, still he did not get baptized. He was a CHILD.

  Yet JWs have baptized kids as young as 7 years old!!! It is shameful!!!😡

  One of my big pet peeves of this religion.
