That's an interesting read, and the video is good too. Is there any documentary evidence of the placard anywhere?

New forum 'parousia' is upon us! (software version)

by Simon in

the time has nearly come to switch over to the new forum software.

of course it's not completely finished yet (and never will be) but i think it's good enough to go live with and probably already better than the current one.

i'll give you a quick overview of what to expect and post more detail about the changeover process later.. cloud platform.

Period of time from crack to avalanche

i know, people are very different and have different levels of holds to the organization, but i'm insanely curious about how long an exposure to ttatt may marinate before culminating into an action to research further.. from your earliest memory of a planted seed due to an event, challenge from another person, accidental website hit... whatever... (the crack) to the time the ttatt became a reality, (the avalanche), how much time expired?.

i guess we have to remember that everyone here is a success story and that for many, it may be never.. .

Ooh that's intriguing AJAX, can you tell us what it was?

From 1 to 10, how do you rate the value of the Internet in your awakening?

by Hidden-Window in

as we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.

i always had doubts and it was the internet that presented me with the ever-growing number of individuals who were going through a similar struggle.. i give the internet a 9 in my awakening.

what about you?.

disposable hero of hypocrisy

9. Information is what the borg don't want you to have, and the Internet is nothing BUT!

(the other 1 is reading Ray Franz's books, but I was only able to do that on the Internet through a download. So i guess it's 10 really!)

Creationism emails from a JW

by TheStumbler in

earlier this year, i received an email from a jw family member with a link to this video:.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1ruhkgqjug.

i wrote a long reply debunking the video (mostly copying talkorigins info).

disposable hero of hypocrisy

I read half of that reply then my brain started hurting.

I'll come back to this for sure. I genuinely think 40+years of indoctrination has short circuited me intellectually, as whatever info I read on evolution doesn't seem to take a hold inside me. I EAGERLY await your response to the other family member, as I think it could benefit me a great deal.

Thanks for posting this, you know you'll be helping hundreds of people like me for as long as this site stays live.

Just quit quietly - the law is on your side!

by Ajax in

freedon of religion guarantees any individual the legal right to abandon any religion at any time for any reason.. if you are a citizen of a country which champions human rights, then your government doesn t care what religion you join, but they will uphold your freedom to join it, without interference, coercion or persecution.

your countries human rights legislation will conversely uphold your rights when it comes time to abandon any religion you so choose.

those (elders) who incite others interfere, coerce or persecute those who have left will be in transgression of the human rights statutes.. a person is only obligated to ecclesiastic law if he exposes himself to it or transgressed it while still a member of a religious community.. when your time comes to abandon the jw-wt cult, do it while still in good standing, be proactive - be decisive -put it in writing!..and do it before the hounders set sights on you.. write a card or letter with as much or as little explanation as you one day might wish to share with pharisees and lawyers.. take this card to a notary public to have your signature witnessed and have the writing overstamped in several places with the date.

interesting post, it'd be mega if this worked!

And welcome azor, takes guts to post the first time, I know the feeling well! Don't worry about bad associations, I'm a jw in good standing, and I gotta say I trust a lot of the people here more than I do some of the people in my own cong!

current update- the wife and i are separated.

i dont go to the meetings or in service but im not df, or da.

she is not budging.. problem- my wife has made it clear that she doesnt want me back unless i do all the witness stuff, i have even offered to attend meetings but not participate in commenting or go in service and this is not good enough.

If you've not 'endangered' her spirituality, and to the contrary are willing to even support her in her belief, she shouldn't be separated from you. Exercise your God give husbandly authority (!) and quote some wt's and scriptures at her telling her to be in subjection and try to win you over without a word. If that's what you really want. This cult sucks donkey balls.

You have to be strong

by troubled mind in

standing up for yourself,and deciding to follow your own path takes strength .

you have to be strong especially if you were raised in a way of life that dictated so much of who you were .

while being raised as a jehovah's witness i was taught to follow ,unquestionally follow .i was told to put others before myself ,serve,don't stand out ,don't be independent .

disposable hero of hypocrisy

Thanks troubled mind, your words came at just the right time for me. Being still in, the indoctrination can still have a hold on me at times. This helped.. Thanks man!
