i personally would like to see they get the very best but haven't a clue how to do it what are your benevolent words of wisdom, should a person do a deep research on his own a kind of self medication or should they brush up on some psychology,, who should they trust because after you leave you got big trust issues.. i don't know about you but to me it was a real shocker, i was totally into getting their worthless bull shit out of my head.
i choose the self medicate path and did as must research as time would allow,, science was a biggie for me, it was enjoyable learning to get so much bull shit out of my head..
I agree that communities like this amazing forum are absolute life savers during and after the awakening period.
It truly is "an interchange of encouragement" (see what I did theređ)
Also, seeing a good counsellor who specialises in helping people who are escaping high control situations is priceless..
These steps help us to see that we are NOT ALONE.
i wasn't entirely sure what to expect when i made the decision to tell my parents how i really feel, but i was prepared for the worst, fortunately, it didn't come to that.
after i told them i didn't want to go to the meetings anymore it led to a long talk with them.
they made a number of irksome and woefully uninformed statements but at least they were not aggressive and have said that they won't force me to move out over this, though, i can tell they are hoping they can convince me to "accept the truth," as long as i still live with them.
Wow...so sorry to hear.
Do you have someone or somewhere safe you can go?

kids are going to be shown something which demonstrates that the org condones watching disturbing horror content.
the "direction" the wtbts is taking is breathtaking.
Yes, this video is yet another shockingly disturbing proof that the GB have lost their minds!
Like children with a new toy, they are obsessed with using their video technology- BUT have not thought it through before doing so....
if jehovahs witnesses are using the wrong name of god "jehovah" how would that affect your worship ?.
2. if yahweh is the more correct name of god of the bible how does that affect your worship ?.
3.jehovahs witnesses put great emphasis on gods name ,sanctifying it treating it as "holy" and that jehovahs witnesses are to make it known in all the earth .
As G Jackson said in a recent broadcast, we don't exactly know what the correct pronunciation is!
So witnesses have had it wrong for decades!
just had to share this - it was posted on reddit.

JohnFree, your comments were spot on!
maybe it's complete in light of this sundays wt study...âwhat you vow, payâ.
it is all about paying your vows and especially focuses on three types.. 1 your dedication vow (baptism).
2 your marriage vow.
Funny too how the society completely overlooks the part "Let your YES mean YES"
Now how many times have their "yes" directions and predictions proven to be untrue, or changed as "new light"?

Ah well...of course monetary help is rarely given to regular members of the congregation in need. (Say a regular one who is just trying to live a normal life)
Only if one is a popular appointed member (pioneer or elder) would that happen...and only as a private arrangement. NEVER an offical cong sponsored event.

âThe God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.â
â Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
