Wow these are great!
It feels like we have got to know one another better while getting an insight into our thinking processes.
just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.
there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.
i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

when we as former witnesses wake up and choose to leave the society, it is mainly because we value truth and honesty.. the society tries to make out that we are in the wrong.
that we have "left the truth".. but, who really holds the burden of proof?
do we (who leave) need to prove that the society is not the "truth", or does the society need to prove that it is the "truth".. thoughts?.
Great comments.
I really appreciated the way you expressed your idea too Island Man!

Welcome amicabl!
Its great to have you here!
this 5 minute ted video perfectly explains what a cult it.
it does not mention jws, but perfectly aligns with them.
it is put in a manner that would make some understand why jws are considered a cult.
So true jwfacts!
As witnesses we thought we were so "educated"!
so the next time you are in a group of witnesses and discussion about a sad event where people died occurs (such as a car accident, natural disaster etc), just casually say:.
" oh well, that's a few less people jehovah has to kill at armageddon.....so don't be upset!...at least they now get a resurrection".
that will make witnesses think!.

The society tries to make out that WE are in the wrong. That WE have "left the truth".
But, who really holds the burden of proof?
Do WE (who leave) need to prove that the Society is not the "truth", or does the Society need to prove that it IS the "truth".
Thoughts?
