Love your work dubstepped!
Thankyou for all the effort you have put into it all!
for those that don't know, i recently did a podcast series called this jw life outlining my life before, during, and after the cult.
i made it with outsiders in mind so that anyone could understand what life as one of jehovah's witnesses is like and what it does to people.
i posted about it as each episode came out, but i know that new people will see this and hope that it might help more people as time goes by, so i will post about it every so often to reach out to those that can find help processing their lives or that want to help outsiders to understand what it was like in one cohesive story.. tomorrow i will release episode 2 of my new podcast called “shunned”.
Love your work dubstepped!

the bible's viewpoint .
war.
What??
That article condemns the false religious, non Jehovah worshipping nations for crimes like "incest"??!!??
Um, hang on...what about Lot? Hmmm?
Im sure we can think of MANY OTHER deplorable activities carried out by "Gods chosen people"?
i regularly check in to see what's happening but i'm not here like i used to be.. are you here every day?
are you here as much as before?.
Daily....
I enjoy the interactions, and appreciate everyone's input.
This wonderful community was a life line when I first awoke to TTATT! Especially before my wife also awoke. I found the ability to share thoughts and even to vent very cathartic.
I am very appreciative of the support and help this community provided me!
I hope too that I may have been able to assist others who went through similar life situations.
I understand that we all grow, and that the nature and content of our posts change as we develop into "normal" people and become "ex-ex witnesses"
Some of the ones who were very helpful in my early days have moved on and we don't see them here anymore... but I miss them and wish them well.
so i finally decided to start writing a book on exiting jehovah's witnesses.
i've been meaning to do this for a very long time.
there are so many books out there and i don't want to repeat what everyone else has written.. although the book will include some basic history of jehovah's witnesses and the usual doctrinal flaws, it's core audience are those who are thinking about leaving, in the process of leaving or have already left.. the book will contain case studies of people who've left and made a success of their life.
Looking forward to this!
Great idea
we know that the hebrew scriptures, or old testament states that the practice of circumcision (of males) was supposed to be yet another sign that set the jews apart from the "people of the nations".
but apart from so many odd things, how dumb is this?.
i mean, how did someone know if a male was circumcised or not??
Vw.org: I was born with out eyelids. So when I got circumcised, the surgeon grafted the foreskin to my eyes to make eyelids. Now I have very good foresight.
Haha funny!
So does that mean that when it is cold, your eyelids shrink?
Or if you are "happy", do your eyelids enlarge?😉
the title was a joke but i going to tell a story that happend to me a a meeting.. there was a brother giving a talk now from my other post there are like 4 teens and 10 or more kids 5 to 8.now the brother just said now most of you kids will be getting asked have you lost your virginity.now all the teens are 13 like more or a year older you havent had sex but they dont care.. but the young kids most likey just asked there mom and dad when they got home ''mom dad whats my virginity''?.
just my god man what the fuck where you thinking when writeing that..
Yes, I can thank the Society and the Meetings for teaching me as a very young child about Biblically ACCEPTABLE things such as:
Incest
Child brides / Sex slavery
Prostitution
Genocide
Slavery
Baby murder
etc....
im starting a counter-watchtower magazine for everyone to give to their jw friends and family or just to give to those that come to your door.
the first issue is about the history of pyramidology of c.t.
russel and under the start of rutherford along with some other things like pointing out the fact that no one knows the translators of the nwt or writers of the watchtower, "the two very things relied on to teach you".. its writen in such a way to be very repectful but to make the reader think, and hopefully the light come on.
I look forward to seeing this when finished...
i know wifibandit will post the pdf soon, this is just a snack for you guys and girls.... .
THEY DARE TO BROACH THE TOPIC OF CHILD ABUSE.??
Oh wow....their arrogance is offensive!
This is a clear attempt at re-framing the issue and deflecting the attention from the REAL facts at hand....
Manipulation and propaganda at its finest.....
how often did we as witnesses say something like this : "unlike members of false religion, who venerate or worship through statues or idols, we give our focus to jehovah!".
members of religious groups focus their religious adoration via an image or statue.
they do this in order to provide some sort of focus to their need to worship.. witnesses give extreme focus on the name "jehovah" .
Oh PE! Those pictures make my spine crawl!!
Oh wow....what has this organisation become since we all left?
https://www.openmindsfoundation.org/loving-memory-laura-ann-gracey-father-remembers/.
the death toll from watchtower increases with the latest suicide report of laura ann gracey.
here, her father recounts the events leading up to his daughter's taking of her own life - undoubtedly starting with her indoctrination from birth into this stifling, doomsday cult.. i see many similarities to myself as laura.
Beautiful thread, and touching comments WakeMe! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, that link is indeed so disturbing on so many levels....I'm left speechless to be honest. There should be an investigation into the events that led up to that poor woman feeling that there was no option other than overdosing.... why was she left so vulnerable that she felt that the only option was such a permanent step....
Is the organisation responsible in some way? Are those elders bloodguilty?
Your personal comments also resonate. With your new awareness, your little one will be privileged to be raised with a balanced and healthy view of life!
