How do you feel you have progressed ?

by stuckinarut2 in

in the months or years since leaving the organization, how do you think you have progressed as a person?.

(or if you have regressed too i guess?).

what aspects of personal development are you happy with?.

stuckinarut2

Wow. All the comments shared here are so heartening!

There seems to be a real theme of all of us becoming kinder, less judgemental of others, and HAPPY.

Please keep the comments coming.

For any lurkers or newcomers to this forum, please feel free to share. Also, please see that as we all grow apart from the infantilised state of being under the control of the Society, life gets oh so much better!

Kingdom Hall ... BURGER KING?

by sparky1 in

i live in a very rural part of the northeastern united states.

after 9 years of waiting, the local witnesses are getting their new kingdom hall.

it is being built on a back road next to a sandpit.

And, here is the Society's very own example of the new "fast-food" style KHalls:

So, I did a thing ... Shunned VIDcast #1 - Secrets - Jehovah's Witnesses and Cult Life

by dubstepped in

alright, many of you know me from the this jw life and shunned podcasts along with my inane ramblings on here.

i just made my first video and put myself out there on youtube along with my podcast episodes that are on there now.

i put my podcast audio up on there as videos and new people are subscribing and finding it through that.

stuckinarut2

Every new video and activist helps expose the cult more and more!

I say, everyone should take the plunge in some way, shape or form!

Thanks for the inspiration Mike!

This year’s convention

by lastmanstanding in

two things i noted at this year’s rc.

1) the new teaching with respect to matthew 25:45 which was applied equally to the rank & file jw.

this teaching is also found in the watchtower study for last sunday.. then he will answer them, saying: ‘truly i say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.. 2) the new armageddon video which was a big shift.

stuckinarut2

Oh the manipulative propaganda keeps getting spewed out.

Thanks for the thread lastmanstanding

The urban legends we heard as JWs!

by stuckinarut2 in

how often have we heard some sort of sensationalist urban legend as jws?.

here is an example i was told as a kid:.

the experience of a sister who knocked on a door and was greeted by a big fierce looking man- intimidating and mean.

stuckinarut2

Oh wow!

SO MANY of these "Experiences" have been heard by people in other religions over the years!

I listen to lots of Podcasts, and many Mormons report these every same "experiences"!

The one about the "groceries on the back porch", or the "receiving of exactly the sum of money needed to pay for gas that day", right down to the one about "Angelic protectors standing behind a sister"

So, I wonder now, how many COs or DOs back in the days before the internet simply "Borrowed" these "experiences" and used them during their grandstanding assembly talks!?!?!
