Howdie!
by Olesatthewheel inevening all.
my first post - born in but faded 15 years ago before that i was pimo for a number of years.. to put it bluntly the whole jw religion/thing is a crock of shit.
i sort of figured this out for myself before i faded but reading posts and comments on this forum confirms this.

"The little one becomes a thousand" The "ingthering" is speeding up!
by stuckinarut2 inheya all!.
over the last few months i've been doing a lot more support work with people who are waking up and exiting the "truth" .
i'm part of a team that receives on average 10 new emails, messages or contact through various means, from ones who have just awoken to the realisation that they have been in a cult!.

Its all of us ex-jws that see the huge ingathering. and how "happyfying" this is!

I managed to help my wife wake up.
The key was to just create and maintain a safe and supportive environment, while very slowly drip feeding small bits of information.
It is so important to not flood someone - as this can often cause a rebound effect as they recoil in defense of the "truth".
Keep introducing fun weekend activities, and slowly break the JW routine...
here is my wife's first post here on the forum after years of slowly helping her to wake up: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5146331746140160/trying-positive

Out of interest, did the audio link play in countries outside of Australia?
I'm not sure if they (ABC radio) made it a regional thing...?

Anney is a wonderful woman who has risen above her JW upbringing, and shares her story in an open interview. Her artwork is beautiful, and will strike a chord with many of us here!

The Baptist version of "Listen Obey and Be Blessed"
by john.prestor inso i share stories from time to time on here from my childhood in a fundamentalist baptist church, which sounds pretty damn similar to some of the stories i read on here from ex-witnesses, the fear and guilt-tripping, the sexual repression, the world being a dark and wicked place, i even went door-to-door once in a while to hand out chick tracts (wish i was kidding) and try to get people to come to our church... so they could pay the pastor's salary, but i digress.
anyway, i don't remember a lot of it because my parents started bringing me to sunday school as soon as i could walk, so on sunday mornings my family dressed up and headed out the door bright and early to services.
my parents stayed upstairs for adult classes and me and my brother went downstairs where all the kids met to sing songs together before we separated for "age-appropriate" activities.

Great thread.
Yes, MANY churches spew out such a controlling narrative:

Awake No. 2 2019 - Way To Destroy Your Childrens Hopes And Dreams Watchtower!
by pale.emperor innot that i spend much time on the cult's website, but i like to skim through their latest propaganda to make sure i'm up to date with their nuttiness.
(and when i say skim, i mean just that.
the wafer thin, dumbed down content can be read in like 2 mins flat).. i just had to share my thoughts on the above piece of trash.. no.

OH wow!
That is simply disturbing!
How hypocritical of the GB who are the very epitome of arrogance and haughtiness!
How dare they write such stuff
