  by HeyThere in

  i am a newly unbaptised publisher.

  recently i found out i need to have major surgery and the jw's tried to rush a blood card in my hand.

  i was so relieved when the elders said i could not have one until i was baptised.. but they rushed to get me copies of the blood videos.

  HeyThere

  lisarose: my husband has told me he wouldnt want blood. it just pisses me off, this religion just makes stuff up and people follow. for born ins, it is all they know! those blood videos are scary so i can only imagine how frightened children are of blood....and they show this crap to kids! my husbamd is willing to listen about blood...when i first told him i did not believe jw, i asked if he would really let our child die if he needed a blood transfusion. i think that got him thinkimg but that is all he knows, he wont evem set foot in a church or even look at a different bible. the mind control jws have is just nuts.

  HB....i am with you. i would get the blood wothut a doubt. this religion is false...i just hope i can get my h out of the grasp.

  HeyThere

  I was taken off guard by just how the women went on and on about no blood....and the blood videos are so completely biased and graphic! why would they think my 10 year old needed to watch it?!?

  i cqn see how they have themselves cornered. to even have new lite regarding blood would be a huge risk....not only for lawsuits but also leaving the cult. that is a majordoctrine change and could wake many up.

  DF'ed and Confused...

  by Stumbeline in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i think the title pretty much says it all.

  i have a tendancy to be long winded about things, so i'll just give a general introduction and maybe tell things as i go along.

  i don't even really know what i want from this site (ironically i remember jehovahs-witness.net mentioned from the platform as a site not to go to).

  HeyThere

  Sorry you are going thru this. How did they find out you almost had sex?

  My husband was raised a dub...so it is all he knows religion-wise, whichI am sure you are the same and as a result being df'd feels like you are losing everything...but girl, this is not how a loving religion would be....this is not what jesus would do. Explore this site amd the others, such as jwfacts.com....i was on my way to baptism this summer but now there is no way i will be a dub. Educate yourself, analyze your findimgs, and free yourself.

  sending positive thoughts your way....

  i consider myself a christian.

  seriously did not even think that jw was that much different...but now i know better and it has my mind spinning.

  i have stopped answering questions, say my own prayers to god at the meetings, and plastr on a fake smile.

  HeyThere

  i am glad i figured it out when i did...my original goal was to get baptized at the dc this year....and my hubby now knows i am not getting baptised at all. i am already a baptised christian and am holding on to thay, not the.pod people who cant even explain why they are scared of random things, like smurfs. i asked my hubby, what is wrong with smurfs? he didnt know, so he asks his mom. her response "smurfs are bad!" okay, but why are smurfs bad? "they are justbad!"

  well, heck. that doesnt make any smurfin sense!

  What happens to marriages upon the arrival of Armageddon?

  by insearchoftruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a couple of paradise earth questions: .

  1) if you are a married, baptized witness couple (both people being baptized) and armageddon arrives, will the couple still be married on paradise earthtm?

  2) if you are married to an unbelieving mate (ubm) and armageddon arrives, will the witness be free to remarry on paradise earth?.

  Are we all actually "bad / evil / immoral" after leaving the faith?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so recently there have been several posts with references to talks and articles that imply the following:.

  most of those who learn ttatt or fade from the "truth", are actually practicers of bad things, eg immorality, hence that is why 'we' now find fault with the org?.

  i find this so offensive that they imply such.

  HeyThere

  my husband has basically saod the same thing...tbat people who left are mad they couldnt do whatever sinful thing tbey wantd to do....but i disgree completely. i discovefed ttatt before baptism amd have made the choice to not get baptised...and that does not make me a sinner. the true sinneds here are the manipulators playimg with peoples lives amd.family and health with thsor crazy interpretations and made up bible stories.

  sorry for typos my phone is acting up

  poor sod.

  i felt quite sorry for him in the end.. for context, i was brought up as a jw since i was very young.

  i left 6 years ago (faded) a little before turning 30. i was on here a lot around that time but under a different profile that's no longer active.. for the past 18 months, i'm back living in the territory of the congregation i grew up in.
