A Mind at War

by cappytan in

right now, i feel like my mind is at war with itself.. on the one side is reason, logic.. on the other is tradition, hope and fear.. reason and logic are challenging life-long beliefs.

they are telling me, "is this any more believable than the story of the lord of the rings?".

certain doctrines of my belief system are crumbling.. my mind still wants to hold on to the belief in a creator, his son jesus and the bible.

YOLO...why live like that....i am in the same situation, but time is running out and my issue will come to head.

it's funny you say the watchtower is like the lord of the rings. because it have often compared it to it in my mind. how funny LOL.

don't let the war wage...there are more important things in life to worry about insignificant, mindcontrolling cults.

if your wife truely loves you, she will follow. it's has simple has that!!!!!

start seeing a counselor...they are very helpful.

joining this cult was the worse mistake of my life...if i could turn back time

Separated from a loveless Marriage

by PLAYGROUND in

i don't know where to start.

i got married a year and half ago.

some months into the marriage things where discovered.

Learn TTATT and RUN!!!! I have been marriage for 24 years, get got involved in this cult 6 years ago and now it' s destroying my marriage. my wife is in full cult mode and obviously your wife is too and possibly you are partially awake (no pun intended).

be happy you haven't wasted 20, 30 years in a loveless marriage. you can't make someone love you, that plan and simple. go see and cult counselor and get out of the beast.

Tomorrow will be one of the PROUDEST days of my life.

by nicolaou in

iv'e been posting here a long time but here's something i never shared before .

i'm still a window cleaner.

i'm not going to rant at the 'society' because they don't own my anger anymore but my work is certainly a legacy of my cult past.

1st POST: A romance with a JW

by myangelface in

i am not a jw ...however i began having bible studies (i d call them watchtower studies).

i was beginning to get lured in and brainwashed into accepting the religion as the true religion...but something inside of me told me there was something odd.

some time passes and i was invited to a meeting and i accepted.

What is the biggest regret or source of resentment because of being a Jehovahs Witness?

by stuckinarut2 in

i'm sure we could all write long paragraphs about this question, but in a few words, what is your biggest regret, or frustration in life due to being a witness?.

what missed opportunities did it cost you?

.

goingthruthemotions

joining this cult in 2008 was the biggest mistake...i have taken so much from my children. enjoying holidays. my kids are young enough to change this. it will cause a strain on my marriage, but when i fully reject the cult. My marriage will be over! that why i started counseling.

i have always encourage them to go to college, they participate in school activities and both do martial arts as well as i do..

What is truth?

by Heisenberg in

well, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.

i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.

they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.

goingthruthemotions

Spoke like a true JWombie....the B.I.T.E model is in full effect. hope one day you see the light.

your treading on dangerous ground being on a apostate site.

nothing you say is going to change us....were more apt to open you eyes.

Remember...once you learn TTATT...you can't undo it.

Counsellor needed please!

by stuckinarut2 in

jw
friends

hi all.. i have noticed that many of our forum members have sought professional help from counsellors who deal with ones like us who have broken free from high control groups or "cults".. my self esteem has been rocked by recent events in the cong, and while i know ttatt it still has taken my joy in life away quite a bit.. as you all know, mentally i broke free from the org several years ago, but now that i am trying to start making the physical break, i feel really unsettled and nervous.. i wonder if a good counsellor could assist in helping me clarify and sort my feelings and emotions , and provide help to take practical steps to cut all ties with the org?.

if anyone can provide ideas of good counsellors, it would be appreciated.. thanks everyone!.

goingthruthemotions

Stuck...i just started see my councellor. i find it easier to talk with a woman than a man, and she knows who the jwdubs are and she agrees they are a cult. when i found her she targets stuff like life coaching and religion issues. she has been very helpful. they won't solve your problem for you. but, they will give a non judgemental listening ear and advice on what they think might be the best path to take. but, ultimately it boils down to me.

also i am prepping for maybe the enivitible divorce....once i stop going and fully reject the cult. i have already rejected it. right now i am just going thru the motions. my wife has told me she will choose the BORG over me.

i have always given her unconditional love and support...but i guess nothing like the washtowel will give.

well atleast she will get the support and unconditional love she thinks they will give her.

but like i said, i find it easier to talk with a woman and life coach counsellor.
