family worship night is a boring, depressing, stifling, watchtarded indoctrination/brainwashing session.
it never ends.
like all things wt, there is no end in sight.
freemindfade...i hear you...same with me and my wife. big fights when we study or go to the washtowel meeting.
i told her that family study will only be done from the bible. . she is sooooooo blind and brainwashed.
she is smart when she is in authentic mode...but under cult mode....she is dumb has a rock.
joining this cult was the worse mistake of my life...if i could turn back time.

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.

so i joined very recently and began posting and commenting without a formal intro.
been reading for a while, decided it was time to jump in.
mentally i am completely cleansed of this thing, but still have to maintain a minimal involvement for spouse and family.
i am ditto with one eyed joe...welcome.

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.

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.
what an inspiration!!!!!
i am seeking advice on a good book that directly targets the jw mind with the same caliber of knowledge has a steve hassan book.. worse mistake of my life was joining this cult...if i could turn back time!!.

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.
Run from him...find a normal person!

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?
.
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..

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.
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.
