well i'll be darned.
serves 'em right.
man does that put a smile on my face.'.
the witnesses that are still asleep and have not woken up have an i.q. of 80. this includes my wife, who at things other than the witchcraft borg is pretty smart.
she suffers from congnitive dissonance, but doesn't realize it.
AGHHHHHHHHHHHH I hate this freaking cult of a religion. the worst mistake i have ever made in my life was getting involved.

while there are not too many currently defending the watchtower in this discussion forum, it happens from time to time.
and quite often, there may be new people and lurkers reading these discussions.
i just wanted you to ponder these questions.
committeechairman, why are you here? this "religion" is a cult!!!! you can't deny this fact. are you like me? going thru the motions.....stuck in a place where you can't get out of or here to taunt the people who are out or want out.
I just want to live my life, free to believe what i want. celebrate what i want....and i guarantee. if an elder approaches me and questions me. I have no problem telling to go fuck themselves.
you see, you are here for a reason....i suggest you don't sit on the fence and play both sides. Man up and choose which side your on. if your up there preaching, you are lying to yourself and blood guilty for lying to the people.
Grow a pair and quit being a pharisee.

so, i was reading combating cult mind control....and i was just thinking: since i've been doing research and learning about the false doctrines of the wtbs and others who are still asleep.
the more i accept that all is not right, the more i see the depression that many in the org.
are going through, the more i see the "human" side of things, the more i compare the average uber dub to the average mainstream christian.....the more i recognize how this cannot be jah's organazation.
congrats on learning TTATT.....you did not mention if you are married or have children. if so, you will have rough waters ahead. before trying to teach the zombies. i recommend listening to this segment on youtube. it is cultfreeradio.

this was inspired by terry's thread.... it is something that raises many questions about the jw belief system.. .
for one thing - the bible certainly explains all the details of the christ birth.
it certainly does not tell people to avoid celebrating it with feasts, customs, etc.
It's not a sin nor is it wrong. look up the meaning behind pinatas and then read the article below:
Piñatas I read with interest the article “The Piñata—An Ancient Tradition.” (September 22, 2003) It left me with some questions. The ties to false religion are well-documented. But the article seemed to take the position that as long as it doesn’t bother someone’s conscience, it is OK. What about birthdays and holidays such as Christmas?
JW's are two-faced bastards.
I wish I had never gotten involved in this cult/religion.
GTTM
it is killing me now that i am awake, having kids in school and having to be jws.
birthdays, christmas, thanksgiving, having to go home or be left out because their teachers know they are witnesses and/or have kids from the school in their class or grade.
it's a small town so the other jws in the hall know what's going on since their kids are in the same school.
WOW, i wish my wife was like your husband. You are in a good situation. If possible...........move to another location and start your lives over again.

so recently, several over-righteous ones in the cong were discussing "how amazing it felt when they got baptised".
statements like "how awesome did it feel as you got raised back out of the water?!".
or the classic "i felt so close to jehovah as i came out of the pool"!.
wet and disappointed......worst mistake of mylife.
thought i was going to get baptized in the name of the father, son and holy spirit
Good thing i dont consider it a real baptism!!!!!!!!!!!!
GTTM
i work about a block from the local kh and i notice there was no jw.org sign on it.
i said to my wife are they not following the cults rules on this.
will just yesterday as i was driving home from work there it was on the corner of the kh sign jw.org it was about 1 foot x 1 foot in size.
like one the way out,,,i turn my head the other way. i get a disgusted feeling inside me, and think of the worst mistake i ever made in my life. shite, there it goes again...that feeling. Got to stop thinking about it.
this cult will destroy my marriage and family. It sucks, knowing a train is coming down the tracks and no way to get off.
Damn it all to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone please help me!!!!!!!!!!! grant me one wish is all i ask.......please, please , please, please. I wish i never did join this cult!!! is all i wish.
GTTM
i was baptized at the 1976 "sacret secret" dc at inglewood ca there must have been 50,000 people there..
The wrong one....i should have never got baptized...It was/is the biggest mistake of my life. I feel it will eventually kill my marriage.
why? because my wife is so brain washed!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is a sad situation, knowing the enevitable will happen. just trying to enjoy my marriage now.
she will never come around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it sucks.
