  Avoid Going back to the JW's - Educate Yourself about Mind Control

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've talked with some good friends on the board about this before and we seem to be in agreement : one reason ( among many ) that some disfellowshipped jw's go back and return to the wt organization is because they are full of uneeded guilt or uneeded fear because they haven't educated themselves about how the wt society uses mind control tactics to deceive them into thinking they have " nowhere else to go " .

  i understand that some dfed ones may go back to the organization for family and friends- however- it's an exrecise in futility because once you learn the truth about the truth you cannot undo what you heard.

  so some may just go back and live a fake jw life to appease family- but just think of how that can damage a person's emotional and mental health playing the fake jw game the rest of their lives !

  I'm going to continue to do my best!

  She ( my wife ) will allow me to read to her from a variety of sources.

  We're going to start with OTWO's book today.

  Do you ever get frustrated and feel dirty after sharing experiences on JWN?

  it's a giant boil on my butt, thinking how long we all were tricked by a cult.

  reading so many of our fellows threads, it help's reinforce we made the correct choice in mentally or physically leaving the watchtower's path to truth, they never had it and nobody can prove they did!

  ray franz jr. came to that conclusion, even he had to accept "this is not the best of all relgions, in fact, it's on the bad side!

  Today was just a nice day. All one could hope for, really.

  This will take time.

  It took me nearly 4 years to be where I am right now

  The conversation was intense.

  First I read from pages 77-79 of C of C and then spoke about the FACT that one man had been running the ORG from 1874-1976, not a GB.

  That was enough for her for one day...

  I don't listen.

  This is a rarity.

  I am being respectfully quiet while she listens.

  I'm listening now.

  This is crazy.

  Little snippets of chaos.
  It's like no one is confident in what they are saying, so they try to over explain to make it sound believable.

  Little bit...

  I can't believe we believed all that.

  Listening to the comments during the bookstudy and hearing my old "friends" speak is a little spooky, I must admit.

  Don't worry though, she only keyed in "1 listener", so I'm not actually in attenedence.
