at least i have this forum.
is there a shorthand for referring to this website?
saying jehovahs-witness.com seems like a long winded way..
This is amazing. Keep it coming.
My wife is at the meeting, now. I don't have what it takes to listen in on the phone. The culty comments are very depressing. My wife makes them, too.

I wonder if people that have eyes open during the prayer are wise to TTATT? I went from eyes closed for 23 years, open for 2 and then a strong fade.
i'm looking for some clever comebacks.
i really don't care that i am an apostate, but would like to deliver a quick comeback or two to perhaps make the other person think.
any suggestions most welcome.
Those were my two!
hey all,.
i was just thinking back to the first time i found this awesome forum...years before i eveni joined up and starting posting myself.. i was so encouraged and happy to see that i was not alone!
i was not the only one who was observing the org, and all of its aspects and thinking "seriously?
Nothing but help here. I appreciate it very much.
It's nice to know that when we are experiencing pain from our lives associated with Watchtower there will be support from fellows.
hey everyone, this is my first post.
i was contacted by the witnesses in1965, baptized in that same year at age 15. i was appointed an elder in 1975 and served as an elder for 20 years..
it hasnt been long since i learn ttatt and when i totally woke up.
Welcome.
Our experiences are so amazing, they HAVE to be true. You can't make this stuff up!
need a list of people like cain, lot, david, etc who did things they should have been put to death for but jah forgave, excused or turned a blind eye to.
thanks for any info.. .
I'm enjoying your posts.
We need to catch up.
i have recently joined the site.
i was just appointed an elder this summer.
i started discovering the ttatt (the truth about the truth) last year after putting a few things together myself concerning the leadership and then doing some research online.. i really enjoyed jwfacts.com, jwsurvey, and others.
Excellent story and replies.
this just came to me, must have been mentioned before, right?.
the name of the group is a lie!!.
we all announced and taught that we were "jehovah's witnesses".. i'm struggling to find more words right now..
out of the blue my wife started to ask me about my feeling about the borg.
i told her i didn't want to talk about it...she persisted.
she already knows how i feel, i told her that my biggest beef is that they use mind control, and yep she went in to how i was an apostate and how she doesn't want to be married to an apostate.
I'm very sorry to hear of this development.
This was my fear.
I hope this works out.
i've always been a "spiritual" person.
i've been an avid bible reader since as early as i can remember.
i read the bible cover to cover for the first time when i was about 17 years old and have read it at least twice more since then.
Welcome!
Research is key to successfully undoing the effects of brainwashing/mind control. I must have been spending 3-6 hours a day for a number of months until finding new topics to cover became more effort.
Proving to yourself, using the passage of time and the WT publications as tools makes it simple to show what WT really is.
PM's are of course, always welcome.
wow, what a surprise that was!.
i expected a warm welcome, as this was someone i have known for a very long time.. nope, uber disfellowshipped jw.
totally caught me off guard.
In my mind, I expected her to be happy to see me and thrilled to hear that I also am not attending. Boy, was I wrong.
The replies here seem to indicate this mindset she has is likely normal. Really sad to see the darker side of mind control.
