  Did you AWAKEN from the JWs by yourself?

  i was thinking about how so many posters here on jwn are frustrated and frantic to help their loved ones get away from the brainwashing of jws, and how much advice is given about how to help family members and loved ones.

  i considered my own leaving and that it was internal turmoil based on the teachings getting weirder and child abuse issues, to name just a few, and it made me wonder:.

  did you self-awaken or were you assisted by the gentle proddings of a friend or family member?

  Illegal immigrants in the organization?

  by silent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had a thought today that might prove interesting.

  i'm wondering if there are any illegal immigrants who are witnesses?

  surely it would be a great position to be in as an illegal immigrant because you could play up your plight and prey on the sympathies of others within the congregation.

  i know many have suffered to varying degrees at the hands of this cult.

  one of the first casualties is our self- esteem.

  our awakening takes us all on different paths.

  my situation right now is trying that how my friend and parents that the jw's are not the true religion.

  i've shown numerous examples of flip flopped doctrine, false predicions, the validity of the jesus choosing the bible students in 1919 and more.

  but it seems that although the recognize these mistakes they ask me, "aren't you happy the organization is making progress?

  Are you an "out of the closet" atheist?

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm atheist and not ashamed of it.

  however, it is so politically incorrect, especially where i live.

  i have a legitimate concern that being out of the closet too much will hurt my career or neighborly relations--i know for a fact it probably would.. i'm really cautious about who i tell.. how about you?

  Today's WT study!. Watch out for the "wicked" in the cong!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  how strange today's study was!.

  warning examples of apostacy, and saying to all witnesses "watch for bad associations in the cong".

  talk about paranoia and distrust amongst themselves!.
