  Behold the face of indoctrination! My moms guilt tripping letter to me.

  i wish i knew what it was like to have an unconditionally loving mother.

  i know she loves me and cares about me, but only within her narrow wt spectrum.

  if i do not meet her narrow expectations, i am a failure to her.

  Yes, my mother wrote me a note similar to this lately. It really can be depressing if you allow it to be. Just "duke it out" and make efforts to discretely share seeds of doubt.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are "not even wrong" and here is why.

  a magician can demonstrate an empty hat from which, seconds later, he pulls a rabbit.

  a rabbit in that empty hat?

  in pre-enlightenment times, the easy answer was: magic was real--but--it was accomplished.

  CONGRATS ON MAKING IT OFFICIAL, DA will be a clean cut for you. There is pretty much very little worries about having to see elders ever again. However, fading has advantages for others in your contact. Either way, enjoy your freedom....and thanks for sharing the great news.

  It's Over Johnny....The Demise of Jehovah's Witnesses

  i think i've mentioned before that from time to time my commute on the bqe takes me past the old factory buildings and the soon to be former headquarters building.

  i was struck the other day with how shabby they've become.

  even 25 columbia heights, still currently occupied, its facade is filthy.

  Do you feel bad throwing away literature?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.

  what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.

  if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.

  I just throw them away. Guilt is a product of watchtower that I've mentally left behind!

  The difference between old school dubs and modern dubs - and the GB 2.0

  by TheListener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  old school witnesses thrived on the fact they were different and persecuted for it.

  it was a point of pride.. i think the whole witness experience is much more social based for younger and newer witnesses.

  that may be why so many newer ones that come to this board cannot understand or accept some of the information we present here about how things "used to be".

  I'm one of the younger members here. (Early twenties) I do remember the older rules, I've also read of them before even lurking here. Don't be so dim on the youth.......they may be baptizing them at nine; but many will wake up later!

  ok guys, this is long, so i am sorry, but i think it is important to publish.

  this is a glimpse into a 4 page letter (love that song) from my uber elder uncle.

  as some of you may know i got tired of being in an email chain and finally lost it and lashed out.

  I browsed through about 90 percent of your published material. I agree with DOC, don't waste your time, or risk your fade with too much of a reply. Just simply thank him for his concern, and tell him you will prayerfully consider his points. (and don't follow up to his future contacts)
