  Rejoice cos God's tent is.... Disintegrated by a cat 5 truth storm

  by Normalfulla in

  just had to share... a former friend of my wife's, has just left our house, unbeknown to us, her and her husband have been inactive for about a year and a half, they have pre teen boys too.

  she reached out to my wife as she had heard that we were apostates etc and needed someone to talk to.. .

  after her father dying she was in a bad place mentally and emotionally and reached out to her cong for support, apon receiving 0 she turned to the bible for comfort only in her raw emotional state to realize that jehovah was a murderous unfair god and then her wheels of rational reasoning started turning.. she questioned things and was outspoken about things and attracted elder attention... long story short she wanted to connect with a friendly ear and she splurged she's never going back, the bible is all bulls**t and it's a cult, despite not knowing most of ttatt we all shared experiences and watched her eyes boggle at (stuckinarut... the first euphoric high) the un scandal, beth sarim, ray franz, 607, arc.

  These are the experiences that excite us!!! When you no longer attend meetings and can not see with your physical eye, the decline, it constantly makes you wonder what is going on inside.I can see on this forum and others that people ARE waking up. When you are still in the cult and you experience the lack of love it shatters you. Once you learn TTATT and find out you were in a cult, your jaw hits the floor.

  It's cool that you were there for them. I couldn't have done this exit alone, it's tough.

  Great news!!! Thank you for sharing.

  Withdrawing community support in the congs

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've noticed in the past 10 years that the social support that used to be available in the congs, a shoulder to cry on, elders to help with family/marriage issues these seem to have been purposely withdrawn.

  counsel is even heard from the platform that the elders are not there to help people with their problems.. so first in the 80s-90s they take away the congregation get to getters and social events and now they seem to be going one step further in taking away the emotional support for people too.. this will take away an aspect that i'm sure was keeping alot of people in the borg, the community support.

  if that's not there and its just about meetings and ministry how many will start to get their emotional support elsewhere?.

  We received zero emotional support several years ago. A real wake up call!!! The Elders couldn't even show a bit of concern for our family. I would like to personally thank them all. We wouldn't be here today (out of the cult) if it wasn't for the "loving concern from the Elder body." lol

  You Know You're Starting To Wake Up When...

  you start listening to music deemed "unsuitable for christians".

  you pretend to knock on the doors.

  you explain a jw teaching to someone and realize how ridiculous it sounds.

  That is a beautiful site!!!! Maybe WT will sell it to a church. They sold ours to a church a couple of years ago. Let's see....I can't do any work for a church and it's up to my conscience if I want to go to a wedding or funeral at a church but it's ok for WT to sell a dedicated KH to a church? You just can't make this sh*t up!!!!

  so why do i need a pep talk ?

  We dodged em for years. Didn't answer the door, let messages go to voice mail, never responded to notes left in door, etc.

  Eventually they will get the point. If you bump into one, just tell them that you are doing fine and if you need them, you know how to get in touch with them.

  You DO NOT owe them anything. Enjoy the reunion and if they piss you off after that, LET EM HAVE IT!!! LOL
