  Paranoia after today's Watchtower

  by Truthexplorer in

  boy oh boy did i feel paranoid at today's wt.

  not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.

  this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.

  "WT's methods break the spirit, stop the growth & often kill the person!"

  We are seeing so many JW's that are on prescription meds and an over abundance of alcohol to deal with problems they are having. When they go to the Elders for assistance, they are told to go to meetings more, more field service, etc. You always need to do more! Nothing is EVER good enough! These ones are not getting the professional help they need so badly. If they left this destructive cult and received professional help maybe they would have a chance. Sad!

  My First Birthday.....

  2. experiences

  i awoken today and realised immidiately i'm 44 today... and after 3 years of being out, decided to acknowledge my birthday.... i'm off out to treat myself to a big hearty breakfast with cup of tea in the local weatherspoon's by the massive pond full of weird bird-life, later today i'm giving myself a gift of a 90 minute relaxation session in a float tank down by canary wharf in london.... only really have 2 close friends (it's a slow process trusting people agian) and they probably won't be able to see me today, but i'm sure i'll have a belated surprise from them both.... the first thing i did when i remembered was to rush to the computer, connect to the web and put on stevie wonder's 'happy birthday', as i listen to it, tears stream down my face... all those years of my life stolen ' but..... i'm free....'.

  Plea to Governing Body and those with influence!

  by Truthexplorer in

  this is a long shot to those with influence at bethel, particularly the governing body.

  if you happen to be a lurker on this site.

  please take into account the feelings of those who are affected or even hurting because of current teachings and policies emanating from watchtower.

  LostGen is100% correct.The best you can have an impact is to quit donating. Money and power make this thing tick. Vote with your wallets and go and live a happy and successful life!

  Wow...he is making great progress. Glad he is removing his head from the sand. Move slow. The ones trying to "connect" with him could possibly pull him back in. Keep him busy (fun things) and be as loving and kind as possible. Others will try to interfere.

  Keep us updated on his progress! Hugs!

  Redefining "fair"

  in light of all the reassignments, i can't help but feel that this directed to those who gave their lives and now are being kicked out.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uou-fbkg0y.

  There is a well known fact at Bethel that the Bethel heavies like to squabble over the rooms they are assigned. So...if the GB are "assigned" an average room with no lake view (Warwick) are they going to complain that it's just not fair? I think we all know the GB will receive the most holy rooms! HYPOCRITES!!!

  Just watched it. These are the things that confirm that we were 200% right in our decision to leave this despicable cult!

  Too bad Watchtower...it's just not fair that your donations are down and people are leaving in droves. But remember what you said in the video..."don't be so sensitive."

  Hilarious Whatsapp message received - FIRST day after Big D

  a hilarious stupid wa message is being circulated amongst jws in my area / country.. i had a hearty laugh at the ignorance and stupidity and brainwashed mentality, different people may express different emotions so you have been warned.

  day one after armageddon it seems ages since we last heard the gunshots and screams, today has been really quiet.

  the last few weeks have been sheer terror.
