What did you become after leaving Jehovah's Witnesses?

hey guys,.

so, since my leaving i have been doing so much research on so many topics that it's been extremely enlightening.

not only have i learned a lot about the organization and what motivates it, but i have also learned a lot about the bible, god and most importantly, myself.. currently, i'm not quite sure where i stand, but i'm having some real issues with the bible and god.

I went to school and didn't stop til I had a Masters Degree. During that time, I went on to building a career and a life I could enjoy and be proud of instead of wasting it spreading pulp fiction around.

JWs and the making of many books

by Magnum in

ecc 12:12 - "to the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion [to them] is wearisome to the flesh.".

i just never could keep up with all the jw reading material.

as a zealous jw, it was my desire to read every word published by the org, but i just couldn't do it.

The problems and dumbing down of the flock by inundating them with all that reading material is now further compounded by their encouragement to now print the magazines at home and study them.

What a collosal waste of bandwidth and ink!!!

just wanted to share with my friends, old and new, i got married to an "unbeliever" 11 years ago.. at the weekend we had our marriage blessed in our local parish church with a little party after.. my husband always supported my religious convictions until i disassociated myself in december 2013.. don't deprive yourself of love just because of the jw's.

life is too short.. god bless.

I remember sitting at an assembly with my wife and listening to a demo about a woman giving her experience about her beginning to fall for a man that was showing her a little attention. I remember her saying that after thinking about it, she came to her senses pretty quick.

I couldn't help thinking, as I was looking at her overweight body, pushing 40 and not particularly attractive character, that she'd better get ready to be alone for the rest of her life if that was to be her attitude.

Even the older single "brotha's" in the halls, from my perception, were waiting for that young tight body sister to graduate.

....and she was far from it.

I remember posting a link to this video on an anti-JW board on belief.net. The post was removed by a board administrator who was a JW apologist who'd weasled their way into being assigned a moderator. Her excuse was that the video contained too much profanity.

Is the preaching work, no longer the number 1 priority?

by ToesUp in

i have been observing a pattern in recent wtbs publications and events.

is the importance of the preaching activity no longer the number 1 priority?

are not billions of lives still at stake?.

I have been associated with JW-dom through my wife for the full 30 years of our marriage. In all that time, as much as her and her family cling to whatever the organization says, none, to my knowledge, has NEVER brought a study they've started all the way to baptism.

And the studies the few of them do engage in are complete mental cases typically looking for secondary support systems they can move on to.

This organization is to the point where it is running on inertia so its no surprise, now, that it would appear to be all about caring for and amassing material assets.

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..

Yes.....

They don't want you to go to school and develop the very skills they're ready to use you for.

Need to vent: Wife just went in full cult mode, huge fight. she is so brainwashed

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.
