Are we participants in this forum because of bouts of "loneliness"?

by Wonderment in

i wonder how many of us here hold on to this meeting place out of "loneliness.

could it be that we harbor feelings of "abandonment" and "loneliness" from being left cold and dry by the wt people and our families?

perhaps we do have a need to reach out to people with similar experiences.

i was introduced to this site in 2010.

i was brought up in the cult from age 10 till i quit at 23. i eventually came to terms with the loss of my kids to it.

many years passed by--till i found out my older son had been d/f--and i was worried about him. eventually--i found him--through facebook--and also discovered this brave new apostate world. my son has no interest in the cult--and even less in the xjw world either. hes moved on.

it is true i lead a very lonely--isolated life--and this site in many ways is a social online contact resource. i have no interest in anything bible-related--in fact i stop reading as soon as any scripture is quoted.

i really like reading life stories of others who have found their way out.

Building layoffs & JW calendar 2016 theme

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

the theme of the jw calendar 2016 is building, building, building.

all the calendar pictures are about building wts property with cheap labor witnesses.. and then, just before the year approaches the building has halted.. it seems a short term decision.

a strange correlation again.. gorby.

i dont suppose most dubs even know about any of the cutbacks. untill the COBE tells them.

Can a baptism be annulled?

by angel.face in

i joined this site about 4 years ago and life was very different to say the least.

i was a jw and started the process of 'waking up' after experiencing life threatening blood loss due to complications of a pregnancy.

i was married with two kids (husband was an ms) and was a stay-at-home mom.

s: “Stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man.”

so--if you disassociate--you are no longer calling yourself a brother--so how can this apply to you ? ( this is what i did )

If they're just going to emulate Jimmy Swaggart and the like (e.g.: JW Broadcasting), why do they need such a massive compound in Warwick?

by Calebs Airplane in

they're obviously getting rid of the rags, drastically reducing printing of books in general, eliminating special pioneers, etc., etc.. ... what could they possibly need a 1.6 million square feet compound for (not including outside space) in the middle of nowhere?.

just to put things into perspective, 1.6 million square feet is equal to the square footage of roughly twelve (12) costco warehouse clubs.

wtf?

i know--its where theyre all going to live after armageddon

Interview with Jehovah's witnesses

by John Doe64 in

hello i am john a student of naperville north high school.

in a comparative religion project we have to research a branch of christianity mine being jehovah's witness and do an interview so this is out to all jehovah's witnesses or former jehovah's witnesses.. what do you enjoy about being jehovah's witness and what do you enjoy the least?.

what is communion like for jehovah's witnesses?.

hello JD

I've heard about cultish behaviour but I am also hoping to get someone who looks at jw favorably to reply also.

fortunately most on this site are ex-jw's--plus a fair number trapped in the cult who would dearly love to escape.

however--there is an official watchtower website you may wish to check out, but sadly most on there are just braindead zombies who probably couldnt understand your questions----they never had the benefit of an education.

Simon. Persistent unread message error.

by nicolaou in

for the last few days i've seen a nice green unread pm indicator even though there are no new messages (which is dreadfully sad).. not really a problem but thought it might be worth waving my arms and shouting about in a new topic.

.

and maybe get a few pity messages in my inbox .
