  it's been a long time since i was in the 'truth' .

  took a long long time to rehabilitate and among one of the things i had to do was learn to make friends.

  anyway, maybe will make more friends here, time will tell .

  How Long Did It Take You To Snap Out Of Watchtower Think?

  the teachings held on to me.

  more so than the emotions and i did not have family in the organization to tie me down.. disconnecting yourself from watchtower thinkwhen you first discovered what the society was behind the scenes how long did it.

  Ex JWs that suffered to an unusual degree

  by greendawn in

  2. scandals

  do you know of ex jws that suffered greatly due to the policies of the wts?

  i personally don't know any but i suppose those that left behind parents, spouse and children got a very bad deal since the wts dictates shunning from all these.

  also those that lost relatives to the blood policy.

  I've been avoiding this topic as I've watched it grow.

  To think our planet does not possess a life of it's own, even a violent one, is to proverbially stuff your head in the sand.

  I personally am thankful for the global warming. If not for global warming we would still be in an ice age.

  Science shows there were "global" warming and cooling throughout earth's history. To think that we have created this monster alone is juvenile. Have we also, single handedly, cuased global warming on Mars?

  Austin, TX was once a shallow sea. Egypt, one time, sported lush forests with tower trees. The world changes, with us, or without us.

  We cannot stop global warming. We can, though, create a better home for ourselves by recycling and reducing emissions.

  But we did not create global warming, nor can we stop it.

  I have left many wonderful, christian, JW traits behind:

  While driving around I no longer dream of living in the biggest homes after Jehovah murders the owners.

  I no longer rejoice when world events are horrible and people are dying.

  I no longer think I am better than the "World".

  I no longer look forward to a massacar of all men woman and children across the globe who are not JW's.

  I must admit that since leaving the Tower I have contributed to the groteque practice of CANNABLISM!

  I gave my left kidney to a young man who was dying.

  I realize now that I should of left his fragile life to Jehovah. He would have been garaunteed a life in the new world after dying in his early 20's. Since I did this disgusting act, he has finished university and gotten a great job in accounting.

  Oh god, what have I done?!

  I say fake.

  A "publisher" at the door would never call a "house holder" "BROTHER".

  Hanna,

  That's a very tough life and I'm sorry. I was kidnapped at 2 yrs by my servant (the 60's) father. I didn't find my mother until I was 33. She had searched for me for years then gave up and attempted suicide. Resulting in brain damage, she is more a child. I will never know who my mother really was or is today.

  Not that I care now, but my father and step-mother shun me.

  I do care, deeply, that my 22 year old daughter has shunned me since turning 19. In her letter she wrote "you know I should treat you as a disfellowshipped person". She was taught this just as I was when I was born into it.

  The Towers destroys tens of thousands of lives a year.

  if there was only one cd you could choose that helped you through the time you were fading from one set of choices to another, which one would it be?

  just one now.. mine would be cheryl crow-wildflower.

  of course there were others, but i limited this to just one.there are several songs on there that helped me express my feelings.. then, i also relistened to all my old music.

  Fleetwood Mac - Rumors

  Every song is great, but a few just for fading.

  GO YOUR OWN WAY

  "You can go your own way

  Go your own way"

  NEVER GOIN' BACK AGAIN

  "Been down one time

  Been down two times

  I'm never going back again"

  DON'T STOP

  "If you wake up and don't want to smile,

  If it takes just a little while,

  Open your eyes and look at the day,

  You'll see things in a different way.

  Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,

  Don't stop, it'll soon be here,

  It'll be, better than before,

  Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone."

  SECOND HAND NEWS

  "Been down so long

  I've been tossed around enough

  Couldn't you just

  Let me go down and do my stuff"

  Just to throw in a little emotion (my daughter is still a mental captive).

  These brainwashing bastards make me sick. We were taught that living certain things, believing things taught, meant the difference of life and death. They start running out of time, start looking silly, they just change doctrins.

  They can't even be totally honest and mention that 1935 replaced 1931 decades ago.
