  That One Defining Moment That Changed Your Life.

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.

  it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.

  something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.

  1. When I was 7-8 and my parents bought a house right next to a JW family. You can guess where that went.

  2. International Convention of 2014 in Indianapolis. We left early on the first day, my wife in tears, and felt such relief as we drove away from the hotel after retrieving our stuff to head home. We discussed on the way home how we just didn't fit and could never go back, and we didn't .

  3. May of 2015 we drive to NYC to see my DFed brother and come home to be shunned by family .

  4. September 2, 2015, our disassociation is officially announced and we start our new life.

  Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! The same two wonderful families that adopted my wife and I last year will be our families again today, and we had to turn down other invitations from the other "unrighteous" people in the "wicked world". Oh, the horrors of humanity loving on one another.

  as i have revealed in other threads my mother and i havent talked in over 2 years.

  she has been keeping her distance, therefore staying loyal to jehovah.

  she found me on facebook.

  The brainwashing is so evident and so sad. I'm sorry. My family is the same. Whatever happened to making a defense of amyone that asks of you? Why doesn't the same apply to god?

  Official Increase in the Number of Jehovah's Witnesses You Shouldn't Trust

  by David_Jay in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reports are coming from witnesses that, once again, the number of memorial partakers has risen considerably this past year, 2016. while confirmation is still to come on the exact numbers, the current explanations given for this increase surely causes a dilemma.. imagine the roman catholic church publishing each year the number of members who it felt were mistaken about what they believed in, that this same number of members was likely suffering from problems such as pride or even mental disorders or something along this line.

  this number, by the way, was in the thousands too and growing annually.

  what would you conclude, therefore about the catholic church and its admission?.

  How long before they cherry pick a new scripture and use it to portray this influx of new anointed members in this time of the end, whether as legitimate or not?

  The uptake...

  by Thisismein1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with recent events pointing at watchtower growth, i felt compelled to say a few words.. if the figures turn out to be true, then we should not be discouraged.

  after 9/11 there was a surge in, not only the watchtower, but other demonisation of organised religion.

  whenever there is a a paradigm shifting event that puts fear into others, this tends to have a life changing affect on an individual.. now let us zoom to the present.

  David Jay nailed it. Why care if the Borg grows? Has nothing to do with me or with proving they have the truth. They are the ones obsessed with numbers. Don't let them control your life even after you leave. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy. Who cares how or if they grow. I'm done with them.

  Hey, can you say more about the Revelation 20 thing? Was that discussed on here? I love learning new stuff like that even though I give little thought to the Bible anymore.

  Sorry to hear it, but not surprised. It takes a measure of denial to be a good dub. They can't accept your new life, so they deny it. They will absolutely deny that you even exist if needed to keep up their own illusion. I had a deal with my mom as we were unknowingly on our own way out. We just wouldn't discuss JW stuff anymore. We would go to their house to visit and it was all us trying to come up with things to talk about. They have nothing without their cult. Of course, now we'll likely never speak again. Sounds like you're going down a similar road.

  The cleaning bug

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have a wife that literally cleans the house 24 7. it's hard on our marriage, our son has no natural affection for her.

  if we go to an assembly she literally spends two days waxing and polishing the car.

  she hand washes all the clothes before go into the washing machine because no machine could ever do as good a job as her.

  That definitely sounds like OCD and she needs professional help. Not a JW thing, more of a prison of her own mind. Please get her the help she needs to escape for her sake and that of the family. I'm so sorry for all of you. That's no way to live.

  The JWs have so many janitors in their ranks because it's a way to make decent money and to control your own schedule. It's not an obsessive need for order and cleanliness .
