In a last ditch effort to find my place as I was waking up and in being a person that loves forums, I joined that place years ago. Those people are looney bin crazy and live in an alternate reality. I was ultimately banned for speaking out in a loving way, challenging their hateful diatribes against other human beings, etc. They are awful human beings over there. They fulfill the verses about having no natural affection.

Crazy statements from JWTalk
by Jehovah lol ini'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".

Toasted daughter: Why Jephthah almost certainly sacrificed his daughter to a complicit Jehovah
by Diogenesister injehovah's witnesses insist that jephthah did not sacrifice his daughter to jehovah.
this is important to them because, rarther than jephthah just being a random bad person, jehovah was very much in on the deal.
after all, he made the promise to jehovah that he would "offer up as a burnt offering" on his return the first thing to come out of his house if jehovah would give the ammonites into his hands in battle, and since they were this makes jehovah complicit.. the isrealites had been getting a good thrashing of late, and the gilead elders (oh boy) had come out to ask jephthah, the rejected son of a prostitute (wouldn't you know it) and renown soldier, if he would lead the isrealites into battle for them.. this is when jephthah makes the deal with jehobo, and it all centres on the word for "burnt offering", which is given as "olah".

Step dad is a elder
by Jayk ini was unware of this.
the irony is my mom is so "different" most her witness family barely wants anything to do with her.. she has spoken badly about my own brothers to other witness parents.
most witnesses who know my family and situation have said not even the bible has the answers to helping us.

Can someone tell me why Joan's ark and the flood not true and impossible?
by Gokumonkey inhey everyone.
i have a question and i hope i'm not confusing this with something else i heard.
while watching ex jw videos on youtube many of them talk about how noah's ark and the flood didn't happen and it's impossible.

How do you keep the animals on the Ark fed? How do you prevent them from eating one another? How many people does it take to shovel that much shit, and by shit I mean the story and subsequent belief not the metric tons of literal waste that would be generated in short order.

I've listened to 1.5 episodes so far today and they are kind of reminiscent of the Prodigal Boys without the immature jokes (that I liked at times). They're more serious but still funny. I like 'em, my audio uncles.
Maybe I will reach out to them. That would be fun. I should actually be trying to get on other shows anyway as a strategy for my own podcasts, but I haven't yet.

Wish the Prodigal Boys were still around. :(
Thanks for the recommendation! You know I love podcasts. I've got some Mormons interested in doing an interview for my show "shunned" at some point.

It is old news that you can buy bread already sliced, just like it was old news at the time that JWR had closed. I believe that was the point.

What is the benifits to living forever?
by Jayk incan anyone give me a valid reason for it?
growing old is a drag.
the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..

I'm not saying that I would necessarily want to live forever, as I cannot know that. I certainly wouldn't want to if I had to be surrounded by JW nutters the whole time.
With that said it seems like when most of us think about it we think in terms of running out of things to do. We're human beings though, not human doings. Life isn't all about mastery of one thing or what's up next, there's tremendous joy to be had in just "being". Talking to people, connecting, enjoying the everyday things like the warmth of the sun or sound of the rain or just taking a walk through the woods and smelling the fresh air, all can be endlessly enjoyable.
I think I'm down with the possibility of everlasting life. It sounds good to me.

Difficulty fading out
by Emily1987 inthis is my first post on here so i apologize that it is like an essay!.
my husband and i are currently 'fading out' of the truth.
we stopped preaching in may 2016 and limited meeting attendance in january 2017 and stopped completely in june 2017. my main reason for this was my whole life i have been doing things to please others, even getting baptized to please my mum.

If you want to fade, you have to keep playing their game. We chose to disassociate, game over. It's a matter of choosing the consequences you can live with. We could live with shunning more than having people watch our every move and hiding our lives. We wanted to be authentic and free. It came with a price though and isn't a decision to take lightly. There's no easy way to leave a cult. That's part of what makes it a cult.
