I loved the sections about the failed prophecies.That was an eye opener. I never knew the Witnesses had so much experience ast predicting things that eventually didnt happen.

i told them i really can't believe jesus was ever an angel.

I think the problem is the terms in which they couch their original statements about the things that will occur. And When they will occur.If they were not so absolute in their statements, they might not be so reprehensible.

Theyre hoping that with persistence they can bring you to see the truth.
Little do they know.

Do teenage JW's have a higher suicide rate?
by thomas3004 ini read online that teenage jw's have a suicide rate four times higher than the national average.
i was curious if anybody could refer me to actual statistics that could either confirm or deny that.
i have a friend who was struggling with suicidal thoughts a few months ago and now her new boyfriend is trying to convert her to be a jw.

A young guy in the congregation next to mine took his own life. He used to be an exemplary pioneer type, then he stopped going to meetings, I think he got himself into some financial difficulty and a while later he was dead. Shot himself with a shotgun in the chest. I imagine the suicide rate is higher than average among young dubs. After all, theres a lot of repressed stuff and guilt in their lives. So it would be a surprise if the rate wasnt higher i think.

A post like the one starting this thread is enough to warm the cockles of any ex dubs heart.
You made the right decision early.If only id done the same. I couldve saved years and a lot of pain and guilt.

What site made you leave...
by Tuesday ini was asked the other day when telling my story about leaving the witnesses when relating finally having the courage to type "jehovah witness" into the search bar on internet explorer and clicking around.
i was never into doctrine at all when i was a witness, i barely listened at all anyhow it was the comical sites that got me.
while freeminds was a great tool i was more influenced by the bethel cartoons on the site.

No site made me leave.
Doubtless sites such as this are a curse upon the WT Organization. People talking freely without Organization supervision . Cant have that.I bet they hate the internet. I have to tell the Organization, its only going to get worse as time goes by.

My names not Ziggy. "Zig think" refers to the warped state of my thinking. Are you a "fast lady" PlmK? Is that Marylin Monroe in your avatar? Greetings to all who have greeted me. And to all who have not.

All their light has just about gone out. Its hidden under a bushel. They ran out of oil. Dont expect to see much new light radiating out of the pages of the WatchTower.
