apostate inaccuracies
by candidlynuts ingranted i havent been to the kh in years.
but when i did several talks dealt with how apostates lie about the wtbs, the apostates make up stuff and attribute the quotes to wtbs.
apostates all have evil intentions of taking god away from you.

Poll-----Did The Internet Help You Get Out Of The Organization??
by minimus ini read many "apostate" books before i left the "truth".
mentally, i was drifting away for years.
but i do think that the internet really made it easy to see all the evidence that overwhelmingly showed jws do not have the "truth".....was the 'net instrumental in getting you out?

nope..i quit going because of the hypocrisy, for being treated like i was invisible, for shutting down because i was just so overwhelmed with what i had to do. i was exhausted from busting my ass.(mid nineties)
didnt start reading on the internet till about a year ago? maybe not that long ago. what its provided me with is being able to talk to people who relate to what i've been thru and helped aleviate the sense of impending doom and the isolation i felt i was in.

3. Charles Taze Russell -- A North Sider with some influence. He founded the Jehovah's Witnesses, one of the few American-bred religious denominations. The group has become famous both for its pacifism and evangelizing. What does a guy have to do to get credit -- go door-to-door?

sadly famine is a real problem on earth. not to watchtower gloom and doom scale but way too many people (in the 10s of millions) are suffering
edited to add.
i was too low on my figures. http://www.bread.org/hungerbasics/international.html gives the figure at over 800 million.

in another thread we've been discussing suicide..
by candidlynuts inand how to take the threat of suicide seriously.. i was wondering if anyone whos been in abusive/controlling relationships have had a spouse threaten to kill him/herself to get you to do something their way?.
my experience: when the ex cheated on me and i was going to leave, and he seen i was serious about leaveing he threatened to kill himself several times .
getting real upset and turning the situation to where i had to comfort him.

The Black & White Thinking of Jehovah's Witnesses---Are You Still Affected?
by minimus inas witnesses, we were taught how to think.
we were force fed whatever "mother" told us was best for us.
we were constantly having ideas "inculcated" into us.

How does one forgive ??? PLEASE, I really need your help, PLEASE ???
by run dont walk inwell, the worst case scenario happened in my life,.
i had a topic awhile back about, have you ever thought about leaving your mate for someone else??.
i never updated as much as i should of ?.

way too early to talk about forgiveness..she's still in contact with him? (a no no if your both wanting to work things out)
definitely get counseling if you both want it to work. and if at all possible work on not becoming bitter. anger is healthy..bitterness will just eat you inside out. ( wish i'd had that advice back when my ex cheated)
