Anyone else feel guilty about bringing others into the "truth", once you have learned TTATT ?

by Dunedain in

i guess this is not so much about guilt, per se, but more so if you feel an obligation to reveal what you now know about ttatt, to those who you have studied with, taught the "truth" to, and are still in the borg ?.

i am sure most of us, after learning about the evils, and lies perpetrated by this organization, must feel some sort of guilt for being the catalyst in "exposing" others to the cult.

honestly, i feel none of us should actually, feel guilty though.

HappyDad

Yeah...I do! The only person I had the now disprivilege of bringing into the "lie" was a workmate in the late 1970's. He bought it hook, line and sinker from me and the ones I introduced him to. He wound up marrying (I was best man) a JW who was not mentally stable and eventually got divorced. This union produced a beautiful daughter who is now married with her own family and still a JW.

The last time I talked to this guy was in 2003 or 2004. I was already out but kept some semblance of interest for ones such as he.

Now I have been totally out and moved 1200 miles away to Florida. Some from my past life as a JW know where I am and word gets around about my standing. I don't care who knows where I am and what I believe today. Talking to them would be a lot of fun if they ever got in touch.

In a conversation with my wonderful daughter (who is also out) I asked if she thought it would be a good idea to write this guy/brother to tell him my story.

She said that I should. So far, I haven't done it.

He had his own problems with the JW's and was upset about a lot of crap with the religion when I last talked to him.

What do you guys think? Should I write to him or not?

Dealing with family

by G Skero in

i'm in my mid 40's and recently started bible study and going to meetings.

my family is really having a hard time with this.

my kids that are over 18 are no longer speaking to me and won't have anything to do with me.

HappyDad

G Skero.........please take the time to do research of all the harm this dangerous religion has perpetrated on tens of thousands of ones who have left the religion after learning the "truth".

The sugar coated presentation to you will end as soon as you get baptized. Everything you are told is just a ruse to make you pliable.

Weekend visit from JWs.

by redvip2000 in

had a visit from the jws this week.

i've lived in this house since 2012 and this is the first time, they have reached me at home - quite the urgent work.. anyway, i was home on saturday morning and around 10am, there was a knock.

i had a feeling it would be them.

HappyDad

I agree with undercover. The lady and you are both in the same boat. Both pushing an agenda though of opposite understandings. She will not accept your "theory" based beliefs and you will not accept hers. But if that is what floats your boat then so be it.

My Refurbished Web Page

by NeonMadman in

jw
friends

i know that many here are no longer believers, but i also know that there are still some participating in this forum who consider themselves christians.

i recently refurbished my web site extensively, and thought some of you might enjoy browsing it.

some of my articles are aimed at exposing unbiblical teachings of the watchtower, and my video presentations on "darkness in the watchtower" and "the watchtower's mad science and bad medicine" have been particularly well received.

HappyDad

Very good Tom. I'm going to read it all this evening

Tullamore DEW

by JRK in

i have settled in with a nice bottle of tullamore dew.

i have previously never tried any irish whiskeys other than jameson's.

i was wondering if there are any other irish whiskeys i should try.

HappyDad

I myself am a Jameson fan. To me there is nothing better. I have tried Paddy and Fecken which are both pretty good. I have tried the more expensive Jameson but don't like it as much as the regular one. It's all a matter of individual taste.

I love reading these positive things. My daughter will finish her BA in 24 weeks. Only 23 years later than it should have taken. Why? Because we were in a cult that doesn't like education! She was offered a free ride when she graduated high school. 'Sigh!!!!!!!
