How many time did you take to be cured?
by Nicolas ini mean, when i read something of the watchtower, i still have sometime this old fear of armaggeddon.
i don't know why i have this fear since i found a lot of proofs that they aren't the true religion.
sometime, i would like to erase all these bad things that me and my family had in the jw and begin again but unfortunately, it's impossible.

Nic,
Welcome to the board! No, I don't think you can be completely cured, but I can say it DOES get better! I was 19 when I left and it was SOOO hard! But I've learned to live without my family and move beyond the traumu the WTS created in my young life. My prayers are with you!

GB Admits It Has No Answers, Blood
by Maximus in"in contrast with humans, who have a limited life span, jehovah never feels pressured by time to reveal his secrets prematurely.
this fact should prevent us from becoming impatient when certain bible questions cannot presently be explained to our satisfaction.
"modesty on the part of the faithful and discreet slave class, commissioned to provide the christian household with food at the proper time, prevents it from presumptuously running ahead and wildly speculating about things that are still unclear.

Anchor,
I'm so sorry to hear about that experience! When you look at the fact that people's very lives are at stake, the rewards look so incredibly pathetic. How sad! We have so much more to live for outside The Tower!

IF Freddie could only count to 372,000!
by Amazing infirst freddie says that there are 372,000 molesters among the jws, and attributes this to me.
if you read my post again, i showed about 5,300 molesters, and using this and one of the studies that shows 70 victims per molestrs average, then we can reach 372,000 victims - see that freddie?
victims!

Is the WT under a CURSE?!?!?!?!
by Winston ini would like to know your view, is the watchtower organization under a curse!!!?.
i feel they are; here is why:.
1) galatians 1:8 however even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to you as good news something beyond what we declared to you as good news let him be accursed.. has the watchtower gone beyond what paul declared as good news or is it the same as paul taught.. wt good news is all about them and how they are gods organization and if you recognize them you will be saved (of coarse they dont leave out jesus), its just that its of secondary importance because now his kingdom has been born and we all need to not doubt them that they are gods organization, to get life.. 2) 2peter3:16 mentions that some ...are twisting ,as they do the rest of the scriptures to their own destruction.. is the wt twisting scriptures to their own destruction?.

Tweetie,
Great point! I'd never thought about that. I may use that as ammunition in trying to plant that seed with my family!

Monica,
...sigh...I cannot tell you how heavy my heart feels as I read more of your story. Thank you for sharing. I think you and I were raised in the same household! It does indeed feel strange to hear someone else speak of THEIR experience and it mirror your own so VIVIDLY!
Our fathers have no idea how much damage they've caused our lives. I do believe that God is justice. Someday people like our fathers WILL know - FULLY UNDERSTAND - the damage they've caused to their children and wives. I know it's sinful, but I imagine myself rejoicing that day.
For me, the tinkle of my boyfriend's belt buckle as he dresses, stops my heart! My dad would use that sound to warn us kids that he was "beyond the point of self-control" - the very action showing me he was in full control of his emotions and faculties and beat the tar out of us anyway. I don't know about you, but the grief my heart feels sometimes is so overwhelming. It catches my breath and stops my heart. And in the midst of this? I love my father like no other man in this world. That's what's so incredibly SAD.
I too have found a wonderful Christian man that loves me unconditionally. I haven't had the courage to tell him my childhood experiences - perhaps at some point I will be able to.
Thank you for sharing...your grief and healing is my grief and healing!

Welcome Vita!
I'm glad to see you posting here. You'll find a lot of great people with BIG hearts and interesting convos! I hope you stick around. I'm sorry to hear about your husband health. You'll both be in my prayers. Fortunately, I have met MANY good people in the "world" that have a lot of love for others. They actually live better lives than most of the JWs I've met. They walk the walk, so to say. I hope you are blessed with meeting some of those people as I have. Looking forward to hearing more of you around here!
Christian love,

Looking to the future
by individuals wife init was a wonderful hope to be given - to live forever in a paradise earth, never to grow old, never to suffer the aches and pains of an ageing body, to see your family grow generation after generation.
it was a relief not having to worry about how we would survive on an old age pension, who would look after us in our twilight years or how we could manage if we were bereaved and left alone to look after ourselves with failing health.. now that the illusion has been destroyed and reality has set in it has put boundaries on our lifespan on this earth.
we have to look at practicalities, a pension, long term health care, securing a happy and comfortable retirement.

Hmmm. Good question! I actually do not fear growing old. Maybe because I was 19 when I was DFed and growing old wasn't really a fear THEN? Maybe because the idea of what comes after my death - I believe in a heavenly life - is appealing to me too? I dunno.
But I actually look forward to growing old. I'll be the big 3 - 0 in just a few more days and am not having any anxiety about it at all. My only problem with growing old is that I don't feel like I can make up for the first 19 years that I lost as a JW.
