Jeannie, dont be too surprized if after reading CoC you have an uncontrolable desire to fornicate with a fellow ex witness. Try not to fight this leaning.

Apostates' Idealised Image of their Time as a Witness
by slimboyfat ini know some apostates become bitter and can see nothing good in their time spent as witnesses, but i am not talking about that kind of apostate.
i am talking about the other kind of apostate who tends to idealise certain aspects of their time in the witnesses.
what motivates such sentiments i wonder?

The explaination is simple Slim - I was a naive braindead cultist. I didn't question anything because I thought my parents had it all figured out. All the world was neatly set out and all I had to do was attend meetings, get my 10 hours of field service a month and comment every now and then and I was paradise bound. The truth is not so simple. You must already know this stuff dude.

Slim, my experience as a child doesnt change that 'the truth' isnt the truth. The years leading up to 1995 were different for me in my personal experience, my pespective. In a way it sounds a lot like how things were for the older witnesses leading up to 1975. Ive read experiences of the meetings being exciting, a sense of camaraderie that doesnt exist today. For me, after 1995 I started to doubt things more because of the false prophecy.

Okay I get ya slim. Even though I'm not all that old I've noticed that things have changed from when I was a little boy even. There was a much more happier, family oriented sort of feeling I guess. Felt like we were all in things together and that the end would come very soon. After 1995, things progressively went downhill I think.

I think it has for sure. They only seem to be attracting social misfits and completely down and outs nowadays. As a plus for the apostate still needing to attend meetings, a lot of them make for hilarious pre and post meeting banter.

Daniel's Prophecy, 605 BCE or 624 BCE?
by Little Bo Peep inhello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.
i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.
i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.

Scholar cannot even conceive that the Watchtower's 'chronology' is wrong because as soon as he does, the VERY SECOND he comes to terms with it, whether he vocalizes it or not - he has become an apostate of the Watchtower cult. He's too intellectually dishonest to allow that to happen.

I found that conversation really frightening. Not to say I think any of the sh*t he was talking about is really going to happen, but just to see that type of a cultist mind in action. They just keep moving on to the next thing, then the NEXT thing.. all the while hoping the end of the world will come to destroy all those who are not 'like hearted'. Very scary stuff.
