  MAKING "THE GOOD" THE ENEMY OF THE PERFECT

  by Terry in

  2. beliefs

  one clue to thinking rationally is knowing the difference between what is essential and what isn't.. .

  imagine you wake up and your house is ablaze.

  jehovah's witnesses trade the life they have for one they'll never have.

  Films/movies that resonate with Apostates

  by Black Man in

  1. jw

  there are a few films that i really connect with that sum up my j-dub experiences........ .

  shawshank redemption: if you've ever "served time" at bethel, you can't help but connect with this film.

  institutionalization, mental persecution and "andy dufrene crossing through 500 yards of shit, came out clean on the other side.

  Robertson is Unchristian but is he Unpatriotic?

  by Oroborus21 in

  1. social
  2. current

  robertson's call for assassination of the venezuelan president shows once again how corrupt christendom's leaders are.. but what is really interesting is the double standard in place.

  if the latest "abu wasabi" were to say on a videotape that george bush should be assassinated, you can bet the secret service would go after the person.

  in the right situation there could even be more severe consequences like soldiers sent to capture the person or even a cruise missile or precision bomb dropped on the location.. so why doesn' t the venezuelan government feel justified in doing any of those actions?.

  Told my nonJW brother-in-law I'm done with the JW thing

  by ithinkisee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am slowly ramping up the wheels of apostacy and have begun telling a few people to help brace the fallout of me telling my wife.

  i have many relatives that aren't jws - both on my side and on my wife's side.

  i've already told my dad (who was never a jw - to which i am eternally grateful), and some nonjw business people that i am also friends with.. my wife's brother was never a jw.

  have any of you who were ever "raised in the truth" really traced your doubts back to as early as you remember?

  i would be interested in hearing what they were.. i started tracing my path of doubts.

  Social Skills..... or lack thereof

  by damselfly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have come to the realization that i have very poor to non-existent social skills.

  i have become so scared of rejection ( i wonder why?

  ) that i only let people get so close and only reveal select personal information after literally years of knowing someone.sometimes when i'm out in public and see someone i know, if they haven't seen me yet i will try and avoid them.

  first timer

  by DramaQueen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my first time on this web site.

  i learned about it from my mom who also posts here.

  i used to be a jw but was (thankfully) never baptized, and because of that (the fact that i am no longer a jw) it has kept me from talking to my grandmothers, some of my uncles, and my aunts and also some of my cousins.

  **MUST READ** AlanF's email to Knocking.org

  by sf in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.

  alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.

  however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.
