Excellent letter. I think a great idea would be to get some kind of news media to follow-up on what kind of treatment you receive after sending in this letter, maybe even Dr Phil or somebody big could do a special on cults.

Why are EX-JW's and JW's in doubt(faders) so ''afraid" of the elders?
by booker-t ini have been out for years now but i still tremble alittle when i run into an elder at the store or run into an elder on the street and my post question certainly applies to me as well but why do i still have fear of jw's elders?
i have been da'd for so many years but that fear still comes up.
and reading alot of the post here i still see ex-jw's and jw's faders living a pretended jw life or pretending to be happy when they are miserable in the wt.

Nik--you need to do more research and then you will understand the hostility of some exJWs. These people are working through the emotional damage that the cult of the Watchtower Society has done to them and/or their families. The JW religion is extremely emotionally destructive, and a no-win situation for those who choose to leave who leave family members behind entrenched in those false religious beliefs that are unChristian at best.
I have 2 nonJW relatives who call the JW religion "family destroyers".

If Only I'd Had...
by Blueblades inif only i'd had..., or if it wasn't for so and so, i'd be...i found myself thinking this many times since i did the fade.
then i realized from this forum and books that i have read, that it doesn't matter how true we believe these statements to be, we need to stop looking back, fiqure out the next step to go forward, and keep going.. we'll never change anything that has already happened, but the future is already ours to mold.. what do you think about this?
are you still stuck in the past?

I am really trying to move forward with my life, but I feel like I keep repeating the same mistakes. I blame my parents more than the JW religion though. It's not that I'm living in the past, but lately I'm trying to really analyze myself so that I quit making the same mistakes with my life--which involves getting into bad relationships.
It's really a struggle to move past the depression issues etc. when you grew up with your dad constantly beating into your head that you are a piece of dirt and should have never been born etc.

I think the keyword in the title is "Possessed".
Evil spirits must have possessed my mind to believe that load of crap.

Ok, now my July Jamaica vacation is REALLY on my mind. The temperature has been hovering in the 20's at night, which is not usual for where I live.

First time for me.........."The wedding night"
by new boy ini had no idea what to expect!...................as in the case of most jws.
since sex is strickly forbidden before marriage.
at the time (1970's) kissing was even frowned at too.

Well all I know is that I have been married more than once, and neither of my husbands could satisfy me in bed. What is it about marriage? The best sex I've had is when I was not married to the person. Makes me think it's just not worth it for me to get married ever again, especially because the older I get the more likely I am to get stuck with someone who has ED (erectile dysfunction).

My old KH had a personal visit from me today!
by moshe ini was on business in the area of my old congregation ( i live out of state)- the one i first got baptized in back in 1973. they were just getting started on their discussion before service- it was 9:03 am and i just impulsively turned into the parking lot and decided to pay them a surprise visit.
i just walked into the kh and looked at them for 30 seconds.
i didn't recognize anyone and finally they asked me what i wanted.

Am I right here, or just Sarcastic...
by Tuesday inso my mom might be having an operation shortly, so i asked her about the blood card.
i said that since i was the closest relative that would at least understand her beliefs and follow them (no other relative in the area would allow her to not take blood) i said that i understood there was a new blood card with the various incraments and particles of blood that will be allowed.
she said there was and she had the card filled out, which i took a look at it and everything was checked off.

I really don't understand their belief system at all, whoever made it up is on drugs! Blood is blood and you either accept transfusions or you don't! They may as well do away with the whole abstaining from blood issue because taking fractions is not abstaining from blood.
