it takes 30 minutes to drive there, so i stay for the meeting, i dress in slacks and a nice shirt ..in respect for pops.

going back home , would be pissing in the wind.....i would just have to turn around 20 minutes after getting there.. well elders asked me to the back room, and said im doing a good job taking care of my father, and that it looks like im well on my way to getting reinstated soon....wtf???.

Songs celebrating leaving the faith? Not being a puppet, mind controlled, living life, etc etc

by aley63 in

i am looking for some songs that are in ref to celebrating leaving, seeing the light, realizing what you were told wasnt right, being happy w your life, etc etc.

all those emotions about being controlled and repressed, being told what you can feel or think or how to live, blindly following the "brotherhood ".

How do you manage to keep JW friendships after you left the organization?

by Bonsai in

jw
friends

it seems incredibly difficult.

those who leave the org.

(or fade) no longer have anything in common with jehovah's witnesses, nor do they want to stick around to get radiated by the fear and guilt that saturates every aspect of a witnesses' life.. i've lost all but one of my jw friends quite simply because i can no longer condone the evil things that they condone.

When the smoke cleared, the couple actual friends who were still around were individuals who "grew up in the truth" but who experienced first-hand some of the hypocrisy of the organization (disfellowshipping). Even if they don't know TTATT, we at least agree that the organization has problems.

Top Cult Expert Steven Hassan makes statement about Jehovah's Witnesses

by Watchtower-Free in

thought this had to be made.

"Paradoxically, because the earlier editions didn't mention either group, the book wasn't banned by church leaders and so it was widely read by church members as a result"

Bet that's going to change with the quickness.

Allergic to shepherding

by TTATT_Paladin in

the elders at my old congregation, and from what i have read, most others, are allergic to shepherding.. she said something like the phrase "a shepherding call is about me needing one, not about them deciding if they want to give me one.

June 2015 Watchtower equating Apostates with The Antichrist!

by nicolaou in

shit!

it finally happened.. years ago i speculated on this happening but can't find the posts.

anyway, this is a tactically aggressive move by wt.

Remember that most who are still "in" the organization don't dissect info as people in the thread are doing. They will simply take their definition of apostate ("used to be one of us, but is now against us"), and follow along with the Society as far as equating it with the Antichrist.

It's 2015 already

by Doltologist in

it's 2015. isn't it about time man stopped believing in all of this illogical and superstitious nonsense i.e.

belief in god?.

isn't it time we grew up?.

Logical and analytical thought, and belief in the Divine are not mutually exclusive.
