  by zev in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well ok, "shunned" is really sister number 2, but peachypoof is sister number one, and the second of my sister to join the board.. she is about 18 months younger than me, and today joined us on the board.. i know when i was talking to her online, i was kinda choked up, that she was signing up with us here.

  these are moments that this brother, the real brother of these two sisters of mine will never forget!.

  welcome peachypoof, and may your stay here be as long as mine.

  I shouldn't have read all those JW comments they were not upbuilding.

  They only tore down.

  My conscience is bothering me now, I mean, they even spread rumors and lies(Ray Franz) to scare people away from the show!
  I must be stronger next time. I think I'll pray now or read my horoscope.
  It's scary how easy it is to fall back into JW thinking!

  Hearing Kingdom Songs on Dateline.......sickened

  by Mulan in

  2. friends

  did anyone else have the bile come up, when you heard those "kingdom songs" during the dateline show?

  it made me feel ill.........and almost like leaving the room.

  i wonder why i have such an aversion to anything connected to a kh meeting?

  This is so interesting,us all remembering how the KH music in Dateline made us feel.
  I'll never forget it.It caught me off guard,I did not expect it, and it felt erie or creepy to me.I didn't want to go where it was taking me in my mind.Thankfully it didn't last long.Strange!

  My Mom's reaction to the Dateline show

  by Mulan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i posted earlier today that mom thought the show was well done but she thought they made some "cheap shots" too.

  tonight, after dinner, i asked her what she thought were the cheap shots.

  i could tell she had trouble remembering, but said this: "i am sure there are some cases of molestation, like the ones they discussed on the show, that were handled badly, but there are so many that are handled in the right way.

  Mulan,
  

  How about thinking that Jehovah used the show and those people to expose the organization for what it is?"

  At least your mom smiled when you said this.More importantly, she watched it.
  My mom on the otherhand, would not watch the show and yelled at me when I called to give her the time for the show to air.
  So remember, it could be worse.

  how does Jehovah rationalize Babel?

  by SpiderMonkey in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'll try to keep this concise... this is an issue i never got an answer to, from the elders or any witness, on my way out of the "truth":.

  jws believe that god permits evil to answer the "age-old challenge from satan the devil," that man can't rule himself without god, correct?

  (please correct me if i'm wrong).

  Spider,
  

  I'll emphasize that I don't believe in this bible story;

  Thank goodness, because I didn't want to have to be the one to break it to you that this is just a tall tale.

  It is silly isn't it, to think that an "all powerful God" would need to resort to "playing dirty" so man doesn't over power him.
  Seems like a big contradiction to me in more ways than one.

  Vi's Essay......

  2. friends

  hi everyone.. as i think about all the conversations and laughs i've had here over the last six months, it makes me smile.

  there are some very genuine, loving people here and i wish you all a wonderful future no matter what you choose to do.. although i have had some terrible experiences with the witnesses, i can't ignore what i feel.

  i love jehovah and if i have to associate with the wtbts so be it!

  Farkle ,
  I agree.He knows too much plus I think one or two experiences in service now after all theis press coverage and Dateline will be enough to bring our ole friend back.

  Violet,
  I only wish you happiness.I hope to see you back.

  Lol, It sounds like their heads are burried very deeply in the sand.
  They think if they ignore it then it didn't happen or maybe it will just go away.

  Sorry, Not gonna happen.

  Seeing reality,JWs are "oddball crackpots...

  by Liberty in

  1. social
  2. current

  after reading you know's response to the dateline expose' i was reminded of my own brain washing years ago while being raised as a jw.

  it seems so funny to me now but i too used to believe that we jws were completely normal and that anyone who said otherwise was misinformed.

  when i finally removed myself from the watchtower society's influence reality slowly crept into my consciousness and the objective fact that jws are "oddball crackpots" became clear and indisputable.. as a jw i believed in a whole host of absolutely ridiculous and illogical idiocy.

  Chi chi, sitting in a large circle of other people suddenly stands up and says "I confess I was once an "oddball crackpot" JW. I am now a recovering "oddball crackpot XJW"

  Chichi takes her seat and looks around wondering if anyone else will come forward.

  Mixed thoughts re: Silentlambs group

  by Pathofthorns in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a person has to be a bit nieve to think that if the wt suddenly gave into all of the demands of silentlambs that silentlambs would somehow cease to exist and or let up their pressure on the society.. i think there is a broader agenda here, one that includes a measure of revenge against the wt and one that won't stop until they are out of business.

  no child is truely protected or safe when they are raised in a cult.

  a logical extention of silentlambs would be expanding their agenda to include the blood issue and children.. it is this obvious broader agenda the silentlambs group has that invites criticism from active witnesses.

  I sometimes think others have a higher expectations of the Silentlambs org than the victims and survivors themselves.

  Obviously there is no way to please everyone but remember much has already been accompolished.
  People who were all alone and had been silenced for years found a place to finally tell their story and get the support they so much needed.That alone is extreemly therapudic.Much more has been accompolished that I don't need to list.
  Some have found new friends that understand first hand what they have been through.Finding out you are not alone is so important.

  Silentlambs is not the whole solution, but it is a new begaining for many.We should appreciate what it does and will do in the future for these people.Suggestions on how to improve are good but if you think you can do better then start your own organazation and see how hard it really is.
