  Just my story

  by libidinousfaerie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  since i have been out, i am still amazed when i find someone who is no longer a jw.

  the funny thing is, i am always amazed at how many people it is just a casual fact about their past that they don't think anything of.

  the more and more i think about it, the more i realize that most people were just able to blow it off, and then there are a few of us who it actually left deep marks on us.

  Welcome libidinousfaerie (long name to remember lol),

  I really enjoyed reading your story - and can relate to many things you've said. Its good that you've made a new life for yourself, and while you can reflect back on the good and bad times you seem to have a balanced view of all that happened to you. Your right that for some being a witness is a good thing for them, for others its not, shame there isn't really a choice to leave without some repercussions with family who are in. Obviously you are still thinking about it and being affected by it, so I hope you find this place somewhere to chat about it.

  How Would You Refute JW's Claim Of Being The ONLY True Religion?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since the new tract tells us "the end of false religion is near!

  ", jehovah's witnesses maintain that they alone are the only true religion.

  how would you dispute that??

  False religion:

  Meddles in war and politics- the Watchtower kills its brothers by its blood policy, and takes governments to court, joined UN

  Spreads false doctrine - the Watchtower teaches two classes of christian, 607 to 1914, Paradise earth

  Tolerates immoral sex - the Watchtower keeps records of accused child abusers, but for the sake of keeping the org looking clean, withholds from authorities

  Blood Transfusion Question - Dogs

  by Duncan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dear everyone,.

  there was a very interesting item on this morning's bbc breakfast news programme - to do with blood transfusions for dogs.

  a new website has been set up, along with an appeal to owners to type and register their pets as potential donors, should the need arise.

  What a hilarious thread! Unfortunately it also shows the wacky reasoning the WTS has, which could result in a senario of someone dying. To me thats no different to their new tract saying we dont go to war (no we just kill them from within!)

  P.S. I saw it on the bbc news also - was just having a break from another wacky person - Fiona Philips GMTV

  It should be about serving Christ not belonging to a religion that dominates you - this is where organisation goes beyond its mandate of being a tool for the people to use and becoming the centre of power, abitrating its rules on its followers.

  If you could "intelligently design" yourself, what would you change?

  if you could "intelligently design" yourself, what would you change?.

  you're welcome to start from the ground up, if you like.

  or just suggest changes to the existing platform.

  Good topic Dave, as a side note I have been thinking about this from the point of view of if we are the product of the Bible's god. In as much as we have natural desire's to procreate (have sex lol) and yet we have to do it under specific rules - ok we could say the Bible is a product of man and its him thats imposing these things on us against our nature, but it makes you think doesnt it.

  As for changes to the design, well some of the waste products we produce might be dealt with a new way lol!

  Breaking my silence

  i am a long time lurker (almost 2 years) but first time poster.

  even though you didn't know me before now, i feel like i have known a lot of you for quite a while.

  from my time viewing jwd, i have learned many things and have felt like sometimes that you were talking directly to me.

  Thanks for posting dawg, that was a heart wrenching account, i'm so sorry that the WTS has split another union. Looking back with hindsite and reading this board you have probably realised that this may well have been inevitable, unfortunately when Jw's lead a double life you are fooled into thinking you can have a normal union with them, but if they get an attack of the guilts, your out on your ear. Dont be too hard on yourself, there are always things we can regret about out lives but as long as we learn from all we do then its not wasted. Give yourself time to work through this, and with your new 'voice' here you can vent some of your feelings. Hang in there and welcome

  Thanks for posting these lady liberty. I used to ask an Elder why we couldnt research further back to the earliest Watchtowers, I think I even said it makes you wonder what they are hiding. Even though as a dub I had the mindset that changes were new light, I didnt realise how crazy some of the things they published were! I'm so glad I can come to a place like this and research and see things like this and not be fooled any longer.

  hello everyone.. i'm an "active" jw and have been for...13 years but my faith in the jw org died about 5 years ago.. so, i've been doing the jw thing for 5 years now without believing in it.

  i might be an ms soon, unfortunately.. i tried telling my parents about it but they said apostates are good with twisting words and whatnot.. they wouldn't even let me show them evidence of wt hypocrisy; however, my mother did say she found it odd that every once in a while, there's that publisher resolution of donating a certain amount a year.

  there might be hope for her yet.

  I can relate to how your family took to hearing your doubts, mine were the same causing me to bottle it up for a while longer. It sounds like your doing the right thing by making some plans before you jump ship. As far as the MS appointment goes there are two things you can do 1) fluctuate on your service (ministry, attendance, answering, appearance etc) 2) Say no when they ask if you want to be appointed - this is hard due to the pressure of the situation but can be done if you pre plan to do so. I wish you all the best at discovering your new life and hope the family can accept your choice, oh and welcome to the forum!
