My cruel plan when JW's or Mormons come to my door is as fallows. I pretend my 80lb german shepard chow mix dog is going to eat them if they don't promptly get the heck of my portch.I tug on his leash as he barks feverishly and lunges forward acting like his leash will snap at any moment.Man it is funny to watch their faces, they are in complete horror.It works on salesman too! The truth is my dog would probably lick them to death.

I got a visit this morning
by Crumpet infor the first time in 4 or 5 years i got a visit by the jws this morning.
i wasnt prepared at all and so handled it not so well.
bear in mind the leaflet on display just made me feel physically ill.. the woman asked if i was interested in finding out god's purpose for the future.

To Rebel or not to Rebel? that is the question!
by freedomlover ini am truly looking for your honesty on this issue...not that i think any of you have been dishonest - i just don't want the sugar coated version of pollyanna lines.. i have spoken about this subject privately with one of you - ;) - and also with my hubby.
however, i'm wondering if i'm in the minority here when i bring this subject up.
being raised a jw i had to be so straight for so long.

Hello freedomlover,
Iv'e reviewed the scriptures concerning your "rebelious" ways and I can't seem to see the part were you arn't suposed to rebel against organized religion? Now if you are rebeling against God that one thing, and by reading your post I don't think that is what you are doing? I'm going to consider you a free thinker and there is nothing wrong with that in my book, in fact you can call me one as well.

Hi confused,
I just recently found this site myself and I love it.I applaud your courage to leave the JW's.There are many levels to your recovery and youv'e accomplished to most difficult one allready.I think you will find us "wordly" people arn't so bad! If being wordly means I'm a free thinking unconditional loving person, then call me WORDLY and proud of it!! Oh and by the way my relationship with God is better now than It ever was under the influance of the JW's!! Ive only posted a few messages on this chat room and I can tell you that there are some people here that are on a level that I aspire at one day.

I came from a second generation of the borg. I was tought that education was not as important than the work I did in Gods name.I still remember coming home from High School, and telling my drugged out Mom that I just dropped out. "Ah thats ok you don't need an education were your going"she slurred.
I'm 34 years old now and I'm currently studying for my G.E.D.

Will the new system be uncrowded?
by M.J. ini was talking to an elder yesterday about how enjoyable it is to get away from civilization in remote wilderness areas, unlike the circus you see at places like yosemite natl.
park in california.
with dreamy eyes he mentioned how great it will be in the "new system", when "we can enjoy uncrowded conditions.".

Hi M.J.
Its just a ploy by the borg.Just like the Mormons, they make you feel special.Its like bieng part of an exlusive club.Everyone wants to feel wanted,needed and special.How populated was the earth when the Bible was writen?They did not consider the future.
I have news for the borg,we are all God's children and we are all special to him.I don't waste my life working towards some goal that I won't know if I acheived it or not,I'll be dead! I spend my life doing what Jesus told us to do, not some man made Religion.I focus on what I can do in this life and not worry about the next.

D'Fing and Love
by I-CH-TH-U-S ini once talked to a jw about disfellowshipping and was curious to how can this be showing a christly love when you all out turn your back on them.
he gave me an answer about rightousness and unrightrousness having no fellowship (which is biblical) but it didnt make sense to me.
didnt seem applicable in many ways.

Can I get an Amen!!
Go tell it on the mountain Jamelle. I agree with everything you said.How do you sugar coat the ettemt to disdroy a young persons life and then say its Gods will to do so? Misery loves company I always say.If a lie is believed by thousands of people then it has to be the truth right.Wrong!

Hi garybuss,
It sounds like we have alot in common.My sons 9th Birthday was on Saturday, and I tried my hardest not to breakdown.I went all day and then it was to much I went into the gerage to kick the heavy bag around.I try my Hardest to give my kids a life that was robbed from me.After 15 years of therapy,pills,prayer and everything thing else you can think of I still have issues,especially around the Hollidays.I found this forum just yesterday and I can honestllly say it makes me feal better knowing I'm not alone.I love my family more than life, but hey don't understand like some of you people do.

How many left the JW cult after.....

I woke up in a drug rehab when I was 17. Not one Elder,not one brother or sister called to see how I was doing.I spent years in active service with those people and they dropped me like a brick.Even my own family shunned me. To make it worse they anounced in the hall not to asociate with me.WOW!! what a brotherhood, what a comrodery.I woke up during those 30 days, I saw the ORG for what they really were.JWs are all out for themselves, if it helps them get to paradise they with do it, but if its contrary to the governing bodys plan then forget about it.

Ive been out for 15 years and I still get attacks. Sometimes I have to pull over so i don't cause a crash.Medications just muted the problems, they did not offer a solution.Personal Prayer, and not setting foot in a Kingdom Hall or a Church again has been good therapy for me.If it wasn't for my wife and kids I would be dead!
