  Were your parents hypocrits?

  by Mysterious in

  1. jw

  did your parents hold you up to higher jw standards than they held themselves or force you to live up to things they never did if they were raised in the truth?.

  i know when my mother was a teenager they used to watch bewitched all the time and no one took it seriously.

  they never missed an episode.

  My Mother was a drug addict and an drunk.She blamed here perscription abuse on me,because she had some small complications from my childbirth.My Dad would tell us all what to say before we went to the KH.She has the Flu or she has some other illness, not shes drugged out of her friggen mind! She had more problems than I can list, but when she died last year from drug induced heart failure the org gave her the full funeral that they would give any other brother or sister.My Dad told the org she died from heart failure, but left the drug induced part out.

  My Dad was very abusive. I didn't mind getting hit or yelled at, what really hurt was the fact that he never said he was sorry or made a mistake. he never said he loved me nor did he ever say he was proud of me.The first time he ever said he loved me and hes proud of me was last year after his wife died and he found out that he has prostate cancer.I have forgivin him recently and I will be present for his prostate surgery in January. He is still active in the org.

  Needless to say if it wasn't for my wifes positive attitude I would have never had kids!! I try to be the mirror image of my parents, I try to do everything opposite of what my parents did, to me and for me.

  I obviously wipped the JW's off the bottom of my feet alone time ago.If I did not I would most deffinetly be dead now!!

  Using God's name in vain

  i"ve always wondered why jw's use god's first name, "jehovah" if that's what his first name really is, and is spelled correctly?

  people usually don't call their father's by their first name.isn't that disrespectful?

  shouldn't we call him "heavenly father?that way it applies to whatever higher power you believe in?.

  What are you REALLY like?

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it is strange chatting on the net, not knowing what everyone is really like.

  do you pretend to be someone you are not?

  i find it hard to know how to take people here sometimes, as words do not convey as much without seeing the facial expressions and hearing the tonal inflections.

  Jwfacts: To answer your question,No. I have not acted in revenge on anyone in the "Lie" AKA the "truth". I feel sorry for the ones who are doing it for the wrong reasons.It won't be a pretty sight, when it comes time to answer to the man,AKA, GOD.

  I will tell you this if anyone touches my children in any other manner than a handshake or a pat on the back, I will unleash WHOLLY HELL on there ass!!!!!!!!!

  My answer to your question may give you a hint as to why I practice Martial arts.

  Ive been free from the JW chains for about 15 years now. I have the obvious problems that most ex dubs have.

  I'm 6'2" 290lbs.I have a 12" tall Dragon tattoo on my leg. I practice Muay Thai Kickboxing and Jui Jitsu.I can knock a person out without even breaking a sweat! If the fight goes to the ground I could easily dislocate any of your joints.When I step into the ring I thing of everyone who has wronged me in the past.Ive been know to growl at my apponants.When I have spare time which is rare, I build and fly remote control planes from kits and blueprints.

  I'm also the most loving, caring Husband and Father you'll probably ever meet.I spend most of my energy making sure my kids have everything I did not.ie, a LIFE!! I Love my wife more than life its self!! She was and still is my guiding light!

  John 12:36 "While you have the light,believe in the light so that you will become people whose lives show the light". I love this scripture and I believe in the light!! I try and help people in everyday life, I use my mental and physical strength to do what I can in Gods glory!

  True happiness is a cold beer

  son was recently door-knocked by a pair of sombre j.ws.

  who began by emphasising what a bad state the world is in and asked him to agree.

  his response was "bull #hit".

  I always thought they were very morbid. I mean all they celabrate is Jesus's death and reserection. I remember during my last days of KH activity thinking there has got to be more out there than this sick ritual.ie the Memorial!!

  I remember as a kid in the "Lie" I mean "truth" Parts of the Dead sea scrolls were found and Jehovah's name was in them. I have a copy of the inglish translated version of the Dead sea scrolls and I can't find that name anywere? It's not even in the famous Psalm 83:18;. How do we know thats his name in english for sure?

  Matthew 15:9. Jesus States:"It is in Vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines'."

  Webster's Dictionary:"Vain" Pretentious display".

  I'm curious how the JW's can use the Lord's name in vain to spread their Religious agenda?

  I have many problems with the JW's Religion, but this one has been bothering me for a long time!!

  One more question, if I may? A Mormon friend of mine wants to know why there are no windows in the Kindom Hall's? Does anyone have an answer?

  Looking for some advice

  by MuadDib in

  i'm a young man raised in the jws, been meaning to get the hell out of dodge for a few years now (basically ever since starting a history degree and learning why the jw conception of history, science, and indeed of reality is so utterly nonsensical, in addition to having discovered girls and fun).

  i have no qualms about leaving the organization, i don't care what the elders or anyone else think about my decision - with the exception of my family.

  i love my family deeply and i know that my decision will really hurt them, especially my mother (a full-time pioneer), and this is making me hesitate to do what i know needs to be done in addition to causing me a lot of worry and stress.

  Hi MaudDib,

  You could do what I did. Wake up on a rock on a California beach, with half your face sunburned.The night before you could ingest about 5 different drugs and maybe have sex with a girl who meditates with a crystal? You could then go to the mall and buy some acid, then get cought speeding down highway 17.Then you could go home to your two faced parents, a mother who herself is a drug addict and a father who though you looked like you had the name "EVERLAST" on your forhead. You could then be forced to go to a drug rehab, and that is were you find your answeres.Your whole world is opened up there and you find a Revalation of your own.

  OR

  You could live your own life and make your own descisions.You could look to God for answeres directly, and not look to humans for the so called truth!!

  I think Jesus said it best when he exclaimed"do not put your faith in man"!!! Notice he said faith? I personally put my faith im my Heavenly Father!

  Agape Love

  Good Luck

  Hi Apostate Kate, I'm Apostate Chris.

  I'm glad you are here.I'm a newbie as well and sometimes I can't sleep at night because I can't wait to read the morning "post" excuse the pun.We both have alot in commin and I hope we can share some stories, talk about repressed memories and even get pissed off together. I felt the same way you did when i first started just the other day, but if we take it slow I'm sure this forum will help us both!
