A Nice Welcome For All Our Newbie Friends- Seems They are Increasing !

by flipper in

jw
friends

hello friends .

is it me or do the rest of you notice a tremendous increase in newbies in the last couple of months ?

what a cool thing to know that these dear new friends of ours have a place to turn to for help, venting, posting their feelings on life and what they have been through and are going through in regards to anything in life.

WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME!!!!!

You probably are scared, confused, angry, hurt, and may feel in denial to an extent. Please know you are not alone! We are here for you. We have been in your shoes and know all the emotions you are feeling. Let us just tell you that even though it may not feel like it right now, there IS life outside the Watchtower!

But be assured that Jehovah and Jesus will not abandon you! Keep praying for guidance and wisdom. He does not want you to be afraid. As he tells us so in 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

How many times did you ask others in the ministry to examine their religion? Should not those in the organization be able to take a good look at their own? And if you are being discouraged from doing so by anyone, it should raise a red flag, as those who have truth should have nothing to fear, but should be only faith strengthened by it. The example of the Boreans was recorded for a reason.

Keep checking, keep making sure of ALL things....If you have questions, you owe it to Jehovah and Jesus to get them cleared up, so you can worship with confiedence. Remember, when Jesus was on the earth, salvation was contingent upon one thing. And that was faith. HE was the "good news". If there was more needed, surely he would have let people then know.

We welcome you with open arms! You have found a place where many still believe, but no longer believe salvation is through a organization, but rather through Jesus himself, as he set forth. If you need any help researching, please let us know what it is you are trying to find as someone will most likely have it filed away, and will be able to help get it to you. Keep praying and you will find the truth about the "truth".

Sincerely your sister and friend,

I have found something truly horrific.

by cultswatter in

this is big, very big.

bigger that pascal petite(well, just as big), bigger than the demonic hand or the rams head in the live forever book!!.

to present this properly, i will need a scan of the page in the live forever book where the thief is running from the police clutching a bag of goods.

Lady Liberty

OK...finished my cider, and am going to bed. Will check thread in AM to see what this truely horrific thing is we all missed.

Good night all and sleep tight!

Thank you for posting this! What a wonderful man he is!! I think most here agree we owe a aweful lot to him!! Because of his bravery for standing up and exposing the organization for what it is, many of us were able to find answers to our questions. These answers helped us to be able to find closure and to move on. (((HUGS))) to Ray and may God bless him!!

Lady Liberty

Dear Flipper..

HOLY COW!!! I cannot believe you guys are brave enough to go back!!! I'm freaked out just thinking about it. Maybe you could bring a pocket tape recorder to tape any screams you may hear. Oh... I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi everybody, my name is julie, and this is my first post.. i'm a third generation jw, or at least i was until a two weeks ago, when i was announced as no longer a jw.

i'm really happy about that, ecstatic in fact, although i'd been a jw all my life, and i'm 37 now.

i could have disassociated like my friends, but i couldn't be bothered to play their chikdish game, so i let them do it for me.

Lady Liberty

Dear Julie,

I was called "The Dog" tonight

by restrangled in

jw
friends

i am very angry.

i visited the active talk site tonight, identified myself as restrangled as most of you know who i am, and skally referred to me as "the dog".

i have been a member for just about 2 years, contributed cash to those in need without question, supported those in any way i could and my husband has done the same.. i am beyond hurt..i.thought myself and my husband had supported your cause......to be called "the dog" by one one of your most prominent members lets me know we don't count for squat no matter what we do...much like the witnesses.. thanks skally...you made my day today.. r.. .

Lady Liberty

(((HUGS))) I am sorry dear! That is terrible!

point of no return

by jacethespace in

i want to thank the people involved in this site and the people on here in general as you have all been a great support for me.i think the internet has actually saved my life because i probably would have remained in the watchtower forever without having all this extra information to look into on here and the net in general.well i have now started to pass the point of no return mentally.through information and considering the way watchtower really works.also i have spoke to my mom about me leaving and how i feel and she has give me some support.i feel the watchtower had put a divide between me and my non witness family that has now started to return.its seems to me like the tower severs that parent/ emotional tie and takes its place.im feeling better in my self and although i dont have all the answers am looking foward to moving on for good.im starting to see that the watchtowers happiness is anything but.ive thought for quite a while in fact its anti life.

jacethespace.

ps , anyone want to act out the fall of babylon in a play but replace it with the watchtower headquarters [ thats my anger coming out now].

Lady Liberty

Dear Jace,

(((HUGS)))! Many of us have emotionally moved on to a place of happiness and peace. It has taken a while, it is a journey, but we remain closely attached to the forum to help ones like yourself find the information they may not even know exists. Just like others so lovingly helped us. Once you have all the facts, then you can weigh out what is the right thing for you to do personally. To make a informed decision. The organization trys to keep all of these things hidden, that is why they "demonize" the Internet. For the very reason you said you were able to come to the conclusions you have and find the info you have on the Internet and this forum.

I am thrilled you are walking back down that path to your family. Most likely they have been praying for this day. I have a favorite quote now..."JOURNEY.....The bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you refuse to make the turn........JOURNEY". Life is a journey, and this is just a bend in the road. I would suggest you take it slow..and keep checking, keep making sure, that way you will have no regrets for the decisions you make.

A great book for you to read is Crisis of Conscience, and Captives of a Concept. They will be of great value to you and are easy to read. Infact most likely you will have a hard time putting them down. It will all come together for you. Remember...we are here for you..we have been in your shoes..and it will get better..just one step at a time.

Sincerely,

Lady Liberty
