Hello Junctions-wife

Could you give us alittle more information? like....has she seen a doctor? do you know what is wrong with her?

There has to be a reason for her to not want to eat.

Anti-witnessing

by Highlander in

jw
friends

during my time as a j-dub, it was encouraged to take every opportunity to informal witness with people.

a good example would be to witness to a co-worker.. i avoided this as much as possible when i was a dub.

if the topic of religion came up at work i would try to change the topic or gracefully exit the conversation.. now that i'm far removed from this cult, i find myself taking every opportunity i can to anti-witness against the j-dubs.

THIS IS HOW I DO MY ANTI-WITNESSING.......

Writing and promoting my book, "Going Undercover To Rescue My Daughter, From The Cult Of Jehovah's Witnesses" By Nancy J. Sage

It is wonderful to see so many picking up the banner to expose this cult !!!!!

Has anyone concidered going on a talk show about the JW's?

not to "hash out" some "personal" issues, but to give the general public the "proof" that the society is spewing nonsense to it's members time and time again about the "end is coming" for all who are not jw's.. it would be easy to get the proof with the recording that we all have access to on here.

does anyone want to try to contact the different shows with this?

there are plenty of us who do not care who knows about our views and have nothing to "lose".

EXCELLENT SUGGESTION BRENT7

I am glad to hear there are voices out there other than mine, trying to get on the "the talks shows"

I wrote my book "Going Undercover To Rescue My Daughter, From The Cult Of Jehovah's Witnesses" just for the purpose to use as a catalyst to expose this cult. I am in the process now trying to get on the main TV talk shows, and I am thrilled to see others are trying too. I think it is the legalities that are hindering this from happening. But if there are enough of us knocking on their door, I know something will happen.

My vocus will be to expose how responsible the WTS is in causing dysfunctional families, mainly separating them through their policies of disfellowshipping, and branding those that resign like I did, as an apostate. Restricting members of your family to communicate with you. As my personal story shows I lost my daughter to this cult for 10 years before I went undercover to rescue her.

I am in communication now with a Psychologist in Penn. He has many ex-jws that he is treating for spiritual abuse. After reading my book, he has asked me for more data on cults and Jehoavah's Witnesses, which I have sent him. There is a need now, more than ever before because I believe there is great exit going on.

Thank you megsmomma for calling attention to this great need.

Its Time To Post!

hello all: i have been lurking around this site for over two years.

due to a recent post of someone claiming to be an elder (which has been removed) i have been motivated to post.

i have been around this site for well over two years and have read most of your posts carefully.

Hello Lurker,

It is great to hear from you. Your righteous indignation toward falsehood is being manifested and will eventually move you to action. We all have been through this process in getting out of a cult, and leaving some of our loved ones behind. I am with you in spirit.

It is not easy to blaze a trail, to be the first to carry the banner, but what we read in the bible, isn't this what God admires in a person? We all need to find our own way to accomplish a decision like this, and everyone has their own way of doing it.

When we think of how our loved ones are in a cultish mental prison, not able to exercise their own God given conscience, it becomes unbearable to watch. It is only in the name of love that will motivates one to do something about it.

If you would like to PM me, I will share some of my successful subtle ways that I used in de-programming my daughter.

Happiness comes from within, learning to love (yourself) before you can love and appreciate anything or anyone else. People or material things cannot make you happy.

Author John Gray wrote a book that turned my thinking around..." How To Get What You Want, and Want What You Have" He also wrote "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus"

Most of us have been where you are, you are not alone, but never give up in finding the answers for yourself.
