Hate

when things are going well, you can sorta ignore all the crap the jws have brought to your life, but sometimes you gotta let go, get it out.

i was talking with a nurse today who has to deal with the jw demands about blood transfusions, and i found myself speaking outright against the jws and their f*cked up beliefs.

if i could destroy that religion i would.

The Bible In Lego

the bible can be quite a hefty read, so if you want to read it why not do yourself a favour and have a look at the lego version?

if only they'd studied this version at the hall, i would have actually paid attention.

My Mother's Going Back

she hasn't bothered with the jws for about 10 years, now she's having bible studies with them again.

i'm caught now between wanting her to see what a big crock of shit it is and thinking what right do i have to attack someone's beliefs if it makes them happy?

she hated the control and hypocrisy she saw there before, didn't know anything about the un or 607 info, i showed her some sites the other day and it peaked her interest.

.

i'm fine with storms now but before if i was sleeping and thunder woke me up i'd automatically think this could be the end.. i know an exjw now who gets nervous if there's a storm, she hasn't been able to break free completely from that childhood belief in the back of her mind.. how about you?

0-16. My Story.
by serotonin_wraith in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was raised from the womb until the age of 16 as a jw, i was never really a part of it.

i never got baptized, by the end i hated everything about it.

the worst part was not being able to voice any opinions i had on the religion, not unless i wanted them to fall on deaf ears and be considered immoral.

How False Can You Be Now?
by serotonin_wraith in
1. jw
2. friends
hi, my first post but i'll get more into my background later.. i was raised as a jw for sixteen years, one good thing that came from it was my learned ability to lie extremely convincingly using body language and speech.

not just through how they taught you to act, but by leading a double life for so long just to survive childhood.. so how about you?

how false are you able to act now and do you find it helps?
