Check out Artemis' little hat for "modern" day jw roots. This link takes a few minutes to load the pics but is worth it.

Why Did God Call ME Out of the Watchtower?
by stevieb1 ini was just thinking on this issue last night - why did god happen to guide me to a more accurate knowledge of the bible instead of the many other sincere people still in the congregation i used to associate.
what makes me so special as to warrant this blessing?
is a good education in bible doctrine the sole criterion for exiting the watchtower when there are many sincere ones who are not natural students who seem permanently trapped in the cycle of watchtower feeding.

There is a big difference between a person who is sucked into a cult and taught that they have to stay or else... and that they may need to give up the life of their child if they get into an auto accident and need a forbidden "fraction" and forbidden to have a holiday or a loved one over who has differering beliefs and that wind chimes are evil and so is everyone except them......ETC..........................and a person who loves Christ and has been set free. No comparison.
Abbadon.. you feel that the opposing posters are being helpful who equate the mentality of a jw with the mentality of a Christian?? lol.
All that a Christian is responsible to do is love others. You need to get us out of that?

One woman's opinion
by happyout inwhen i first came to this site, i felt enveloped with warmth.
i had finally found a group of people who could understand my continued resentment of the wts, and didn?t think i should just ?move on?.
although there were some strong disagreements and personalities, for the most part people seemed to respect one another.

Hi Happyout,
I didn't always agree with TJ either but I did respect him as well, and found him to be quite nice. This board has changed alot since I have been here and I must say that it seems to constantly suffer from convulsions of explosive behavior and then it calms only to explode again. I attribute this to the fact that the posters here are growing and evolving and dealing with a lot of pain and and a life that was a lie. It is a difficult transition and I suspect that even the mod's are dealing with their own past spiritual abuse. IMO, xjw's are not exactly well balanced..lol.. I wish TJ much happiness in his life. I'm saddened if he is hurt. I do miss his posts.

you know, it really does work for some people. haven't you ever met some one and thought, wow, you can take a person out of the org but you can't take the org out of the person? (did that make sense?) i have. i've met lots of people that buy into organized religion. and just because i think it's a lie doesn't mean it's not benefitting them in some way.
No tink....I honestly can say that I disagree. I have had different experiences than you though, so I guess I can only go by what I know and have seen. I have not to this day, met a jw who is happy or well adjusted or not caught up in the judgemental attitudes which cause self misery. I see no happiness and very little love. It is my reality. I am glad that you know differently though.

What do you call Jehovah now that you are not a dub?

LOL @ Random
I use Father more often than anything else. It feels right to refer to him with this intimacy. I do recall in Romans where it says that our spirit bears witness and call out Abba, Father.

Funny, I have no desire to get my family out of the org. I think they need it.
What an odd thing to say. Do tell? Do you suppose it gives them discipline that they would otherwise lack? I think that is a very sad statement. Jw's are enslaved to man and his false teachings. They are unhappy in the depths of their soul. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
