To be a Nice Apostate or a Mean Apostate.....
by AK - Jeff in..... that is the question.. how do you react - and is it a 'planned reaction', when confronted with jdubs in public?.
i have personally determined that i will not allow people whom i knew for 40 years in some cases to 'shun' me without a cost to the reputation of their religion in the eyes of those who see it.. if i come face to face with a witness who turns the other way or rudely brushes past [as if i am dead], i will point out to all in the area [carefull not to appear the raving lunatic] that this is the way jehovah's witnesses act toward one who has quietly left their faith.
i expect two things will begin to happen as a result.. 1- witnesses will become so paranoid of the possiblility of meeting me and being embarrassed in public, that they will alter their schedules to avoid the places i might be.

I did not have time to read all these posts. Lovelylil: I am sorry for the way your children were treated-how vey unchristian.
As for me, I am a fader so I have not experienced shunning yet. But I think I will always try to be nice. Say hello and wave at least. Let them show their true colors and be ugly.

Imagine if the Watchtower crumbled and ceast to exist....
by JH inwouldn't this be a disaster for the majority of the jw's who need guidance and control?.
all their dreams of paradise earth would be gone.
they would have to start focusing on the time they have left to live.. although the watchtower is a controling organization and a false prophet, can we say that it has it's use for some people?.

Did demons ever really rape some sisters?
by hambeak ini had a conversation last night with someone and we were reminescing about the late 60's and early 70's about how a couple of the sisters were telling at the time that they were being molested and sometimes raped by demons.
in our cong they were told to open the bible to a certain scripture and leave the bible open to it at all times and leave a light on.
anyone else remember some of this paranoia?

What planted the seed of doubt that lead you to leave or think of leaving?
by NanaR ini've been thinking of this a lot lately.
the following experience ties my first doubt in with my present life.
as a backdrop to this, you should know that i was a 5th generation "raised in the truth" jw through my mother (her great-grandfather got "the truth" from pastor russell).

Hi Nana. That was a wonderful story.
Being raised a witness, little things would bother me from time to time but I would push them aside and "wait on Jehovah". When I discovered the UN deal laast summer, everything that had always botherd me came flooding back I could no longer dismiss my negative thoughts.

to me, that i am more or less infected with "witness" think.
other words, i still think like a jehovah's witness.
