Do you still call it "the truth"?

by True North in

jw
friends

do you find youself still calling it "the truth" even though you are an ex-jw?

for instance, in one posting i just read, the poster wrote "when i was in the truth..." .

not a big deal, perhaps, but really not such a good thing either as it's a habitual holdover from the program of mental conditioning we were subject to.

Did you say "I love you?"

by serendipity in

i grew up in an emotionally constipated family.

my parents didn't hug us or tell us they loved us.

they were slightly affectionate with each other, but i don't think i ever heard them express their love for each other, in front of us kids.

My family said it growing up but more as I aged I guess.

Serious Question....as I am scratching my head on this one

by onlycurious in

what happened to all the people who died before c.t.

russell?

for thousands of years, there were no j.w.'s.

searching4truth

I believe they think that there were only very few faithful christians between the first century and russel. All the rest are supposed to be part of christendom.

Meditation, letting the demons in

by free2beme in

jw
friends

i remember asking an elder once, "what do you think about meditation?

" he responded that we should not relax and open our minds, as opening our minds can let demons in.

i thought that seemed like a odd response, and looked it up in the watchtower, and sure enough he gave the societies views on meditation.

searching4truth

I have been really wanting to experiment with meditation but don't know where to start
