UPDATE ON DANSK

by Physio in

jw
friends

it's been a long time since i posted here but i often read your messages when ian (dansk) logs on.

as most of you will know, ian will be going back into hospital on monday for an allogeneic stem cell transplant and will be away from the forum for a good few weeks (hopefully he'll be back home within 4-6 weeks).

last time he was in hospital many of you sent messages to his ward and i know they cheered him up immensely.

Mrs Smith

Thanks for the update Claire. You and your families are in my prayers.

Do you know how many e-cards Ian has recieved so far?

Former Jehovahs WitnessAre Hypocrites

former jehovahs witnessare hypocritesit amazes me how these people who once donned three-piece suits .

with book, bag and bible in hand are now singing the blues.

these former jehovahs witnesses, who would annoy a man and his.

When you know better you do better! While I was in I thought I was helping others find the "truth". Now I know that there is no such thing and I no longer bother them on a Sunday morning. While was still under the illusion that what ever the FDS said was law I did what I was told to do. I have since realised that it's a load of bs so I no follow their every whim. It's not that we have simply changed our minds and turned on the JWs. It's that we were lied to. I feel I have an obligation to tell others that JWs are a cult and I will scream it from the highest mountain if I have to. Didn't know I had a bit of drama queen in me.

I had no idea there were people who felt like me

by Orgull in

i've recently begun challenging my beliefs.

all my beliefs, including those ingrained in me as one raised "in the truth".. a few years ago i sought therapy for chronic depression and my treatment was remarkably successful.

as a side effect, things that used to "work" for me no longer fit with the new emotional pathways and strengths i was developing.

Mrs Smith

Welcome to the forum. Hope you have many hours of happy reading and postng.

Bad Day !

friends

every now and then a day can put things into perspective.

i can be pissed because; a car driver cuts me off while riding a bike, verizon want me to pay bs charges on my phone bill, or thirdwitness is defending the watchtowers abuse policy.

but, today, my uncle fell down the stairs and shattered his skull.

The Little Gentleman

by mrsjones5 in

for the last two weeks my youngest boy joshua has been wearing a dress shirt, pants, and a sportscoat.

i've tried putting other clothes on him, like a t-shirt and shorts, but he always changes out of them for the dress shirt and pants.

it is so cute and he knows it.

Mrs Smith

That's so cute! 3 is such an adorable age, Enjoy,

How do you explain mind control

by Mrs Smith in

how would you explain mind control within the wbts to a person who has never been a jw?

how do you explain that inteligent people can fall prey to the jw message?

no one wakes up in the morning saying "today i'm going to join a cult!

Mrs Smith

Yes I understand that but explaining to people that have never been JWs is an other story. I don't think they understand that it's easy for people to be scamed in this way. No one wants to think that they are gulible.

Thanks Unique 1. I've never hear it put that way before but it's easy to understand. I'll try it on my friends that are asking these questions.

Onthewayout. I really want to read Steven Hassan's book. Not that easy to come by here in SA. Will have to order it. Thanks for the great info. I'm going home now but will check this post in the morning so please keep the coming!

Have a great evening or morning whatever time it is there!

Must really get the net at home cause I spend half of my work day catching up on the post I missed while I'm at home.
