Amen, sister!!
this is the title of the 18th chapter in don cameron's new book,"captives of a concept" i just got.
the wts would want us to move on, shut up, be powerless as they control its people to not listen to us.
well, 'radio free europe' worked with time against the ussr (and actually ussr destroyed itself as it only drastically hurt their own people).

i have started this thread so that every time i see a new one i can point out how old that idea is.
congratulations.
it's great that you have obviously been able to get out without being harmed in some way - really, i'm happy for you.
Thank you for this post.
Like most people here I have my good days and my bad days. On good days I think man life is great I'm so happy that I'm no longer part of that cult and have a normal life. On bad days I have an old JW friend shun me or my mom wants to tell me about the meetings and I get angry and sad that this cult is stopping me from having a normal relationship with my family.
For those of you who are over it good for you!
it feels like being in the twilight zone right now!
what kind of choice is is when we are put in the position of choosing between loved ones and our freedom??
i am so angry right now, i feel like screaming in frustration.
Maddie no need to appologise. We all have felt the same way at some point. This is the perfect place to vent

my mums mum is very sick, she has been in hospital the last month with really bad infection, they have tried every time of antibiotics to get rid of it.
this last week she has refused to eat and drink, she told my mum she was tired of all of this, and basically said her goodbyes the other night.. we went in on saturday to see her, my mum was there, and even tho it was a little strained we managed to talk for a few hours it was nice to see her.. i got a phone call off my dad's mum today saying that my nan was deteriorating, so i msg my mum to see if this was true, it wasnt, my nan likes to dramatise things, my mum promised me she would keep me updated.
i received a phone call about an hour ago from my nan (dads mum) saying that the infection has cleared up and that she is improving and eating and drinking.
(((((((((((Es)))))))))))))) Sorry you were treated so badly. Try not to get too worked up it's not good for the little one on the way. They are not worth the stress.
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.
Hi Ian & Claire
So glad you're back home Ian. Keep on getting better.
Love
Mrs Smith

Hi
when you started understanding that the "truth" wasn't all that it was cracked up to be, how long did it take for you to get mentally and/or physically out??
?
5 long years!
it's been lots of fun.
thanks simon and co. thanks to the many forum members who posted life saving information.
without it, i would still be part of the collective.
Gonna miss that avatar!!! Take care and all the best with your new career and business.
how do your minds work people??.
the word 'cult'.
who is comfortable saying they were raised in a 'cult' or were brainwashed temporarily by a 'cult'?.
I have no problem telling people that JW is a cult. I want to educate as many people about it as I possibly can. The more people are aware of it the less chance of them getting invloved with the next JW at their door.
