  2. friends

  i'm starting to get my first hate mail because of my book.

  two people sent the book back to me (unread of course) with notes about jehovah's vengeance.

  one person tore it up and sent me a note.. however, i know of two born in jws that read it.

  Thanks for posting, we all deserve to be happy. Look after yourself and become your own parent, I know it even at 55. Self love is so important. If you can do anything to advance your career to become more independent do so.

  Build your own authentic life going forward.

  Best wishes !

  Interesting observations at an SDA church

  2. experiences

  i’ve just attended a sda church service today.

  i have to say the attendance was similar to what i would expect to see in a jw service.

  the style and nature of the service was also very jwish (formal, drab and boring).

  I went once or twice on my journey out of JW. The only weird thing was the Ellen White idolatry slant. Other than that it's fine if you're into such a thing. Personally I'll never be an active member of any faith group again, can't stand having to answer to anyone and have to give up any of my freedom. The tithing is totally unacceptable.

  hello everyone i just wanted to give a quick life update as it is three years since being out of the cult.

  i’ll never forget missing our first memorial back in 2017 as it etched in our minds that we were never going back to watchtower.

  these last years have been amazing especially since izabella has been home with us.

  Ending Bible Study

  by Maria Nieves in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.

  initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.

  however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.

  Skimmed over earlier pages myself.

  Just want to add that the guy I studied with totally smothered me and was controlling. I knew what was happening but thought I was smarter than that and remained polite. ( I had a great hunger for learning the Bible and still have much respect and interest in it ) For whatever reason I wanted to get baptised asap just to get him off my back. Once I did it didn't get any better as it was just only more work and 'privileges' Ultimately I had no choice but to switch congs. and lessen to work load and enjoy life more. Then began my fade.

  They really do have issues with personal boundaries, as in non existent..

  PS : Yes on selfishly racking up hours for themselves. Brother study was a pioneer and invited me over for supper, study at their house so his wife could sit in and count, it was unreal !! It was extremely costly to my own mental health. Last time I ate there close to 20 years ago I peeled out after pedal to the metal. I was driving a diesel Jetta at the time and if it would of been a higher powered car I think would of smoked out first and second !

  Do You Take Any Special Vitamins or Meds That You Would Recommend?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as we get older , we tend to feel the aches and pains or some tiredness like never before.. i have some friends who are in excellent condition and i’ve asked what their secret was.. some swear by cbd oil as a cure all for aches and localized pain.

  greek yogurt is a natural food that can attack gut fat as does taking probiotics.

  have you found anything that makes you more energized?

  I've become salt intolerant over the years, BP shoots right up. Eliminated chips, salty peanuts and dressings. Use non slated everything, really helps. Have one if not two salads a day with chicken or tuna and cut way down on red meat, maybe one steak diner a week at most now. Water, drink at least a litre and a half a day, probably two or more on a good day. Sugar as well, cut down quite a bit on deserts but is way less harmful for me than salt is. No more alcohol drink near bear instead. Coffee one or two max a day, half sugar. One meal replacement per day on average for breakfast, Vega One all in one is best for me I find, Isagenix shakes are more fattening. Have that with a banana. As for mulit-vitamin I take the Isagenix AM/PM packs, very expensive and am actively looking for something as good at lesser price. Works for me as I was in very rough shape at 215 after getting out of the JW treadmill, claimed my life back. Long term damage to me was the high BP that the "best life ever" engendered.

  Oh and lots of mountain and fat biking combined with free weights and stretching. Doing ok for my 55 years, 5'9" 185 looking for 175-180 this summer.

  Hope this helps
