  what did you "sacrifice" when you came in the Truth?

  by skyclad in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm a newbie, bin lurking for days and bin doing so much research from your informative threads that my family think i'm possibly "comin back in the truth" =not!

  this is my 1st post so forgive if already done before, but just wondered what you had to "sacrifice to come in the truth?

  in my case, i was baptised in early 80's, my study conductor and all the dubs heavily drilled into us young-uns to sacrifice whatever it takes to please the org.

  I called all of my "worldly" friends and told them I couldn't hang out with them anymore. So right there I lost 2 of my oldest, best friends.
  
  Now If i leave the org, I'll also lose all the JW friends.

  Did the JWs conceal crucial info before your baptism

  by greendawn in

  2. experiences

  for those that became jws but weren't born in the cult, do you feel that before baptism the dubs withheld from you information that should have been revealed, things that if you were aware of you wouldn't become a jw in the first place, such as the heartless dfing policy.

  perhaps focusing on the promise of paradise earth and eternal life makes us forget to search out possible negative issues and that's part of their trickery.

  I didn't know about not being allowed to watch R rated movies. If I had known this, I might've questioned... Wait a second, I was 10 years old, I wouldn't have questioned shit!

  There are local needs in my hall all the time basically telling the sisters to shut up and not complain. It's getting ridiculous.

  Children in Bulgaria - CANNOT BECOME MEMBERS

  dear friends, .

  on various fronts there has been much discussion on the children of jehovah's witnesses being pushed into premature baptism.

  the statement that the society prepared for the european commission on human rights, however, is quite revealing.

  I have a pretty good poker face. I'd say "what?" and be persistent until I got an answer out of the person. Actually it's pretty funny, i forgot that I had that username stored on my instant messenger and my friend used it at my house. Bam, there's Stillgroggy.
  
  Turns out that he's been secretly inactive. So if I'm lucky, he's on here and he knows I'm SG, and I have a friend who really knows who I am. But I won't get my hopes up.
