  my wife has recently become very curious about my activity on my ipad.

  i delete my browsing history but if she should discover this site and my identity here, she will gladly hand me over to the hangman, something i have managed to avoid for quite some time now,.

  i hit the "sign out" button, but i find that i'm still logged in!

  My daughter texted me last week and said "dad is trying to hack into your tablet". I was really panicking because I hadn't deleted my history before I went out. He gets really annoyed because I have a password on. "What is she trying to hide" he says. I take it out with me now every time I go out. I also delete all the history after being on it.

  Oranges are not the only fruit, is a book by Jeanette Winterson

  This is the story of Jeanette, adopted and brought up by her mother as one of God's elect. Zealous and passionate, she seems destined for life as a missionary, but then she falls for one of her converts.

  At sixteen, Jeanette decides to leave the church, her home and her family, for the young woman she loves. Innovative, punchy and tender,

  Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is a few days ride into the bizarre outposts of religious excess and human obsession.

  What was your eye opening moment?

  2. experiences

  if you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.

  i think for me it was the time i saw my dad shun his brother who he had not seen in decades just because he was a da'ed jw.

  i thought to my self "no way jesus would do that.

  1975, the generation, then discovering the history of the org, that they said millions now living will never die in the 20s; I was shocked.

  Influence of Death in the Mind

  by ivanatahan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most meetings and congregations stress the idea that jehovah's witnesses will live forever on a paradise earth.

  most jws are always "comforting" others about how death is only temporary.

  then you get those jws who are scared of death.

  I am not afraid of being dead because I won't be aware that I am dead, but I am more afraid of how I will die and whether it will be quick or prolonged. There is a very small part of me that hopes death won't be the end and that there is something more. I secretly have hoped that we do go to heaven and I can say to all the jws, you were wrong! Lol

  HOW MANY WOULD LEAVE?

  by disillusioned 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are a lot of people on this site and others who even though they don't believe anymore still fill the seats at the meetings.. i was just wondering, if they all decided to leave at the same time, how many do you think would leave?

  would the numbers drop dramatically?

  i would love to see that..

  I only joined this site a month ago and JWSurvey not long before that. I have been out for years even before we had the internet in our house. Even though I was out it took me a long time to get up the nerve to check out apostate sites, I was terrified my husband would find out I was on them. I thought that everyone who did not believe anymore would have just stopped going. I was amazed when I found out that there were many who still went (including elders) and that some still even went on the ministry and gave talks. I never ever thought that this could happen, and it has given me hope that someone I personally know could also be doing this, and that I could get a call from an old friend or family who has started to wake up.

  I can understand why so many do this because of family and friends and the fear of losing them. This question was asked because I have been wondering a lot just how many of you there are, but I guess that would be impossible to answer.

  Living without the hope of paradise

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have major health issues myself and as i deprogram myself further i'm getting so sick of other jw's telling me that i'll be cured in the paradise, new system is just around the corner etc etc.

  of course i have to nod and look enthusiastic in return but inside i'm screaming with frustration!

  i have accepted that unless medical science makes major breakthroughs that i will be like this until i die.

  Now Even JW Men Are Going To Die At The Big A

  by OneFingerSalute in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.

  the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.

  he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.
