  For those of you who is contemplating leaving the Borg, consider...

  by James Mixon in

  2. bible

  i know it's not easy for you to walk it's a big decision, family and etc.. if you are afraid consider this.

  i have been here for a few years and i can count on one hand from posters who made the statement, i can't take it anymore, i'm going back.. what is it that members here have given up their family and friends to be free.

  is it so we can have sinful fun, we are our own person and no one will tell us what to do?.

  You end up hearing the absurdity of that 'stuff' that was once upon a time your life and future compass!

  That is the way I feel now, how absurd it was, what I believed, and true it is embarrassing having to admit you once believed it!

  Last Saturday was a beutifull day in this part of Germany, so I spent the day in Cologne. I saw some JWs doing their Trolley Service. I thought about baiting them a little, but then I did not, I was having a great day and did not want to spoil my day. But GodZoo I find it great that you did what you did.

  truth

  by Sabin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i`ve been thinking, a thread was put up about a month ago asking the question " why me?

  basically why some of us find out ttatt while others are so blinded, good, sincere people that we love.

  well after some consideration i have come to the conclusion that 1) some are in the truth 2) others want truth.

  You make a very good point, I wanted the truth, and thought I had found it and blindly followed the bOrg for 29 years. I did investigate thanks to the Internet and found TTATT.

  If somebody really needs help, there are professionals that are not necesserily there to help JW survivors. As JW indoctrination is very abusive and coming to terms with this abuse is difficult, then a psychiatrist or a psychologist is a great help. But that costs money, but believe you me it is money well spent. I took this step of visiting a psychiatrist and it is a real help.

  The help on this forum is only part of the healing process, and believe you me you can have a lot of fun here, but if the feelings result in much sadness and even suicidal, seek professional help from a psychatrist.

  Cedars leaked letter requested to be taken down by WTBTS

  by umbertoecho in

  2. scandals

  i don't know if this is already posted so sorry people if it is.

  cedars site has had a request to take down the leaked letter regarding changes to the theocratic ministry school and other issues.. the reason given by wt is that it is a "copyright" issue.

  of course this validates the letters authenticity even more.. have a good day or night people.

  With the leaking of this letter I hope it causes a "Witch Hunt" within the bOrg, this is something that will damage them internally more so than the actual leaking of the letter.

  How the JW org uses propaganda

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  back in 2005 a new branch was opened in guatemala with a great fanfare and the ritual praise of god for his blessing on his people.

  the triumphal chant was hail the theocracy ever increasing!

  since the branch has now closed so soon after opening, does this mean withdrawal of blessing and theocracy is diminishing?

  Well as people are not entering the bOrg it shows the propaganda is no longer lulling people to sleep. As for JWs waking up, the alarm clocks are getting louder. The grand awakening is coming.

  World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!

  the chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.

  the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.

  my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

  There monitoring of such sites, just about shows the level of insecurity they have, always having to look over their shoulder.
