"the fds is directed by holy spirit, that's why god teach us using the literature the slave class provides" .
"a spiritual person sees the education with scorn.
that is why the organisation recommends short courses and jehovah will be very happy with you" .
"God gave some of his Holy Spirit so the brothers could know how to operate the printing machine in the early days, just like He did with those in the past building the Tabernacle"Is this a joke?
Yeah exactly! Just use the instruction manual you gang of titheads.
we assume that they or their dupes read this forum, or parts of it, right?
address your comments to them.
do so kindly, and respectfully, remembering that it is their religion, and they can run it like they like.
Shame on you GB.
How can you live with yourselves?
How can you sleep at night?
Don't you feel just a tiny bit of remorse for what you are doing with peoples lives?
Or are you just too carried away in your seat of power to give a dam?
The way you brainwash, manipulate & lead people astray is truly disgusting.
Your 'Preaching' work should be illegal in EVERY country.
What gives you the right to go around injecting your poisonous crap into everybody?
You have got a lot to answer for.
If there is a God, i hope he judges you according to your deeds.

i'm new to this site.
i'm not a jw but have studied with them largely because i wanted to know for myself what jws believed and wanted to hear it from them, not from others (i.e.
catholics, baptists, methodists, etc.).
Wow! that's an interesting post. Well i would consider myself lucky if i were you, you did not get baptised and confirmed as a member of their organisation.
You got off lightly.

... unless you read apostate views.. you may become inactive, like i did, and find a way to assimilate yourself into the normal world.. but you will always have at your core a view of the world that the witnesses gave you.
their basic teachings will still be your world view.. you will never realize you were indoctrinated by a cult.. for those poisoned by jehovah's witnesses there is only one antidote.. there is only one way to understand your life and progress from there.. the only true cure for jehovah's witnesses is apostasy..
Interesting post.
you say;
You will never overcome your witness past
Hmmm, i'm not sure about this. I think you can overcome your witness past, but of course it takes strength, determination and a certain resolve to move forward and make a fresh start.
But you will always have at your core a view of the world that the Witnesses gave you
You may have their teachings in your head for a while, but the longer you've been out of the org the more you realise what they taught you was a load of shit. After you have left and start to live a normal life, you begin to realise the very manipulative, obsessive, paranoid and sometimes childish methods that the WTBTS used on you. You then realise that they use such methods in a desperate attempt to keep all of its members under control and held captive.
The worst thing that could affect you for a long time after, is that if you still have family members in the cult who shun you (on the instructions of the org) after you have left. If this happened to me, i imagine this would be truly painful and i certainly wouldn't wish this on anyone else and i feel for anyone who has had it done to them.
I agree that apostasy certainly does help you after your exit, and websites like this do make a good contribution to your recovery, but i dont think apostasy on its own it is the sole cure of overcoming your 'Witness' past.
Good post though!

not that any of them would post, but do you think that they have people who they secretly have visit anti-jw sites and forums like this just for the purpose of seeing what people are saying about them and what their current members might stumble upon?.
if you google jws, the first couple are official, the next two are wikis, then you have an anti-jw site and then there's this one.
any current or potential member that is looking for more information than is published by the wbts will be directed to these sites.
Now what's that saying?.....
'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer'
Of course they will.
i'll start - sir walter 2 wee dutch dickski 1. all goals scored from open play in normal time.. any advance?.
Without Martin Skyrtel Zenit will loose.
As for the Mancs scum Fergie will probably pay the referee to swing the match with very dodgy decisions like Steve Bennet did on Sunday against Wigan.

first off, happy mother's day to all the mothers out there!.
the bible says we are to honor our mother & father.
that's why i don't understand why witnesses don't acknowledge their mothers on mother's day....and their fathers on father's day.
I totally agree with you Lavender. Your mother is your best friend, she is someone who has always got time for you, will always listen to your needs, will always be there for you and will always help you in whatever way she can.
And what is wrong with setting one special day out of 365 to remember your mam with a card and maybe a gift or flowers? To not recognise/celebrate days such as these is another one of the WBTS cold & unfeeling policies.

I agree with this one from Alpaca;
Living life as non-judgmentally as possible.
Also, some of my own;
A non JW way of living.
Living and working in Norway - what a fine & beautiful country.
Treat others as you would like to be treat yourself.
Never take yourself too seriously.
Make the very most of what you have got.
Also;
Seeing Manchester United (soccer team) get beat.
do you love yourself?
do you think that other people enjoy being around you?
?
I'm a lot more happy with myself since i've left the Borg. I feel more confident, independent & wiser.
i'm always interested in seeing a good movie , anything out there that really rocked your world , please share.....
