  Still Amazed to Have Escaped

  by leavingwt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i escaped the wt more than three years ago.

  yet, even today, i'm still amazed, surprised and thankful that i got out.

  it's easy for me to imagine having never getting the information i needed to make a clean break.

  I consider myself very foturnate to have gotten out alive.

  Yes, I literally feel that way. Had I stayed in, I'm certain my jw husband would've gotten around to killing me as he was threatening to do. The difference for me, though, is the timing. There was no internet for the general public 24 years ago, so I left and remained a believer figuring I'd rather die a quick death at Armageddon than a torturous one at the hands of someone who claimed to love me and Jehovah.

  Ha, ha, Totally ADD! I do stuff like tha all the time; mostly because I misread words, because I'm too stubborn to put on my reading glasses.

  Personal Story - How a cult got me out of a cult

  by CitizenRain in

  2. experiences

  i used to be a bit more active in the community over on the yuku board (i recognize some of you from over there) but have lost touch.

  i've been lurking this board for about 3 years now and finally decided to jump in and post, and share my similar but still unique story of how i went from being a born-in true believer to a full blown apostate.

  first off, let me introduce myself.

  assemblies and my lovely wife

  by stillin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i finally put a couple of pieces together that have boggled me for years.. i would take my family to the conventions and assemblies and for some reason, my wife would always be upset or start an argument in the car on the way home, or in the week that follows.

  i realize now that her frustration is that i am not the guy in the demonstrations.

  you know, the guy who has the bestfriend/elder who always says the perfect thing and the guy is so humble and does this little talks-to-himself thing where he reveals his deep spirituality and applies the ever-so-wise words of his friend and after that life is just great again!.

  Stillin, maybe you should become completely inactive, including not driving your wife to the conventions. She may come to appreciate you for the pis poor brother she thought you were. If not, at least you wouldn't be there to be bitched at.

  Update: I got the shun at my dad's funeral- the best outcome really!!

  hello all jwn .

  so glad to have that over with- it was surreal to walk in the kh after two years...it is just a building to me now (not "jehovah's house").

  i must say that now i'm on the outside...what a boring sad building- the people were not joyful and friendly (just older and fatter than i remember)- i got the nervous stares and shaky "hi" when i looked at all of them and said hello.. my mom was sitting all by herself in the front row of the hall...i went and sat by her side.

  What a beautiful poem, and what a bunch of gaping assholes who were offended by it! So sorry for your loss, dear girl.

  Telling a Depressed Person It's Demons!

  by NewChapter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when a person is depressed, their cognitive abilities are depleted.

  they are processing reality through a very negative filter and need help getting balanced.

  they often experience fear, guilt, hopelessness and anxiety.

  But when the CO visit came they recommended my removal because I lacked "soundness of mind."

  But those bastards who cover up child molestation and domestic violence are of perfect mind, of course. How about the sick SOBs that decided that homosexual adultery and bestiality weren't "scriptural grounds" for divorce? What kind of soundness of mind did those mental GIANTS have?
