"The Internet - The Watchtower's Worst Nightmare"
by Gayle inthis is the title of the 18th chapter in don cameron's new book,"captives of a concept" i just got.
the wts would want us to move on, shut up, be powerless as they control its people to not listen to us.
well, 'radio free europe' worked with time against the ussr (and actually ussr destroyed itself as it only drastically hurt their own people).

Who else is tired of the Just Get Over It threads?
by sass_my_frass ini have started this thread so that every time i see a new one i can point out how old that idea is.
congratulations.
it's great that you have obviously been able to get out without being harmed in some way - really, i'm happy for you.

Sass,
I agree and I think your post is great.
There are few who have come out of it unharmed and that is wonderful for them. However they are a minority! And then there are those who have never been in the organization or have married into this organization, that no matter what they say they can't possibly have a clue what it's like to grow up in or be cut off from your family and friends! I think this group annoys me the most. Some of us had no choice, we didn't choose the Jdubs. It was forced upon us from birth and only someone who has lived that can know what we had to deal with.
Some of us have moved on, but use this forum to help others that have not been able to move on or who are still trying to move on.
Thanks for posting this!

OM,
That was a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing that and I'm happy for you that you have those fond memories. They probably are a source of comfort for you especially now!
By the way - these types of threads should come with a warning for women who are PMS'ing, menopausal or pregnant!!

Last night the game was on and the hubby was still asking me questions and talking to me. In my mind I was thinking, "isn't there somewhere he can go watch the game with some guys and have a couple of beers"?
As if he could read my mind he said, "you want me to go out and leave you alone don't you"?
BINGO!!!!! After 25 years he can read my mind, FINALLY!
My point, we all need our own space. Women don't want their man around 24/7 just as men don't want their woman around 24/7. It's not all about the man!!!! Weak no! Emotional sometimes, but just as strong when we need to be!

Does God love you?
by nvrgnbk ininteresting read.. .
god hates you; but god is hungry and needs you to help him eat your soul.
he chuckles to himself that he cannot only suck out your life and being, but he can make you believe the lie as well.

Don't think i should have sent the text i just did ....
by dobbie inthink i just did something really stupid.
i have had a bad couple of days.
i was in the playground yesterday and had my jw bil stood right in front of me ignoring me totally (i'm d'ad) but talking to my hubby, who said nothing to him (her my eifes here too or something would have been nice) so i felt like total dogs poo and we both ended up in tears over it all when i got home.

Well, I'm a dad for the first time all over again
by RisingEagle inwhen i found this site i considered myself a fader with family still in the cult.
i thought that i should limit personal information so that any lurking scumbag wts reps couldn't track me and jeopardize the relationships i walk on eggshells to maintain with my family.
but something happened last night that caused me to suddenly not give a rats anal orifice what jw's think.. i got called 'daddy'.. my wife and i went through the court system in the early 90's to get her 2nd cousin who was 11 at the time, out of protective services (which was a group home for abused children).
