Glad Australia has one of the strictest gun laws in the world. We have seen such a huge decrease in gun related crimes. us Aussies don't understand why America won't implement the same?

Parents who try to make you feel guilty.
by NJ501 inwhen parents say all the things we've done for you and your not doing anything for us in return like going to meetings, witnessing, answering up etc... how do you respond to parents?.

Yep me too. My father asked me if I was still a jw. I lied. Because they make you lie. These people are so brainwashed that are not capable of being normal. Normal parents don't disown you for leaving a religion. my parents told me I had to go back to meetings for them to have communication with me. I am inactive not d'fd. They are abnormal therefore lying to these brainwashed souls is justified Imo. I also don't care about their Jehovah and his commands of truth, Imo he is a piece of shit. He doesn't deserve my honesty especially at my expense. Lie and save yourself from the watchtowers evilness. it's a cult. We have power if we have communication with these poor souls.

What is sin?
by sinboi inwhat do you consider sinful?
okay, i know many of you no longer believe that there is a god.
just bear with me a little, just assumed that there is a creator or god.

Sin is a invented concept to control us. To even suggest we are born sinning instantly holds us captive and feeling guilty from the day of birth. I have never understood how a newborn who burps, farts, poohs and pees and sleeps is actually sinning? This the stupidest middle eastern barbaric beliefs that infiltrated the world. It's utter Bs..

My Father has brandished me with the "APOSTATE" word for talking about the BIBLE!
by stuckinarut2 inso after three years of fading, my elder father has never really asked why we have chosen to stop attending.. today, after a mixed discussion, he starts talking about the "solution to all the world problems" and says "i don't know what you now believe, but i believe gods kingdom will fix everything" i let the comment go, and didn't respond.. then he goes on about the video "remember the wife of lot" because he just came from the convention last weekend.
"don't get caught up in this system...blah blah".
i couldn't help myself, and said one thing "dad, that video failed to show the next chapter of that account.

I am sorry. I understand your pain. I am merely inactive and don't actively talk about the Jehovahs witnesses. Yet because I disagreed with their child abuse policies, apparently that makes me a apostate. Sigh......

Free to sin but still cannot bring myself to do it
by sinboi inhave da'd myself nearly 3 months ago.
now i am part of this world but i feel myself the odd one out.
something inside me is still blocking me to do the things i have been longing to do while i was still a jw, such as attending birthday parties, sex, etc.... just last nite, i was on the way to attend a birthday party.

You need to get rid of the word sin. There are no sins. There is criminal behaviour and activity but no sins. The concept of sin was made up to keep us captive. Live life ans enjoy it

What changes would JW.org need to make to become a normal Christian denomination.
by UnshackleTheChains ini am interested in getting people's thoughts on this.
on average 40 thousand people leave the organisation yearly for one reason or another.
the experiences all over the media are proof of this.

They need to stop the shunning practices. Allow people to resign or leave or be disfellowshipped without the loss of family.

Fewer christians (and other religions) and more with NO RELIGION in Australia
by fulltimestudent inthe results of the last australian census are trickling out, and the results offer an insight into the changing concepts of contemporary aussies.. in 1966 only 0.8 % marked 'no religion' on their census form.. in 2001 those marking 'no religion" had grown to 16%.. and in 2016 those marking 'no religion" had grown to 29.6%.. so more non-believers than any other group.
catholics (the previous largest group) were now only 22.5% of australians.. ________________________.
the other interesting change is language,.

Australia is pretty much becoming a atheistic country. Those who have a religion are usually moderate. I am happy how my homeland is starting to see the effects of religion.

Deborah Layton - Jonestown Survivor
by Tallon insaw this on the exjw reddit forum - very thought provoking.. "when your own thoughts are forbidden, when your questions are not allowed and our doubts are punished, when contacts with friendships outside of the organisation are censored, we are being abused, for the ends never justify the means.. when our heart aches knowing we have made friendships and secret attachments that will be forever forbidden if we leave, we are in danger.. when we consider staying in a group because we cannot bear the loss, disappointment and sorrow our leaving will cause for ourselves and those we have come to love, we are in a cult .... when family and friends are used as a weapon in order to force us to stay in an organisation, something has gone terribly wrong".. deborah layton.
