How Long Did It Take You To Snap Out Of Watchtower Think?

how long did it take you to snap out of watchtower think?it took me better than a year to let go of watchtower think.

the teachings held on to me.

more so than the emotions and i did not have family in the organization to tie me down.. disconnecting yourself from watchtower thinkwhen you first discovered what the society was behind the scenes how long did it.

I still have mild relapses now and again but they are few and far between. It did however take some five or six years to "feel comfortable" in my non-jwishness.

Did anyone get the old "counterfeit money" illustration?

a couple of my old witness girlfriends came over last night (note-i only recently left the org.

like 2 months ago, so people are still trying to get me to come back and "reason" with me)...and they used that stupid "counterfeit money" illustration.

i swear, every time i tell people i don't think it's the truth, they put that old illustration on me!

Christendom is likened to a sucker that has fallen to the ground. Would you pick it up and eat it?

5 second rule.

Apologies From The Watchtower Society

apologies from the watchtower societywhat if the watchtower bible and tract society owned up to its mistakes .

how would you react to it?

naturally, this is all speculation because the .

Any apology they would ever feign would be insincere and so of no value. I mean, if they have no clue as yet as to the millions of lives they have negatively affected then there is no reason to believe they will ever own up to the harm they've inflicted. ... or something.

Long Time Current Bethelite's Take On the Young, New Gov. Body Members

by Seeker4 in

i was talking to a friend yesterday whose sister and brother-in-law have been at bethel for three decades at least, working in important departments that put them in contact with the writing dept., gov.

body, etc.

on a daily basis.. this friend of mine has been a witness for half a century, and has been fading for the past 3-4 years.

if we're lucky, 5 minutes of actual personal awareness. The rest is just performing the play.

How odd. We get only five minutes of personal awareness and yet fifteen minutes of fame.

maybe it's just my math is off.

Dun Dun Dunnnnnn!!!

had a dream last night about my self righteous step dad's jw ramblings...talking about things that didn't make any logical sense.....then i woke up, looked at my clock and it read 6:07 on the dot.....just thought it was kinda funny.

knock knock

I use to notice the time at 6:07 very often and it had me spooked - so to speak. It was like this reminder two times per day that I was not one of the elite group anymore. I have since let that 607 superstition go and now tend to look at the clock when it says 7:11. So instead of time reminding me of death and destruction I now think of slurpees, sodas and hot chocolate on a winters day.
